JADE/Glossary


 * Endorsement
 * Endorsing a judgment means that you support its conclusions, and gives you an opportunity to explain why you agree. Endorsements should not be tallied as votes.


 * Endorsement comment
 * Usually this will be the endorsing editor's reasoning for agreeing with a judgment.


 * Judgment
 * Collaboratively authored opinion about a wiki entity.


 * Judgment notes
 * Explains the judgment. The notes can be edited by anyone.


 * Judgment page
 * Any judgments about a wiki entity will be stored on a page with a title identifying the entity.


 * Judgment schema
 * Concrete scale on which an opinion is measured. This can be as simple as the answer to a yes/no question, "Q: Is this edit damaging? A: Yes.", or might allow several possible values such as one choice of "featured article", "good article", "stub article", "C", "B", or "A".


 * Judgment talk page
 * Each judgment page can have a corresponding Talk page, where the judgment is discussed and agreement is formed.


 * Preferred judgment
 * Only one judgment is correct (supported by consensus) for each schema. We support disagreements of opinion, conflicting judgments can be provided but only one is preferred at a given time.


 * Wiki entity
 * Something on a wiki, which will be judged. Note that we make a distinction between wiki edits, "diff", and the snapshot of an article after the edit, "revision".  In the future, other wiki entities may be judged, for example specific, logged admin actions.
