This set of articles covers all of the National Treasures of Japan. --bamse (talk) 22:27, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment there are some deadlinks in (at least) the sculptures list. See book report for details. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 22:37, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. In fact the dead link in the sculptures list was only a forgotten {{dead link}} and already contained an archived url. But indeed some of the other lists had dead external links. I removed the dead link template from the sculptures list and fixed dead external links in all of the articles in the topic. bamse (talk) 23:30, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Still a few dead links in... List of National Treasures of Japan (writings: others), List of National Treasures of Japan (crafts: others), List of National Treasures of Japan (residences), and List of National Treasures of Japan (temples).

- Hopefully all fixed now. (They had just turned dead.) bamse (talk) 00:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

- Support Amazing work, I reviewed several of these at FLC, and I'm happy to see the topic finished. Courcelles 07:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support I've been waiting for this nominate to come for a long time. Arsenikk (talk) 11:49, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support with the caveat that I've been involved as copyeditor - which in my view is trivial given the tremendous amount of quality work and research that went into building these pages. Truthkeeper (talk) 00:15, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Great work. Gage (talk) 19:12, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Brilliant work. I have also been waiting for this to finish and come up here. - DSachan (talk) 00:48, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- Support If someone asks why we bother with featured lists or topics, you could do a lot worse than to point them in this direction. —WFC— 14:55, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

I believe these lists fulfill the criteria of a featured topic. All three of the Grand Tour lists are included with the overview list as well. Therefore, the topic is fundamentally covered with no gaps. NapHit (talk) 11:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. You need to create a book. Otherwise this looks good. Ucucha 11:50, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

- Comment – generally excellent, but a few things I've picked up on...
- In the List of Grand Tour general classification winners, the lead says "When there is a tie between cyclists they are listed alphabetically." but this doesn't seem to be true – it's alphabetically by Giro wins, then alphabetically by Tour wins, then alphabetically by Vuelta wins. Not sure how to reword it, really... bit awkard to explain the current sorting method :)
- Same list, demonyms: firstly, it says "Russia", not "Russian", and then "Kazakhstani" when our article on Kazakhstan says the preferred demonym is "Kazakh".
- Moving on to List of Giro d'Italia general classification winners, "In 1980, Frenchman Bernard Hinault who up to this point had won two Tour de France's," – Tours de France, not Tour de France's.
- "Spaniard Miguel Indurain, winner of five Tour's," – no apostrophe needed; not contracting anything.
- Didn't spot any problems with the TdF list. Nor with the Vuelta one. Beyond the following...
- Not too fussed on this personally, but the nationality on the Giro/TdF lists has the country name instead of demonym -- i.e. Italy instead of Italian. The overall list and the Vuelta list use demonyms. Dunno how much that matters, though... They're consistent for each list individually, they're just not consistent inter-list. Just pedantic, really :)
- Think that's all I've got for the moment. Will happily support once this things are dealt with -- nothing major, after all. Regards. Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 22:39, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments I've dealt with everything. Regarding the alphabetical listing, I've changed it to alphabetical by tour which is what was intended, should clear that up. I've also removed the demonyms in all the lists and they all list the country know, and I dealt with the prose issues as well. Cheers NapHit (talk) 23:02, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support -- all dealt with; they look great. Kudos! Buttons to Push Buttons (talk | contribs) 11:12, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

All notable storms in the season has articles, and all are good. Only one storm, Fran, might get an article in the future, but that's contingent on finding info from Cape Verde (which has proven rather elusive so far). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:41, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Good work. Gage (talk) 05:20, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

The topic covers all of the episodes produced and aired during the first season of the animated comedy series Family Guy. I would like to promote this topic to good topic, as I believe it meets all of the criteria. Pedro J. the rookie 23:57, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
