• Changed rating to B. This is great writing and a great subject. Well done. Maybe there is a good Internet biography that would complement the art in the external links? Maybe more categories to add? Biography peer review would be an optional next step, then GA and then FAC. -Susanlesch 01:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, but none of your suggestions relate to the assignment of a "B" rating, as opposed to any other rating. I hope you will understand that I find "B" inaccurate and offensive, given the substantial work I've put in here, and I would prefer the rating was simply left off the article until it is submitted to GAC or FAC. Thanks! –Outriggr § 02:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

• Oh dear. Another user submitted this article for assessment which I tried to do. I thought another source or two from the Internet might be good but they aren't a requirement. If the stub section tag is removed when you are ready, then I think that an A rating is in order. Would that help or not? I would think it would also be ok to revert the B back to Start. -Susanlesch 03:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry for getting so excited about it. My plans for the article are to finish the lead (always the last thing to be done), expand the section-stub, and fill out any years that are glossed over in the bio. Also, if I was to submit to FAC, I want to find a "core" biography on Rodin to use as a source. I would be exceedingly happy with an "A" when the section-stub is completed, but I don't want the article to have it because I whined. :) I'm also not clear on whether an "A" can only be assigned by a more formal review. Basically, I am aware of the article ratings system in place - and I find it wanting - so if "B" is most appropriate within that system, that's OK. I will not "remove" it again. :) –Outriggr § 03:19, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

• An A before GA is unusual but not unprecedented. Whatever works best for you and others is all right. I typed (and cut) "tempted to say 'A'" the first time and now wish it was there to show you in the edit history. Again sorry and best wishes for this project. -Susanlesch 03:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I bet it's easier to review articles that nobody is currently attached to. :) –Outriggr § 03:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
