Workgroup. Solid enough? Res Mar 23:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
Just wondering if this is a possible GT/FT.— Chris! c t 03:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
What do you mean by listing unsuccessful nominees?— Chris! c t 17:14, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I've been working on articles about the Blond Bombers professional wrestling tag team (consisting of Swede Hanson (wrestler) and Rip Hawk. All three articles are currently GAs. Would this be sufficient to create a Good Topic? My biggest concern would be that other tag teams have also used the name Blond Bombers (as noted and elaborated on in the main article). Is it possible to specify that the Good Topic is "Blond Bombers (Hanson and Hawk)" and use these three articles to create a Good Topic? GaryColemanFan ( talk) 15:02, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I was wondering if this could be a featured topic?. I'll be glad to receive your feedback, thank you. Jaespinoza ( talk) 00:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm wondering if this makes a good FT/GT grouping. 1758 and 1777 will both get to GA eventually; the lead, 1758, and 1759, are all eventual FA contenders. The lead article is the article about
Fort Ticonderoga; it includes summaries of the battles. There is a page
Battle of Ticonderoga; is a DAB page listing all of these. (The war links are there for background/headers only.)
Thanks for your feedback. Magic ♪piano 14:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering if there is anything glaringly missing from this article that should be included? Just waiting on the promotion of Paulinus and I think I'm good to go for a featured topic. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:17, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
This are 210,454 numbered minor planets, and thus should be considered " overly large". Now, I don't think it would be possible to make them all good articles, but I think it would be possible to make twenty or twenty-five of them. I ask you how should this be split; into groups of 20 or 30 by the number preceeding the minor planets name? Also, what should be the main article and name of such topics? Thanks! Alex Douglas ( talk) 07:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
If I wanted to make a GT for a single season of a sports team (say, 2008-09 Toronto Raptors season, would it be OK if I just got all the players (and maybe coaches) to be GAs? Would that be comprehensive enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noble Story ( talk • contribs)
How is it determined if two featured/good topics overlap? How many (or what percent) of shared articles would be cause for comment or concern? I'm considering several topics that could eventually qualify as good or featured, where two might both encompass (by differing criteria) one or two articles in common.
Topics under consideration include:
-- Magic ♪piano 04:10, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Joanne Gair has been associated with three well known works of art. She was the primary artist for Demi's Birthday Suit and Disappearing Model (DM). She was also the make-up artist for More Demi Moore. I am trying to determine if she would be a good GT. I am having extreme difficulty finding substantial encyclopedic information about DM. I am not sure if More Demi Moore would be included in the topic and am not sure whether Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue would be included in the topic. I sort of think Gair might be more an article for a topic about the latter than vice versa. I doubt I will be able to get DM to GA, but was curious what it would take for a GT.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 03:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Just wanted to confirm that this FT will fly after the last two lists (currently at FLC) pass. KV5 ( Talk • Phils) 18:40, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
FL Walter A. Brown Trophy, a part of the National Basketball Association awards FT, was up at FLRC per the new FL criteria. It is proposed that the content be merged to FL List of NBA champions since both have similar content. I think it won't affect the FT because the topic is still complete. But still, I want to ask here to make sure if the topic will still fulfill the FT criteria. Thoughts?— Chris! c t 05:17, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
The list of alumni had expanded to unmanageable size, so it's generated three sub-lists:
If this last one passes, any thoughts on whether to make a FT out of "Lists of alumni of Jesus College, Oxford", with the main list as the lead and the three sub-lists in addition? Or should I just add them to the existing topic? Bencherlite Talk 19:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
I am wondering if the Millennium Park GT will require expansion. Nichols Bridgeway has opened, but it does not seem to be an official park feature. Also, this summer two temporary structures will be unveiled.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:LOTM) 07:36, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Alright, I have brought three members discographies (Ricki-Lee Coulter, Jessica Mauboy, Paulini Curuenavuli) to featured lists so far. I am nominating another (Kate DeAraugo) and then the group's (Young Divas) discography shortly thereafter. However, my only problem is with the fifth member (Emily Williams), can her discography be deemed "ineligible for featured list status" because of it's "limited subject matter", because it has six releases 'or should it be removed from the topic altogether? Alex Douglas ( talk) 01:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
...so that's how it would look? Does that meet the featured topic criteria? Thanks! Alex Douglas ( talk) 11:34, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
This is an artificial topic, and I kind of doubt it would pass FTC. Nergaal ( talk) 06:06, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
I changed the title of the topic. If I edited the Young Divas discography lead to include the member's studio album releases (not singles, eps, etc) then would you support this topic as a featured topic? Alex Douglas ( talk) 06:17, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
I am aware of precedent topics. But I still don't see what criterion the topic fails. Furthermore, Kate DeAraugo discography has been merged with Kate DeArarugo because of limited subject matter.
Each of the discography articles could have subtopics; there is complete overlap. The lead article will mention the release of each of the member's solo studio albums. Alex Douglas ( talk) 03:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
Hmm, I'm surprised I never heard of "good topics" or "featured topics" before now. So excuse me if I seem ignorant. I have been working on a set of articles involving the trucking industry in the US. The two FA-class articles are Hours of service and Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula. While Trucking industry in the United States is only a GA-class article (This article has turned out to be much more of a chore than I originally thought, so much to cover and so little time. I'm thinking of splitting out the history section, it just keeps growing and growing, which might help cut down the work for FA status... but I digress). Also I have Glossary of trucking industry terms in the United States, which would be a list-class article but still needs work for FA status. Those are the basic core articles. I have read the requirements and I assume it is up to the reivewers as to which articles constitute a topic. Do these four articles cover the basics of trucking? The only other article that might belong here is Commercial driver's license, but there is some debate as to whether that article should cover the world-wide definition of trucker's licenses, or just the United States. Commercial licenses go by many different names in other countries, but they have been added to the CDL article anyway, so I assume it should stay an international-focused article. There is also the navbox Template:Trucking industry in the United States, which shows all the articles that are associated with this topic. So if I improve the glossary to an FA-list, do I have a shot for at least a good topic? -- ErgoSum• talk• trib 02:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
As a sort of long-term project, I was pondering the following:
What else would need to be included? There are a number of other related articles linked to in the main article, and I'm trying to figure out whether this topic would become so large as to be practically impossible. Beijing National Stadium? 2008 Summer Paralympics? List of 2008 Summer Olympics medal winners? 2008 Summer Olympics national flag bearers? Geraldk ( talk) 19:16, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm planning a Gold Glove Award featured topic featuring the following articles:
Most of these articles don't currently exist, but the AL and NL separated lists are having their data merged per a discussion at WT:MLB, so I'm doing the featured workup and the merging all at the same time. The question is: Does List of Gold Glove middle infield duos also need to be included in this topic? KV5 ( Talk • Phils) 14:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering if someone could provide a more comprehensive rule on the standards for omitted articles? Take, for example, Golden Sun DS. It is a video game that has not been released, with very little information known about the game. Could that count towards an omitted article if I put it through peer review? -- haha169 ( talk) 16:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
Ok, I'm working on some aritcles right now. None have been reviewed yet, but I'd like to eventually submit them to become a FT. The problem is that one of the articles 1980 Super Bowl of Poker has zero chance of passing an FL or even GA. For there is almost no information on this particular event. The other 12 Super Bowl's of Poker we have enough that I have little fear of getting them passed as FL's, but there doesn't appear to be enough sources for this article. If all articles have to be Good/Feature status, what do I do when there is an obvious gap? (The SBOP ran from 1979-1991.) Is there a way to work with this?--- Balloonman NO! I'm Spartacus! 19:22, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Speaking of obvious gaps, this could be considered cherry picking. Tropical Storm Cristina (1996) or Hurricane Hernan (1996) do not have enough info to get to GA which becomes a problem. Leave Message , Yellow Evan home , Sandbox
I was just looking to see if there was any problem with this as a featured topic (assuming I can get all to GA/FA status, of course):
The reason I ask is that there are a few articles, such as Late-May 1998 tornado outbreak and derecho and 2006 Westchester County tornado, as well as a few I plan on creating in the future, which contain information on one or more Connecticut tornadoes, but the main impact of these events was elsewhere. I just want to make sure this couldn't be construed as cherry-picking. - RunningOnBrains( talk page) 09:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
