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.
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 {{tl|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 [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Christianity articles by quality|automatically generated worklist]].

{{Assessment Class Summary|banner=ChristianityWikiProject|topic=Christianity}}
An article's quality assessment is generated from the ''class'' parameter in the {{tl|ChristianityWikiProject}} project banner on its talk page:


After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.
; <nowiki>{{ChristianityWikiProject| ... | class=??? | ...}}</nowiki>

The following values may be used for the ''class'' parameter to describe the quality of the article:
* '''FA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:FA-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''A''' (adds articles to [[:Category:A-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''GA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:GA-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''B''' (adds articles to [[:Category:B-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''Start''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Start-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''Stub''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Stub-Class Christianity articles]])

For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the ''class'' parameter:
* '''Template''' (for templates; adds pages to [[:Category:Template-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''Dab''' or '''Disambig''' (for disambiguation pages; add pages to [[:Category:Disambig-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''Cat''' or '''Category''' (for categories; adds pages to [[:Category:Category-Class Christianity articles]])
* '''NA''' (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to [[:Category:Non-article Christianity pages]])

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in [[:Category:Unassessed-Class Christianity articles]]. The class should be assigned according to the [[#Quality scale|quality scale]] below.

After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added either to the article's talk page or to the /Comments subpage which will appear as a link next to the assessment. Adding comments will add the article to [[:Category:Christianity articles with comments]]. Comments that are added to the /Comments subpages will be transcluded onto the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Christianity articles by quality|automatically generated work list]] pages in the Comments column.

====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)
*[[Shrine of Our Lady of Madhu]] - New article. <font color="Orange"><b>[[User:Wikiality123|Wiki San Roze]]</b></font><sup><i> <font color="green">[[User talk:Wikiality123|†αLҝ]]</font></i></sup> 00:15, 20 October 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)
*[[Creation Ministries International]] - I have tried to clear up some bias on this article and add a few references, but its still very rough. I believe it deserves its current class and importance --[[User:Cid935|Cid935]] 17:14, 14 October 2007 (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)
*[[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)
*[[Argument from love]] [[User:NBeale|NBeale]] 12:35, 13 April 2007 (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)
*[[Argument from beauty]] [[User:NBeale|NBeale]] 12:35, 13 April 2007 (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)
*[[Argument from morality]] [[User:NBeale|NBeale]] 12:35, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
* [[Continuing Anglican movement]] has been updated and expanded. I do not think it is Start-Class anymore - would appreciate a reassessment.
*[[Alcohol in the Bible]] - I branched this off from [[Christianity and alcohol]]. It is currently a GA candidate, also. [[User:Flex|Fl<font color="green">e</font>x]] ([[User_talk:Flex|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Flex|contribs]]) 16:28, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
* [[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)
*[[Christadelphians]] - Article that has been around for a while but has only just been tagged with wikiproject. Is anyone actually reading this list? --[[User:Samtheboy|Samtheboy]] <sup><small>([[User talk:Samtheboy|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Samtheboy|c]])</small></sup> 11:57, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
*[[Samaritan's Purse]] - [[User:Sd ca|SD CA]] 22:55, 20 August 2007 (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)
*The articles on [[Unitarianism]] and [[Unitarian Christianity]] are exactly the same. No need for the redundancy. I would recommend removing the latter altogether, as the former name is usually the one that people search for.
::: Deleted on 27 October 2022.
** Someone has merged the two articles under Unitarianism. Good idea. [[User:Timotheos|Timotheos]] 19:10, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
*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)]] &mdash; 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"?)
** Reassessed. Start-Class to B-Class. Fits B-Class standards. It has the majority of material it needs, but has needs sourcing and better writing. Mid to low importance. Fits low importance criteria, not mid. Not required for a broad understanding of Christianity. Lacks a strong role in Christian history. [[User:Vassyana|Vassyana]] 05:49, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
* [[John Calvin]] &mdash; 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.
** Reassessed. Top importance to High importance.[[User:Timotheos|Timotheos]] 02:27, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
* [[Catholicism]] should IMO definitely be in the top importance category, along with [[Protestantism]]. Same goes for [[Eastern Orthodox Church]].
** Reassessed. You are correct that these are all top level topics for Christianity. Only [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] was not assessed as top importance. I have corrected this oversight. [[User:Vassyana|Vassyana]] 05:53, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
* Is [[Christian demonology]] really high-importance (vital to understanding Christianity)? I'd probably drop it to at least mid, probably low.
** Reassessed. It is not vital to understanding Christianity. However, it strongly features in portions of Christian history. Revised to mid importance per guidelines. [[User:Vassyana|Vassyana]] 05:59, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
* I'd drop [[Karl Barth]] a bit further down the importance scale from high. Not vital.
** Reassessed and assigned Mid level importance - Barth is important but not vital to understanding of Christianity. 19:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
* Is the [[New English Translation]] vital (high)? I'd argue the KJV has had a bigger impact. KJV is not part of WP:X?
** Reassessed. The NEB is important but not vital - Mid importance. [[User:Timotheos|Timotheos]] 19:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
* [[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.
** Reassessed. The SBC has a "strong but not vital role in Christian history". This would make it of mid importance. [[User:Vassyana|Vassyana]] 05:57, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
* [[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). I think a problem may be that there are two desriptions given for each rating and they aren't necessarily the same (culturally significant is different than vital).

:::I disagree. It has 16.3M members. That's a very small percentage of all Christians, compared to the truly major international churches. And really outside the US, I ''think'' I have heard of it before, but I bet 99 % of people haven't. I don't think it has much of a historical significance outside the US either, at least nothing even remotely comparable to, say, Luther or the Eastern Orthodox Church. Also [[Pope Benedict XVI]] should be high, at least he's a hundred times more known than the Southern Baptist Convention. I think if there was a Chinese or Indian church that had 100M members, it would be of high importance; maybe less if it had significant influence outside those countries (which the SBC really does not have). --[[User:SLi|SLi]] 16:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
*[[Saint Thomas Church (Strasbourg)]] New to this group so forgive me if this is standard, but I'm not sure how an article describing one particular church building can be considered "vital to understanding Christianity" or "culturally or historically significant aspects of Christianity". Christianity's impact on architecture is certainly culturally/historically significant, but one specific instance of that seems less important, IMO.

**Since no one seems to have a differing opinion on this, I've gone ahead and changed the importance level to "low" [[User:Wegsjac|Wegsjac]] 03:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Christianity

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?
Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

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:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Christianity pages) Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Christianity pages) Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Christianity pages) Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class Christianity pages)  FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class Christianity pages) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Christianity pages) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Christianity pages) Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class Christianity pages) Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Christianity pages) Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Christianity pages) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Christianity articles) ???

After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

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:

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

Requesting an assessment

[edit]

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below. Once assessed, please add a reply to the request and move the item to 'Completed Assessments'.

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.

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.

  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ 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.
  3. ^ 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.
