:*Agree. A math article with detailed explanation and examples. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 18:27, 1 March 2009 (EST)

:*Disagree. It is certainly detailed, but seems to explain things at a fairly advanced level (but that is a non-math person speaking). Also, items that seem necessary for the proof (Square pyramidal numbers, etc) are redlinks. --[[User:JessicaT|KotomiT]]<sup>[[User talk:JessicaT|''nandeyanen?'']]</sup> 07:24, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

:*Agree. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 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.  [[User:Karajou|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.

Featured articles

Committee members

The Featured articles are posted on the Main Page each week.

Articles may be submitted to the list of featured articles by listing them on the talk page. Please add them to the end of the list.

Articles will normally be featured in the order listed, but the order may be changed by the committee in some cases.

    • Articles listed here will be considered for featuring and voted on by the committee members. Editors may offer their own comments (on the talk page) and are welcome to help improve the listed articles!


Past articles

Featured articles. Past articles. 2007/08

because of his 200 years anniversary.
  • Agree, I made it. --Joaquín Martínez 09:22, 3 March 2009 (EST)
  • Agree. --₮K/Admin/Talk 08:10, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 09:18, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree tentatively, although would it be possible to expand more on the artist's life? --KotomiTnandeyanen? 07:24, 18 March 2009 (EDT)

Current article

  • Disagree. (It is a very good article, well written and reasoned. My primary concern, looking at it within the context of the featured article is that it is more of an "opinion piece" and I felt that on those grounds it did not really suit my criteria for a "featured article". Where I do think it could be used, would be under the mainpage's "Highlighted article", which would mean that not only could it be featured for longer, but would be more in line with the aims of that section.)--KotomiTnandeyanen? 03:19, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 09:55, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. This is a superlative and positive-message essay. --₮K/Admin/Talk 06:28, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Neutral. Like Jessica, I have mixed feelings. I think it's an interesting and well-argued premise and so I think it should be featured. However, I also feel featured articles should be mainspace and not essay space. Perhaps we could have a featured essay? Since there are fewer essays than articles, such a section would not have to be changed as frequently. -Foxtrot 06:47, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. Excellent proposal. --Joaquín Martínez 08:35, 8 April 2009 (EDT)

Future articles

The following articles should be checked for any improvements that can be made before they are posted to the Main Page.

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.

  • Agree. Probably the most exemplary article on how to pitch math at multiple levels of understanding. -Foxtrot 18:32, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --KotomiTnandeyanen? 07:24, 18 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 10:46, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --₮K/Admin/Talk 14:07, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. It would not be the lengthiest article but good nonetheless--jpatt 01:47, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. I like the idea of highlighting the "unsung" heroes. --KotomiTnandeyanen? 06:30, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --₮K/Admin/Talk 08:10, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 09:18, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. Resubmitting. Editor has put a tremendous amount of effort into this and has fixed the red-links, which led to its previous exclusion. --KotomiTnandeyanen? 04:40, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 10:46, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --₮K/Admin/Talk 14:07, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --KotomiTnandeyanen? 03:19, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Disagree. Too many redlinks. At least start stubs for the roster members. --DeanStalk 09:55, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Disagree. Before moving on to European Football, I think we should feature American Baseball, Football or Basketball. --₮K/Admin/Talk 06:28, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --₮K/Admin/Talk 14:07, 2 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. --DeanStalk 09:55, 7 April 2009 (EDT)
  • Agree. Now that it has one of my favorite crosses. --Foxtrot 06:43, 8 April 2009 (EDT)
