Assessment Page

The Trains assessment scheme is in place so that editors can see what articles are good and complete, and what articles need more work on them.

The scheme starts from "Stub" class, for articles only a few sentences long, and works up through "Start" and "B". When an article reaches A-Class, it is considered complete, and can only do better by achieving "FA-Class", making it one of trains' best articles.

The assessments are mainly carried out by member's of the workforces, but any user may rate an article, as long as it is within the guidlines (below).

The only level that cannot be gained through a ranking by a user is FA- or FL- class, which must be nominated. A panel of assessors will then give their comments, and a final assessment.

The assessments are by no means the law. They can easily be changed by any user. For the guidlines, please see below.

So, how do you rate an article? Well...

Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
For articles that contain a high ratio of prose to other data/media:
Featured article FA
{{FA-Class}}
Featured article. This level is reserved for articles that have gone through a peer review for completeness in scope and breadth of the article's topic as well as readability and verifiability. Articles at this level are considered to be at the best quality possible at Train Spotting World. The reader will find that articles of this level completely cover their chosen topics and are easy to read. The reader will also know exactly where to look to both verify the information in the article and where to find more information about the article topic. The process to request and receive a peer review is under development. (none yet)
A
{{A-Class}}
A-Class article. Articles in this grading level are generally complete in scope and breadth and are generally easy to read and verify. The reader will gain a general understanding of the article's topic, but there may be some parts that could be expanded or further defined in the article text. Articles at this level shouldn't take much more work to reach featured status; they are generally complete and well-referenced and all images are appropriately licensed for inclusion in the article. Some formatting and style issues may be present. The article will need to be peer reviewed before it can advance to the next level. Pioneer Zephyr (as of January 2008)
B
{{B-Class}}
B-Class article. Articles at this level have a sufficient amount of materials for a basic understanding of the topics presented, but there are noticeable areas where information is lacking. The reader will gain basic knowledge of the topic, but may find technical terms are undefined or may find parts of the topic missing which leads to further questions on the topic from the reader. Editors may be actively researching articles at this level, but the basic outline for the topic's coverage is included in the article. The main points of the topic are at least defined, and some references are included for verifiability. Stephenson's Rocket (as of January 2008)
Start
{{Start-Class}}
Start-Class article. Articles at this level will generally have a few paragraphs of text and may include tabular data and/or images or other media. Some parts of the topic may be covered in further detail. The reader will get a basic understanding of the topic definition and may find some other information with it. Editors have added some text, technical data and/or media to the article, but work toward a higher quality class may be little more than outline headings. The article may or may not have references included. Hanshin Electric Railway (as of January 2008)
Stub
{{Stub-Class}}
Stub-Class article. Articles at this level could be as short as a single sentence defining the article's topic. Extensive work is needed to raise an article from this level. The reader will get little more than a definition of the article's title. The article needs basically everything. LSWR K10 Class (as of January 2008)
For articles that contain little more than lists of data:
Featured list FL
{{FL-Class}}
Featured List. This level is reserved for lists that have gone through a peer review for completeness and contain enough information for a complete understanding of the topic and a basic understanding of the items in the list. The process for reviewing lists to reach this level is under development. (none yet)
List
{{List-Class}}
List-Class. Articles in this rating class contain more list data than prose. The reader will see a list of data and/or related topics, and will generally need to conduct further research to understand the topic as a whole or items included in the list. The article can be as simple as a list of links to other articles or it could include images and/or other media or it could include references for verifiability. List of Wisconsin railroads (as of January 2008)
