Wikipedia:WikiProject SUNY/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject SUNY! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's State University of New York 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 New York|class=|importance=|SUNY=Yes|SUNY-importance=}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:SUNY articles by quality and Category:SUNY articles needing attention. The quality and importance ratings serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

When assessing an article for this project, please add the {{WikiProject New York|class=|importance=|SUNY=Yes|SUNY-importance=}} template to the article's talk page as follows:

{{WikiProject New York|class=|importance=|SUNY=Yes|SUNY-importance=}}
  • The class parameter should be chosen from those given in the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale. Note that you should not assign any article GA, A or FA classes arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels and undergo a peer review process.
  • The importance parameter should be "High", "Mid", or "Low", depending on how important the article is to understanding the State University of New York as a whole.
  • If the article needs immediate attention due to suspected copyright infringement, vandalism, exposure of personal information, or other urgent issues please add attention=yes
  • If the article has no infobox (and it makes sense to add one), please add infobox=yes
  • If the article has no photo, please add needsphoto=yes
