Wikipedia editors use a classification system to judge quality for articles, ranging from stubs (very short articles, usually with just one section) to Featured Articles (peer reviewed articles providing comprehensive and quality coverage of a subject). These ratings are visible only on the article's talk page, listed at the top by relevant volunteer projects associated with the article. For example, ggplot2, a software library, is rated as start class for the Statistics, Computing and Free Software projects.
The classification levels are stub, start, C, B, ,GA (Good Article), A, and FA (Featured Article). The criteria may vary from project to project a bit but will usually fall along these lines (see this table for a more comprehensive breakdown):
