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

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

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.

Quality scale

Importance assessment

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

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

  • 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. Finally, there is a detectable POV seemingly promoting the Syrian Christian Church.Mannanan51 (talk) 04:40, 19 December 2012 (UTC)Mannanan51[reply]

  • 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.

  • Christ myth theory -- After finally outlasting the resolve of vandals and mythers, this page has made serious progress in the last two weeks in terms of sourcing and content. I've submitted it for GA review and I'd love to see it go from a B to an A in its qualty ranking. Either of these attainments will help forestall future attempts to hijack the article for promotional purposes. Eugeneacurry (talk) 19:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Carolingian cross - I have essentially written an entire article for this topic, conducted extensive historical research into this cross symbol, linked it up to many other topics that share the same historicity, and have hopefully written an article that objectively discusses the Carolingian cross and its history. I would be very grateful for someone to assess this article as I have put an entire semester of work into it. --Radical Contrarian (talk) 00:55, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Chosen (TV series) - This article has been rated a stub since it started in 2019 and looked like this. It has changed significantly and a lot of the original issues have been addressed, with now new issues creeping in. It could use a re-assessment and some guidance on where to take it from here.

  • Glorify - I created this article based on research I did after discovering this app. I honestly don't know if it really belongs here as it's not really a historical article but rather a flash of current culture. I also would not be surprised if this request will be laughed out of the project, but if someone in this group is willing to check it out and improve it if desired, or vote on it (it's been nominated for deletion, but the reason doesn't jive with me since there are 14 very credible, reliable sources I pulled information from and editors (who I had issues with on another page) and admins alike are voting to delete it saying the sources are bad, which I disagree with. The context of creating this article was that it's interesting the bridging of technology and Christianity, especially the quick adoption in Latin America of using online tools to connect with God. And endorsed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. But if it truly reads as an advertisement, I'd like to hear it from any eyeballs willing to give it a glance, and an honest, unbiased vote of course.

Assessment log

The logs in this section are generated automatically (on a daily basis); please don't add entries to them by hand.
  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.
