[Gendergap] Helping get a female sport article to GA article status

[Pete Forsyth]

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.
