== Proposed revision/replacement ==
I propose to rename this article "Credit rating agency", to retain only a small fraction of its content and to add the following material about credit rating agencies:
: Their methods of risk assessment;
: A Tutorials subpage note on their errors (such as  [[crash of 2008/Tutorials#Sources of risk-management errors|this]]);
: The part played by their incompetence in triggering the financial crisis (as revealed by  evidence to various independent enquiries);
: Regulatory measures and proposals;
: A timeline of their major downgrades of commercial and sovereign debt;
: External links to the agencies and to their newly-appointed regulatory authorities.
I also propose to create a separate linked article entitled "Sovereign default" to cover the causes and history of sovereign defaults,  and of recoveries from them.
