Wikipedia talk:WikiProject London/Assessment

British Airways request

British Airways is under your scope and has just received A-Class status under the quality scale used by WP:AVIATION and was wondering if it needs three editors from the London WikiProject to say its A-Class under your WP as well or if it can just be changed to A-Class since it has gone through the required screening. The, now archived, review page is here. Thanks, Plane Person (talk) 16:24, 4 July 2010 (UTC).

request for assesment

Would someone be so kind as to review Pimlico? I've made substantial changes to this, and am quite pleased with how it now looks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grayme (talk • contribs) 13:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Article assesment

I'm being quite conservative (I think) with the assesment and not giving "B class" unless the article has inline referencing (or is incredibly well written). Therefore most reasonably well written articles with no or poor referencing are getting "Start class". Articles that consist mostly of lists I've been giving "Stub class", even if they are lengthy.

As I have noted at Talk:Knightsbridge, I have some concerns about using the London Plan's hierarchy of shopping/services centres as the driver for classification of importance. Although this has the advantage of being "objective", I think it is deeply unhistorical and leads to some perverse results. Knightsbridge is surely not a top importance article, and I am unconvinced that Ealing, Ilford, and Romford merit high importance rankings.

(NB: As far as international recognition of retailing in London - as recognised by VisitBritain figures - is concerned, it was perverse that Harrods and Selfridges weren't included within the scope of WikiProject London so far - I've assigned both mid-importance) --Lang rabbie 21:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Further guidance on importance

There are lots of unassessed articles and it's not obvious which importance level to set them to.

Can I suggest:

ALL tube stations(current,future and closed) - importance=low

Mainline terminal railway stations (end of line- Euston, Kings Cross, Liverpool St, Waterloo, etc) - importance=high

Other Major railway stations (Clapham Junction,Waterloo East etc) -importance= mid

any other railway station - importance=low

ALL bus routes - importance=low

Assessment procedure

It'd be useful if there were some short instructions on how the assessment procedure works, especially for users who may not be familiar with the system. The main assessment page explains the different categories and rating system, but not the procedure (if any) to implement this, in particular:

• How are articles first assessed?
• When/how is an article reassessed?
• How does the assessment robot work?

I've been recently working on some improvements to the Smithfield,_London article and I notice it still doesn't have a WPLondon template/assessment. --DarTar 16:36, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
