[edit] Tynwald Day

(Uncontested -- 15 July) This is a self-nomination. It would have been nice for me to have thought of this last month, so that objections could have been resolved and the article displayed on the main page on Tynwald Day (July 5), but since I did not, I presume we will have to wait until next year. -- Emsworth 19:31, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• Support. If Emsworth wants to singlehandedly dominate FA for years to come, who am I to stop him? [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:41, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Object. Generally a good article, but some repetition needs tidying up. Foor example, these three facts are stated twice: Monday if the 5th is a weekend day, hill is artificial, flag bears three leg symbol. Also, should the flag image be placed by the 1st mention to clarify the symbol right away? If these are fixed, I'll Now support. Bmills 13:51, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • Okay, I've addressed these issues. -- Emsworth 17:03, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Great article about something I had never heard of until today. Jeronimo 10:55, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Excellent article with one nit: maybe its just me that wants see also's but I feel strongly it connects the wikipedia material better, and I usually want to read more about an interesting topic like this. For example, links to History of the Isle of Man, Government of the Isle of Man would help along with others. I've already started it, but I'm commenting here because I think it should be a standard feature of featured articles. - Taxman 14:08, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)
• Support. Obscure stuff like this is what Wikipedia is best at. Bacchiad 03:56, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
