Thoughts on this? Are the two audited articles accepted or not? They have gone through a long history of events, including failed GANs, completed PRs, and passed AfDs. Gary King ( talk) 18:39, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't think video albums need including, the existing discography topics don't have them, though obviously including them is not going to hurt :) As for the real question here (the audited items), well I think you have done all you can really, there's nothing more to say, so I would vote for this topic. (Though note they should have s not

I am considering a Featured Topic based on this major expedition of 1914–17. The topic would consist of six articles; the main expedition article, three sub-articles dealing with aspects of the expedition, and biographical articles for the two leaders. All of these articles exist; five are featured and one is GA.
The problem is that another editor (who is no longer active) started an article titled List of personnel of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, which attempts to list the fifty-odd participants. Available information is very sketchy on many of these people, and it is hard to see how this list could ever become featured. So which of the following should I do:-
Suggestions would be very welcome. Brianboulton ( talk) 14:04, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
If a topic has a music album as its lead, which articles have to be included? Obviously, songs will have to be included. Does it only require songs officially released as singles? Or, all songs that have an article? Also, does it require all songs that even appeared on limited edition versions, or only appear on copies of the album in certain countries? Gary King ( talk) 00:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I am considering making a good or featured topic about the twenty tallest buildings in Seattle (including the Space Needle). The main article, List of tallest buildings in Seattle, is an FL, and all 20 of the articles have a chance at GAN. Any suggestions on what I should include before I start? ~~ C o m p u t e r G u y 00:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Gary King. You need to find a non-arbitrary cut-off point. I don't know that such a cut-off point exists so I am not sure this is a viable topic - rst20xx ( talk) 02:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
If the following were all featured articles.. a girl group's discography and the discographies of all current and former members of the group? For example, if each member of the Pussycat Dolls or Spice Girls created a solo career and had more than ten releasese? Any ideas, please help. Thanks! Hpfan9374 ( talk) 05:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think I would support this topic. I am not convinced that it makes sense to exclude the albums for any reason other than that it is less work. Also history suggests people are usually wrong about things not being able to make FL, so I will oppose until you at least give the lists a try - rst20xx ( talk) 02:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
User:Arctic.gnome and I are working on a topic of Canadian First Ministers, which includes the country's Prime Minister (head of the federal government) and its thirteen Premiers (heads of provincial governments). It's obvious that they are all related in some way, but we are unsure about what article to use as the lead. Originally, I used List of current Canadian premiers, but eventually Arctic.gnome suggested we move it to List of current Canadian first ministers, which expands the scope to include List of Prime Ministers of Canada. Here is the current topic below:
What I'm wondering is, is this an acceptable lead for the topic, or should we get another article such as Premier (Canada) as the lead (which would require that we remove List of Prime Ministers of Canada from the topic)? Gary King ( talk) 21:13, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I've been working on a number of articles all related to
Homosexuality in science fiction. I was hoping to make a featured topic on this, but am unsure which articles would be needed for this. It differes from most other topics in that it is not something that can be certainly delineated (like a game series), but it would be the most comprehensive collection of information on this topic in the world.
The five articles here include all the notable general aspects: the world's only notable organisation, both the notable awards, the only notable convention, and the GA on the general history. Would this be a viable topic? I could include 4 other featured lists of awards (currently going through review), which is currently there as a subtopic, but it seemed to skew the content towards one organisation. —Preceding

Here's the plan:
Would this be an acceptable topic, or is it too subjective?
Those are the only episodes where Itchy & Scratchy figure into the main plot and are anything more than just a self-contained 30 second short. There really are none where they play a sort-of-major role. They either are the focus of the plot, or they are just 30 second jokes. However, the problem is that it can still be seen as an arbitrary cut-off based on POV about what makes an appearance major. Thoughts? -- Scorpion 0422 03:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

What articles in the list above are not (really) needed, and which others have to be added? Nergaal ( talk) 01:55, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I thought of an idea. Could a good/featured topic be not a group of related articles, but one single topic being presented in multiple media? In other words, could a topic include Featured sounds or Featured Images? As far as I know, nothing like this has been proposed before. Here's one example I came up with:
Eh? -- Cryptic C62 · Talk 06:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not advocating this particular featured topic, but just for the sake of clarity, I'll address your arguments using the robin example:
I think the example given would be insufficient. The sound and image can (and should) already be in the parent article, so the topic gives nothing to the reader that the single doesn't article give. However, i do think it would be nice to be able to include featured media as extras in an already featured topic, but only with discussion of each addition and a good rationale, ie, if the articles and lists already have enough images, so a featured image had to be exluded from the articles, but would still make a great addtion to the topic. I think this is pretty rare though. Yobmod ( talk) 12:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

GAC after the season 2008–09 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team | ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I am not sure what is required for a GTC, but I am thinking about nominating this at the end of the season. I may need to take John Beilein to GA. Is the coach necessary. The only other players I would take to GA would be players who end up being at least Honorable mention All-Big Ten or All-Freshman Big Ten. I think the only additional players might be Laval Lucas-Perry and Zack Novak. Is this a potential GT?-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 05:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
All of the band members have releases atleast ten albums, singles, music videos, compilation appearances, extended plays, compilation albums, live albums, video albums, etc. I don't believe is a band discography featured topic and don't believe one has been nominated as of yet. Victoria Beckham's discography and Melanie Brown's discography are not currently stand-alone lists and thus I would have to create new articles. I raised this question months ago, but I have now checked to see as to whether all of the band members have had ten releases and they all have.. so if I achieve featured list status for all the discographies named above, would it meet the featured topic criteria? Thanks! Hpfan9374 ( talk) 01:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Is this a good topic?

Sometime in the future, another editor and I would like to nominate professional wrestling halls of fame as a featured topic. I have structured the ones I have worked on a little differently (eg. in St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Fame, I wrote notes such as "Won NWA World Heavyweight Championship ten times and NWA Missouri Heavyweight Championship once." in the table. In NWA Hall of Fame, the other editor wrote notes like "Won the NWA Mid-Atlantic World Tag Team Championship (4 times) and the NWA World Tag Team Championship (4 times)"). Would I have to change my format to the parentheses, etc. to make it appear more uniform, or is this just considered a trivial detail? Is there anything noticeable that would need to be changed for more similarity between the two? Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 06:27, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm currently planning to expand World of Naruto so that the current "Ninja ranks" section becomes a section discussing "Ninja" in the series more generally (I would move the "Jutsu" section into this new section and expand a bit also), and would have a {{ see also}} pointing to List of Naruto characters. As practically all characters in the series are ninja and reside in this fictional world, would this constitute a viable topic? Thanks, — sephiroth bcr ( converse) 17:51, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
I couldn't find any author topics, so wanted to see what would be needed. I envisage a basic one similar to band topics, so the main authors bio page, a list of works, and a list of awards. An example:

Chosen as he has enough works and awards to make featured lists, and enough sources to write at least a GA, and works in intersections that might get various projects input. Anything missing for this example or author topics in general? The only other author topic is Mary Wollstonecraft, which includes all her major works. But i think the bibliogrpahy as a subtopic is preferable for more prolific writers. Yob Mod 08:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
