Improving the encyclopedia when we are not walking in the wild and sleeping under the sky

Welcome to WikiProject Backpacking. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Hiking and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, inquire on the talk page, watch this page, and see the to-do list, below.

Scope edit

Hiking, hiking trails, hiking equipment, hiking techniques, organizations that support hikers and hiking trail, the hiking community, authors, and their books. To cover hiking and backpacking by its many names; e.g. trekking, hill walking, tramping, rambling, snowshoeing, and more.

Goals edit

Article assessment edit

The project is using standard and extended class/importance as described in content assessment. See also assessing articles.

Priority/importance edit

Top
Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field
High
Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent
Mid
Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area
Low
Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article

When reviewing the importance of an article to the project, consider this guidance. Your judgment as an editor will always trump this guidance.

  • The U.S. National Scenic Trails, or another nations equivalent, and many subjects related to hiking upon them should probably be High priority.
  • The Ten essentials and individual articles about the use of the essential or skills need to use it effectively should be High priority.
  • Other equipment critical to a safe and comfortable backpacking trip should be Mid priority unless it is more—or less—notable for another reason.
  • Organizations that support long-distance hikers or the trails they use should be Mid priority.
  • Hiking trails shorter that ten miles (16 km) may not belong to this project at all unless they are of notable interest to backpackers.
  • Hiking trails longer than ten miles (16 km) should be Low priority unless they are of significant interest to backpackers.
  • Manufacturers or brands of equipment used by backpackers should be Low priority unless they are essential to backpackers for an important reason.

Content quality grading edit

Standard classes edit

We use these classes as defined further in Wikipedia:Content assessment. Here is the relative Part of that document.

Stub-Class
A very basic description of the topic. Can be well-written, but may also have significant content issues.

The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article. It is usually very short; but, if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible, an article of any length falls into this category. Although Stub-class articles are the lowest class of the normal classes, they are adequate enough to be an accepted article, though they do have risks of being dropped from being an article altogether.

Start-Class
An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.

The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style compliance non-existent. The article should satisfy fundamental content policies, such as Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Frequently, the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted.

C-Class
The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.

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; need editing for clarity, balance, or flow; or contain policy violations, such as bias or original research. Articles on fictional topics are likely to be marked as C-Class if they are written from an in-universe perspective. It is most likely that C-Class articles have a reasonable encyclopedic style.

B-Class
The article is mostly complete and without major problems but requires some further work to reach good article standards.

The article meets the six B-Class criteria:

  1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations. It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. Any format of inline citation is acceptable: the use of <ref> tags and citation templates such as {{cite web}} is optional.
  2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.
  3. The article has a defined structure.Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.
  4. The article is reasonably well-written. The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it does not need to be "brilliant". The Manual of Style does not need to be followed rigorously.
  5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams, an infoboxetc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.
  6. The article presents its content in an appropriately understandable way. It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible.
GA-Class
The article has attained good article status, having been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations.

The article meets the good article criteria:

A good article is:

  1. Well written:
    1. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
    2. it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
  2. Verifiable with no original research:
    1. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
    2. all inline citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines;
    3. it contains no original research; and
    4. it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism.
  3. Broad in its coverage:
    1. it addresses the main aspectsof the topic; and
    2. it stays focused on the topicwithout going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
    1. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
    2. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
FA-Class
The article has attained featured articlestatus by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates.

The article meets the featured article criteria:

A featured article exemplifies our 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.

  1. It is:
    1. well-written: its prose is engaging and of a professional standard;
    2. comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context;
    3. well-researched: it is a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature; claims are verifiableagainst high-quality reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate;
    4. neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; and
    5. stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day, except in response to the featured article process.
  2. It follows the style guidelines, including the provision of:
    1. a lead: a concise lead sectionthat summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections;
    2. appropriate structure: a substantial but not overwhelming system of hierarchical section headings; and
    3. consistent citations: where required by criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using either footnotes (<ref>Smith 2007, p. 1</ref>) or Harvard referencing (Smith 2007, p. 1)—see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references. Citation templates are not required.
  3. Media. It has images and other media, where appropriate, with succinct captions and acceptable copyright status. Images follow the image use policy. Non-free images or media must satisfy the criteria for inclusion of non-free content and be labeled accordingly.
  4. Length. It stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail and uses summary style.
