RationalWiki has a ratings system for articles, as described below. To nominate an article, either ask on the article's talk page, or this page's talk page.
Contents |
Ordinary articles
Unclassified: I used the steel brain because it looks cool but probably wouldn't be used actually.
- Self-explanatory. The default state of any RW article.
Bronze-level articles
Add {{Bronze}} to bronze-rated articles.
- Article must not be a stub or VSA.
- Article is formatted correctly according to manual of style
- Article contains references and external links ("read more at Wikipedia" doesn't count)
- Article is coherent and free of needless injokes, references to Conservapedia and the jokes and snark are not at the expense of fact.
Silver-level articles
Add {{Silver}} to silver-rated articles.
- Article topic is directly relevant to and worthy of RW's mission (i.e., potential upgrading to cover story would be uncontroversial).
- Article should be of decent length but without repetitive content.
- Article is almost fully referenced with appropriate external links.
- Article is illustrated appropriately.
- Article is free of basic errors.
Cover stories
See also:Help:Cover stories
Add {{Gold}} to gold-rated articles.
- The topic is highly relevant to RW's mission.
- Article is essentially a "go to" resource for the topic at hand.
- Article covers in-depth all aspects of the topic at hand.
- It is fully referenced with appropriate external links.
- Where necessary and possible, the article is supported by others that are of a good quality (e.g., homeopathy and water memory).
- The cover status has been discussed and agreed on the talk page.
