Higher ratings require more formal processes and consensus.</td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The following system is used to assess the quality of a Wikipedia article. The system is based on a letter scheme that reflects principally how factually complete the article is, though <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOS">language quality</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Layout" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Layout">layout</a> are also factors. </p><p>The quality assessments are mainly performed by Wikipedia editors, who tag Talk pages of articles; <a href="/wiki/Category:Autoassessment_bots" title="Category:Autoassessment bots">some bots</a> set the <i>class</i> tag for assessment based on other Talk tags or based on editor selected values. Editor assistance tools like <a href="/wiki/User:Evad37/rater#Assessment_advice" title="User:Evad37/rater">Rater</a> apply automated <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ORES#Existing_article_assessment" class="extiw" title="mw:ORES">ORES</a> or <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Machine_Learning/Modernization#Lift_Wing" class="extiw" title="mw:Machine Learning/Modernization">Lift Wing</a> article assessments, offering a prediction based on structural characteristics of the page (e.g. sectioning and references) that correlate with quality, for the class tag. These tags are then <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Index" title="Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index">collected by a bot</a>, which generates output such as a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Chemistry_articles_by_quality_log" title="Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Chemistry articles by quality log">log</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Chemistry_articles_by_quality_statistics" title="Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Chemistry articles by quality statistics">statistics</a>. For more information, see <i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Using_the_bot" title="Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Using the bot">Using the bot</a></i>. In 2023, <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PIQA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PIQA">project-independent quality assessments</a> were introduced, so editors only have to rate an article once and it applies to all associated projects. </p><p>Most grades are assessed by individual editors according to the criteria on this page. Generally speaking, all editors, including editors who have written or improved an article, are encouraged to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Boldly" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Boldly">boldly</a> set any quality rating that they believe is appropriate, except for the GA, FA, and A-class ratings. GAs (Good Articles) are generally reviewed by a single independent editor after a nomination at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_nominations" title="Wikipedia:Good article nominations">WP:Good article nominations</a>. FAs (Featured Articles) are reviewed by several editors at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates" title="Wikipedia:Featured article candidates">WP:Featured article candidates</a>. Be aware that <a href="/wiki/Category:WikiProjects_using_a_non-standard_quality_scale" title="Category:WikiProjects using a non-standard quality scale">a few projects</a> have opted out of the standard quality scale, and use their own variation of the criteria more tuned for the subject area, such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Assessment#Quality_scale" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment">Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment</a>. </p><p>It is vital that editors not take these assessments of their contributions personally. It is understood that we each have our own opinions of the priorities of the objective criteria for a perfect article. If there is disagreement over the quality rating of an article, then it should be discussed on the article's talk page. </p><p>As of August 2024, <a href="#Statistics">over eight million articles</a> have been assessed. Several other languages are also using this assessment system or a derivative thereof. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Grades" data-mw-thread-id="h-Grades"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Grades"></span>Grades<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Grades"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Content_assessment&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Grades"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238436933"><table class="plainlinks ombox ombox-notice" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/40px-Information_icon4.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/60px-Information_icon4.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/80px-Information_icon4.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="620" data-file-height="620"/></span></span></td><td class="mbox-text">The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ASSESS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ASSESS">assessment ratings</a> mentioned here have <b>no relationship whatsoever</b> to <a href="/wiki/Grading_in_education" title="Grading in education">grading in education</a> or <a href="/wiki/Review" title="Review">review scores</a> like A/B/C/D/F or other rating systems (10-point scale, 5-star system, etc.) that you might see on <a href="/wiki/Homework" title="Homework">homework</a> and <a href="/wiki/Product_review" class="mw-redirect" title="Product review">product reviews</a>.

However, assessing an article as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment/A-Class_criteria" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria">"A-Class"</a> generally requires the agreement of at least two editors, and the "GA" and "FA" labels should be used only on articles that have been reviewed and are currently designated as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_articles" title="Wikipedia:Good articles">good articles</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles" title="Wikipedia:Featured articles">featured articles</a>, respectively. Individual WikiProjects may also have more formal procedures for rating an article, and please note that the WikiProject bears ultimate responsibility for resolving disputes.</dd> <dt>How do I assess an article?</dt> <dd>Consult the <a href="#Quality_scale">quality scale</a> above; once you have chosen the level that seems to be closest to the article, go to the article's talk page and set the <i>class</i> parameter in the WikiProject banner template to the level's name (omitting "Class" from the end). For example, to rate an article as "B-Class", use <code>|class=B</code> in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless they are currently designated as such. Tools in the <a href="#See_also">See also</a> section can help with the assessment process.</dd> <dt>How can I ask for an article to be assessed?</dt> <dd>To have an independent editor review an article, post a request at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wikipedia/Assessment#Requesting_an_assessment" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment">Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia/Assessment#Requesting an assessment</a>.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Common_concerns" data-mw-thread-id="h-Common_concerns-FAQ"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Common_concerns-FAQ"></span>Common concerns<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Common_concerns-FAQ"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Content_assessment&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Common concerns"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <dl><dt>Someone put a project banner template on an article, but it's not really within the WikiProject's scope. What should I do?</dt> <dd>Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the article's talk page (or directly with the person who tagged the article). See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide#Article_tagging" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide">Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Article tagging</a> for more information.</dd> <dt>What if I don't agree with a rating?</dt> <dd>Feel free to change it—within reason—if you think a different rating is justified; in the case of major disputes, the WikiProject as a whole can discuss the issue and come to a consensus as to the best rating.</dd> <dt>Aren't the ratings subjective?</dt> <dd>Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise.
