Assessment

The assessment team focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Java 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 Java}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

Note: although some overlapping of projects is unavoidable for some topics, please be prudent with this category: Category:Articles with example Java code; although it IS included in the categorytree of Java, the content of some articles in it can be marginally Java-related and therefore NOT automatically part of this project.

There is no Quality assessment managed by this project, only Importance assessment. Quality Assessment, even when done through this project, is managed through the Computing parent project. Here is a typical way of assessing an article (in its talk page please):

{{wpbs||1=

{{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|auto=yes|Java=yes}}
{{WikiProject Java|importance=Mid}}

}}
{{to_do}}

This syntax is not a done deal yet. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Java/Things you can do for an ongoing discussion of this issue.

Importance scale

Label Articles
Top Operating systems, languages, companies, important websites, or anything that forms the basis of all information
High Popular applications, architectures, or anything that covers a general area of knowledge
Mid Core components of an operating system, or anything that fills in more specific information of certain areas
Low Optional add-ons that are not fairly important, or anything that is an obscure piece of trivia
NA Not available yet (none)

Importance-rating statistics are sort of 'compiled' for us by the WP1.0 team (See Category:Java_articles_by_importance):

 Top  High  Mid  Low  NA  ??? 
  6    29    102    728    487    7  

Assessment statistics

We need to discuss WPBanner hooks with the Computing/Computer science projects in order to get specific Quality-rating statistics for Java articles. (see our first result here!)
Meanwhile, here is another example matrix from the Software project:


Assessment requests

If you have encountered an article that you believe has been sufficiently improved, please list it here and a reviewer will reassess the article and leave comments.
