Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject on Football, which focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Association football related articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 programme.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Football}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Football articles by quality and Category:Football articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
FAQ
edit- See also the general assessment FAQ.
- 1. What is the purpose of the article ratings?
- The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized by the Wikipedia 1.0 program to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. Please note, however, that these ratings are primarily intended for the internal use of the project, and do not necessarily imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
- 2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject?
- Just add {{WikiProject Football}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
- 3. Someone put a {{WikiProject Football}} 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 football 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 and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the instructions below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page.
- 6. Can I request that someone else rate an article?
- Of course; to do so, please list it in the 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?
- People at Wikipedia:Peer Review can conduct a more thorough examination of articles; please submit it for review there, or ask for comments on the main project discussion page.
- 9. 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.
- 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 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 main project discussion page.
Instructions
editQuality assessment
editAn article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Football}} project banner on its talk page: {{WikiProject Football|class=???}}
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class football articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class football articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class football articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class football articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class football articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class football articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class football articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class football articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class football articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class football articles) | Category | |
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class football articles) | Disambig | |
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class football articles) | Draft | |
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class football articles) | File | |

NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class football articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed football articles) | ??? |
Importance assessment
editAn article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Football}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance football articles) | Top | |
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance football articles) | High | |
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance football articles) | Mid | |
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance football articles) | Low | |
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance football articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance football articles) | ??? |
Quality scale
editClass | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
FA | The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:
A featured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting the policies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
|
Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Belgium national football team (as of December 2016) |
FL | The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:
|
Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | List of Ipswich Town F.C. statistics and records (as of February 2008) |
A | The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described in Wikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as a featured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g. WikiProject Military history). |
Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. | Battle of Nam River (as of June 2014) |
GA | The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria
A good article is:
|
Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Abby Wambach (as of January 2014) |
B | The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. More detailed criteria
|
Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. | Gareth Bale (as of April 2014) |
C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
|
Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. | Women's association football (as of November 2013) |
Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
|
Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. | Steven Kinniburgh (as of March 2012) |
Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Ji Xiang (as of January 2012) |
List | Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | List of A.S. Roma players (as of February 2008) |
Importance scale
editLabel | Base criteria | Football-related criteria | Examples |
Top | Article is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for articles that have achieved international notability within its subject or field. | Articles strictly related to the game: rules of the game, positions, confederations, etc. | Association football Offside (football) UEFA |
High | Article is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent. | Teams with international notability. Top-level leagues, awards and competitions. Top-rated world-class players and managers. | AFC Ajax Cristiano Ronaldo UEFA Champions League |
Mid | Article is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area. | Teams with nationwide notability. Players or managers that have participated at international level or in a top-level league. Mid-level leagues. | A.S. Roma Swiss Super League Gareth Barry |
Low | Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article. | Any other player, manager or team. Football-related lists, season articles. | Leek Town F.C. Roberto Biffi List of Arsenal F.C. players |
Statistics
editCurrent status

Done @CoolieCoolster: given the (probable) small size of source info, I suspect this is substantial coverage. Desperately needs some inline references though. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Done @Matt918: looking better, now C class. It needs quit a few inline refs and will be then B class. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:44, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Done @LTFC 95: agree - now C class - write a nice lead summarising the article and can be a B class I think. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:45, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
Done @LampGenie01: It is already assessed, correctly, as list-class. If you want detailed comments, may I suggest Wikipedia:Peer review. Thanks, C679 19:54, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
