[edit] Spring Heeled Jack
Self-nomination, with the invaluable help of people outside and inside WP, especially JeremyA and Allen3. This article has been on peer review for 12 days with hardly any comments, so I tried to do my best to make it as close to FA criteria as I could on my own; and after a painstaking month of work, I'm satisfied with the result. The subject is the figure of Spring Heeled Jack, an English paranormal phenomena and urban legend of the Victorian era, with vast influence in many cultural aspects. Since all the online sources currently available cover either of these sides but not both, and usually in a shallow fashion, my goal was to provide Wikipedia with the most objective and comprehensive article I could write, and I hereby submit it for your consideration. Thanks for your time. -- Shauri 03:25, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I read it all and thought it was so interesting that I was disappointed that it wasn't longer. Support, but expand it further if you can! Everyking 07:15, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Well-referenced. Bunch of nice pictures and as far as I can determine it's pretty complete. Support (Could you mention the jumping in the lead?) Mgm|(talk) 14:52, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
- Done, I added a small line to the lead mentioning his jumping abilities. Hope you like it, and thx :) -- Shauri 21:37, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- Support: Over the last few weeks I have watched Shauri grow this article from a stub with possible copyvio worrries into the article it is now. I think that she has done an excellent job and produced a first-class article. JeremyA 00:32, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
