Good observation, Kath.
I've been wondering whether to point out this detail -- the phrase "good
article review" has been used a little inaccurately in this discussion.
A "good article assessment" is what Laura is currently going through, as
distinct from a "good article review" (what Kath has just pointed out)
which is essentially an appeal of an assessment that is believed to be
problematic.
Good Article Review is an option *after* the assessment and related
discussion is complete. It's sort of like appealing a court decision;
you identify the specific thing that you think was done wrong, and
somebody will take that into consideration.
While the assessment's still underway though, I think the approach Laura
is taking (seeking out additional perspectives) is the right way to go
about it.
