Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Rocketry! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Rocketry 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. To assess an article, using the rating scheme described below, fill in the parameters on the {{WikiProject Rocketry}} banner on the article's talk page:

{{WikiProject Rocketry |class= |importance= }}

Instructions edit

Quality scale edit

The scale for assessments is defined at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. Articles are divided into the following categories.

Importance scale edit

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to rocketry students.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.

Topics edit

Topic scale edit

This is a unique assessment scale used in this WikiProject. It attempts to categorise articles related to rocketry by topics. Although the possible topics are four, an article can be categorised into other topics as well.

Topic Criteria Example
Biography Any biography articles. Robert H. Goddard
Rocket Any articles that describe a rocket or a family of rockets. Falcon 9
Rocket engine Any articles that describe a rocket engine. Rocketdyne F-1
Spaceport Any articles that describe a spaceport, launch site, launch pad, etc. Baikonur Cosmodrome

Requesting an assessment edit

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below. Please note that an importance rating may not be given in some cases if the reviewer is unfamiliar with the subject.

If you assess an article, please strike it off using <s>Strike-through text</s> so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Thanks!

  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.
