The assessment department of WikiProject Germany focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to Germany. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 program.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{ WikiProject Germany}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Germany articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
The assessment system used by WikiProject Germany is fairly orthodox, with two scales. The first evaluates articles, while the other assesses lists. The progression of these articles through this system is described further in the figure below.
Class | Criteria | Assessment process | Example | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
FA | The article meets all the
featured article criteria.
|
SMS Kaiser ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
FL | The list meets all the
featured list criteria.
|
List of German World War II jet aces ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
A | The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from this WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. | German cruiser Prinz Eugen ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
GA | The article meets all of the
good article criteria.
|
Lichtenstein Castle (Württemberg) ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
B | The article meets all of the
B-Class criteria.
|
Battle of Halle ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
C | The article meets B1 or B2 as well as B3 and B4 and B5 of the
B-Class criteria.
|
Munich ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
Start | The article meets the Start-Class criteria.
|
7.62mm UKM ( as of 20 April 2017) | |||
Stub | The article meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Ernst Bach ( as of 20 April 2017) |
Except for books and a few vital project-related pages, most non-article classes don't need a specific importance parameter.
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{ WikiProject Germany}} project banner on its talk page:
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
Label | Criteria | Examples |
---|---|---|
Top | Core topics about Germany. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Germany article, vital for the understanding of Germany or extremely notable to people outside of Germany. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Biographies should be limited to the top one or two Germans in a particular field or persons of the greatest historical importance | Economy of Germany, Konrad Adenauer, Hamburg, Johann Sebastian Bach, Cologne Cathedral |
High | Topics that are very notable within Germany, and well-known outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia. This includes cities with a population of more than 100,000 | Erfurt, Bertolt Brecht, Federal Court of Justice of Germany, Heinrich Brüning |
Mid | Topics that are reasonably notable on a national level within Germany without necessarily being famous or very notable internationally, including smaller towns | Wolfgang Borchert, Lindau, Elisabeth Church (Marburg), Luise Kahler |
Low | Topics of mostly local interest or those that are only included for complete coverage or as examples of a higher-level topic; peripheral or trivial topics or topics that have only a limited connection to Germany | Forest swastika, Ostkreuz, Deutschhaus Mainz, Werner Teske, German 100th Light Infantry Division |
WikiProject pertains to the people, places, history, and culture of Germany, and cities, towns, and municipalities check off all of those boxes. All cities/municipalities/districts are to be marked as Mid Importance, and villages within them Low Importance.
This section describes the processes utilized by WikiProject Germany to assess the quality of its articles.
The individual review process is used for all assessment activity up to B-Class articles. Any editor may assess an article or list and assign assessment according to the listed criteria by themselves.
An article's author may use this process to assign assessment themselves. However, the final assessment for B-Class and beyond is typically left in the hands of an independent editor for review. Requests for independent review can be made at the assessment request page.
The peer review process is not used to evaluate an article for a particular assessment level directly; rather, it is a forum where article authors can solicit ideas for further improvements. Peer review is most often requested when an article is at the C-Class or B-Class level; articles at lower levels are typically so incomplete that a meaningful review is impossible, while articles at higher levels go through more formal review processes.
The good article nomination process is an independent review mechanism through which an article receives a "good article" quality rating. The process involves a detailed review of the article by an independent examiner, who determines whether the article meets the good article criteria.
Full instructions for requesting a good article review are provided on the good article review page.
The featured article candidacy and featured list candidacy processes are an independent, Wikipedia-wide quality assessment mechanism; these processes are the only way an article can receive a "featured" quality rating. The process involves a comprehensive review of the article by multiple independent examiners, all of whom must agree that the article meets the featured article or list criteria.
Full instructions for submitting a featured article or list candidacy are provided on the corresponding candidacy page. Editors are advised to carefully review the submission instructions; failing to follow them correctly may cause the submission to be rejected.
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{ WikiProject Germany}} project banner on its talk page:
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 Germany articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Germany articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Germany articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Germany articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Germany articles) | C | |

Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Germany articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Germany articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Germany 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 Germany articles) | Category | |
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Germany articles) | Disambig | |
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Germany articles) | Draft | |
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class Germany articles) | File | |
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Germany articles) | Portal | |

Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class Germany articles) | Redirect | |
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Germany articles) | Template | |
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Germany articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Germany articles) | ??? |
Editors may self-assess against the five B-class criteria up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting.
Please help to clear any backlogs of unassessed articles in the following categories:
In true stereotypical German fashion, it's time for graphs and numbers.
