Welcome to the assessment department of the Latter Day Saint movement WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Latter Day Saint movement related 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 recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

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

Frequently asked questions

How can I get my article rated? 
Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
Who can assess articles? 
Any member of the Latter Day Saint movement WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? 
Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
What if I don't agree with a rating? 
You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
Aren't the ratings subjective? 
Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

High The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Latter Day Saint movement.
Mid The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Latter Day Saint movement. Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand Latter Day Saint movement. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in Latter Day Saint movement will be rated in this level.
Low The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Latter Day Saint movement. Few readers outside the Latter Day Saint movement field or that are not adherents to the Latter Day Saint movement may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of the Latter Day Saint movement, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of the Latter Day Saint movement.
