Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the assessment department of the Actors and Filmmakers WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's actor and filmmaker 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.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WPBiography}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Biography (actors and filmmakers) articles by quality and Category:Biography (actors and filmmakers) articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

[edit]
How can I get my article rated?
Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
Who can assess articles?
Any member of the Actors and Filmmakers WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
What if I don't agree with a rating?
You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Quality assessments

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WPBiography}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

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 biography (actors and filmmakers) articles)  FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles)  GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles) B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles) Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) articles)  FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) 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 biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Draft
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class biography (actors and filmmakers) pages) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed biography (actors and filmmakers) articles) ???

After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

Priority assessment

[edit]

An article's priority assessment is generated from the filmbio-priority parameter in the {{WPBiography}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WPBiography| ... | filmbio-work-group=yes | filmbio-priority=??? | ...}}
Top
High
Mid
Low
???

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

Priority scale

[edit]
Label Criteria Examples
Top Core topics about actors and filmmakers. Generally, these are people who are extremely notable to the common person. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Bette Davis
Woody Allen
High Actors and filmmakers who are well known in the film industry, to film buffs, and others. These people can reasonably be expected to be included in any print encyclopedia. Reese Witherspoon
Ang Lee
Mid Actors and filmmakers that are reasonably notable on a national level within the actors and filmmakers field without necessarily being famous or very notable elsewhere. Alec Baldwin
Danny Boyle
Low Actors and filmmakers of little interest to non-film buffs and the film industry. Tor Johnson

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.

  • Cyrus Ahanchian Please assess this new article. His bio was deleted in 2010 for 'lack of notability', just one month after he won a landmark court case for copyrights on National Lampoon's TV: The Movie. IMO his bio should not have been deleted, as there was and still is clear evidence of notability, particularly in reliable sources about the court case. New case laws also resulted from the court case, which are particularly important to the film making industry. Amirah talk 10:39, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kiff VandenHeuvel - Newly created article as the first edit by a new account and then expanded upon by an SPA IP editor. Article was prodded, but that was removed. Would somebody from FILMBIO take a look at this and see if this person satisfies WP:NACTOR? At first glance, it does seem iffy and I have not been able to find any real significant coverage through googling, so it sort of seems like WP:TOOSOON. Perhaps someone else might have better luck. Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:11, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
