Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Merseyside! This department focuses on assessing the quality and importance of Wikipedia's Merseyside-related 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 Merseyside}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Merseyside articles by quality and Category:Merseyside articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
