Past articles

Featured articles. Past articles. 2007/08

Latino
Agree. --DeanStalk 04:28, 22 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. Thorough and lots of citations! -Foxtrot 00:12, 28 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 13:55, 19 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 PlourdeComplain! 21:44, 3 July 2008 (EDT) Agree due to massive rewrite Geoff PlourdeComplain! 21:39, 21 October 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) Agree. --DeanStalk 14:01, 19 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree, per what Philip J. Rayment said. Anyone have anything about the actual origin of the term, or even the history of architecture? JY23 10:16, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

United States Presidential Election, 2008

Agree. Wow, that's a lot of detail. -Foxtrot 20:08, 18 October 2008 (EDT) Agree. --DeanStalk 01:22, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Definitely agree. Great article! Duncantalk 10:44, 23 October 2008 (EDT) Agree. We shouldn't lock the article though when it is presented. Daily changes are needed and it is edited by a number of non-sysops. Learn together 14:20, 25 October 2008 (EDT) Wholeheartedly agree. This is one of the best articles I've read in a long time! JY23 09:38, 26 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) Agree. --DeanStalk 14:01, 19 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree, one sentence sections. Geoff PlourdeComplain! 21:44, 21 October 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) Agree. --DeanStalk 16:16, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Shays' Rebellion
Agree Geoff PlourdeComplain! 00:06, 14 September 2008 (EDT) Agree --DeanStalk 01:04, 9 November 2008 (EST)

Literature

Agree. Nice layout and uncumbersome. -Foxtrot 00:00, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree. Woefully inept and painfully inductive. 3 examples? I would rather make this my new project for expansion. --Limbo 00:13, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree. --DeanStalk 01:22, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Agree. It has been improved. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 07:40, 15 November 2008 (EST) Disagree. Several redlinks, emphasis in the wrong place. JY23 16:49, 27 November 2008 (EST)

Physics
Agree. Haven't had a science article in a while and this one seems fairly well-developed. -Foxtrot 00:00, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree. --DeanStalk 01:22, 22 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree-- red links. DuncanTalk 07:31, 15 November 2008 (EST)

Noh theater
Agree. Extremely well-written article, well sourced, no redlinks. This may be the most deserving article ever! JY23 18:34, 11 November 2008 (EST) Agree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 22:40, 11 November 2008 (EST) Agree. --DeanStalk 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Bible history
Neutral. Fix the redlinks and it would be a good article, but the section lengths need some work. JY23 17:28, 16 November 2008 (EST) Disagree. --DeanStalk 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Robert Heinlein
Disagree. One section, no photos, unimportant topic. JY23 17:21, 7 November 2008 (EST) Disagree. Way too short; I agree with JY23.DuncanTalk 07:31, 15 November 2008 (EST) Disagree. --DeanStalk 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Sculpture
* Agree. --User:Joaquín Martínez, talk 07:00, 9 November 2008 (EST) Agree. --DeanStalk 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Hirohito

KAL 007 Survivors and the Forced Labor Concentration Camps of the Russian Federation
Disagree. Reads like an essay, possibly should be moved to essay section. JY23 18:54, 12 November 2008 (EST) Disagree. --DeanStalk 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Tokyo Rose

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 PlourdeComplain! 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. --DeanStalk 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 PlourdeComplain! 00:06, 14 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. -Foxtrot 00:08, 28 September 2008 (EDT) Agree. --DeanStalk 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. --DeanStalk 20:09, 1 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree. User:Joaquín Martínez

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) Disagree. --DeanStalk 14:01, 19 October 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) Disagree for now. --DeanStalk 14:01, 19 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree Geoff PlourdeComplain! 21:44, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

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) Disagree. --DeanStalk 01:22, 22 October 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) Disagree. Now that the copywritten text has been removed this article is hardly as comprehensive. -Foxtrot 21:06, 24 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree Geoff PlourdeComplain! 21:44, 21 October 2008 (EDT) Disagree-hardly a good theme and way too short. Far too many red links. Duncantalk 10:42, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
