This list is as complete as I can make it with the available evidence. A little tweaking could get it yo Featured status. Abbott75 ☺ 01:28, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose: The lead needs significant expansion and the
citations do not follow Wikipedia policy.-- Underneath-it-All 01:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]- Actually, there is no such thing as a "citation policy." What underneath probably means is that they need to be properly formatted (I recommend {{cite web}}) and placed (no space before the <ref> tag).

- Thanks for the tips, I'll implement them now. Also, remember WP:SOFIXIT :P Abbott75 ☺ 02:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Could somebody help out with the identical notes? I have a terrible headache and can't figure it out for myself. Thanks. Abbott75 ☺ 02:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Abbott75, your WP:SOFIXIT comment isn't realy applicable here. It is your responsibility to polish the article and try to meet the guidelines before offering up the list for FL candidacy. It sounds like you don't think it is ready yet, so Peer review may be the place to go for ideas on getting there. If you want help, wikiprojects are the place to ask. Lots of editors, when preparing an article, scan the FL and FA candidate lists to see what sort of issues come up. It doesn't help them if articles mysteriously just become good enough. In addition, the reviewers here and at peer-review just don't have the time to help fix all the articles. Finally, there's often more than one way to do it (e.g. citation templates vs formatting by hand) and the choice is yours. Colin°Talk 12:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- All refs have been converted to an appropriate template. Also, I think WP:SOFIXIT is entirely appropriate. This is a wiki, it is everybody's responsibility to fix anything they see wrong. Abbott75 ☺ 01:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
