====Requested Assessments==== |
|||
<!-- Add your assessment request here --> |
|||
* [[Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire]] has been retitled and extensively revised by multiple recent editors. It combines three previous articles into a single discussion and is now WP's primary source on this topic. I would like to see a reassessment of its importance accordingly. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 19:02, 31 October 2022 (UTC) |
|||
*[[Christianity and alcohol]] - I have been working on this article, and I am nearly done (still doing some research to add more history from the early church and from the Prohibition Era). It's currently GA-class, but it might be suitable for A-class. In the next few months, I'd like to see it become FA-class. --[[User:Flex|Fl<font color="green">e</font>x]] ([[User_talk:Flex|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions:Flex|contribs]]) 20:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC) |
|||
*:This article is now GA, but its importance still needs reassessing. [[ Christianization of the Roman Empire]] redirects to this article, as does [[Decline of Greco-Roman polytheism]] which was merged into this article, making this article WP's only discussion of the history of how this religion spread as it did. That seems more important than mid-level imo. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 18:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
* [[Christianization]] has had a total rewrite, is no longer a start class article. Its topic is listed in two places on Religion's Top importance list, so it is probably not correct to continue to classify it as low importance. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 18:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC) |
|||
* [[Richard Rhodes Bristow]] New article [[User:Muchclag|Muchclag]] ([[User talk:Muchclag|talk]]) 19:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC) |
|||
* [[Erasmus Sarcerius]] is an article I wrote earlier in the year, it would be very much appreciated if someone could take a look at it and assess it. Thanks, [[User:EytanMelech|EytanMelech]] ([[User talk:EytanMelech|talk]]) 14:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC) |
|||
* [[Luo Wenzao]]: I significantly expanded this article and it is no longer a stub. It is about the first Chinese Catholic bishop. Many thanks if someone could re-assess it. --[[User:TheLonelyPather|TheLonelyPather]] ([[User talk:TheLonelyPather|talk]]) 00:20, 24 April 2023 (UTC) |
|||
* [[Continuing Anglican movement]] has been updated and expanded. I do not think it is Start-Class anymore - would appreciate a reassessment. |
|||
* [[Draft:Richard James Waugh]] New article regarding an ordained minister in New Zealand, all advice before draft submission welcome --[[User:Thatusername96|Thatusername96]] ([[User:Thatusername96|talk]]) 12:36, 15 August 2023 (NZT) |
|||
* [[Leontius of Jerusalem]] [[User:IX1922|IX1922]] ([[User talk:IX1922|talk]]) 22:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC) |
|||
====Completed Assessments==== |
|||
==== Comments on importance assessments ==== |
|||
*[[Theology of relational care]]: This article has some potentially serious issues; it may even be in the wrong broad topic category. At the very least, either the article name is very non-indicative of the article content, or the article content is severely incomplete and overly exlusive. See its Talk page for more details. |
|||
:: —[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theology of relational care (2nd nomination)|Proposed deletion]] and redirect to [[Practical Theology]]. [[User:Bdhamilton|Brian]] ([[User talk:Bdhamilton|talk]]) 18:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC) |
|||
Hi, |
|||
::: Deleted on 27 October 2022. |
|||
I'm a Christian from a pretty fundamentalist Lutheran setting in Finland. I believe I know quite a bit about history of Christianity in general, and I know my Bible and generally Lutheran theology quite well (as well as reformed theology to a fair extent). I took a look at the importance assessments, and I find some of them fairly strange from my POV: |
|||
* [[Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)]] — frankly, never heard of this. It most definitely would not be a "core topic of Christianity"; I doubt it deserves even high importance (is it "vital to understanding Christianity"?) |
|||
* [[John Calvin]] — in my opinion [[Martin Luther]] should be considered at least as important. It seems Luther is missing the Wikiproject Christianity infobox entirely? But is classified as high. I think these should probably be (at most) high, not top. There's lot of Christianity (i.e. the Catholic and Orthodox churches) that is understandable without knowing about these people or their theologies. |
|||
* [[Catholicism]] should IMO definitely be in the top importance category, along with [[Protestantism]]. Same goes for [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]. |
|||
* Is [[Christian demonology]] really high-importance (vital to understanding Christianity)? I'd probably drop it to at least mid, probably low. |
|||
* I'd drop [[Karl Barth]] a bit further down the importance scale from high. Not vital. |
|||
* Is the [[New English Translation]] vital (high)? I'd argue the KJV has had a bigger impact. KJV is not part of WP:X? |
|||
* [[Southern Baptist Convention]] is not vital to understanding Christianity (high). Also relatively unknown outside of the US. Actually I think no article of a movement that solely exists in one country should be rated high. |
|||
* [[Antichrist]] is rated mid. I think it's at least more important than demonology. High or mid, hard to say. --[[User:SLi|SLi]] 02:58, 13 April 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::I think the Southern Baptist Convention meets this criteria: High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Christianity. As the largest denomination in the U.S., it is very culturally significant. Also through the IMB, they impact the world. It is also well known outside the Christian community (although probably negatively).[[User:Akubhai|Akubhai]] 12:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC) |

Welcome to the assessment department of the Christianity WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Christianity 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 {{ChristianityWikiProject}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Christianity articles by quality and Category:Christianity articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
[edit]- How can I get my article rated?
- Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
- Who can assess articles?
- Any member of the Christianity WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
- Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
- Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
- What if I don't agree with a rating?
- You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?

Quality assessments
[edit]An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{ChristianityWikiProject}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Christianity articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Christianity articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Christianity articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Christianity articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Christianity articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Christianity articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Christianity articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Christianity articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Christianity articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.
Quality scale
[edit]Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA | The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Mortara case (as of March 2016) |
FL | The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Peter Martyr Vermigli bibliography (as of August 2016) |
FM | Pictures that have attained featured picture status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. More detailed criteria
A featured picture:
|
The page contains a featured image, sound clip or other media-related content. | Make sure that the file is properly licensed and credited. | File:Canterbury Cathedral Choir 2, Kent, UK - Diliff.jpg |
A | The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. | Battle of Nam River (as of June 2014) |
GA | The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria
A good article is:
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Mary Magdalene (as of June 2018) |
B | The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Psychology (as of January 2024) |
C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. | Liberation theology (as of June 2019) |
Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
|
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Advocates of Roman congregations (as of June 2019) |
Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Church Association (as of June 2019) |
List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | List of Ecumenical Patriarchs of Constantinople (as of June 2019) |
Category | Any category falls under this class. | Categories are mainly used to group together articles within a particular subject area. | Large categories may need to be split into one or more subcategories. Be wary of articles that have been miscategorized. | Category:Christian pacifism |
Disambig | Any disambiguation page falls under this class. | The page serves to distinguish multiple articles that share the same (or similar) title. | Additions should be made as new articles of that name are created. Pay close attention to the proper naming of such pages, as they often do not need "(disambiguation)" appended to the title. | Christ (disambiguation) (as of June 2019) |
File | Any page in the file namespace falls under this class. | The page contains an image, a sound clip or other media-related content. | Make sure that the file is properly licensed and credited. | File:Worship of the shepherds by bronzino.jpg |
Portal | Any page in the portal namespace falls under this class. | Portals are intended to serve as "main pages" for specific topics. | Editor involvement is essential to ensure that portals are kept up to date. | Portal:Anglicanism |
Project | All WikiProject-related pages fall under this class. | Project pages are intended to aid editors in article development. | Develop these pages into collaborative resources that are useful for improving articles within the project. | Wikipedia:Naming conventions (clergy) |
Redirect | Any redirect falls under this class. | The page redirects to another article with a similar name, related topic or that has been merged with the original article at this location. | Editor involvement is essential to ensure that articles are not mis-classified as redirects, and that redirects are not mis-classified as articles. | Christ (as of April 2019) |
Template | Any template falls under this class. The most common types of templates include infoboxes and navboxes. | Different types of templates serve different purposes. Infoboxes provide easy access to key pieces of information about the subject. Navboxes are for the purpose of grouping together related subjects into an easily accessible format, to assist the user in navigating between articles. | Infoboxes are typically placed at the upper right of an article, while navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page. Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information. | Template:Christianity by country |
NA | Any non-article page that fits no other classification. | The page contains no article content. | Look out for misclassified articles. Currently, many NA-class articles may need to be re-classified. |
Importance assessment
[edit]An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{ChristianityWikiProject}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{ChristianityWikiProject| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - The subject of this article is a must-have for a print encyclopedia. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance Christianity articles
- High - The subject of this article contributes a depth of knowledge regarding Christianity. Adds articles to Category:High-importance Christianity articles
- Mid - The article fills in more minor details regarding Christianity in general. Adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Christianity articles
- Low - The article is about a topic that is mainly of specialist interest in the general field of Christianity. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance Christianity articles
- Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Christianity articles.
Importance scale
[edit]Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Top | The article is one of the core topics about Christianity. Articles in this area should be limited to those which could, reasonably, be found in any encyclopedia regarding Christianity. | A reader who is not involved in the field of Christianity will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. | Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. | Christianity |
High | The article covers a topic that contributes a depth of knowledge regarding Christianity. | A reader who is not all that familiar with Christianity will likely be familiar with the subject and many details of it. | Noah's Ark | |
Mid | The article covers a topic that is important to at least one field within the broad field of Christianity, and that contributes relevant details regarding the subject. | Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. | Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Christianity. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people whose involvement with Christianity in general has been of such impact that a broad understanding of Christianity is not possible without some knowledge of them will be rated in this level. | Ark of the Covenant |
Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Christianity. | Few readers outside the Christianity field may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. | Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Christianity, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Christianity. | Aarhus Cathedral |

Requested Assessments
[edit]- Historiography of the Christianization of the Roman Empire has been retitled and extensively revised by multiple recent editors. It combines three previous articles into a single discussion and is now WP's primary source on this topic. I would like to see a reassessment of its importance accordingly. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:02, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- This article is now GA, but its importance still needs reassessing. Christianization of the Roman Empire redirects to this article, as does Decline of Greco-Roman polytheism which was merged into this article, making this article WP's only discussion of the history of how this religion spread as it did. That seems more important than mid-level imo. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Christianization has had a total rewrite, is no longer a start class article. Its topic is listed in two places on Religion's Top importance list, so it is probably not correct to continue to classify it as low importance. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
- Richard Rhodes Bristow New article Muchclag (talk) 19:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Erasmus Sarcerius is an article I wrote earlier in the year, it would be very much appreciated if someone could take a look at it and assess it. Thanks, EytanMelech (talk) 14:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Luo Wenzao: I significantly expanded this article and it is no longer a stub. It is about the first Chinese Catholic bishop. Many thanks if someone could re-assess it. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 00:20, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Continuing Anglican movement has been updated and expanded. I do not think it is Start-Class anymore - would appreciate a reassessment.
- Draft:Richard James Waugh New article regarding an ordained minister in New Zealand, all advice before draft submission welcome --Thatusername96 (talk) 12:36, 15 August 2023 (NZT)

Completed Assessments
[edit]- Theology of relational care: This article has some potentially serious issues; it may even be in the wrong broad topic category. At the very least, either the article name is very non-indicative of the article content, or the article content is severely incomplete and overly exlusive. See its Talk page for more details.
- —Proposed deletion and redirect to Practical Theology. Brian (talk) 18:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
- Deleted on 27 October 2022.

Assessment log
[edit]- The logs in this section are generated automatically (on a daily basis); please don't add entries to them by hand.
Sorry, all of the logs for this date were too large to upload.
- ^ For example, this image of the Battle of Normandy is grainy, but very few pictures of that event exist. However, where quite a number of pictures exist, for instance, the moon landing, FPC attempts to select the best of the ones produced.
- ^ An image has more encyclopedic value (often abbreviated to "EV" or "enc" in discussions) if it contributes strongly to a single article, rather than contributing weakly to many. Adding an image to numerous articles to gain EV is counterproductive and may antagonize both FPC reviewers and article editors.
- ^ While effects such as black and white, sepia, oversaturation, and abnormal angles may be visually pleasing, they often detract from the accurate depiction of the subject.
