This article could be expanded on so much, yet it's sadly so short. If you compare it with the vastness of the Victorian Era article, the Jacobean era is weak. I plan, if this go ahead, to put a lot of time and effort into developing the article. I will, however, need others help in doing so, which is the reason I'm nominating it. It could be a large and interesting article on what is a significant period of English history.

I noticed a new section in the Charles Taylor article on Kilari Anand Paul.

Many thousands of companies (perhaps hundreds of thousands) are important in one sector or another in one or more countries. Perhaps each of these companies should, ideally, have at least a stub. But I doubt that most companies should have more than a stub. In any event, I don't think that an article about a company should be a high priority, unless the company has some significance greater than its importance within a sector (e.g., prominence in the news, cultural significance, or unusually high employment). I'd recommend that Yarnalgo create the basic articles -- or longer articles, if Yarnalgo feels it is justified -- about Brine and last week's nominee STX. Yarnalgo clearly has an interest and some knowledge about these companies; who better to create the article? - Scottwiki 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I know little about plants, and don't have much interest in them. But when 300 Wikipedia pages link to the Fabales stub, I do know that there's a problem. (It's currently # 73 on the list of most wanted stubs, and should be higher than that, since many of the higher-ranked entries are no longer stubs.) I don't feel that its Wikispecies entry [3] is sufficient to make up for it, especially since many more people use Wikipedia than Wikispecies.

This nomination is in danger of being removed for insufficient votes. Yet, if it were to remain until Sunday, it would likely be the winning nomination. I propose, therefore, that it should be removed only if and when it is not this week's winner. - Scottwiki 06:23, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Found on the missing articles WikiProject. Very important subject, including portrayals in popular culture like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, etc. Could be modelled after Forensic chemistry.

Many thousands of companies (perhaps hundreds of thousands) are important in one sector or another in one or more countries. Perhaps each of these companies should, ideally, have at least a stub. But I doubt that most companies should have more than a stub. In any event, I don't think that an article about a company should be a high priority, unless the company has some significance greater than its importance within a sector (e.g., prominence in the news, cultural significance, or unusually high employment). I'd recommend that Yarnalgo create the basic articles -- or longer articles, if Yarnalgo feels it is justified -- about Brine and last week's nominee STX. Yarnalgo clearly has an interest and some knowledge about these companies; who better to create the article? - Scottwiki 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I know little about plants, and don't have much interest in them. But when 300 Wikipedia pages link to the Fabales stub, I do know that there's a problem. (It's currently # 73 on the list of most wanted stubs, and should be higher than that, since many of the higher-ranked entries are no longer stubs.) I don't feel that its Wikispecies entry [3] is sufficient to make up for it, especially since many more people use Wikipedia than Wikispecies.

Brine is a major sporting goods company in the United States. They make lacrosse, field hockey, and soccer equipment. It is a well known company that deserves an article.

Many thousands of companies (perhaps hundreds of thousands) are important in one sector or another in one or more countries. Perhaps each of these companies should, ideally, have at least a stub. But I doubt that most companies should have more than a stub. In any event, I don't think that an article about a company should be a high priority, unless the company has some significance greater than its importance within a sector (e.g., prominence in the news, cultural significance, or unusually high employment). I'd recommend that Yarnalgo create the basic articles -- or longer articles, if Yarnalgo feels it is justified -- about Brine and last week's nominee STX. Yarnalgo clearly has an interest and some knowledge about these companies; who better to create the article? - Scottwiki 16:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you Scottwiki, I have will do this and all ready have started an STX article. I won't put any more company articles on COTW.-- Yarnalgo 22:30, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I feel about this nomination much as I do for the nomination of the Brine company. There are many thousands of films (like many thousands of companies) that are significant -- but does every film deserve a detailed article? Ideally, perhaps, but I doubt that it's a priority unless the film is a cultural touchstone or has some other unusual importance. - Scottwiki 17:59, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I doubt that it needs to be a lengthy article. But it should be more than two sentences. I haven't researched the topic; but I imagine that one could write a lively little history and description of cultural significance. Moreover, a colorful image of a bubble bath would be very soothing. :-) - Scottwiki 02:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I thought you may have been drunk(!) to nominate this but I wholeheartedly support the inclusion of lovely picture of a bath full of bubbles. I may attempt to create one, regardless of whether this collaboration is accepted! Budgiekiller 08:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Seeing "Bubble bath" I was a little afraid of what this world is coming to, but after looking at the article I support this nomination 100%! Yarnalgo 03:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, I'm not sure how this article can be so short when Bubble Bath is such a large market, in the washing/bathing industry at least.

I know little about plants, and don't have much interest in them. But when 300 Wikipedia pages link to the Fabales stub, I do know that there's a problem. (It's currently # 73 on the list of most wanted stubs, and should be higher than that, since many of the higher-ranked entries are no longer stubs.) I don't feel that its Wikispecies entry [6] is sufficient to make up for it, especially since many more people use Wikipedia than Wikispecies.

This article is nominated as AID, but following discussion, it was agreed to change its nomination to COTW. Although it has a considerable length it was also agreed that it should be considered a stub, there is no much information on the subject itself. This article would interest, I believe, a large number of contributors, specially does who make biology-related contributions. The article is about a generic term and has many possibilities of following his sister article Fauna (animals) also nominated as COTW.

Weak agree on move to AID - this article has numerous factual errors and its very basis of equating 'Air Transport' to 'Aviation' is incorrect. Possibly needs deletion and a complete rewrite Crum375 13:42, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Granaries have been important in history, agriculture, society and economy .They are still very important.

There is a need for an article to describe the Linux community, it can refer to websites and magazines such as LinuxQuestions.org and what is listed at Linux#See also. It could also discuss in broad terms the extent to which communities exist for specific distributions and how these relate to each other and the whole. It could refer to Linux advocacy activities and Linux User Groups. I think this is a sufficiently widespread social phenomenon to deserve an article.
