This is the WikiProject Louisville Assessment department, which focuses on 1) assessing the quality of, and 2) assigning project importance to, Wikipedia's Louisville area-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.
As of 18 August 2024, there are 7,035 articles within the scope of WikiProject Louisville, of which 17 are featured and 69 are good articles. This makes up 0.1% of the articles on Wikipedia, 0.15% of all featured articles and lists, and 0.17% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etc., there are 22,688 pages in the project.
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in our project banner:{{WikiProject United States|class=|Louisville=yes|Louisville-importance=}}
When placed on an article's talk page, this causes the article to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Louisville articles by quality and Category:Louisville articles by importance, whether you do an assessment or not.
Note: Sometimes an article will already have {{WikiProject United States}} on its talk page to accommodate other projects. In that case, simply add the following parameters to it:
|Louisville=yes|Louisville-importance=
Frequently asked questions
[edit]- How can I get my article rated?
- As a participant in WikiProject Louisville's efforts, listed or not, you can do it yourself. Follow the above directions for placing the project banner on its talk page and optionally, assess—if you choose not to assess, the article will automatically be listed under Category:Unassessed Louisville articles and someone involved in the project will eventually attend to its assessment. If you are unsure how to assess and want speedier assistance, or it is an article you changed since its last assessment and want it to be reassessed by somebody else, you may list it in the requesting an assessment section below.
- Who can assess articles?
- Any participant in WikiProject Louisville, listed or not, is free to add or change the rating of an article, but please follow the guidelines.
- 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.
- Where can I get more comments about my article?
- You may ask any listed participant of the project their opinion, or make such a request on our project's talk page. You may also list it for a peer review (note: this is operated outside our project).
- What if I don't agree with a rating?
- Request a reassessment for the article as described above. Alternately, you can ask any listed participant of the project to rate the article again. Also, don't forget that you can reassess the article yourself.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), 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 our project's talk page.

Quality scale
[edit]Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() |
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. | Jennifer Lawrence |
![]() |
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 Louisville Colonels managers |
![]() |
Pictures that have attained featured picture status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. More detailed criteria
A featured picture:
|
The page contains a featured image, sound clip or other media-related content. | Make sure that the file is properly licensed and credited. | ![]() |
![]() |
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. | George Rogers Clark or Old Louisville |
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. | Muhammad Ali or Louisville, Kentucky |
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. | Kentucky Derby or Louisville Cardinals |
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. | Actors Theatre of Louisville or Louisville Male High School |
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. | Floyds Knobs, Indiana or Southern Exposition |
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 mayors of Louisville, Kentucky |
Category | Any category falls under this class. | Categories are mainly used to group together articles within a particular subject area. | Large categories may need to be split into one or more subcategories. Be wary of articles that have been miscategorized. | Category:Buildings and structures in New Albany, Indiana |
Disambig | Any disambiguation page falls under this class. | The page serves to distinguish multiple articles that share the same (or similar) title. | Additions should be made as new articles of that name are created. Pay close attention to the proper naming of such pages, as they often do not need "(disambiguation)" appended to the title. | Louisville Colonels (disambiguation) |
File | Any page in the file namespace falls under this class. | The page contains an image, a sound clip or other media-related content. | Make sure that the file is properly licensed and credited. | ![]() |
Project | All WikiProject-related pages fall under this class. | Project pages are intended to aid editors in article development. | Develop these pages into collaborative resources that are useful for improving articles within the project. | WP:WikiProject Louisville |
Redirect | Any redirect falls under this class. | The page redirects to another article with a similar name, related topic or that has been merged with the original article at this location. | Editor involvement is essential to ensure that articles are not mis-classified as redirects, and that redirects are not mis-classified as articles. | Louisville |
Template | Any template falls under this class. The most common types of templates include infoboxes and navboxes. | Different types of templates serve different purposes. Infoboxes provide easy access to key pieces of information about the subject. Navboxes are for the purpose of grouping together related subjects into an easily accessible format, to assist the user in navigating between articles. | Infoboxes are typically placed at the upper right of an article, while navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page. Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information. | Template:Louisville City FC |
Importance assignment
[edit]An article's importance assignment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject United States}} project banner on its talk page:
- {{WikiProject United States| ... | Louisville-importance=??? | ...}}
Top |
High |
Mid |
Low |
??? |
The following values may be used for importance assignments:
- Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Louisville articles
- High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Louisville articles
- Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Louisville articles
- Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Louisville articles
Importance scale
[edit]Label | Criteria | Examples |
---|---|---|
Top | Core topics about Louisville. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Louisville article, vital for the understanding of Louisville or extremely notable to people outside of Louisville. This category should stay limited to approximately 100 members. Biographies should be limited to the top one or two Louisvillians in a particular field or persons of the greatest historical importance. | History of Louisville, Kentucky or Muhammad Ali |
High | Topics that are very notable within Louisville, and well-known outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia. | Jeffersontown, Kentucky or Thunder Over Louisville |
Mid | Topics that are reasonably notable on a local level within Louisville without necessarily being famous or very notable outside of Louisville. | Colonial Gardens or Shawnee Park |
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 Louisville. | Bacon's or Jim Porter (giant) |
Requesting an assessment or re-assessment
[edit]To submit an article for assessment or inclusion in WikiProject Louisville, please add it to the request list.
Articles may be submitted or re-submitted at any time. If you are interested in more extensive comments on an article, please use Wikipedia's peer review department instead.

[edit]- ^ For example, this image of the Battle of Normandy is grainy, but very few pictures of that event exist. However, where quite a number of pictures exist, for instance, the moon landing, FPC attempts to select the best of the ones produced.
- ^ An image has more encyclopedic value (often abbreviated to "EV" or "enc" in discussions) if it contributes strongly to a single article, rather than contributing weakly to many. Adding an image to numerous articles to gain EV is counterproductive and may antagonize both FPC reviewers and article editors.
