Change article class to "C". It is evident the article was prematurely elevated to B-class, possibly by bot edits, with issues that disqualify the promotion. Otr500 (talk) 02:26, 27 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Name Omitted: Thank you very much. For 62 years I have been healthy, exercised regularly even practiced Hapkido, and still working in the physically demanding oilfield transportation and support sector. My last family doctor had been in 1976. I had a heart attack known as a Widowmaker and a stint two years ago. That can make someone 60-ish feeling 30-ish ---- become a lot older fast. Anyway, my day started with an 8'oclock office visit, confirmation of a long-time issue of a bronchitis flareup that is what I thought, a referral to a lung specialist, and prescriptions. I had a blood workup the previous Monday that concluded that I did not have Covid at that time and nothing indicated I might currently have it. The doctor decided to give me one script, that had apparently shown to be effective, over a steroid shot -- that could of course be the hospital, doctor, and pharmaceutical companies' relationship to advance new medicine. Because of a backlog at pharmacy the medicine wasn't ready until 4:30 pm and WOW! they had two scripts including a Z-pack, a steroid that can take up to 5 days to fully work, but the main one was not in stock. I could not make it back to the doctor in time so had to go to Urgent Care. By 7 pm, another negative Covid test, and a steroid shot, I am feeling immensely lot better.
Concerning the article: I see you have made some improvements since my last visit. Personally, I am not a fan (at first glance) of the numbering system in the "Background" section. Likely editors choice but I prefer more expandable subsections if there are enough sources. I think criteria 2 (reasonably covers the topic) would be better handled with the addition of more current events such as Remembering and rebuilding: Angoon residents commemorate 139 years since bombardment. If we are going to cover 125 years later why not 139 years?
I like the article. A company driver's truck just broke down going to load. Since one of my Jack-of-all-trades is being an automotive and heavy equipment technician, I am going to go along with a mechanic (my vehicle and tools) on a rescue mission. Of course, he is going to drive. I will be back later today so you can ping me again if you care to. -- Otr500 (talk) 12:29, 2 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

As this event was one of the major contributing factors to the territory of Alaska moving from military to civilian control, I have moved it from low importance to mid importance. Name Omitted (talk) 20:16, 30 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
