Hello and welcome to WikiProject Children's Literature, a WikiProject to better organize information in articles related to children's and young adult literature!

Project scope

[edit]

This project is dedicated to improving the quality of coverage of children's and young adult literature on Wikipedia. The main aims of this WikiProject are to:

The topics covered by this WikiProject include any articles about children's or young adult books, magazines, short stories, poetry or fictional elements; authors, illustrators and publishers of children's and young adult books; awards for children's and young adult books; and articles relating to the scholarship of children's and young adult literature. Notable exceptions to this scope include redirect pages, and articles about adaptations of children's literature in a non-literary medium, such as musicals and films.

Here are some open tasks for WikiProject Children's literature, an attempt to create and standardize articles related to children's literature. Feel free to help with any of the following tasks.

Assessment

[edit]

Welcome to the assessment department of the Children's Literature WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality and importance of Wikipedia's children's and young-adult literature related articles through the WP:1.0 program.

Assessing articles

[edit]

Any user can add articles to this WikiProject by adding {{WikiProject Children's literature}} to the article's talk page. This should only be done if the article relates directly to the project scope, and if you find any articles which seem to be incorrectly tagged then they can be delisted by removing the project template from the talk page.

Articles are assessed through the |class= and |importance= parameters in their {{WikiProject Children's literature}} project template. Class is used to denote the quality of the article, and importance to denote its importance to WikiProject Children's Literature. The possible values for each of these can be found in Assessment Criteria below. Often when articles are first tagged they will not be assessed on these qualities, but they will automatically be added to the project and should be assessed shortly, allowing for delay due to backlog.

Any user can assess articles for this project, even if they are not a member. However, some users prefer an outsider's opinion on articles they are closely involved in, and you can request an assessment from project members by adding the article to the list of Assessment requests below. These will be dealt with by a number of editors; if you would prefer one particular individual for some reason, it may be better to contact them through their talk page.

Ratings are often subjective and will change over time as the article develops. If you have any problems with the ratings system, you may wish to leave a message at the project talk pageorthe article discussion page.

Department tasks

[edit]

If you want to help the assessment department, please contribute to any of the following tasks:

Assessment Criteria

[edit]

This project uses the WP:1.0 assessment criteria to assess articles. The criteria specific to this project are listed below.


Quality scale

[edit]

This WikiProject uses the WP:1.0 quality scale to assess its articles. If you feel any article is incorrectly assessed, you can either change it yourself, selecting the correct article class from the table below, or request an assessment from this department for a more objective viewpoint.

  • e
  • Importance scale

    [edit]

    The criteria for rating importance are intended to give a probable indication of the relevance of each article to this particular project and the likelihood of the topic's inclusion in a traditional encyclopedia. Importance is intended to be a neutral, international value which is not affected by editor demographics or regional biases, but some subjectivity is always present. If you do not agree with an article's importance rating, you may wish to contact the user who assessed the article, or begin a discussion of that article at the Article Discussion page.

    Label Criteria Examples
    Top Subject is a "core" topic for children's literature and is highly significant to a general audience. Dr. Seuss
    Newbery Medal
    High Subject is very notable or significant within the field of children's literature and has some significance to a general audience. Curious George
    Judy Blume
    Mid Subject is notable or significant within the field of children's literature (or to a historian), but not necessarily outside it. Walk Two Moons
    Quentin Blake
    Low Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within the field of children's literature, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of a notable author or other notable subject. Absolutely Normal Chaos
    Anthea Bell

    Assessment requests

    [edit]

    If you have made significant changes to an article on this project and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below along with your signature and any comments you wish to leave. This is not required, and you may assess the article for yourself, but any articles here should soon receive attention from a project member, who may also leave comments on the article's talk page. If you assess an article on this list, please use <s> and </s> to strike it through so that other editors do not waste time going there. Assessed articles will be removed periodically.

    Please do not place articles which you believe to be Good ArticleorFeatured Article class on this list. These have their own nomination procedures, which can be found at Good Article nominations and Featured Article nominations.

    Please do not place articles which have not yet received assessments on this list. Any unassessed article with the project tag will automatically be categorised as unassessed and will be dealt with as soon as possible. There may be a short delay due to backlog.

    Collaboration

    [edit]

    Welcome to the collaboration department of the Children's Literature WikiProject! This department is intended to bring attention to articles of high importance to the project which are currently of a low quality. The department will promote these articles, and will regularly choose one of them which all project members are asked to contribute to as much as they feel able.

    The current Collaboration Article is Curious George (book). Please visit this article and contribute to it in any way you can.

    At the beginning of the Collaboration, it was rated as High importance and Stub class. So far it has improved to Stub class.

    If you wish to be updated about the collaboration articles for this WikiProject, please use {{WP:CHL COLLAB}}.

    If you wish to nominate or discuss future Collaboration Articles, please visit the department page.

    Common article templates

    [edit]

    Stub sorting templates are used on Stub-class articles to specify the topic they are based on. Stub sorting templates are maintained by WikiProject Stub Sorting and a full list can be found at WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Some of the most common stub types on this project are:

    Infoboxes are used to give a summary of the main features article's topic. They generally consist of a list of features which the article might have, and as many of these features as possible should be specified, although many can be left out if they are not known. Infoboxes are maintained by WikiProject Infoboxes, and help using them can be found on the Manual of Style and help page about them, in addition to on each template's documentation page. A variety of infoboxes are available depending upon the subject of the article in question. A full list is available in Category:Infobox templates, but some commonly used infoboxes on this project are:

    Navigation boxes are used to ease navigation between a group of articles on the same topic. There are many navigation boxes used by this project, which generally group articles by some shared characteristic, for example {{Harry Potter}}, grouping by series, or {{American Library Association}}, grouping by organisation.

    Resources

    [edit]

    This is a list of useful pages which are outside of this project, but may still be useful to project participants.

    Notability

    [edit]

    All articles in this project should meet the notability guidelines relevant to their subject. Please read these guidelines carefully before creating any new articles. All articles should also meet general Wikipedia guidelines such as a neutral point of view, verifiability and no original research before being created. Any articles about living persons must also meet the criteria listed at Biography of Living Persons.

    Authors should meet the notability criteria for creative professionals. Authors are generally notable if:
