Inekon Trams assessment

I am puzzled by your assessment of Inekon Trams as "Start" class for TWP. It seems more like between C and B to me (closer to C). This is a very small manufacturer, which has built very few streetcars. If anything, the article is too long, especially the infoboxes on the models and other details on the models, relative to how very few (single digits) have been built of each. If you really feel "Start" is a fair assessment, what is it you feel is missing to get to C-class at least? SJ Morg (talk) 11:47, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

My first impression is that the history section is one large block of text and the infoboxes in the models section make a visual separation that gives the illusion that there is little more than the history section. I have no strong feelings on keeping it as start versus promoting to C class, and I am by no means the final arbiter of an article's assessment.

The majority of the assessments that I add are done in a very quick scan and usually are based on my first impression of the article while I look for items to add to Portal:Trains/Did you know every day (a daily task which I have performed since May 2005). I use Category:Unassessed rail transport articles as the pool of articles from which to choose a new fact for the day's update. Some days I can find an interesting tidbit within the first few articles that I look at, while other days I have to look at fifty or more articles to find something.
