| + | OWASP has created a system to review projects and the project's releases to determine the quality level achieved. The initial creation of an assessment criteria was created for the OWASP Summer of Code 2008. Though created to benchmark the quality of SoC 2008 projects, it was also applied to new projects created outside the SoC 2008 process. As work began to create the Season of Code 2009 (SoC 2009), the lessons learned by using the first Assessment Criteria were used as input to a new version. The original Assessment Criteria - now called version 1 - was the basis for this new methodology. As a result of reviewing the use of the Assessment Criteria v1 (AC v1), a new assessment criteria was developed that split the review process into projects and releases. Starting with the SoC 2009, AC v2 will be the assessment criteria used to judge the quality of all SoC and new projects. |

| | + | The current assessment criteria is the [[Assessment Criteria v2.0]] |
| | | | |
| − | This '''assessment area''' focuses on assessing the quality of OWASP Tools and Documentation (Projects). The resulting ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

| − | == FAQ ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | ; 1. What is the purpose of the article ratings? : The rating system allows OWASP to monitor the quality of Projects in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.
| |
| − | ; 2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add {{tl|WPMILHIST}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
| |
| − | ; 3. Someone put a {{tl|WPMILHIST}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do? : Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the talk page of this department (or directly with the person who tagged the article).
| |
| − | ; 4. Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Military history WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.
| |
| − | ; 5. How do I rate an article? : Check the [[#Quality scale|quality scale]] and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the [[#Assessment instructions|instructions]] below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the [[#Quality scale|assessment scale]].
| |
| − | ; 6. Can I request that someone else rate an article? : Of course; to do so, please list it in the [[#Requests for assessment|section for assessment requests]] below.
| |
| − | ; 7. 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.
| |
| − | ; 8. Where can I get more comments about an article? : The [[WP:MHR|review department]] can conduct more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Review#Peer review|peer review]] there.
| |
| − | ; 9. What if I don't agree with a rating? : You can list it in the [[#Requests for assessment|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. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the [[#Quality scale|assessment scale]].
| |
| − | ; 10. Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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!
| |
| − | ; 11. What about lists? : Lists are assessed using the same scale as other articles; however, they progress towards featured list rather than featured article status.
| |
| − | ; 12. What if I have a question not listed here? : If your question concerns the article assessment process specifically, please refer to the discussion page for this department; for any other issues, you can go to the [[WT:MILHIST|main project discussion page]], or contact the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history#Coordinators|project coordinators]] directly.

| − | == Assessment instructions ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | An article's assessment is generated from the ''class'' parameter in the {{tl|WPMILHIST}} project banner on its talk page (see the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Project banner|project banner instructions]] for more details on the exact syntax):
| |
| − | | |
| − | ; <nowiki>{{WPMILHIST| ... | class=??? | ...}}</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following values may be used:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * '''FA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:FA-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''A''' (adds articles to [[:Category:A-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''GA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:GA-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''B''' (adds articles to [[:Category:B-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''Start''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Start-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''Stub''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Stub-Class military history articles]])
| |
| − | * '''DAB''' (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to [[:Category:Military history disambiguation pages]])
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that '''lists are assessed using the same scale as other articles'''; however, they progress towards [[WP:FL|featured list]] rather than featured article status.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pages outside the main namespace (such as [[:Category:Military history portal pages|portals]], [[:Category:Military history image pages|images]], [[:Category:Military history category pages|categories]], and [[:Category:Military history user pages|user pages]]) are automatically assigned a class of "NA", indicating that they lie outside the assessment scheme.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in [[:Category:Unassessed military history articles]]. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
