Welcome to theassessment departmentof theConcertsWikiProject. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to concert tours. While much of the work is done in conjunction with theWP:1.0program, 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 Concerts}}project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories ofCategory:Concert articles by quality,which serves as the foundation for anautomatically generated worklist.

Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as afeatured article candidate.See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g.WikiProject Military history).
 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 reviewmay help. N/A

  6. Illustrated,if possible, bymediasuch asimages,video,oraudio:
    1. media aretaggedwith theircopyright statuses,andvalid non-free use rationalesare provided fornon-free content;and
    2. media arerelevantto the topic, and havesuitable captions.
 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 existingfeatured articleon a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. Oops!... I Did It Again Tour
(As of February 2012)
B The article meetsallof theB-Class criteria.It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reachgood article standards.
More detailed criteria
  1. The article issuitably referenced,withinline citations.It hasreliable sources,and any important or controversial material which islikely to be challengedis cited. Any format of inline citation is acceptable: the use of<ref> tagsandcitation templatessuch as{{cite web}}is optional.
  2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for anA-Class article,although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing.
  3. The article has a defined structure.Content should be organized into groups of related material, including alead sectionand all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind.
  4. The article is reasonably well-written.The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but does not need to beof the standard of featured articles.TheManual of Styledoes not need to be followed rigorously.
  5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams, aninfoboxetc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content.
  6. The article presents its content in anappropriately understandable way.It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. The article should not assume unnecessary technical background andtechnical terms should be explained or avoidedwhere possible.
 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 theManual of Styleand relatedstyle guidelines. The MDNA Tour
(As of July 2014)
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 substantialcleanup.
More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
 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 solvecleanupproblems. The Adventures of Mimi
(As of February 2012)
Start An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.
More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
  • A useful picture or graphic
  • Multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
  • A subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
  • Multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
 Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references toreliable sourcesshould come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use. Evanescence Tour
(As of February 2012)
Stub A very basic description of the topic. 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. Break the Spell Tour
(As of February 2012)
List Meets the criteria of astand-alone listorset index article,which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized.
