Welcome to the assessment department of the France WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's France related 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 France}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:France articles by quality and Category:France articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
edit- How can I get my article rated?
- Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
- Who can assess articles?
- Any member of the France WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
- 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.
- 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.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are, 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!
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.
Instructions
editQuality assessments
editAn article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject France}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
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 France articles) | FA | |
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class France articles) | A | |
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class France articles) | GA | |
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class France articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class France articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class France articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class France articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class France articles) | FL | |
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class France articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.
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. | Cleopatra (as of June 2018) |
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 dates predicted for apocalyptic events (as of May 2018) |
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. | Discovery of the neutron (as of April 2019) |
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. | Psychology (as of January 2024) |
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. | Wing (as of June 2018) |
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. | Ball (as of September 2014) |
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. | Lineage (anthropology) (as of December 2014) |
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 literary movements |
Importance assessment
editAn article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject France}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject France| ... | importance=??? | ...}}
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance France articles
- High - adds articles to Category:High-importance France articles
- Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance France articles
- Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance France articles
- Unknown - adds articles to Category:Unknown-importance France articles
Importance scale
editLabel | Criteria | Examples |
---|---|---|
Top | Core topics about France. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main France article, vital for the understanding of France or extremely notable to people outside of France. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Biographies should be limited to the top one or two French people in a particular field or persons of the greatest historical importance | Napoleon Bonaparte, Eiffel Tower |
High | Topics that are very notable within France, and well-known outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia. This includes cities with a population of more than 100,000 | Causes of the French Revolution, Marie Curie, Cannes |
Mid | Topics that are reasonably notable on a national level within France without necessarily being famous or very notable internationally, including smaller towns | Battle of Borodino, Around the World in Eighty Days |
Low | Topics of mostly local interest or those that are only included for complete coverage or as examples of a higher-level topic; peripheral or trivial topics or topics that have only a limited connection to France | 1974 French Grand Prix, 50 Reasons to Hate the French |

Feel like this should be moved to start class, C is a stretch. WolvesS (talk) 09:50, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Protests against Emmanuel Macron hopefully going to create one for Hollande soon, hoping this can be considered a start class article.WolvesS (talk) 12:08, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
- Augustin-Jean Fresnel: Since early December 2017, this article has been completely rewritten and restructured, massively expanded, and exhaustively checked against a long list of sources. Importance: The topic would certainly be "expected to be included in any print encyclopedia" (several of which are cited), and I submit that the Fresnel lens (especially in lighthouses) and Fresnel's reconstruction of physical optics are "well-known outside of" France. As to whether the topic is "very notable within France", I know of no Frenchman, other than Louis Pasteur, who might have saved more lives. — Gavin R Putland (talk) 10:05, 20 January 2018 (UTC).

- Gaëtan Dussausaye - article has been created on english wikipedia based off the french wikipedia article, imo this is a start article
- Madame de Brinvilliers - expanded heavily on the marquise-- wrote about her early life, trial, execution etc Nestorthemidwaycat (talk) 04:55, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

- Paul Colin - Expanded multiple content about Paul colin, requesting a reassessment (IIVYLII) (talk) 14:34, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Les Espaces d'Abraxas - Expanded the content by an extra 2000 words. Lead still needs some work, also trying to find photos I can use, as photos of the building are not in the Creative Commons due to French law. Greenroof1234 (talk) 10:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mont Buet - Wrote a full entry on Mont Buet, focusing on the history of the first ascents and scientific expeditions. There are a few mistakes on the French page which need to be corrected (such as the date of the first ascent, the altitude etc.). Hist Facts (talk) 13:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
- Upgraded to B class. Great work! Regards, Comte0 (talk) 10:14, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Jansenism - This is a mid-importance article for the history of France. About 75% of the article is content I translated, or images I copied over from the corresponding French article. I have also recently added a few more sources in response to some requests for citations. I would be interested to see an assessment given this content, thanks!
