Examine the article and decide if it is in the project scope.
If it is in our scope proceed to step 3.
If it is not in our scope remove the {{WP UK Politics}} banner from the talk page and add {{n}} ~~~~ after the entry in the task list.
Check the article against the quality scale and update the class= rating in the project banner.
Quality ratings are subjective and are a "best guess" of the article quality at any given time. Don't worry if you get the assessment wrong as it will be corrected the next time an assessment is done and you will become more familiar with the ratings with the more articles you assess.
Optional: Update the UK Politics importance= rating for the article. However as we don't have an agreed set of importance criteria we are relying on editors to judge whether they think the article is of Top, High, Mid or Low importance in the overall scope of UK politics of the last 300 years. This is incredibly subjective so feel free to skip this point if you are not comfortable with it.
Remove the auto= parameter from the project banner on the talk page.
When steps 3 & 4 are completed add {{y}} ~~~~ after the entry in the task list.
If you are unsure whether the article is in our scope or not, or if you need assistance with choosing a quality rating add {{?}} and a comment after the entry in the task list.
