Atlantis

Self-nom, Saw it as Article Improvement Drive article of the week. Saw it improve as the week progressed. It really deserves featured article status as it was improveds substantally. It deserves featured article status because it can show what we can really do!!! Tarret 01:09, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Support This article certainly went from one with entrenched myth and non NPOV to one that has far more factual content. Congrats to those that put the effort in to make it a very good article.Steers82 04:27, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object Any references? An article can't be featured if there are no lists of references used for this article. Pentawing 04:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object - I like how the article has improved with the help of the Article Improvement Drive. But this needs resources, and should probally undergo a peer review as well. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 06:36, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object – Expand the lead and smaller sections. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:55, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object. Can you go through it and chop up some of the overly long, complicated sentence? (E.g., 'Emanuel Velikovsky discovered many records of lands that had become submerged in middle east areas around the mediterranean and also new islands that had risen out of the sea in historic times, the myths of Atlantis may in part be true or they may be the figment of a wild imagination but of the fact that these changes in land and sea did happen is certain from the records of witnesses to the facts.') Grammar here and elsewhere needs fixing. Reference numbers tied to a few of your more important, specific assertions, would increase the credibility. Allow the interested reader to locate the sources by page number—at least in a few instances. Tony 02:38, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- You're joking, right? BrianSmithson 20:52, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think Tobyk777 is confusing this article with the one at Atlantis (Stargate). — Wackymacs 19:29, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object Needs references, and the see also section could be expanded. It has improved a lot since before the Article Improvement Drive, but its still not quite there yet. — Wackymacs 16:00, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object I'm not sure if its important, but Jacques Cousteau did some research into Atlantis concluding that the Santorini volcano destroyed it. I think there's a good deal more out there on the subject and this article is only the tip of the iceberg. *Exeunt* Ganymead ^Dialogue? 18:28, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Object. Sources, sources, sources. — mark ✎ 21:53, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
