Welcome to Tag & Assess 2014! Here's what it's all about. The India WikiProject has about 3,800 unassessed and unclassified articles, built up over the last few years. The time has come for comprehensive housekeeping and that's what this drive is all about. The drive will run from 14 November 2014 to 31 December 2014. The opening/closing time for both days is midnight/0001 hours of that day IST.
The purpose of holding this contest is three-fold:
to ensure that all the articles are within our scope;
to ensure that they are correctly tagged for task forces;
and to ensure that they are correctly assessed for class and importance.
Join up!. You join up by adding your name to the participants' list.
You then work through the range, tagging and assessing, following the instructions below.
At first, it will take about a minute to check each article but, with a bit of practice, people get much faster than that. If you have any queries about scope, class or task forces, please raise them on the talk page. Alternatively, leave a message on the talk page of one of the drive coordinators.
Note: Due to low number of participants, the drive finally finished on 15:35, 12 June 2015 (UTC).
Please add your name below, using the {{User0|"Your name"}} template. Then add a running total (tally) of articles worked on. This tally should include articles that you have evaluated and needed no changes, as well as those that you have re-assessed. It will be the basis for awards. For an example of how to set this up, check how the coordinator's name and tally is placed in the list below. It will be clearer when you click the "edit" link near this section.
Editors now joining, your assessments will count from the moment you added your name here.
VasuVR (talk) - initially adding WP India banner for articles of interest to Indian Wikipedian editors, which do not yet have the banner (these will be assessed in the process)
Read the article, assess it against the importance assessment criteria listed - Importance scale before assessment. If an expert opinion is required, please post in our talk page.
There are subprojects within a main project (ex. Kerala is part of India) and tagging to relevant projects would be highly appreciated.
A given article may be part of more than one subproject within India. Please try to tag against each of those subprojects.
While the quality rating across subprojects remains the same, the importance across the sub projects can be different. Ex. Guruvayoor as a place may be of high importance to Kerala sub-project, but may be of low-importance to India project and mid-importance to WikiProject Hinduism.
Tagging - posting the Wikiproject India assessment template in the talk page. A sample for Tamil Nadu politics related article, with a stub class and low importance is
Each article in the list with the necessary parameters like history, geography, state project etc - Detailed documentation on Wikiproject India template documentation.
An article is always a brain child of an editor(s)- considering it, try to be kind to the editors in explaining the review ratings if requested. Some of the editors may request reassessment, so keep the talk page in your watchlist.
A given article may be part of many wiki projects - while participants are not expected to locate and tag an article against each project, some of the common ones like Biography or companies would be greatly helpful for those projects as well.
Use the Yuvipanda/AssessmentBar created specially for this drive. More information. AssessmentBar doesn't work anymore, experiment with Rater or any other script. (Note: If there's any script which works very well, don't hesitate to add its link here or on the talk page.)
Any help or issue, please contact the co-ordinators.
