RationalWiki talk:Article rating

Just Plain Ignorant Articles
RationalWiki obviously needs this rating category. Some articles in the other sections belong in this one.

HIGH / MID / LOW ratings
Can we add an explanation for these ratings to this page? oʇɐʇoԀʇɐϽʎzznℲ (talk/stalk) 18:11, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Done, I think. CorruptUser (talk) 05:43, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion
Have different types of brain - birdbrain, 'amoeba brain', 'brainwarped' etc. Anna Livia (talk) 16:02, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

I suggest that for bronze articles we should require that there are no "naked URL" links (in other words, all citations are within tags and are properly written citations. -- Goatspeed. 22:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That sounds wise. Twodots   Annoy me   Look, ma!  22:32, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That's perfectly reasonable. I'd prefer that it would be a strong suggestion rather than a requirement, though. That kind of thing is usually pretty easy to clean up. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 22:36, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't it be a requirement if it's easy and improves the article's appearance? Twodots   Annoy me   Look, ma!  22:39, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

I know this is stale, but I agree with the proposal per all of the above. --Andrew5 (talk) 16:26, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Proposal
I am proposing, for cover stories, that DEMOTE be allowed to be used as well. --Andrew5 (talk) 16:35, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
