Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Appointment to the Order of Canada/Attempt 1
This article is a fork from the Order of Canada article, which is also Featured. I do not know if fork articles could become Featured, so I will give this self-nom a shot. And I hope Raul is not getting tired of the Canadian articles that graced this page in the past few weeks either. :) Zscout370 (Sound Off) 08:08, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Comment--all three images are under crown copyright, which states "Information has been released by the Government of Canada with the intent that it be readily available for personal and public non-commercial use", thereby forbidding use by mirrors. This isn't compatible with the GFDL. Any chance we could get some more-free images? Meelar (talk) 15:34, August 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Two photos came directly from the Governor General's website. I can see what I can do about the photos, but I am moving into a house today. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 17:31, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
- Well, if nothing better is available, I suppose it'll have to do (I'm not sure "no free images" is grounds for objection). The actual article is very well done. Meelar (talk) 23:41, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
- Having non-free images can be an objection, since a requirement at WIAFA states "Have images where appropriate, with good captions and acceptable copyright status. However, an article does not have to have a picture to be featured." However, if I can only find images that are Crown Copyright, then I should have to justify why they are fair use.

- Support However I think a phrase needs to be bold in the inroduction --MechBrowman 17:13, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
- What phrase should that be? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 17:31, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
- I recommend "appointed to membership in the Order", also you might want to briefly mention that a non Canadian can be nominated for the Order somewhere in the intro. --MechBrowman 01:17, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
