Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

RFC at Talk:Boulton and Park#RFC: Limerick's appropriateness

There is a current RFC on a page that is a part of this Wikiproject. The RFC summary is as follows:

This article about two Victorian crossdressers currently ends with a limerick in which an animal being sodomized asks the perpetrator if he had mistaken the animal for the two article subjects. There are two questions for consideration: (1) Should this limerick end the article, as it currently does? and (2) Should the text of the limerick be included?

Any participation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much, --Jerome Frank Disciple 14:26, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello Everyone/Proposed Edits

Hello everyone. My name is Goose0919 and I am a student at Rice University in the course Poverty Justice and Human Capabilities. I plan on revising and expanding on the current Wikipedia article Child marriage in the United States. I hope to expand and shed light onto this important topic. If you have any feedback or advice/tips please feel free to let me know!

Here is my sandbox with more information and resources. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Goose0919/Child_marriage_in_the_United_States

Adding a sentence

{{Please see Wikipedia:Teahouse#Adding_a_sentence_to_the_Rape_in_Islamic_law_article}} I was redirected to ask here from the Teahouse. To the, "Self defence" section of the Rape in Islamic law article, I want to add, "However, nowadays, a person who kills a rapist or potential rapist in self defence can be tried and convicted for murder." but will it pass muster? Can someone suggest some better text I can add to summarise those sources, so that they are acceptable?-

Proposed edits to existing article

Hi everyone, I am a student at Rice University who is planning on editing the Homelessness in the United States by state article. For more information, you can see details about my plan on my user page and sandbox. I've added this article in the Human Rights WikiTopic as a mid importance article. Please let me know if anyone has any feedback.

Pouchwarm (talk) 03:46, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

I see your "outline of proposed changes" and have some feedback.

What you are doing, and what happens on Wikipedia, is a sort of "literature review". This means that you can report information that you find in reliable sources, and that you cannot report what you do not find in those sources.

Wikipedia has standards for WP:Reliable sources. Some of the sources you have listed in your draft bibliography do not meet that standard.

Instead of planning what information you will write, consider going to the library with no agenda and simply finding the best sources of information you can find on the topic. I suspect that you will not find reliable sources that match your expectations.

After finding the best sources you can possibly find, then read those sources and report in Wikipedia whatever they say. Plan your changes around whatever is in the sources, and especially if you see issues raised in multiple sources, even if it is not the information that you imagined before doing the research.

In Need of Advice

Hi! I am a student who will be creating a new article covering "Human Trafficking in Houston". I hope to bring awareness/educational information and a municipal perspective to a global issue. Houston is a major spot for trafficking activity and I believe it is important to create a new entry covering the city's part in Human Trafficking. I am happy to hear any advice or feedback, so feel free to visit my user page. Ctrlxem (talk) 05:37, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ctrlxem: Normally I would recommend against making such a specific article for a city, but I know something about this issue in Houston, this is a case where there are lots of sources.

You already checked out Human_trafficking_in_Texas#Houston and said on your talk page that you have more information to share than can fit in a subsection on the state article. That is a good reason to establish a new article if you have the sources, and I know you can get them.

Follow the general Wikipedia editing advice of starting in the library and finding the best sources before outlining your plan. Doing library research upfront before planning your article is a strategy that often works well. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:26, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help!!! I will be continuing with my plan of creating the article (of course with your advice in mind). Once I have a draft of my article in my sandbox, would you mind checking it out?

Again, thank you for the response! Ctrlxem (talk) 14:43, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

@Ctrlxem: Yes ping me when you have something.

@Bluerasberry: I have made a brief summary about what content it will contain, so feel free to check my sandbox linked in my user page! I still am working on gathering citations and specifying the page numbers, and am aware that some links might be broken. Please let me know what you think, thanks!

Hi Everyone

Hello! I am a student at Rice University writing a new article titled "Human Trafficking of North Korean Women in China." I believe this issue is important in the human rights realm, so I have added the WikiProject to the parent article. (Evelyn4712 (talk) 04:12, 1 October 2023 (UTC))

Look to this sandbox for more information. The neighborhood really has a lot of history that should be included and displayed for the world to see. The article will be about Comuna 13 http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Alecprofit Alecprofit (talk) 03:16, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

@Evelyn4712: Do what you feel is best. Everyone has different results and ideas.

I will suggest that you consider instead developing either Human trafficking in North Korea or Human trafficking in China, which are already established with other context, have traffic, and have major gaps in their development. A likely route that readers would take to find "Human Trafficking of North Korean Women in China" is through one of those, so your proposed article would interconnect with those anyway.

Before you decide to establish that new article, make sure you have found good reasons to do so rather than just developing and updating what already exists. There are lots of good reasons to make the article you describe; drawbacks include that new articles take significantly more work and every intersection, intersectional articles, "only North Koreans", "being trafficked to only China", and "only women", get much less traffic than the broader concepts. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry: Thank you so much for your advice! I asked my professor about integrating my work into one of the existing articles like Human trafficking in North Korea or Human trafficking in China but she said she thought this information important enough to stand on its own. I will talk to her about your suggestions (as I do agree with them) and I will get back to you on what I end up doing! As for the article traffic, my professor has encouraged me to link my article to others and link other articles in mine, so I am not too worried about it. I also think awareness about this topic is slowly growing globally, so the attention my article gets should grow with it. Thanks again! (Evelyn4712 (talk) 18:24, 10 October 2023 (UTC))

@Evelyn4712: Yes, I agree that it is an important topic which can stand on its own. Good luck developing it and I will support you whatever you decide. If you want comment when you have something to share then ping me. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:38, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry: I just updated my sandbox to offer a summary of my article! Let me know what you think. Thank you! (Evelyn4712 (talk) 03:59, 16 October 2023 (UTC))

Merging articles about Afro-pessimism

There are 2 articles related to Afro-pessimism right now:

• Afro-pessimism (Africa)
• Afro-pessimism (United States)

Other philosophies and theories don't have parentheses with location that a theory may comment on and it doesn't make sense to include it in these in my understanding. Afro-pessimism speaks widely to conditions affecting Black people, and subsections of a merged article could describe different regional contexts and meanings of the term. We should not have 2 separate articles, a merge of these articles should be a priority with these pages. Thoughts from experts? Hexatekin (talk) 04:07, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Internment of Japanese Americans - Article name and terminology used in article text

Despite the consensus seeming to be in favour of keeping "internment" as the title of Internment of Japanese Americans, the article's text now solely uses the term "incarceration".

Freedom

2025 is clearly against most freedoms. I was surprised when I read it. And taking away rights, is wrong. One party should be in charge for ever on both sides of the aisle and the presidency. is actually no different than what the Democrats are trying to do by bringing so many illegal people to vote so they never lose power. On the opening, it says Trump is part of it. That is not true. So why do you have his name on it? And if he’s not part of this. you stated that on a different page. I can now see why people are confused and blaming Trump for 2025. I am a conservative independent. And even most of these things cross or I think freedom is taken away. or decided on someone else. I think you owe it to Trump to clear this up once and for all and explain he is not part of 2025. Or your handing the election to the Democrats. 69.170.208.61 (talk) 16:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
