[edit] Forest

Reason
A short, but extremely incomplete article. Even the linked forest type do not necessary have material on the ecology of a forest.

  • It may be so short that it would qualify for COTW. 119 04:22, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bay Area Rapid Transit

Reason
I think this is within spitting distance of being an FAC, but since this project seems more active than peer review, being here might get the distance finished faster. The main shortcoming seems to be the currently very incomplete history, but there is much info easily gathered from the official site and places like a BART critique, such that I don't think it would take serious visits to the library to flesh it out--just someone(somepeople) to synthesize the info into NPOV, encyclopedic discussion. The FAC nominator so far has not addressed the objections, even tho', like I say, it seems quite do-able. (It already has nice pics, and I hope to add some when the weather clears, but they're forecasting clouds and rain here thru the weekend.) Niteowlneils 13:13, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Poetry

Reason
Saw this on the Wikipedia: featured article removal candidates. It's a holdover from the less stringent FA rules, I'd guess. It definitely needs work -- that list is ugly, it's nowhere near comprehensive and there's a single reference! --Dmcdevit 07:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pope John Paul I

Reason
I tried to get this passed to FA, but couldn't. Too heavily biased and very rumor-ridden, it needs help.

  • Not that far away from FA, methinks. It needs POV patching and maybe some reasearch, but the framework is there. -Litefantastic 17:46, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Voyager 1

Reason
Both the voyager missions did a lot of science and very little is covered in the article.

  • cannot nominate for the COTW as not stub, but still very brief.

[edit] Non-Aligned Movement

Extensively linked-to article which is currently very far from comprehensive and lacks references.

  • I tried to get this passed to FA twice, and was shut down both times. When I discovered the COTW, I posted it there, but had to remove it when they told me things had to be stubs. Perhaps it will do better here. -Litefantastic 00:17, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Copyrighted content meant the article is pretty much empty, could be a really good article with effort. Not a stub so unsuitable for COTW--PopUpPirate 15:27, Mar 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • It's a stub. 119 00:43, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd've thought so, but over at COTW they said it wasn't --PopUpPirate 11:18, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anthropology
