These articles concerning History and Religion were added to Wikipedia:Brilliant prose before the institution of the Nomination system that is presently in use. Moreover, some of them are more than a year old and the standards of wikipedia had (fortunately) improved since then.
Now we call upon all wikipedians to have a say on these articles. You can vote only with your signature for:
- Keep or
- Remove
Please add short comments within parentheses after your vote, and long comments on the talk page.
Within a month, on the new year, the Brilliant prose page will be refreshed according to the voting. Articles with no vote at all will be considered boring and will be removed.
