Stub Class?

I'm a tad puzzled over the stub class rating. I don't assess articles, certainly the ones I begin, but I thought stubs were short and/or incomprehensible. Like it says on the quality scale for stubs: The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. I would like to think this article is neither, although it certainly can be improved upon. So could you please explain your assessment?CindyBo 07:12, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would say the best explanation is that the assessment given was incorrect. --KenWalker | Talk 01:57, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
