Overview of Chrisye[edit]
- Contributor(s): Crisco 1492
I believe this topic meets the criteria because it provides a detailed overall view of the subject. Other articles (albums, songs, singles) would be in sub-topics (i.e. Chrisye discography and Chrisye songs) -- — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- I think Seindah Rembulan needs to be included too, since he actually played in it, in a major role. Nergaal (talk) 02:38, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- His films are included in his discography, and theoretically could be a videography sub-topic (with Gita Cinta dari SMA as the other video). That being said, Seindah Rembulan is nearly forgotten; it would certainly be undue weight to give it special focus when it gets, at most, a passing mention in most any biography of the singer. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:25, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support. I feel the lists adequately cover the expected scope here. There's obviously room to turn each list into a subtopic but that's not vital at this point. GRAPPLE X 23:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:44, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support. No reason to oppose at this point. Great work! TBrandley 23:46, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look! — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support, but don't see the need for the "overview of...." in the topic title. Surely every FT is by definition an overview of the topic..........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 22:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. As opposed to a simple "Chrisye" topic, which may be construed as including his albums (about 17 articles and counting) and songs (another 5 articles), when the sheer numbers support having subtopics. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:35, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support – Short but awesome. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 21:12, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Move (Third Day album)[edit]
- Contributor(s): Toa Nidhiki05
Album meets all required criteria and the pages themselves are all GA-quality. --Toa Nidhiki05 01:39, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Revelation (Third Day album)[edit]
- Contributor(s): Toa Nidhiki05
All three articles have passed GA and are of good quality, and the topic itself meets all criteria. --Toa Nidhiki05 01:29, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Support Everything looks good. Statυs (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Support. All articles are in good shape, topic has a good scope. GRAPPLE X 14:22, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Those articles look good, and ready for GTC. TBrandley 23:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - Prose is rather choppy on "Born Again" (I'm looking at #Chart performance), and both could do with two columns for their personnel (keep white space to the minimum). Otherwise looks fine. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:39, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've done the columns listing myself; if you feel the prose is still within the remit of GA then I'll promote this topic. GRAPPLE X 18:30, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- For GA I guess it's okay. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:03, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Protected cruisers of Germany[edit]
This topic encompasses all of the protected cruisers built by the Imperial German Navy in the 1880s and 1890s. They served overseas extensively and were involved in numerous incidents, including the seizure of Tsingtao, China. They were used for secondary duties during World War I and were all disposed of shortly thereafter. By the way, promoting this topic will require the merging of Wikipedia:Featured topics/Irene class cruisers. Parsecboy (talk) 00:49, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Solid as always. You know, every one of these topics I see nudges me that little bit further towards sorting out the Irish navy's Róisín class. Don't make me do it. GRAPPLE X 02:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well, between Sturm and I, you might not have much choice ;) Parsecboy (talk) 11:59, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, given what Parsec and Sturm have coming down the line... I'll just say to ask if you need any help. ;-) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:56, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Mythology of The X-Files, Volume 4[edit]
"Provenance"- "Providence"
- "William"
- "The Truth"
- Contributor(s): Trust Is All You Need, Grapple X, Gen. Quon
I present you with the fourth and final installment of The X-Files' mythology series. In this collection, you will see the return and then disappearance of Fox Mulder, the switch from Mulder and Scully to Doggett and Reyes, and some poopy episodes featuring "Super Soldiers". Also included is the series' finale. I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes included in a DVD set, which limits it to a well-defined scope. The articles follow a solid formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other. In addition, the individual episode pages read as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, but also stand on their own and present their information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --Gen. Quon (Talk) 16:25, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support. No reason to oppose; excellent work. TBrandley 16:27, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support Haven't seen the last two in this topic yet, but hooray for more X-Files topics. igordebraga ≠ 02:23, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

The X-Files (season 9)[edit]
- "Hellbound"
- "Provenance"
- "Providence"
- "Audrey Pauley"
- "Underneath"
- "Improbable"
- "Scary Monsters"
- "Jump the Shark"
- "William"
- "Release"
- "Sunshine Days"
- "The Truth"
- Contributor(s): Trust Is All You Need, TBrandley, Gen. Quon
And here we have the final season of The X-Files. Unfortunately, it's almost completely Duchovny-free and Gillian Anderson's Scully has basically been reduced to a recurring role. The two new leads (Robert Patrick as John Doggett and Annabeth Gish as Monica Reyes) just didn't click on-screen, IMO. I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' ninth season, which limits it to a well-defined scope. The articles follow a solid formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other. In addition, the individual episode pages read as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, but also stand on their own and present their information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:04, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- Support. I've reviewed a whole chunk of those articles. I believe they are all up to the same quality. TBrandley 02:00, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Support Made a few small changes here and there, but everything is solid. The main article and the first episode, which were promoted to GA a while ago, have been accordingly updated. Glimmer721 talk 20:20, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
- Support still need to finish the series (currently on "Trust No 1") but an admirable work. igordebraga ≠ 03:30, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
- Support – More X-Files? Oh, alright. Great topics, but a pain to promote. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 04:39, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
- May I ask why? :P--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:44, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think its because he hates the ninth season, or something. If that's it, I agree. LOL. TBrandley 22:55, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'd agree with that as well.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:36, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
- He's delegate. When promoting, he has to add "Good Topic" to every single article on the topic (which in case are 19, but the number can be even bigger!). No wonder it's a pain. igordebraga ≠ 21:52, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
