Change the reason for rating to n/a? And delete the sentence of the
summary beginning "Rated PG"? That's confusing, given the rating for
the story is G?

I apologize for not noticing that the rating on that was still listed as G
when I approved it. The rating *is* PG on the site where it is archived. I
am not sure how it came to be G on the nomination.

I guess I just saw my PG still there in the summary, and did not see that it
was different above.

So the reason for rating should read: For graphic depiction of alchohol
abuse and you could move that off the summary.

I did not notice this the first time through on the check ballot post
either.
