WikiProject Essays Assessment Statistics[edit]
Quality scale[edit]Assessing the "quality" of one's opinion, while a form of critical discourse in intellectual circles, is not appropriate (nor logical) for Wikipedia essays. Therefore, current consensus is for no assessment of essay quality. Impact scale[edit]It is difficult to determine the "importance" of a Wikipedia essay, so this project determines its "impact" using a weighted score system that takes into account number of page watchers (W), pageviews in the previous month (P), and number of incoming links (L). As all three of these metrics are subject to change, essays may be re-rated month-over-month. The importance of essays is determined based on their rank in the list of essays sorted by score. The score is calculated with the following equation: Note: Only essays in the Wikipedia namespace (Category:Wikipedia essays) are assessed here. Essays in the user namespace (Category:User essays) are not under the scope of this project at this time.
How to assess an essay[edit]An essay's impact assessment is performed by the User:AntiCompositeBot bot based on the formula in the section above, which was determined by consensus and coded into the bot. If you would like to discuss having a particular essay assessed, please post a request at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Essays. |
