FAIR and interactive data graphics from a scientific knowledge graph

Welcome to the assessment department of the Automobiles WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles about automobiles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Automobiles}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Automobile articles by quality, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

How can I get my article rated?

Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.

Who can assess articles?

Any member of the Automobiles WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article.

What if I don't agree with a rating?

You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.

Aren't the ratings subjective?

Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Automobiles}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Automobile articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Automobile articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Automobile articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Automobile articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Automobile articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Automobile articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Automobile articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Automobile articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Automobile articles)		List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Automobile pages)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Automobile pages)		Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Automobile pages)		Draft
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class Automobile pages)		Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Automobile pages)		Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Automobile pages)		Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Automobile pages)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Automobile articles)		???

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Automobiles}} project banner on its talk page:

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Automobile articles)		Top
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Automobile articles)		High
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Automobile articles)		Mid
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Automobile articles)		Low
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Automobile articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Automobile articles)		???

• Articles that require attention should be tagged with: attention=yes
• Articles that are a selected article at the cars portal should be tagged with: portal=yes
• Articles that are automatically tagged as stubs with the Kingbotk plugin for AWB should be tagged with: auto=yes

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to people reading the articles.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.

If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.

• Requesting assessment for the Ford Modular engine entry. TheBalance (talk) 06:28, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the GM LS engine given "mid" importance on the importance scale, but the Ford Modular given "low" importance? I disagree with the Modular's low importance assessment. TheBalance (talk) 02:05, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Ford 335 engine - this page has been extensively overhauled with reputable sources. Hours and hours of research went into making this one of the best researched articles on the Ford 335 series on the internet.Caprice 96 (talk) 01:20, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Electric car - Requesting assessment for this, it has recently changed a lot, and may be of a higher quality. LordLimaBean (talk) 02:02, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Koenigsegg Regera - Page has doubled in content and is overall better sourced since the last assessment at C-class. Would appreciate further feedback and suggestions on how to improve the page to GA (and beyond). Aab254 (talk) 20:07, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Euro NCAP- Hi, I recently did a large update of the Euro NCAP wiki page, inline with 2020 test procedures, and then saw it was listed in this project. I am hoping if it is possible to get a review on this, as before its quality was only a 'C'. Thank you.

• Daihatsu Rocky (crossover)- I moved the content about the second gen Daihatsu Rocky to the aforementioned article, and I need someone to polish it and check it. Thanks!

• Mazda2- Split from Mazda Demio Blaze The Wolf | Proud Furry and Wikipedia Editor (talk) 18:47, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Hidden headlamp - I have recently made significant changes to the article, including rewrites, formatting, and significant citation. Bergallanj (talk) 11:39, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• McLaren MP4-18 - I have significantly revamped the article. X-750 _{I've made a mistake, haven't I?} 06:30, 2 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Houdaille Industries - I have created a new article for Houdaille Industries which among other important things was a early manufacturer of shock absorbers which were used in all of the early Ford automobiles.BuffaloBob (talk) 19:07, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Aptera (solar electric vehicle) has been significantly edited to improve neutrality and the quality of its links. I request an assessment and suggestions to improve its quality rating. Thanks. talk 18:17 12-March-2023

• Requesting Edit to the Suzuki Bolan its quite minor but I've tried my best to keep on improving it. my estimated ranking:

Importance: Low/low-Mid Class: C or Low B tier

• Requesting an assessment for Prancing Horse, I rewrote the entire thing but it's still just Start class. I estimate that it's currently A or B class. I just put it up for GAN too, so if there are any Good Article reviewers in this project I would greatly appreciate a look.—Marisauna (talk) 23:08, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Lincoln Corsair - The article has been expanded significantly. Needlesballoon (talk) 05:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a list of Popular pages, ordered by number of views, a bot-generated list of pageviews, useful for focused cleanup of frequently viewed articles, updated monthly.

The logs in this section are generated automatically (on a daily basis); please don't add entries to them by hand.

Unexpected changes, such as downgrading an article, or raising it more than two assessment classes at once, are shown in bold. The log is very large and may take some time to load, especially on a dial-up connection so it is no longer substituted. You can see it here: Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Automobile articles by quality log.
