message: The USFSA's current television deal with ABC Sports amounts to $100 million over eight years and accounts for nearly 75% of its revenue. The contract will expire in 2007. Note: ISU went from $22 million to $5 million per year for ESPN when their contract expired. —Pelladon 21:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Not sure how to place it in the main article. I kinda like having in the discussion area first. Plus, more time for sourcing. —Pelladon 06:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

text: This is incorrect.  The association's current bylaws (available for download on their web site in PDF form here start out:  "The name of this organization shall be “THE UNITED STATES FIGURE SKATING ASSOCIATION.” For all purposes this name may be abbreviated to read “USFSA.”"  The "U.S. Figure Skating" name is simply a branding thing.

How does one improve an article's score?
:Do you mean the class, anonymous? See the WikiProject banner at the top of this talk page. Edit the page, and you will see this at the top:  I have bolded in the vital condition to change. Be sure to read the assessment page (which for time-saving measures, I can't publish) to see if the article is fit to move up a class. If it isn't, you can do what everyone else does and improve it.
Also, sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~) so we know who said what and when. Thank you.--The  wikifyer's corner 18:18, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: You may be better off asking the Version 1.0 Editorial Team.  I'd never heard of this "score" metric before.  At a quick glance, I'd say you should start by requesting a quality re-assessment from WikiProject Figure Skating and WikiProject United States; if you've made significant improvements, the "C-class" rating is probably no longer accurate.  After that, you should make sure that the article is well linked from appropriate articles elsewhere in Wikipedia.  Powers T 12:48, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea but if you ask User:CBM he will know he wrote the bot. I would be interested to know that myself actually. I have never really taken the time to figure that out. --Kumioko (talk) 13:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

text: As near as I can tell, making any of those changes won't directly affect this "score" you're so worried about.  The score won't budge until one of the metrics I identified above changes; the article assessment, in particular, is a human-determined rating that will only change when someone re-assesses the article -- it doesn't change automatically when the article is improved.

thread_title:  Improving an Article's Assessment Score? 

message: Per your request on my talk page here are a few things that might help.
*No need for references in the lede. Normally the lede should not have referencs because its meant to be a summery of the article and the information should already be in the article and sourced.
*I recommend shorteing the Table of Contents
*There are a few places missing citations.For example the sections Governing Council, Permanent Committees and several others are completely missing. Several sections are missing some.
*The images should have alt text but this isn't required until you get to A or FA levels.
*The references need to be cleaned up so they dont display the full url. The URL should be linked to the title so when the title is selected it takes you to the URL. There are a couple different ways to do this and I can show you if you need help.
*Several areas need expansion --Kumioko (talk) 13:52, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
