Wikipedia:WikiProject Business/Version 1.0 assessment

The following system is proposed for use by the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, for assessing how close we are to a distribution quality article on a particular topic. The system is based on a letter scheme which reflects principally how complete the article is, though the content & language quality are also factors. Once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered "complete", although obviously edits will continue to be made.

The system has been proposed as a replacement for the "WP 1.0" and "WP 0.5" standards proposed earlier. The new system is based on the system used at WP:Chem for their worklist, and it has proved to be very flexible but useful for regular assessments on a list of 380 articles.

It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article. It is proposed that each one of our sub-projects should have a coordinator who performs a complete assessment on each page on that list every three months. If you contribute a lot of content to an article you may request an independent assessment.

At present this assessment system is in use on the core topics page.
