The purpose of this page is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's figure skating articles. The list could be used to select candidates for Wikipedia 1.0, or perhaps even to create a CVG WikiReader. It should also allow to identify areas that need work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Figure skating articles by quality and Category:Figure skating articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist: Index · Statistics · Log

Instructions[edit]

An article's assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner, which gets placed at the top of the article's talk page: 

{{WikiProject Figure Skating |class= |importance= }}

The following values may be used for the class-parameter:

The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below. Do NOT assign FA/FL, A or GA class to articles without a preceding review and successful promotion! Articles without a valid class are listed in Category:Unassessed Figure skating articles.

The following values may be used for the importance-parameter:

Figure skating-specific criteria[edit]

Review criteria[edit]

The following figure skating-specific review criteria MUST be satisfied by articles of featured class or A-class. However, they are recommended to be followed in articles of all assessment classes:

Priority criteria[edit]

  • Skater biographies: Level 4 vital biographies should be rated "top" and level 5 vital biographies "high" importance. Biographies of medalists at Super Slam events (Olympic Games, ISU Championships, and the Grand Prix Final) should be rated "mid" and all other biographies "low" importance, unless additional notibility criteria apply.
  • Super Slam events: General articles about Super Slam events should be rated "top" (like World Figure Skating Championships) and specific editions "high" if recent or notable (like 2024 World Figure Skating Championships) or "mid" importance.
  • Other competitions: General articles should be rated "high" (like NHK Trophy) and specific editions "mid" if recent or notable (like 2024 NHK Trophy) or "low" importance.
  • Figure skating elements: Articles about basic element types (like figure skating lifts) should be rated "top", specific elements (like Axel jump or sit spin) "high", and element variations or skating moves "mid" importance (like Ina Bauer or counter turn).
  • Ice shows: Articles about ongoing touring ice shows should be rated "mid" (like Stars on Ice) and other shows "low" importance, unless additional notability criteria apply.

Quality criteria[edit]

  • Articles about judging systems that have not been monitored regarding correct use of figure skating terminology must not be rated higher than start class.
  • Articles about figure skating elements or competition segments that have not been monitored regarding correct use of figure skating terminology must not be rated higher than C-class.
  • Articles about figure skating competitions that only consist of a lead section and statistics tables must not be rated higher than start class. For C-class, a prose summary of each competition segment is mandatory.
  • Articles about ice shows that only consist of a lead and participants list must not be rated higher than start class. For C-class, a prose summary of the show's history (recurring events) or synopsis (one-off events) is mandatory.

Assessment scales[edit]

Shortcut

Priority scale[edit]

Need: A measure of a subject's importance, regardless of its quality
Top Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia.
High Subject is exceptionally important.
Mid Subject contributes a depth of knowledge.
Low Subject fills in important details.
NA Subject importance is not applicable.

Quality scale[edit]

Quality is graded based on the Version 1.0 Assessment Scale. The following table summarizes the criteria used to assess articles at each level of the quality assessment scale. In addition to the criteria, the tables list the assessment process used at each level, describe the reader's experience at each level, and provide editing suggestions and an example of an article assessed at that level.

Note: Our thanks to WikiProject Military History whose assessment procedures served as a model.

Figure skating assessment criteria
Class Criteria Reader's experience Editing suggestions Example
FA The article meets all featured article criteria and figure skating-specific criteria. It has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates. Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. Tara Lipinski (as of February 5, 2023)
FL The list meets all featured list criteria and figure skating-specific criteria. It has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates. Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available. List of career achievements by Yuzuru Hanyu (as of June 19, 2021)
A The article meets all general A-class criteria and figure skating-specific criteria. It is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by at least three impartial reviewers, following these reviewer requirements. Good article status is not a requirement for A-class. Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help.
GA The article meets all good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations. Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. Nathan Chen (as of January 25, 2024)
B The article meets all of the B-class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards. Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. Fantasy on Ice (as of March 19, 2024)
C The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup. Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. Figure skating at the 2006 Winter Olympics – Men's singles (as of February 1, 2024)
Start The article is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. 2013–14 figure skating season (as of January 18, 2024)
Stub The article meets none of the start class criteria. Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a stub class article to step up to a start class article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. Alana Toktarova (as of February 9, 2024)
