{{fa|Riemann integral|hide=yes|
:*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)
:*Disagree. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 10:46, 30 March 2009 (EDT)
:*Disagree. --[[User:TK|'''₮K''']]<sub><small><small>/Admin</small></small></sub><sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk]]</sup> 14:07, 2 April 2009 (EDT)

{{fa|Colorado Springs|hide=yes|
:*Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. [[User:TonyT|TonyT]] 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Johns Hopkins University|hide=true|
:*Disagree. Too short. [[User:TonyT|TonyT]] 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree. Underdeveloped. [[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 22:01, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
:*'''Disagree''' Unfortunately this article is far too short to feature at this time. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geoff Plourde]]<sup>[[User_talk:Geo.plrd|Complain!]]</sup> 19:35, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree.  Too short.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:29, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Amused To Death|hide=true|
:*Disagree. Unimportant topic and drug influenced album. This isn't Wikipedia. [[User:TonyT|TonyT]] 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 10:10, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree. Poorly written, unimportant topic. Serious rewrite needed before featuring. [[User:JY23|#1denverfan]] 19:32, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 19:49, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree, per what #1denverfan said.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 06:13, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Battle of Gettysburg|hide=true|
:*Disagree; I do not feel that this article fully covers the battle, particularly the 20th Maine. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geoff Plourde]]<sup>[[User_talk:Geo.plrd|Complain!]]</sup> 00:06, 14 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Agree. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 00:08, 28 September 2008 (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.

:*Disagree. Too short. Too many red links. [[User:TonyT|TonyT]] 12:40, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Deconstruction|hide=yes|
:*Disagree. Unimportant topic of interest mostly to liberals. [[User:TonyT|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). --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:40, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
:*Agree. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk:Joaquín Martínez|talk]] 09:14, 26 August 2008 (EDT) Fixed red links and improved. --[[User:Joaquín Martínez]], [[User talk: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.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|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. [[User:JY23|JY23]] 21:31, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 14:01, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

:*Disagree, too short, far too many red links [[User:JY23|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. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 16:02, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
:*Disagree for now. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 14:01, 19 October 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Liberty Bell|hide=yes|
:*Agree. [[User:Taj|Taj]] 22:36, 7 August 2008 (EDT)

{{fa|Physics|hide=yes|

{{fa|Bible history|hide=yes|
:* Neutral. Fix the redlinks and it would be a good article, but the section lengths need some work. [[User:JY23|JY23]] 17:28, 16 November 2008 (EST)

{{fa|KAL 007 Survivors and the Forced Labor Concentration Camps of the Russian Federation|hide=yes|

:*Disagree. --[[User:DeanS|DeanS<sup>talk</sup>]] 11:00, 28 November 2008 (EST)
:*Disagree. I think this was on Main Page before. --[[User:TK|₮K]]<sup>[[User_Talk:TK|/Talk!]]</sup> 13:34, 5 December 2008 (EST)
:*Agree, of course. This was not on main page. This was - [[Korean Airlines Flight 007]]. I think the remark above about this reading like an essay may be right. I just don't know the exact line between "essay" and "article". Can there be a "featured essay" as a "featured article"

{{fa|A-7 Corsair II|hide=yes|
:*Disagree. Reads too much like a schematic. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 18:26, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
:*Disagree. Not a bad article per se, but not convinced it is worthy of front page. Maybe with an expansion of the history of the plane? --[[User:JessicaT|KotomiT]]<sup>[[User talk:JessicaT|''nandeyanen?'']]</sup> 06:30, 17 March 2009 (EDT)
