Reassessment request[edit]

@PRehse: please reassess. I believe this article easily meets all six B-Class criteria. TIA. ATS (talk) 21:27, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@PRehse: that you are not a listed member of the WPs is not irrelevant—these ratings are intended to be made by project members. Your action to revert me rather than reassess your ratings is also incorrect. Please revert yourself. —ATS (talk) 22:45, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

B-Class review[edit]

... requested. IMO, "Start-Class" as assessed by a non-project member is a gross underestimation and patently phony. —ATS (talk) 22:59, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Assessment states anyone can assess - it has never been limited to those who happen to add their name.PRehse (talk) 23:10, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The project page says anyone can assess, PRehse, therefore I withdraw my erroneous objection made on those grounds.

However, there is an accepted norm in Wikipedia that an assessor be competent in rating an article; indeed, per the project page, "Reviewers are expected to follow Wikipedia's article quality grading criteria." By ignoring these criteria, you are thus far refusing to address the foundational argument that your rating is, to repeat, a gross underestimation and patently phony. No article that passes B-Class criteria should ever be rated "Start-Class", and speaks incontrovertibly poorly of your competence to rate this (or any) article. Either address the criteria, or remove your phony rating. —ATS (talk) 00:08, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removing "review" per editor failure to address the merits. —ATS (talk) 02:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Upgrade[edit]

With the inclusion of additional data, I have upgraded this article to B-Class in accordance with content assessment guidelines. It is my belief that this article has for some time met the criteria: properly referenced; well-covered; no errors/omissions; defined; well-written; supporting materials; appropriately understandable.

A-Class or higher would require review independent of my own. ATS (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
