Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Films! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Film 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 {{Film}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Film articles by quality, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

[edit] Frequently asked questions

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 Film WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.
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.

[edit] Instructions

An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{Film}} project banner on its talk page:

{{Film
|class=
|importance=
}}

[edit] Quality scale

This category contains film articles graded according to the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale. If you would like to help grade them, please visit Category:Unassessed film articles.

Do not put items in this category. Put them in the appropriate category by adding or editing the film's {{Film}} Talk page tag, as follows:

{{Film|class=FA}}
{{Film|class=A}}
{{Film|class=GA}}
{{Film|class=B}}
{{Film|class=Start}}
{{Film|class=Stub}}
{{Film|class=NA}}
{{Film|class=List}}
{{Film|class=Cat}}
{{Film|class=Template}}
{{Film|class=Disambig}}

Exclusive class for this project only are:

{{Film|class=Future}} - For Future films

Note: You should not assign any article GA, A, or FA grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through these official grading channels:

These labels refer to this grading scheme:

**Article progress grading scheme**
Label	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editor's experience	Example
FA {{FA-Class}}	Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles.	Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information.	No further editing necessary, unless new published information has come to light.	Jaws (film) (as of October 2006)
A {{A-Class}}	The article has passed through an A-class review, and surpasses good article criteria but is not yet ready for featured article. Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" (peer-reviewed where appropriate) literature rather than websites. Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard.	Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points.	Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage.	The Lord of the Rings film trilogy (as of Oct 2006)
GA {{GA-Class}}	The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise good. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but being a Good article is not a requirement for A-Class.	Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job.	Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time.	The Muppets' Wizard of Oz (as of April 2008)
B {{B-Class}}	Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, NPOV or NOR. With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles.	Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work.	Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with.	Back to the Future (as of Oct 2006)
Start {{Start-Class}}	The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element such as a standard infobox. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following: a particularly useful picture or graphic multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article	Useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information. The article clearly needs to be expanded.	Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage.	Beethoven (film) (as of Sep 2006)
Stub {{Stub-Class}}	The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible.	Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition.	Any editing or additional material can be helpful.	A Bullet for the General (as of Sep 2006)
List {{List-Class}}	This page is a list.			Lists of films (as of Oct 2006)
NA {{NA-Class}}	The page is not an article and does not require a rating.			WP:FILMS
Category {{Cat-Class}}	This page is a category related to WikiProject Films.			Category:Film stubs
Template {{Template-Class}}	This page is a template related to WikiProject Films.			{{Film}}
Disambig {{Disambig-Class}}	This page is a disambiguation page related to WikiProject Films.			London (film) (as of Oct 2006)
WikiProject Film Related Class
Future {{Future-Class}}	The article exists of a future film. Contents of these articles can change rapidly and could be outright deleted per WP:NFF.	These articles should get attention closer to their supposed release date.	See the Future films department	Day Zero (as of July 2006)

This category is self-reference (see Avoid self-references).

[edit] Priority scale

Priority must be regarded as a relative term. If priority values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project and to the work groups the Film falls under. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority 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).

These film related articles have been rated on the importance scale.

[edit] Requests for assessment

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. (Note that this is not required; any editor may assess or re-assess an article on their own, if acting in good faith.)

If you assess an article, please strike it off so that other editors will not waste time going there too. Comments are not mandatory and any should be left at the article's talk page; the list below will be wiped periodically.

Add new requests above this line

If you are interested in more extensive comments on an article, please list it for peer review instead.
