[edit] Department

Wikipedia:WikiProject Macau/Assessment - the assessment department.

An article rating and assessment scheme has been implemented for Macau-related articles, which is monitored and maintained by WikiProject Macau. In this scheme, all Macau-related articles may be assigned a particular rating which indicates an assessment of their class. The primary purpose of this rating and assessment scheme is to provide editors with a sub-categorised survey of the current status of Macau-related articles, which can then be used to prioritise the overall workload and highlight articles needing improvements at various stages.

[edit] Guidelines

Please feel free to announce any new Macau-related articles here (newer articles at the top). Before doing so, please check that they comply with the following guidelines:

• The articles must be notable.
• Statements and facts must be backed up by adequate citations and references.
• Where possible, please create articles that are at least "Start Class". Instead of creating a new stub article (52% of total articles now. See statistics below), why not consider expanding an existing one?
• Do not create a listing page if more than half of the articles that will be in the list have not been written yet.

Sticking to these guidelines will help to minimise the unnecessary listing of articles for deletion by other editors. If you need help or would like to seek the collaboration of experienced editors on an article, do post a message at our talk page.

[edit] Did You Know?

Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact, please consider nominating the article to appear on Wikipedia Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know (DYK) suggestions. However, there is a 5 day time frame for DYK nominations. Also consider adding it to the Macau-related topics list here. To protect the hard efforts of the contributors, please add these articles to your watchlist to help fight against vandalism.

Please help ensure that these articles remain of the highest possible quality.
