Community input is welcome here. Tony (talk) 11:01, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

Looking for a new delegate

Since I would like to get a new delegate for the process to balance out the workload (Grapple X seems to be inactive for a while), please indicate if you'd like to take the mantle. Note that I have a criteria so I can make a decision. GamerPro64 15:25, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Update I removed Grapple of his delegate status right now. He can ask for it back if he's more active but for right now its just me when it comes to handling the closings. GamerPro64 17:31, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Glee (season 1) GT

I didn't contribute anything to the topic, but I realized that all the articles in the scope of the topic are GA:

I haven't checked all 22 episodes, but even if all are GA's, it would still need List of songs in Glee (season 1) made into an FL. Courcelles 05:46, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

That list is now an FL, but there are two album articles which probably should be GAs (see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Glee task force#Season 1 Good Topic). Adabow (talk) 00:36, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Manhattan Project

I am assembling a good topic from the Manhattan Project. The list below reflects the navigation box. There has been some effort to keep it down to 64 articles. At the moment it has 65. It is quite possible that someone might write another worthy article. There are a lot more biographies but the effort has been to keep it down ro the most significant ones. Is the topic too large?

Manhattan Project

65 articles

I don't think so; that's about the size of some of our largest ship GT/FTs.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:30, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. And having had the privilege of reviewing the timeline, I think this topic is certainly worthy of such thorough coverage. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:32, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

The topic is not too large, BUT I would prefer having an article on People involved with the Manhattan Project. Nergaal (talk) 16:49, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Hurricane Isabel

So, one of the articles in the Hurricane Isabel topic was merged. How do we go about removing one article from a topic? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

You can go ahead and edit the Wikipedia:Featured topics/Hurricane Isabel page directly, since it's not an addition of a new article or removal of an article that still exists. Since this pushes the topic to 50% featured, you then untransclude the topic from the Good Topics page and add it to the Featured Topics page, and adjust the templates on the talk pages of the articles in the topic. --Pres N 04:05, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

I took care of moving the topic from GT to FT. I think it takes a while for it to update to show its now a Featured Topic though. GamerPro64 14:39, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Found the issue. The Canada article was still tagged as being part of the topic so I removed it. GamerPro64 14:51, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

So similar to Isabel, the tropical cyclone project recently agreed to merging 1978 January subtropical storm, which was part of Wikipedia:Featured topics/Off-season Atlantic hurricanes. Is there an easy way to remove that? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:15, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Once again I did this and now its not part of the topic anymore. Thank you for calling attention to it. GamerPro64 21:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, wasn't sure how easy or hard it was. The article was merged only a short time ago. I just wanted to finish everything associated with it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Once again, we agreed to merge Hurricane Patsy (1959). I removed it from Wikipedia:Featured topics/Category 5 Pacific hurricanes, but wasn't sure how much else had to be done, since its merger qualifies it for FT status, I believe. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Seeing how much there was in the topic, as in all the crossing overs the articles had with other topics, it was hard to make sure all the numbers were correct. But overall, I updated the topic to Featured Topic status and all that. GamerPro64 15:46, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Hopefully Patsy wasn't too bad, since it was only in the one topic. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:55, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
