Proposed for featuring

The following articles will probably be moved to the list above in the order listed if nobody has any objection or alternative suggestion.

New suggestions can be added at the end of this list.

Deconstruction

Disagree. Unimportant topic of interest mostly to liberals. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Important topic, but not described correctly. Article contains at least one contradiction ("reader response" both wrong and right). --Ed Poor ^Talk 16:40, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
Agree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 09:14, 26 August 2008 (EDT) Fixed red links and improved. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 00:16, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. I'm not qualified to judge it's accuracy, but it is too obscure and not written at a suitable level. Philip J. Rayment 10:24, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Not long enough, too many red links, not nearly enough images that explain the text, I just didn't understand what was going on in that article. JY23 21:31, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Holy Days

Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Too short. Philip J. Rayment 10:29, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
Agree, will be improved. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 09:21, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree, too short, far too many red links JY23 18:31, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
Neutral. Would like to see what it looks like after more information added; it could be a good article. Learn together 16:02, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

Architecture

AGree. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Lead section is too short. Individual sections need to be better developed. Geoff Plourde^Complain! 21:44, 3 July 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. It's coverage of the topic is too limited, briefly describing different architectural styles, but nothing more. Philip J. Rayment 10:16, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
Agree. It has been improved. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 20:33, 16 October 2008 (EDT)
Still disagree, but... It still covers almost nothing except architectural styles. The description of architecture itself is limited to the first two sentences plus a further sentence quoting a dictionary definition. There's nothing about the goals of architecture, the methods that architects use, the profession of architecture, etc. If this article was moved to Architectural styles, then perhaps it would be good enough to qualify. But for its current title, its coverage is still far too limited. Philip J. Rayment 10:49, 17 October 2008 (EDT) Done. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 11:02, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

Great Flood
Agree, although the missing sections under Effects of the Flood should be filled in or removed. Philip J. Rayment 10:14, 8 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 21:30, 1 October 2008 (EDT) Agree. But it would be nice to finish the missing sections. Learn together 16:04, 8 October 2008 (EDT)

Kosher

Liberty Bell
Agree. Taj 22:36, 7 August 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Essential topic, but far too short. Anything about the history of the Bell that someone can put? JY23 21:37, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Vitamin C
Agree. Taj 22:36, 7 August 2008 (EDT) Agree. Didn't realize I had to voice agreement when I added it to the list. -Foxtrot 00:08, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Operation Iraqi Freedom
Agree. -Foxtrot 00:08, 28 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. Good length, citations, and images. DuncanB 21:28, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

George Washington

F/A-18 Hornet

Agree, been on the "Most Viewed Articles" list for a while now, but someone needs to work on the red links. JY23 20:39, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Public transport
Agree (I did write it!) Philip J. Rayment 10:14, 8 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. Good work! --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 22:35, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

Shays' Rebellion
Agree Geoff Plourde^Complain! 00:06, 14 September 2008 (EDT)

Latino
Agree. --DeanS^talk 04:28, 22 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. Thorough and lots of citations! -Foxtrot 00:12, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

Alger Hiss
Agree. Found very informative, anti-Communist topic, but far too many red links. #1denverfan 19:31, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

Jesus Christ

United States Presidential Election, 2008
Agree. Wow, that's a lot of detail. -Foxtrot 20:08, 18 October 2008 (EDT)

Judaism

Past Nominations

The following articles were proposed and determined not to be suitable for featuring. If the article has been improved to the point where it is of sufficient quality to be featured, move it back to Proposed for Featuring. Click the show link after each entry to see why it was rejected.

Colorado Springs
Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Too short; a good start but needs more info; too many red links. Taj 21:21, 14 July 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Too short. Philip J. Rayment 10:29, 7 September 2008 (EDT) Disagree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 10:09, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

Johns Hopkins University
Disagree. Too short. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Underdeveloped. Foxtrot 22:01, 14 July 2008 (EDT) Disagree Unfortunately this article is far too short to feature at this time. Geoff Plourde^Complain! 19:35, 1 September 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Too short. Philip J. Rayment 10:29, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

Amused To Death

Disagree. Unimportant topic and drug influenced album. This isn't Wikipedia. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 10:10, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Poorly written, unimportant topic. Serious rewrite needed before featuring. #1denverfan 19:32, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. --DeanS^talk 19:49, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree, per what #1denverfan said. Philip J. Rayment 06:13, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Battle of Gettysburg

Disagree; I do not feel that this article fully covers the battle, particularly the 20th Maine. Geoff Plourde^Complain! 00:06, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
Agree. -Foxtrot 00:08, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
Agree. --DeanS^talk 00:16, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree; I do not think that public domain material from the U.S. government should be featured material (such as country articles, ship articles, etc) unless the article has been extensively re-worked by any of the editors to make it better. Mexico (see above) may fall into that category. Karajou 01:06, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree, for the same reason as Karajou, and in fact we rejected this article once before for the same reason, so I'm moving it to the "Past nominations" section now. Now that we have that "Past nominations" sections, hopefully this won't happen again with this article.

Sausage

Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. TonyT 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. No references despite questionable statements and too many red links. I don't think the length is a problem. Philip J. Rayment
Disagree. Nothing against sausages, but hardly a front page Big Theme. Bugler 07:00, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. --DeanS^talk 20:09, 1 October 2008 (EDT)
Disagree. User:Joaquín Martínez
