Also, I have really reworked my first article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanessa_Lane but I don't know how to get it re-rated. Any help would be great. Thank you all Lapsey (talk) 07:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Right. For the time being, I have rated your article again using the citeron. However, it is still Start-Class, which means that "it is useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information, and that the article clearly needs to be expanded."


 * However, to progress to B-Class, it needs to fit this description:

It is useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work.


 * Here's what needs to be done to get it to B-Class [this is a generic description, so you may have covered part of this already]:"Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage."


 * To request an assessment, click the appropriate link from this category and ask there. For instance, for the Vanessa Lane article, you would want to use this link.


 * Hope this helps,
