~~Delete. Dicdef written by an underachiever. Denni ☯ 23:15, 2004 Jun 20 (UTC)~~ Excellent rewrite, Change to keep. Denni☯ 08:54, 2004 Jun 24 (UTC)
- But the wonderful thing about Wikipeia is that anyone can edit articles, even those that aren't bitter underachievers ;-). User:Rossami has completely rewritten this article and it's now a perfectly nice stub. — Lady Lysine Ikinsile 04:07, 2004 Jun 21 (UTC)
Keep. Rewritten version is a valuable article (maybe not even deserving the "stub" message) about the educational context; room for expansion about other uses. JamesMLane 12:06, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Question[edit]

Who is Catherine Raley, and why was her name considered relevant in reverse? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.19.121 (talk) 09:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV[edit]

This article is rife with npov issues - seems extremely biased against high achievement in some sections (specifically, university students and workplace). This issue was apparently raised before based upon the talk page history. -- Seppi333 (talk) 17:07, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
