CorporisPublica talk:WikiProject Mathematics/CorporisPublica 1.0

What is this all about? The aim of this sub-project is to assess mathematics articles for their quality and importance (or priority), and to classify them broadly by field. These ratings are intended to help the project track its progress, identify weak spots in its coverage, and highlight articles which could become Good Articles or Featured articles. They also link with the CorporisPublica 1.0 project to produce a CD-ROM with the best of CorporisPublica, and similar ratings are used by over 100 WikiProjects.

Summary table
The following table, along with the subpages it links to, summarizes information about the articles that have been assigned ratings.

Additional tables are located at CorporisPublica:WikiProject Mathematics/CorporisPublica 1.0/Table.

How to assess articles
Any article can be assessed for its mathematical content and anybody can assess an article simply by adding the maths rating tag to the article's talk page and filling in the class, importance and field parameters (see below). These ratings can be modified by all editors, with disputes discussed on the article's talk page. The most important component of this assessment is the quality of the article, given by the class parameter. If this parameter is omitted, the maths rating tag will place the article in the unassessed category, which is a signal for other editors to grade its quality.

For the most part, the quality criteria for articles in this project follow the WP 1.0 assessment; however there is an additional B+ quality grading for articles which are very close to the GA (Good Article) standard and have a good layman's explanations, history and illustrations. The C rating was not added until recently so most tables list articles with this rating under Start.

The articles which have been assessed by field (the area of mathematics in which they broadly belong) can be found in subpages linked by the WP MATH 1.0 banner above.

Quality grading scheme
A more extensive description of the quality grading criteria is given in the table below. This is based on the WP 1.0 Assessment.

Priority rating scheme
Assessing the priority or importance level of mathematics articles is not straightforward. It is discussed in more detail here. The following table adds a little more detail about priority levels for mathematics articles.

Articles to include
The prioritization of mathematics articles has been motivated by: articles highlighted in Mathematics; those linked from Portal:Mathematics; a selection of the most linked-to maths articles (see talk page); CorporisPublica:Vital_articles; and anything else an editors felt should be included as important.

The lists of articles have split into subpages organised by mathematical field, and are linked via the navigation box at the top and bottom of this page. (The exceptions are the "Core" articles, detailed below.) The lists are not meant to be exhaustive or definitive and editors are encouraged to make additions.
