It appears that a single reviewer marked this as an A-class article across all WikiProjects. Per WP:ACLASS, "Assessing an article as A-Class requires more than one reviewer." I see no evidence that other reviewers were consulted, so I am downgrading the assessment to B-class, which is generally the highest rating that a single reviewer can give. I have not reviewed this article myself, and I offer no opinion as to whether this article is legitimately B-class, whether it should be assessed lower (e.g. C-class), or whether it is suitable for a Good Article, A-class, or Featured Article nomination. cmadler ( talk) 12:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
This article has been recently hacked by what I can only presume is an inexperienced editor, who proceeded to remove the redlinks (that stale, obnoxious debate, presuming that editors who create the new articles should go and find all mentions of said articles in various texts, instead of just filling the one link!) and cut down much referenced text, with said references, as "speculation". S/he also added "who" tags after authors who were cited several times in the text, without noticing that these authors had already been identified upon first mention -- for instance, "literary historian Paul Cernat", upon first mention, and with a link that would permit the reader to get more information should anyone actually write the article. What was also hard to understand was the abrupt manner in which the lead was whittled down, even though this one does in fact fit with the specific requirement in the manual of style: namely, that the lead is supposed to summarize the article text.
The article may be a bit on the long side, but, seriously, it doesn't follow that we should strive to cut the narrative into arbitrary parts just to satisfy those editors who venture here and can't be bothered to read through a long text. I reverted. If you have any objections, please bring them up on the talk page. Dahn ( talk) 12:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
1) Do see WP:REDYES - "Create red links everywhere they are relevant to the context for terms that should exist in the encyclopedia."
See also WP:DEADLINE - "Wikipedia is not working to a deadline."
What troubles or distracts you is of no consequence; we follow policy, not whim. Just for the record, I took all the redlinks from a random section and showed that they do refer to plausibly notable entities. Clearly you have not spent much time actually researching the notability of these terms.
2) Your assertion that the text is "POV, conjecture, trivial, redundant, unsourced or outdated" is, as you would put it, "entirely subjective and in the eye of the editor".
Where do you see unsourced content? Where are there redundancies? What sections are outdated? What do you find trivial?
3) You have not raised claims of a lack of neutrality. And surely you know from WP:LENGTH that the solution to overlength is splitting, not cutting sourced material. I see no need for either a split or cuts, but you may as well go through the motions of proposing a split first.
4) Well, just one, really - Category:Deaths from neurological disease is a duplicate of Category:Deaths from brain tumor. - Biruitorul Talk 01:43, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
