This assessment page shows the results of recent assessments, shows the quality scale, and shows the importance scale.  

==Quality scale==
''Note: A B-class article should have at least one reference.''
{{Grading scheme}}

==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. 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 students of hagiography. Importance does not equate to quality; a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] could rate 'mid' on importance.

''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. Rate international region/country-specific articles from the prespective of someone from that region.''
