Ratings[edit]

Okay, so I don't claim to be up on all the details of this assessment system, but calling this article a "stub" just doesn't make any sense; the article isn't beautiful, and it doesn't have a million subheadings, but it has a brief discussion of the plot, a good discussion of its historical context and importance, and a few citations. So I'm going to bump it up a notch... CDC (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the quality scale, an article needs to have at least one of the following to be called Start-class:

a particularly useful picture or graphic
multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article

In my opinion, the article didn't have any of these, therefore it was qualified as stub. I can live with start as per your reasons, but I still think that formally it should be a stub. Errabee 09:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe in 2006. Not now. I've classified 'B' all projects. FightingMac (talk) 22:51, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article shows all the flair of a high school term paper composed by a C student. Wikipedia promotes the more banal side of mediocrity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.254.69.180 (talk) 11:45, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
