[edit] Notre Dame de Paris

Partial Self Nomination - Well written and referenced, with plenty of high quality images. Not too long, not too short.--Primalchaos 18:48, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Partial Support - It's very well written, but the paragraphs are kind of brief. It could benefit from longer descriptions, but if other users don't have a problem with this, I will support it. - PRueda29 - 15:48 22 August 2005 (UTC)
Object - Expand the paragrpahs. The article has great potential but its paragraphs are too short. Fix this and I'll support it. - PRueda29 - 17:28 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Mild oppose. While this could be a great article, I think it needs to be expanded. As it is now, the sections read more as factoids. Develop and expand the sections.--Alabamaboy 16:43, 22 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. It is a good article but it still needs some work. There are a few too many lists. The significant events bullet point should be merged into the prose history sections. Good articles do not have a miscellaneous trivia section, these points need to find a home elsewhere in the article. Something also need to be done with the statistics and in the media lists. There are also several important omissions. For instance there is no coverage of the long controversy over the cathedral in post-revolutionary France, or the campaign led by Victor Hugo that eventually saw it restored. The Lead is also somewhat too short. - SimonP 16:48, August 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comments. The first photo needs to be rotated a little. A good way to expand the article would be to add some close-up photos of the three portals, and discuss their symbolism; from what recall, it was very interesting, and the interpretation was not at all obvious to me as a non-Catholic.--Bcrowell 04:05, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Oppose. The article just doesn't read well. Huge amounts of information need to be grouped into larger, better paragraphs instead of the numerous subsections in the current version. The use of Notre Dame in the media is surely a lot greater than two movies and a video game? Páll (Die pienk olifant) 16:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
