Thanks for filing this. I think we discussed running this for all Stub/Start/C classes? So that would include the following categories:

{{clc|Start-Class articles conflicting with C-Class project-independent quality rating}}
{{clc|Stub-Class articles conflicting with C-Class project-independent quality rating}}
{{clc|C-Class articles conflicting with Start-Class project-independent quality rating}}
{{clc|Stub-Class articles conflicting with Start-Class project-independent quality rating}}
{{clc|Start-Class articles conflicting with Stub-Class project-independent quality rating}}
{{clc|C-Class articles conflicting with Stub-Class project-independent quality rating}}

:Yes, the bot can handle this. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 12:33, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

:{{yo|MSGJ}} In testing, I have found that some of the C-class articles would be eligible for a B-class rating. Should they be rated B or C? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:28, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

::I think the bot should rate according to its algorithm. Could it produce a log so that we can spot check a sample manually? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:58, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Yes, it can. Normally on WikiProject:Military History we double-check all the articles that have been Bot-rated as B-class. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:24, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
