Welcome to the assessment department of the Hip hop WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's hip hop 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 {{WikiProject Hip hop}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate subcategories of Category:Hip hop articles by quality and Category:Hip hop 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 Hip hop 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

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Hip hop}} 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 Hip hop articles)   FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Hip hop articles)   A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Hip hop articles)   GA

C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Hip hop articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Hip hop articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Hip hop articles) Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Hip hop articles)   FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Hip hop 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 Hip hop articles) Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Hip hop articles) Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Hip hop articles) Draft

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

Importance assessment

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Hip hop}} project banner on its talk page:

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Hip hop articles)  High 
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Hip hop articles)  Mid 
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Hip hop articles)  Low 
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Hip hop articles)  NA

  1. Junior M.A.F.I.A. (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) — Don't know when this was last assessed and I didn't make significant edits, but I feel this needs a reassessment with regard to importance - I feel like this fits better as "medium" importance, but I am not very familiar with the assessment process. -KaJunl (talk) 22:26, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  2. They Hate Change (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – Recently created article. Currently unassessed, requesting initial assessment. ModernDayTrilobite (talkcontribs) 13:44, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
