WithdrawI suggest you withdraw this article as you only edited this article twice. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 23:43, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]- Ummm... what? 1st, I don't see anywhere in WP:WIAFL where there's a minimum number of edits required before submitting. 2nd, I had four edits, two listed under my IP rather than my account because my account timed out and I didn't notice. 3rd, if you take the time to compare the 10th of August version with the most recent, you'll see that nearly all the text in the article is new, I re-referenced most of it, and added all of the images.

- On WP:FLC, first prargraph, last sentence, it says, "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list prior to nomination." I was just making sure. Sorry for your inconvience. -- K. Annoyomous24 GO LAKERS! Please reply on my talk page. Thanks. 00:22, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Having looked at the diffs, I'd suggest that Le comte is entitled to consider himself a major contributor and therefore I'm happy to allow this FLC to continue. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all...
- Three paragraphs for the lead kind of seems like a bit much for such a short article. It makes the article seem more choppy.
- It's great that you have so many free images for the list, but I think you might be overdoing it with three lined up across the side like that. Maybe you should reduce it to two images?
- "Mixed team" is linked and a short description (following the i.e.) is given, but then a longer explanation is provided in the next section. It might be best to combine this somehow or rearrange it for fluency in the article.
Hope that helps. Looks good otherwise. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 15:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Tried to juggle the lead and mixed team sections around, and reduced the images to just the poster and the mixed team image. Let me know if it works better. Le comte de monte christo (talk) 17:22, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Much better, but one more thing has to happen before I can support, and that's that the lead has to be copyedited. I think there's some issues with sentence fluency in the lead that need to be addressed and it doesn't read smoothly. I suggest you find someone else who is a native speaker or an expert in English to do this for you. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 01:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look good, links checked out with the link checker tool. Only quibble would be to spell out the abbreviation in the footnotes (TSN in ref 4) Ealdgyth - Talk 14:19, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
