Now that all articles pertaining to the album are GA-status, I believe Ready can now be a good topic, all being transformed from start-class articles. The GTC proposal contains five singles and an album track from the set. Candy o32 08:07, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

This GTC concerns a class of three French ironclads built in the late 1860s. They spent the bulk of their careers in the Mediterranean and their most notable act was the bombardment of Sfax when the French occupied Tunisia in 1881.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 18:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
This GTC covers five monitors built for the Swedish and Norwegian Navies during the 1860s. They were designed with the help of John Ericsson, the Swedish-born inventor who had designed the original USS Monitor for the US Navy. The ships were generally kept in reserve, commissioned only briefly during the year, if at all. The last ships weren't sold off until after World War I and most were converted to barges.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 17:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
The GTC covers the first class of Russian dreadnoughts. They were built for service in the Baltic Sea and delivered during World War I. They had a quiet war, but joined the Soviets during the February 1917 Revolution and fought in the Russian Civil War. One ship was transferred to the Black Sea Fleet in 1930 and another was badly damaged by fire when it was mothballed, so that only two ships were assigned to the Baltic Fleet when the Winter War of 1939 began. The ships could do little as the ice began to form not long after the start of the war. They were trapped in Leningrad after the Germans invaded in 1941 and one had its bow blown off, but was refloated and used as a floating battery. The one ship in the Black Sea provided fire support during the early stages of the Siege of Sevastopol, but was withdrawn from combat in early 1942 as it was too valuable to risk.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 03:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
This GTC concerns the three successors to the Alma-class ironclads. They mainly served overseas and fought in the French colonial wars in Vietnam and China.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 03:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
This GTC concerns a class of seven French armored corvettes, designed as second-class ironclads suitable for foreign deployments. Despite this several participated in the ineffectual French attempt to blockade the Prussian coast during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, but a number of ships participated in French colonial advantures in Tunisia, Vietnam, and China during the 1880s.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 02:53, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Good topic The issue about the national symbols is very touchy in Japan, especially with the national flag and the national anthem. There is not a lot of English language material about both symbols and also about the law that was created in 1999 to make these symbols official. While there are many symbols of Japan, the flag and anthem are the most known (and heated) and only were discussed in this law. Flag of Japan is an FA, Act on National Flag and Anthem (Japan) and Kimigayo are GA's. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:15, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
This GTC comprises the first pre-dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Russian Navy. They served in the Black Sea, but were generally relegated to second-line service by the First World War and the oldest two were used as targets shortly before the war began. Neither of the two survivors saw combat during the war. One ship was towed away when the Whites evacuated the Crimea in 1920 and was not scrapped until the 1930s, but the remaining ship was scrapped by the Soviets a decade earlier.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 22:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I know I am not the major contributor, but this is not a nomination proposal, but a merge proposal. There are three topics nominated this year ( that encompass most of this. But as listed above, these topics appear to be fine as merged. Since "The Invincibles" topic, it appears to be a significant movement towards merging together small topics into broader, well defined topic. The advantage of this proposal is that the last battle is also included, together with the main article. What do people think? Nergaal ( talk) 04:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
These two ships were the most modern battleships in the Russian Black Sea Fleet at the start of World War I. They successfully engaged the much larger and more powerful battlecruiser Yavuz on several occasions during the first year of the war without significant damage to themselves. They were relegated to second-line duties when the Russian dreadnoughts began to enter service at the end of 1915 and sold for scrap by the Soviets as hopelessly obsolete.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 23:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Often referred to as super-destroyers in English-language works, these ships were nearly the size of light cruisers. Built just before World War II, neither ship fired a shell at Axis ships during the war, but both were present when the British attacked at Mers-el-Kebir in July 1940, hoping to destroy the French ships there lest they get turned over to the Germans by the Vichy government. Both ships eventually sought refuge in Toulon where they were scuttled by the French to prevent them from falling into German hands. All three articles are GA class.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 01:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

This GTC concerns three Russian dreadnoughts reasserted Russian naval superiority in the Black Sea during World War I after it had been lost by the introduction of the ex-German battlecruiser Yavuz into the Black Sea when the war began. The first ship was destroyed by a magazine fire a year after commissioning and the second ship was scuttled in 1918 to prevent her from being turned over to the Germans according to the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. The last ship saw four different changes of ownership before the British turned her over to the Whites during the Russian Civil War. She led the evacuation from the Crimea in 1920 and took refuge in the French North African port of Bizerte. She was eventually scrapped by the French to pay her docking fees, but her guns were removed and eventually saw service with Finland and Germany in World War II. All articles are GAs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sturmvogel 66 ( talk • contribs)

The largest Soviet warships completed until after World War II, four of the ships fought in the war while the other two were still building in the Far East. Two were trapped by the Germans during the Siege of Leningrad while the other two transported troops and supplies during the Sieges of Odessa and Sevastopol. Only a couple ships were fully modernized in the 1950s while the others were relegated to roles as training and missile test ships before being scrapped.
While there are plenty of photos on Commons, the vast majority lack proper sourcing so their licenses are suspect. The only two real copyright-free images are a Soviet stamp (at [1]) and this photo of a model of the ship. Neither is ideal, but its probably worth discussing which is better.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 14:11, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

The third class of German pre-dreadnoughts, and the first built under the naval expansion program of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz. All articles have passed GA reviews. This and the Braunschweig nomination currently up will complete the German pre-dreadnought series, leaving only the WWI-era Helgoland, Kaiser, and König class and the handful of WWII-era ship articles to be completed before this monster is finally finished.

Yet another WP:OMT topic centered around the class of four battlecruisers/fast-battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Second World War. Haruna is FA, while the class article and Kirishima have both passed WP:MILHIST A-Class Reviews as well. I'm planning to upgrade this eventually to a Featured Topic, and possibly incorporate it into a later FT concerning all of Japan's battlecruisers throughout history if the sufficient article-work can be done, much as Parsecboy did with the individual battlecruisers of Germany into one large "Battlecruisers of Germany" Featured Topic.

I believe these eight articles are comprehensive and together denotes one of the best bunch in Wikipedia. They are about American recording artist (legend) Madonna's second studio album Like a Virgin, the singles released from the album, and the supporting tour and its subsequent live video release.

I'll change to neutral, as I'm still not convinced. While it may be a single from StR, it is still a song from LaV. If either Blackout or Circus were to be sent to FTC, "Radar" would need to be a GA, as it appears on both albums. Lastly, I don't really understand what the difference between the remix and the cover. From the "
Love Don't Live Here Anymore" article, the LaV version is a cover, and the StR version is the LaV song remixed. I don't really see how the remixing of the song excludes it from this topic. Anyway, it was released in Japan in 1986, therefore it was a single then, too.
