Revised Standard Version[edit]

Created FAC from original nomination here.

  • Revised Standard Version - This was my favorite article to write! I feel like this article is complete and free of errors and very readable. I might be biased... -- hoshie

Created FAC from original nomination here.

Phonograph cylinder[edit]

Created FAC from original nomination here.

  • Phonograph cylinder - If you don't like it, I'd like suggestions for improving it. Infrogmation 17:14, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
    • Great article, especially -- as I see it -- the implicit parallel between the demise of the phonograph cylinder and the audio/videotape. Professor Higgins might be mentioned. --KF 12:58, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)
      • "If you nominate a page to which you have contributed all or a large majority of content, then it must be seconded by at least one more person in order to be accepted." (see above) Well then, where's the problem? --KF 15:26, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Shakers[edit]

  • Shakers - well-written. thorough. Kingturtle 05:03, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I would support this - but some patching is required to repair the hole created by the recent move of material, from which Ann Lee was created. Mkmcconn 16:27, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I added back in a shorter section on Mother Ann -- hopefully this addresses the issue... -- BCorr ¤ Брайен 16:48, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • Thank you.

Battle of Aljubarrota[edit]

Thou[edit]

Oxyrhynchus[edit]

Irish theatre[edit]

Ackermann function[edit]

    • Second. If I could follow this, it can't be bad. Bmills 10:19, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Peer review[edit]

Action potential[edit]

Titanium[edit]

Recertified by Wikipedia:Featured article review/Titanium on 2 January 2006

  • Titanium - self nomination. This is a reference article showing everything I want all the chemical element articles to be. If this isn't "brilliant prose" yet I would be very interested to know what else can be done to improve it (and then apply that to the whole WikiProject). --mav 07:47, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Original sin[edit]

Not the Nine O'Clock News[edit]

Superman[edit]

  • Superman and Batman - a whole bunch of users have given exhaustive (yet entertaining) detail about these comic book characters. (I commend Kchishol1970 especially for his contributions.) --Modemac 23:24, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Both seconded :ChrisG 00:56, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Zionism[edit]

  • Zionism - Adam, Zero, and Danny, et al. have done a great job of putting together a lot of different takes on a complex subject without the "critics say" crutches that so many of our articles rely on. Somebody new to the topic could come out with lots of useful information. DanKeshet
    • Seconded. Learnt a lot reading that article. Seemed very balanced : ChrisG 01:04, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Second that, especially the bit about non-use of "some say" weaseling. Dandrake 01:29, Dec 9, 2003 (UTC)
