====Requested Assessments====
====Requested Assessments====
* [[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)
*[[Modernism in the Catholic Church]] - I think I have rearranged the article quite substantially. I would be grateful for a new assessment.--[[User:Sylvain Leblanc|Sylvain Leblanc]] ([[User talk:Sylvain Leblanc|talk]]) 19:00, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
*[[Biblical criticism]] - recently assessed GA, I would like to have it assessed for possible FA. [[User:Jenhawk777|Jenhawk777]] ([[User talk:Jenhawk777|talk]]) 20:38, 6 July 2018 (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====
*[[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.

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.
*[[Paul the Black]], [[Peter III of Callinicum]], [[Athanasius I Gammolo]] I've added quite a bit to each of these articles. I would be grateful for a new assessment. [[User:Mugsalot|Mugsalot]] ([[User talk:Mugsalot|talk]]) 19:36, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
:: —[[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)

* [[Thomas the Apostle]]. I would like to propose this for a re-assessment as it does not appear to be B-class. There are almost a dozen "citation needed" tags (placed by someone other than me) and at least one of the numbered refs doesn't appear to correspond (i.e., a cite to "AFM" shows as "3", "5", and "15", where 3 & 5 correctly link to something else entirely.

*[[Biblical canon]] I have been working tirelessly over a month, reworking this article with limited resources, and using when possible what was already mostly available within the article itself and related articles. I think this is important, as related articles sometimes contradict one another. Especially of note are how thorough the tables are now. I am also proud of the re-worked section on the Mormon canon. Clearly, there is still work to be done, especially with the citations.... just looking for feedback, and a possibly higher rating.

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.

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

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

  • 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.

  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.
