NY Route 28 joins the list of New York featured topic nominations, and again, replicating a similar topic in Michigan (M-28). This is about 3 years of work loaded into a 4 article FTC, and one considered for a long time. It is a co-nomination by
User:TwinsMetsFan and I. This is also my first featured nomination of anything in 2011 so. :) Mitch32(

Confirming my co-nomination. All four articles are of high quality, and I believe this collection of articles is truly worthy of the name "featured topic". – TMF19:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)reply
Coincidentally, that was also a point raised during M-28's FTC. It's stunning how many parallels there are between the two like numbered routes... In any event, if the overlap does become an issue, I'd rather see those topics get eliminated in favor of this one. That, of course, was also the approach taken during M-28's FTC to resolve the issue. – TMF05:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)reply
Support - distinct, solid topic of high quality. Disclaimer: I think I nominated the main NY 28 article for FA a couple years ago, but I don't consider myself a key contributor to its status.

Although now forgotten by all except for football historians, the Wanderers dominated English football in the 1870s, winning five of the first seven FA Cup Finals. This topic includes the main article on the club and the articles on all five of their Cup Final victories. I realise this is a different format to existing FT/GTs on football clubs, but given the very different era in which they played, I don't think the "standard" format would work. Let me know your thoughts, anyway....... --

I have changed it to "Wanderers F.C. honours", as that's the term used in English football. They did not win any other honours as no other competitions existed in association football at the time. Will do the book thing later today when I have figured out how to do it........ --

Support - I have reviewed two of these articles for GA nominations, and was impressed at their standard. As a collection I feel that this is a nice little nugget of information, presented well and written in a suitable manner. I would be glad to read this topic as an encyclopaedic source, and I support it based on that,

These four brothers competed as professional wrestlers, although obviously under different last names. All articles are listed as Good Articles, and the references are up-to-date. If a picture is necessary, there is one on the Yvon Cormier article, although it shows only one of the four brothers. --

It seems redundant to me, as the articles are contain links to each other already. If anyone else agrees that a template should be added, though, I'm certainly willing to add it.

This has become quite the exercise in learning coding. Fortunately, someone adjusted the columns--I had already spent half an hour on them in the first place, so the help was greatly appreciated. I created a book, although I still don't understand what it is, and I added an image.

Question should Bobby and Rudy's articles be merged into the family one? It is not obvious to me why that would not be the case.

I am having second-thoughts about supporting a topic with Bobby and Rudy, since neither of them exemplify wikipedia's best. If they are expanded more, I would have no worries in supporting this.

I am not super keen on having topics on EPs which contain mostly re-releases and remixes, but the first two songs do appear to be primarily part of the EP.

The EP is made of 7 songs, six original to the EP and one live. And a bonus track for the international version that was "The Climb". It is mainly original. --

Support. The singles are GA's, that's what counts. I'm torn on The Climb, since it wasn't a single, nor was it on most versions of the EP (I'm assuming). However, since it's already a GA, I don't see the harm in including it. ♫

There once was an additional article on Heidi, but it got merged due to lack of notability. The topic is complete, and I don't think any of the other storms could get articles. --♫

Really big, long-term topic. I hope you don't mind me flooding a little bit, but I'm too excited to pass this topic up. This is a topic of all of the articles on storms that existed outside of the normal hurricane season. They are meteorological outliers, for sure. It's the biggest topic nomination yet from the
WPTC, so I hope you all find it acceptable! --♫

I don't think so. The topic should include all off-season storms that have articles. That said, there are several off-season storms without articles, but they either don't have the information or aren't otherwise notable enough. I mistakenly forgot to remove one article from the template, if that's what you were referring. --♫

Support - I maintain that the Epsilon namechange is really silly, but the topic as a whole is quite a major accomplishment. In the interest of fairness, I guess I should point out that I wrote at least one of the articles.
