Welcome to WikiProject United States Constitution on the English Wikipedia! We are a project dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the United States Constitution, with an emphasis on subjects with regional and national significance. This project was formed to coordinate the development of United States Constitution related articles and help maintain the United States Portal. Some project goals are to help list and categorize United States Constitution related articles, develop quality standards for articles and build templates that help users browse the articles that fall under this project. This project also provides a place for Wikipedians to share information and resources regarding improvements to United States Constitution related articles. Here, editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overlooked articles and problems, to the attention of other editors. For more information of the role of WikiProjects, check out WikiProject guidelines.

Review and assessment

edit

Assessment

edit

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject United States Constitution}} project banner on its talk page (see the template page for more details on the exact syntax):

{{WikiProject United States Constitution | class=??? | importance=??? }}

The following values for the class parameter may be used:

These classes no longer need to be explicitly specified to the template. They are deduced by the namespace of the page the template is placed upon.

The following values for the importance parameter may be used:

Articles for which a class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed United States Constitution articles and articles for which an importance is not provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance United States Constitution articles. The class and importance should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

Quality scale

edit

The quality "class" an article receives should follow Wikipedia's regular guidelines for quality found below.

Articles which have not been formerly evaluated, or which have failed a good article review, should not be assigned a quality rating higher than B class. Above that an article needs to go through a formal review process.
