Welcome to the Assessment department of WikiProject Brazil! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Brazil articles. 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 recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

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

Importance scale

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is.

They attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic, and therefore the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it. Subjects with greater popular recognition may be rated higher than topics that might otherwise be judged more consequential but are primarily of specialist interest.

General recognition should not be judged solely from the perspective of editor demographics. Topics that may seem unfamiliar to one audience can still merit a high importance rating if they are widely recognized elsewhere.
