@Bilorv: i've rarely had a rating reverted; I changed it from B to Start. do you disagree? what should the rating be? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 22:33, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's C-class or B-class, but let's hear why Lwalkingwoman undid your change. An article has got to be at least C-class if it contains a large amount of relevant information on most of the major aspects of the subject, which there is here. Are there any of the six B-class criteria in particular that you think are not met? — Bilorv (talk) 23:39, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, it does meet C-class, but I'm not sure if it hits B? I think there's a lot to be expanded on before it's there. could be wrong theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 03:04, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I consider this a B-class page as described on the WikiProject article quality grading scheme and not a Start page. On whether it is a C-class: A C-class page is "substantial but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material." It may have significant problems or require substantial cleanup of references. Also, a C-rated requires considerable editing to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. Do you think there are issues in this article with missing content, irrelevant material, reference problems, and gaps? — Lwalkingwoman (talk) 15:39, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Lwalkingwoman: I haven't evaluated the depth of sourcing that exists, but at a read-through it seems like there could well be lots more to say in prose about the short fiction and comic books and the upcoming novel. The Indigenous Futurisms section appears to be original research as only two primary source books are cited, and not independent sources that talk about the overall project and how Little Badger's work fits into it. Theleekycauldron, do you know of any concrete sources that could be used to expand the article? It's also not clear to me that the prose is high-quality enough to meet B-class criterion #4 or that there are no freely-available images to satisfy #5. — Bilorv (talk) 16:21, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bilorv:Looking at criterion #4, I suggest that the article is reasonably well written in that it flows sensibly and does not contain major grammatical errors. Regrettably, this criterion does not include a description of a level of high-quality the article must meet, but does explain that it does not need to be "brilliant" and that a B-class article has not yet reached good article standards. As for freely-available images for meeting criterion #5, although illustrations are encouraged, they not required in a B-class and diagrams are included if relevant and useful to the content. Bilorv, do you see a place where a diagram must be included for the sake of understanding the content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lwalkingwoman (talk • contribs) 19:04, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An image of the author would be good—if no compatibly licensed image can be found (on Wikimedia Commons or Flickr) then contacting the author or their agent and getting a photographer to go through the release generator can sometimes work. Thank you for your expansion of the Indigenous Futurisms section. — Bilorv (talk) 15:53, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
