Nevertheless it's a slow process for one person and if anyone is able to help, I think it would make a great featured article. Despite what you may think there is plenty of academic reference material available on him - look on JSTOR for example if you can, it's just a case of putting it all together into one coherent article.)

  • The article could easily be improved to GA quality and perhaps even FA quality. There's a very decent start with a number of solid references. There's still plenty to do: an extensive copyedit, an "in popular culture" section that needs to be cleaned up, a more thorough discussion of his legacy, etc. In any case, it's the kind of article where editors with various skills and interests could find something worthwhile to do. The article falls in the scope of a number of projects so it should be easy to gather a good number of competent editors to help out. Of course, James Brown is a key figure in popular music and I just think it would be really nice to have the article featured by the first year of his death (December 25th). Pascal.Tesson 05:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Comments by Lwalt ♦ talk

GA-Class quality? Didn't realized the quality of the article has slipped that far. The JB article was rated as B-Class, then A-Class quality earlier this year (also noted on the article's talk page) for the Biography and Georgia portals (this article is also rated as "top-importance" for the Georgia Portal). Also, the article was featured on the Music Portal during February 2007. Here's the content of the article at the last edit on February 1 and the last edit on February 28. Since I don't where to find the archives for past featured articles on portals, I don't know which version of the article appeared on the Music Portal during February 2007, especially since the article was also vandalized frequently at that time.

After I spent some time editing the article, I stepped back to take another look at what needs to be done for the article's improvement. Here are my comments for what I think is still needed to improve the article: 'Lwalt ♦ talk

Certainly deserving of a better article (and definitely a better photo) but I don't know that you should indicate him as the "world's richest person" in light of that. I won't support this as there are many other articles that require more attention that are far mroe important to an English encyclopedia. --lincalinca 10:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
    • The world's richest person can pay someone to improve his article if he wants to. If he wants to, he can certainly leave a message here.

  • Seminal gaming company that has a large influence on past/present/future culture. Created icons like Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong, as well ass the Game Boy, NES, DS, Wii.

  • By last check, Nintendo is worth more than $10 billion and has two of the most successful systems in the industry today, one of them being far more successful than any competitors or even non-competitors. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
    • My mistake; they possess >$10 billion. Back when they were in second place to Sony, Microsoft wanted to buy them for $25 billion. And with the DS being more successful than the PS2 in Japan and Europe, and being pretty close in North America, I believe that they would be worth much, much more. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

  • This is an important anthropological term; but this article is an absolute mess of tabloid, trivia and vanity. I really thing a good, or even featured article could come from this subject if editors worked together on it.ZayZayEM

  • The series of protest are among the largest in Turkish history as well as human history. Mind you, this article is about a current event that has been going on for the past month. There have already been 4 rallies and a 5th one is scheduled for this weekend, another is scheduled for 19 May. It is very overwhelming for a single person to try to maintain this article and I would welcome any assistance. When the rallies come to an end, I hope to have a near feature article. It will be very hard to write about the protests once they conclude. It would loose the historic perspective too. -- Cat chi? 10:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This article was recently demoted from featured article status due to a lack of citations. I think that can be pretty easily fixed given the amount of legal scholarship that's been written about it in the last 150 years. Wl219 06:48, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This article is central to many democracies and to the whole Freedom Concept series. I would like to nominate Freedom of speech by country too but I think Freedom of speech is more important/should come first. Thanks, Monkeyblue 04:48, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • It should indeed be an FA. It is because of it that Wikipedia exists. Universe=atomTalkContributions 09:07, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
  • I think this article, of all those listed here, could benefit most from the attention of many editors. It has broad appeal and worldwide importance, is a fundamental concept that can surely draw on better illustrations, and needs intensive copyediting to collapse the lists into subsections and paragraphs. Also, to do: wordwide view, additional references. Surely, something for everybody! --Martinship 09:27, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

  • The article about ME/CFS is unbelievably poor. This disease, whatever your personal opinion on it, is known to affect 4 million Americans and around 1 in 1000 people in Western populations. However, the article is unbelievably long, full of useless and biased information and as a resource is pretty poor. There are also continuing and unresolved arguments over lots of the information, and information about research and upcoming clinical trials, for instance, is mentioned either sparingly or not at all. This article may not interest you personally, but it is important that it is thoroughly improved to make it useful to the public. Please vote! Thedreamdied 01:51, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Last time I looked (admittedly years ago) the US estimate was 800,000 patients so I think I detect definition/dx criteria creep (not suggesting Thedreamdied is responsible for that; increasingly inclusive diagnostic criteria is seen as a big problem in ME/CFS advocacy). AvB ÷ talk 10:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I was going on the CDC estimate in their recent cfs public information drive, which said 4 million. Thedreamdied 13:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
The CDC have different estimates in different publications. 800,000 sounds about right for the Fukuda definition. More accurate diagnosing should (more quickly) eliminate other diseases than ME from the CFS population and thereby reduce this number. I agree that the article is presently a total mess, it is more a collection of 'my two cents' bits than a proper lemma.--Guido den Broeder 01:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The article is presently filled with poorly verified information added by people with an agenda. We need to be crystal clear on what can be included and what is out. I suggest small case series that have never been cited by a systematic review are not suitable.
In general I agree however I think that leaves out some very promising recent research such as this small study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=pubmed Renwick 01:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

JFW | T@lk 21:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Creating a separate article on ME could help sorting things out, IMHO. The text as it is shows a lot of confusion about the relations between a number of entities. The related lemma on Post-viral fatigue syndrome also needs work.--Guido den Broeder 23:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
You think so? It seems to me that they're all the same thing with different names - hence 'CFS/ME' in the US. Thedreamdied 00:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Having separate articles for ME and PVFS could confuse things even more, a ME or PVFS diagnosis isn't based on diagnostic tests that distinguish them from CFS, but perhaps the difference between chronic fatigue and CFS needs to be further highlighted. - Tekaphor 06:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
They're not quite the same, although they target the same patients. ME is a disease, CFS a syndrome. In practice this means that all ME-patients have CFS, while the diagnosis of CFS is (or should be) a temporary thing until it is established that the patient has ME, or not. Furthermore, some aspects of ME are typically not included in CFS criteria, and there is a long history of ME research from before CFS was even invented. Diagnosing ME is also quite different from diagnosing CFS.--Guido den Broeder 09:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I agree with Tekaphor. To me, ME and CFS are broadly different words for the same thing, and thats how they are intended. Chronic Fatigue by itself is a totally different thing, its a symptom and not a disease. Thedreamdied 15:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The article is too large, somewhat fragmented and needs more references for the controversial aspects of it. - Tekaphor 06:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I think that its FAR too large - it should be divided up into other articles if necessary, similar to the Multiple Sclerosis article. There also needs to be a much better lead, and the endless 'sniping' where one POV is followed by another is ridiculous. The article should be written from the POV that CFS is real, then there should be a clear section suggesting that some people/doctors believe it isnt. The etiology section is also appalling - the only serious etiologys are "its all in the head", "it doesnt exist at all", gene/immune problems, and persistent low grade viral infections. All the other rubbish is unsourced and really unneccessary. Thedreamdied 15:18, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
A lot of the stuff in the etiology section may be useful but should be moved to a section called differential diagnosis/diseases with similar symptoms or something (which I think a lot of medical articles on rare/ hard to diagnose diseases should add). Celiac disease and arnold chiari malformation may cause similar symptoms but are definitely not the same thing as CFS/ME, they have their own articles and they do not need a lot of elaboration on the CFS/ME page. Also treatments should be listed in a single section not spead out in the etiology section- treatments for diseases such as celiac disease, allergies, etc. are already mentioned on their respective pages and shouldn't be on the CFS page at all. This section also lists tests such as testing for herpes virus/epstein barr virus, these should be moved to the testing/diagnosis section. Renwick 01:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
There is also enough immunology information to warrant its own subsection. - Tekaphor 03:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Re-Renwick, i do see why it the etiology stuff should be kept, but maybe a seperate article on 'Chronic Fatigue' could have them, and then keep CFS/ME as a seperate page relating only to seriously proposed etiologies. Thedreamdied 13:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps the relevant information can be "strained" out and the rest deleted. - Tekaphor 15:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Any additions of information, removals of bad information, and anything else that could help a person understand the illness is greatly needed. Also, editing, fact checking, etc... SadanYagci 03:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

1. I studied this in my GCSE geography.
2. It was also the subject of ITV's Police, Camera, Action! in the 1996 episode The Man Who Shot OJ Programme 2, about the Los Angeles News Service.

  • Article creation on a core topic! Until a few days ago this was being marked as a disambiguation page, although there is a separate dab page at Energy (disambiguation). It still looks like a list of links with a gallery instead of an article. Many important daughter pages (e.g. Energy (physics), Energy (social studies), Energy industry, Energy (biology), and Energy (chemistry)) have useful information that can be used to flesh this out. Whether or not this nomination succeeds, the list of links should be merged into the dab; if we can't make sense out of this as an article, I'll probably nominate it for deletion, because it doesn't convey any useful information like an encyclopedia article should. Dekimasuよ! 02:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
  • This article and its family of articles have a long, complex, and contentious history. I support the major changes suggested above--in particular, a merger and elimination of the category subarticles--but the efforts of one particularly motivated editor would have to be overcome in order for progress to be made. Robert K S 12:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
  • It is definitely a good idea to clean this up. I suggest moving Energy (physics) to be the main article. "Energy (<other natural science>)" should be merged or be made into sub-articles, and summarized an linked from the main article. Energy (chemistry)" should be merged into Thermodynamic potential. The current Energy should be merged into Energy (disambiguation). Articles that actually deal with Energy in a non-physics sense, such as Energy (psychological) can be left as they are. --PeR 15:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
I notice that someone has already done the page move from "Energy (physics)". Hence, there is no longer a need for this article to be nominated for improvement. --PeR 16:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
There is still a need for improvement, and particularly, the attention of experts. The lead requires a lot of hammering out yet to make it concise and clear for the uninitiated reading without sacrificing correctness for simplicity. Robert K S 17:12, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

    • The start-class label was a bit outdated so I upgraded to B-class, since it's 44 k without template, table or list-cruft. It has noticeable info gaps in sociology, medicine, physiology, public health effects and modern history, but has a far superior overall coverage when compared to, for example, tobacco smoking.

  • Short article (six paragraphs and a listy section). Important environmental, freshwater/marine biology, fishery topic. Lots of people live in river deltas. I'm guessing around 500 million worldwide (for instance, about 60 million in Vietnam and between 115 and 143 million in the Ganges delta), sometimes to ill effect. 82.71.48.158 19:30, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I hope others share my view. Cheers -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

  • It gave its name to a whole age, so is historically crucial and should be better than B-class.
  • If this isn't in Wikipedia, then the whole periodic table should be thrown out if that's what taking this article out means. Iron is such an important part of human construction. I cannot believe this could be gone.

  • Popular Mechanics has been a very influential magazine in the coverage of science and technology for over 100 years. Certainly throughout its history it has had cultural significance as a leading American technology publication. The current article is very short (barely two paragraphs) and says nothing of the magazine's history, significant issues or coverage, or recent events concerning the magazine. Compare with the article for Wired, which I would consider to be a relatively good article about a magazine. --Bonus Onus 03:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

  • It could be a really useful article to review the major geopolitical changes of the 20th-21st centuries. There are blanks in the knowledge of all of us (for example, it was a surprise to me that a country named Eritrea exists – because it wasn't until 1993 that it was created and it was just missing from my atlas) and it would be interesting to see how the worldscape differed from the present one just a couple of decades ago and how it changed over time to reach its today's state. There are useful articles available as resources in its "See also" section. Adam78 10:53, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This article just gained a lot more importance(chosen as the city for the Winter Olympics in 2014) and it's only a B-class.
  • It's had 100 edits since yesterday. I don't think a collaboration is needed for this article. Spamsara 03:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Extremely important article, since one of the most prestigious events in sports is going to be held there. Definitely should be an FA. Universe=atomTalkContributions 12:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to clean the article up to get rid of non-encyclopedic phrasing. With work, this could be a better article, even providing information for people in Yellowknife.

  • Book series by Lemony Snicket with thirteen books and a handful of spin-off books. The article is plagued by speculation and unsourced statements. Hopefully, it can be brought up to par with Harry Potter, a similar type of series. This page and other closely related pages are primarily edited by users who have read and are fans of the books. Some input from those less familar with the series would be very helpful. ***Clamster 23:08, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  • It is a well known notable drink, and basically the article has seemed to have been left to rot with hardly any refs, and needing heavy cleanup and a number of other improvements. It is having a peer review, (which is being blatantly ignored), and generally a task force of users is needed to get it to GA. Telcourbanio Care for a talk? 13:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

  • This could be a really great article. But it's a topic which people feel obsessive about and so a) it gets bogged down in weird details sometimes and b) it attracts a lot of new/inexperienced/one-topic editors (including me). I think that with the attention of some old hand Wikipedians it could reach Featured Article status.Katsam 07:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

  • This Core Biography article is in sad shape. Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War and his writing is still considered influential today. His Wikipedia article, however, is barely more than a stub. --Kaldari 19:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Actually, I agree. However, as per the article itself, the subject is one about whom very little, if anything, seems to be known. I don't know how to improve an article when there is apparently very little information on the subject available. Do you have any ideas? Alternately, if the article is, as is, basically complete, there does exist ample precedent that it could be nominated for possibly even FA despite its brevity. Maybe something like that might be the way to go. John Carter 19:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

  • An article with a very good amount of information from one side of the discussion available. Unfortunately, this has a tendency to make the article one-sided and very POV.
