[edit] To do

• Improve the articles within the project. Take a look in the stub, start and B-class lists and find a favourite subject. Pay attention to it and get it up to a higher level

• Find and label articles within the scope of this project using template:WikiProject_Netherlands (syntax {{WikiProject_Netherlands|Class=}} or the shortcut {{WPNL|class=}}). Fill in Class label based on quality given on page (or assess the article using the assessment criteria. Note that FA and GA are only given by Wikipedia. All other classes are assigned by the projects themselves. Leaving out the class label will automatically add the article to the unassessed list

• Assess the unassessed articles using the generically adopted assessment criteria.

[edit] Assessment

The Assessment department focusses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Netherlands related articles.
This will aid us in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Everyone can help in assessing articles.

Assessing an article in easy steps

• Determine which article you want to assess. This maybe any Netherlands article you notice, an unassessed article or an article with a specific assessment request. Please do not assess articles that you yourself have been a major editor on, as it is likely you will be biased.
• Have a thorough look at the article and relate it to the criteria from the grading scheme to determine which class to assign.
  • Stub, Start, and B class assessments can be made by every editor
    
  • A class assessment maybe awarded after formal review within this project
    
  • Good Article (GA) and Featured Article (FA) assessments require formal review procedures in the larger Wikipedia community (outside the project).
• Edit the talk page of the article add the "|class=???" section within the brackets of the Netherlands template: {{WikiProject Netherlands|class=??? (other tags may exist like this "|xxxx|yyyy")}}
  • Instead of the "???" fill in your assessment (Stub, Start, or B (or in special cases A, GA, or FA).
  • Write a brief edit summary.

[edit] New article checks

A bot is skimming new articles and if it suspects they are about the Netherlands these are added to the list of potential articles about the Netherlands.

As a bot is not very good at making the intricate decision whether the article is truly within the scope of the project, an editor has to check on these and add the tag (the talk page of) the article with {{WikiProject_Netherlands|Class=}} if the article is indeed within the project.

[edit] Requested Articles

If you think certain articles about the Netherlands are important but not yet present on Wikipedia, you can add these to the list of requested articles.

If you want to help develop the Netherlands project, please go to the list of requested articles and see whether you can make a first draft of one of these articles.

[edit] Nominations for deletion and page moves

Important: If you're thinking about nominating an article for deletion (only articles, not templates or categories), please consider the following two alternative options:

• Does the article meet the criteria for speedy deletion? If so, just tag it with one of the speedy deletion tags and an administrator will delete it (as long as they agree).
• Is the deletion likely to be uncontested? If so then add a proposed deletion tag to it instead; if uncontested after five days, the article will be automatically deleted.

Only if you think the deletion will be contested and debated is it necessary to go through AfD.

When listing a deletion nomination here, please copy-paste the relevant notice to the deletion discussion: *{{subst:delsort|Netherlands}}
