| *::Thanks for looking at this. What I do not understand is that as of 20:53, 24 October 2009, all elements except one were B class. The bot seems to have upheld the original rating, and it seems inconsistent that it has a legacy rating of C, whereas I would have thought the referencing is B standard all these years later. Is there a reason why the legacy rating does not match the bot rating, of C and B respectively? Can you please explain why there is this clash? Thanks for the help provided. ] (]) 22:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
| *:::Personally, I don't think there is enough source material out there, to warrant spending the time on the article to raise it to a Good Article class, but think that what is currently there is worthy of a B class. ] (]) 22:49, 1 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
| *::::{{ping|Keith H99}} I should have seen the inconsistency. I have changed b1 to yes so there is no inconsistency in the assessment or on the page. I have seen such inconsistencies a few times when the two bots (cewbot and milhistbot) give inconsistent ratings. Milhistbot is usually correct; sometimes a manual adjustment is necessary, however. I also have seen milhistbot not recognize that b1 had been satisfied because of the placement of the citation at the beginning of a quote or table but that does not appear to have been the situation here. Milhistbot originally gave the article a B rating but with a b1=no. This ultimately ended up as a C, possibly when cewbot rated it as B but noticed the b1=no. I am far from an expert on bots so my view may not be what happened. The bottom line is that there was an error as to b1 even though the overall assessment was accurate and I have made them consistent. Sorry I can't be more definitive. Great article in any event. ] (]) 00:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
| *:::::Many thanks for this. It is the most recent human assessment vs bot assessment clash that I have encountered. I rewrote the article 3 years ago. It was an awful nationalistic POV, with dollops of fantasy and very few sources. Happy New Year! ] (]) 00:43, 2 January 2025 (UTC) | |||
| *::::::It wasn't the bots' fault. Back in 2009 I gave it a b1=no (correct at the time) but class=B (correct at the time), which was later rendered as C class when that was introduced the following year. The cewbot came along in 2024 to add the banner shell and adopted the majority class rating of B (our template is the only one). Then it noted the inconsistency. ] ] 19:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC) | |||

Latest revision as of 13:59, 7 January 2025
Requests for assessment
ShortcutEditors can self-assess articles against the five B-class criteria up to and including C-Class. If you have made significant improvements to an article against one or more of B-class criteria and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below, specifying which criteria you have worked on. If you feel unable to assess against one or more of the B-class criteria, please say so when posting. Requests for formal A-Class review should be made at the review department. Please consider entering articles you have improved in the military history article writing contest.
Experienced assessors are encouraged to take a look at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators#AutoCheck report for December and check a few of ≈ B-Class assessments. Feel free to downgrade them if you consider they don't meet one or more the criteria. Please also delete any that you have checked. See also Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Spaceflight/Assessment, whose articles often overlap with military history topics.
ADD NEW REQUESTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AND BEFORE THE LINE FOR THE BACKLOG CHECK REQUEST
Please remember to sign your requests.
- Davis Tillson - another American Civil War general, just created, could use a check against B-class criteria. Thanks in advance ...GELongstreet (talk) 03:29, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- Bot assessed C class. Bot determined that coverage and accuracy criteria not met. I suggest adding a few sentences to the lead and separating the biography section into Early life, American Civil War and Later life sections, though they will be brief. APPLETONS’ CYCLOPAEDIA OF AMERICAN BIOGRAPHY VOL. VI. SUNDERLAND—ZU RITA has an entry for him. This appears to have some additional information. Since it was published in 1888, he was still alive. I earlier downloaded information from this book since it is available online. I was gathering information on the few generals who still needed biographies but did not find time to proceed. I don't remember a reason but I didn't note the online info for citation so I cannot readily add it here. I think it can be easily found, however. Donner60 (talk) 19:33, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Bot has instructions not to issue a B to an article with a one-sentence lead. Also, i Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:53, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Nevil Brownjohn- expanded article. Should meet B class by now. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 10:55, 6 January 2025 (UTC)- B class. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 05:02, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
- The Bounding Billow, another one from my trawl of Category:Military history articles needing attention only to supporting materials. I haven't looked at the article in much detail but I've added an image and infobox which should satisfy b5 at least - Dumelow (talk) 08:33, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
