Downsizing amount of quotations & request for reassessment of article quality
Here I am requesting for the removal of a article improvement tag, as well as a re-assessment of the article quality.
Article improvement tag: Dear @Nikkimaria:, thank you for reviewing this article I created. In February 2018 you tagged it as "too many or too-lengthy quotations for an encyclopedic entry". I have now endeavored to address these points: following the guidance as provided in the tag (including WP:LONGQUOTE), I have removed most large quotations, by summarizing them, trimming them down, and also moving them to the references section. Of the previously ten indented quotations in the article, I have reduced them to two, which I have kept because I believe they have special significance and insight: 1) one quote in which the creators of the yearbook explain their reasons for starting the book series; 2) the other quote helps explain the discontinuation of the series within the contextual shifts in international politics and academia. I hope you will find these improvements reasonable and balanced, and if have further feedback please let me know. If you approve of the improvements, I request that you, or any other reviewer, please remove the tag. Thank you. (talk) user:Al83tito 7:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

Article quality re-assessment request: I also would like to request a re-assessment of the quality of the article. I invite @Robofish: who originally assessed it as Start class article, as well as anyone else interested, to re-evaluate the assessment given the further improvements made on it. In my view it could definitely at least qualify as a C-class, and also quote possibly as a B-class. If it does not qualify as B-class, I would appreciate having pointed out what of the criteria are not yet met. Thank you. (talk) user:Al83tito 7:45, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
- Hi. The assessment as start-class was done by an automated bot actually. I'm not an expert on the class criteria, or on the subject matter, but to me this looks like it meets the criteria for B-class, so I've upgraded it accordingly. Robofish (talk) 22:53, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
