SilkTork's PPI Assessment Page

SilkTork is classified as a Wikipedia expert

Assessment 1, part 1

The purpose of this evaluation in not to gauge variability in article quality, but to look at the metric itself. How consistent is this assessment tool? and Is there a difference in scores between subject area expert assessment and Wikipedian article assessment?

Equal Access to COBRA Act (1 July 2010)

• Comprehensiveness 1
• Sourcing 6 (There are two sources which fully cover the one statement in the article. One is a Press Release from Sen. Barbara Boxer which has been used in an accredited newspaper. The other is a link directly to the bill's details on the Library of Congress website)
• Neutrality 3
• Readability 3
• Illustrations 0
• Formatting 1 (The link to the Library of Congress website should be either formatted as a reference or an WP:External link)
• Total 14

Asylum in the United States (1 July 2010)

• Comprehensiveness ?4 (This is a big topic and would require substantial background reading to get a feel for comprehensiveness. I do this for a GA review on an article which I have selected as being on a topic for which I would be willing to spend a week or more doing research - though for this assessment I can only make a guess)
• Sourcing 1
• Neutrality ?1 (Obvious bias can be picked up by a casual reader, though most bias is embedded in the selection of data, the avoidance of contrasting views, etc and needs either an expert or a period of background reading and research to uncover. I have made a guess)
• Readability 3
• Illustrations 1
• Formatting 2
• Total 12

Assessment 1, Part 2

Assessment request 2, please use article version from 1 October 2010. There are a couple of rereviews, hopefully those will be fast. This will tie up the first assessment testing the quantitative metric and comparing Wikipedian assessment to expert assessment. Sorry the articles don't link to the correct article version, I will do this in the future.
