Wow, complicated instructions! Could someone please deal with the Saffron featured topic? Trade and use is defeatured, and none of the suite is being maintained by its original nominator. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 14:18, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
For anybody watching this page I would appreciate some further input at Wikipedia_talk:Featured_topic_criteria#Intro_para_as_requirement_for_FT. Nergaal ( talk) 19:16, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
What is the best way to get more comments on nominations here without canvassing? I nominated English Heritage properties in Somerset back in April and it has only received 2 comments, while Scheduled monuments in Somerset has been almost a month without any comments. I'm not a regular here and don't know how long these nominations normally take.— Rod talk 19:13, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Recently there have been concern on the retention period being only three months. Complaints have been made that three months is not enough time to fix issues a topic would have in them. As such, I think it would be best to figure out how to fix this issue. The most obvious idea is to expend the retention period. So would increasing the grace period to four, five, six months be a better time period here than the current model? GamerPro64 04:59, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
Sorry for the somewhat lengthy post, but there's a bit of background to cover before I can ask my questions.
I'm hitting the home stretch of a decade-long project that will end up with 212 or so articles related to the Michigan State Trunkline Highway System at FA. FL or GA level. As that would be a bit unwieldy to nominate as a mega-GT, I think it would be best to divide that into some subtopics. Because the highways in the state are numbered as part of one of three schemes, that lends itself nicely to subdivision by designation type. As of this moment, there are 4-5 articles left to send to GAN and 2 lists left to send to FLC. There are already 24 FAs and 2 FLs and 180 GAs.
Using the designation type as a basis for division, we'd end up with one topic on the Interstates, one on the US Highways, and one on the other state highways (M-#). These would have their appropriate lists as the lead article, and the those lists, plus Pure Michigan Byway would be the entries in a topic with the system article as the lead. So far, so good. The kicker is that we have two FTs, one on I-96 and one of M-28. So once taken to the end, we'd have a topic on the system, with 3 subtopics on the types of highways in that system, 2 of which also have subtopics based around individual "parent" highways. At the moment, we'd end up with a topic composed of subtopics with another level of subtopics, but I think I've only seen two levels so far, not three.
I nominated the Interstates topic last night. It's currently a GTC (4/13), but if the rest of I-96's related articles were included, it would be an FTC (9/18) because all but one of the I-96 topic's articles are FAs. How do the regulars here want to handle these topics? The US Highways topic only needs its list and a few GANs promoted to ready for nomination, and the M list is the only thing holding up a GTC of the state highways topic. Based on my experience and expectations for editing time, the rest of the nominations should be ready yet this year. Imzadi 1979 → 02:49, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
I am unfamiliar with the FT or GT process, but Wikipedia:Featured topics/Halo media was previously demoted from GT because Halo 4, Halo 4 Original Soundtrack and Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn were not GAs at that time. This concern has been addressed and this topic should now meet the GT criteria. Can anyone please help me with this? I am posting here because I am not a main contributor to articles in this topic and because I am not confident with completing the nomination process correctly. sovereign° sentinel (contribs) 09:27, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
I am planning to take Satyajit Ray who was an Indian filmmaker for FT where his article is FA and has got 2 FLs ( filmography and awards). One of his directed film Pather Panchali is also an FA. Can his films be included under FT? Please explain. - Vivvt ( Talk) 08:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Leonardo DiCaprio is a good article, and his filmography and accolades are featured lists. However, DiCaprio owns a production company, Appian Way Productions, which does not have an article of its own as it's produced a few films, and it would be too soon to create an article about that. I want to ask if it is okay to exclude that from the topic. -- Frankie talk 14:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
