Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Long Island! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Long Island articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Long Island}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Long Island articles by quality, Category:Long Island articles by importance, and Category:New York articles needing attention (the latter is shared with WP:WPNY). The quality and importance ratings serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. There is also Category:Non-article Long Island pages for things like redirect pages, templates, categories, images, etc.
