[edit] Nominations
- Hurricane Katrina - a featured article but save for later please.

- This article doesn't officially have good article status, but looks close to it. --Aude (talk contribs) 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Team America: World Police - perfect choice
- This article also doesn't officially have good article status, I think we should try to stick with articles that have at least that status. I think there's plenty to choose from. --Aude (talk contribs) 01:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- John W. Johnston - a GA article plange 03:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- Illmatic - a featured article but was recently on Wikipedia's Mainpage. Therefore, it is best that this be saved for later Chubdub 03:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
