[edit] Need to discuss the derived terms and history

The article currently doesn't mention B-list or C-list explicitly, and while there is a link to Kathy Griffin's My Life on the D-List, there is no discussion of that extension of the concept. As such, it becomes unclear to the reader which terms come directly from Ulmer and which are simply popular extensions of the concept.

Ideally, I'd like to see the article go on to give a little history of the term: when it first appeared, why Ulmer developed it, whether there are similar terms used in the entertainment industry, etc.Lawikitejana 00:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Link

The Ulmer Scale link doesn't work.

[edit] Was James Ulmer first?

Is the article meant to imply that the concept of an A list was invented by James Ulmer, or that his list is just a well known instance? The article needs to clear up this point. --88.111.33.202 02:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. This is really confusing. STGM 03:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
