Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems/Wikipedia 1.0/Assessment
The table below is part of a sub-project to assess Systems articles for their quality and importance/priority, and to classify them broadly by field. It summarizes the criteria for assessing importance and quality, and lists the fields covered by the programme. More detailed criteria for determining article quality are given by the Systems grading scheme. There are also further guidelines for assessing the priority or importance level of Systems articles.
These ratings are intended to help the project track its progress, identify weak spots in its coverage, and highlight articles which could become Good Articles or Featured articles. They also link with the Wikipedia 1.0 Project to produce a CD-ROM with the best of Wikipedia, and similar ratings are used by over 100 WikiProjects.
Further information about the Systems assessment programme can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Systems/Wikipedia 1.0.

Articles are assessed by placing the {{WikiProject Systems}} template on the article's talk page, using the importance and class parameters to specify the priority/importance and the quality of the article respectively. It is useful to assign the article to a subject area, using the field parameter; a list of recognized field names is given above.
