Wikipiidiya:Content assessment

Tɛmpileti:Notice The following system is used by the Dagbani Wikipedia community for assessing how close we are to a distribution-quality article on a particular topic. The system is based on a letter scheme which reflects principally how factually complete the article is, though language quality and layout are also factors. A-Class through E-Class, representing the highest quality and lowest quality respectively.

A-Class
B-Class
C-Class
D-Class
E-Class

Once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered "complete", although edits will continue to be made. It is vital that editors not take these assessments of their contributions personally. It is understood that we each have our own opinions of the priorities of the objective criteria for a perfect article. Generally however, an active engagement on this project will develop a consensus. If you contribute a lot of content to an article, you may request an independent assessment.


Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions	Example
A-Class	An A-Class article exemplifies our very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. It has the following attributes. It is: well-written: its prose is engaging and of a professional standard; comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context; well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature; neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; and stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except where new information becomes available; It follows the style guidelines, including the provision of: a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections; appropriate structure: a substantial but not overwhelming system of hierarchical section headings; and consistent citations: claims are verifiable against high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate; Media. It has images and other media, where appropriate, with succinct captions and acceptable copyright status. Length. It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail.	Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information.	No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available.
B-Class	The article is mostly complete and without major problems but requires some further work to reach A-Class standards.	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.
C-Class	The article is well organized and essentially complete but may be missing an infobox, some media, or the appropriate category.	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. Consider adding Infobox Image from Wikimedia Commons Categories The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical.	[[\|Wp/dag/Alhassan Wayo Seini\|Alhassan Wayo Seini]]
D-Class	An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas. The quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and frequently, the referencing is inadequate. The article should satisfy fundamental content policies, such as Neutral point of view (NPOV) Verifiability (V) No original research (NOR)	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.	[[\|Wp/dag/Ghana Education service (GES)\|Ghana Education Service (GES)]]
E-Class	A very basic description of the topic. Can be heavy on text, but may also have significant content issues. More detailed criteria The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article. It is usually very short; but, if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible, an article of any length falls into this category. Although E-Class articles are the lowest class of the normal classes, they are adequate enough to be an accepted article, though they do have risks of being dropped from being an article altogether.	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 an E-Class article to step up to a D-Class article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant.
