New Zealand Project‑class | |||||||

The table at the top of the Instructions section doesn't seem to change dynamically. How often is it regenerated? THere should probably be a note as to frequency and last accurate date. dramatic 19:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Are there more specific guidelines available than those on the project page? I'm particularly interested in assessing the importance of geographical articles.
My suggestion is that places with less than 1,000 people have a default assessment of low class; those with 1,000-10,000 have medium class; those of 10,000-100,000 have high class, and those over 100,000 people have top class. Special events or considerations may bump an article up a class; Queenstown, New Zealand is more important than its population may suggest, although since it just makes it over the 10,000 mark maybe high class is correct. Aramoana has a tiny population, but the 1990 massacre makes it medium class. Waitangi, Northland also has a tiny population, but it was the site of a very major historical event, and it is a focus of the news once a year on Waitangi Day. It might go up two classes, to high class.
Does this make any sense? Have any other wikiprojects spelled out the assessment criteria like this?- gadfium 07:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Based on the 2008 traffic analysis, the cutoffs would be:
2008 hits | Importance |
---|---|
> 68,000 | Top |
> 16,000 | High |
> 3,000 | Mid |
remainder | Low |

Greetings - having gone from a messy wreck article last night noticed a lot of cats are not tagged - went for a foray and am a bit concerned - is it class=cat or class=NA for the NZ project? It would be good to get an answer from those who do it - cheers Satu Suro 04:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
As was mentioned at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New Zealand I have a list of nearly 11k articles ready to be tagged with {{ WikiProject New Zealand}}. The template has been updated to included the auto=yes option, and I plan to use this in conjunction with class=stub for all Category:New Zealand stubs articles.
I intend to automatically add an importance= rating based on the article traffic survey, based on:
Traffic index | Importance |
---|---|
<= 100 | Top |
<= 554 | High |
<= 3069 | Mid |
remainder ~14k | Low |

There are just over six and a half thousand unassessed articles (class wise). How about an assessment drive to get that number right down, awarding users for assessing x articles. I suggest basing it on the WikiProject Biography drive of 2008. Your thoughts? Adabow ( talk) 23:19, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
One year on and I'm still knocking off 5 - 20 articles a day. The no-importance stubs queue has just been eliminated (with quite a bit of splitting of articles about multiple rivers along the way) and I'm just catching up with the completely unassessed articles before moving to unclassed stubs. dramatic ( talk) 18:55, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
Gadfium made the useful comment that old assessment requests should be removed. Would a good way to go about it be to move that section to the talk page (or a separate sub-page altogether) and then set up auto-archiving? Schwede 66 06:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi all - I'm about to nominate the article South Dunedin, which I have contributed substantially to, for GA status. If anyone can improve the article, please, now would be a great time to do so! Grutness... wha? 04:31, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Does anybody know why New Zealand First Youth appears in the assessment table (Quality: other; Importance: ???)? It got deleted many months ago. Schwede 66 18:30, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
I am wondering what kinds of things can be dropped from the New Zealand project. I have uncertainty around sports people born overseas and spending a few seasons representing a local side in NZ, and people born in NZ and representing local sides overseas. Also non notable introduced species and notable people who retire to New Zealand. I have been very subjective on these points and would like a rule (any rule) to work with. ( Dushan Jugum ( talk) 19:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)).
I have been doing some New Zealand Project assessments and want to ramp up my activity, mostly on those that do not have an importance ranking yet. My general rule has been; if unsure, leave it in the project as I can always get them on a second run. I would like to remove the following from the project and want some feedback as I may have the wrong end of the stick entirely:
As for low, medium, high I have been trying to think outside my bubble. Am I on the right track. ( Dushan Jugum ( talk) 22:16, 30 January 2019 (UTC)).
See: Category:Defunct railway stations in New Zealand. Some of these will be notable in their own right ( Palmerston North Central railway station?), most however, seem a little slight. I am not about to launch a crusade, just trying to figure out the rules as they are really applied. Pigeon Bush railway station is a good example of where I imagine the stubs going one day with a lot of work, still not that notable. If I get no replies I will put it in the long list of strange things on Wikipedia and move on with my life. But, I would like to understand. ( Dushan Jugum ( talk) 06:58, 8 March 2019 (UTC)).
