The purpose of this page is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's figure skating articles. The list could be used to select candidates for Wikipedia 1.0, or perhaps even to create a CVG WikiReader. It should also allow us to identify areas that need work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{ WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Figure skating articles by quality and Category:Figure skating articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist: Index · Statistics · Log

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{ WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Figure Skating
| class=
| importance=
}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Figure skating articles)
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Figure skating articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Figure skating articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Figure skating articles)
• C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Figure skating articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Figure skating articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Figure skating articles)
• FL (adds lists to Category:FL-Class Figure skating articles)
• List (adds lists to Category:List-Class Figure skating articles)
• NA (for pages such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Figure skating articles)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Figure skating articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter

• Top (adds articles or lists to Category:Top-importance Figure skating articles)
• High (adds articles or lists to Category:High-importance Figure skating articles)
• Mid (adds articles or lists to Category:Mid-importance Figure skating articles)
• Low (adds articles or lists to Category:Low-importance Figure skating articles)

Quality is graded based on the Version 1.0 Assessment Scale.

Criteria

The following table summarizes the criteria used to assess articles at each level of the quality assessment scale. In addition to the criteria, the tables list the assessment process used at each level, describe the reader's experience at each level, and provide editing suggestions and an example of an article assessed at that level.

Note: Our thanks to WikiProject Military History, whose assessment procedures served as a model.

Figure skating assessment criteria

Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions	Example
FA	The article meets all the featured article criteria. The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates.	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.	Tara Lipinski (as of 5 February 2023)
FL	The article meets all the featured article list criteria. The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates.	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.	List of career achievements by Yuzuru Hanyu (as of 19 June 2021)
A	The article meets the A-Class criteria. The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by at least three impartial reviewers. At least one reviewer must be active in WikiProject Figure Skating and is: (1) familiar with MOS:FS; (2) familiar with figure skating as a sport in general; and (3) has contributed major parts to at least one figure skating article of FA/FL or A-class since 2020. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.	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.
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.	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.	Nathan Chen (as of 25 January 2024)
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.	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.	Fantasy on Ice (as of 19 March 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.	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.	Figure skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's singles (as of 1 February 2024)
Start	The article is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.	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.	2013–14 figure skating season (as of 18 January 2024)
Stub	The article 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.	Alana Toktarova (as of 9 February 2024)
