  • Has a CIA map and a map of the administrative divisions. What specific map did you have in mind? --Golbez 21:07, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • The map does not show for me, but the box does. Maurreen 01:46, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms of War on Terrorism*

Reason
Writing needs work. It's not cohesive and there are grammar problems. Attribution is also weak. On the other hand, this could become contentious.

  • Totally agree. Important but volitile subject; heavily POV just now. -Litefantastic 17:48, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Culture*

Reason
The article is now fairly deep but narrow.

[edit] Graphic design*

[edit] Poetry*

Reason
Saw this on the Wikipedia: featured article removal candidates. It's a holdover from the less stringent FA rules, I'd guess. It definitely needs work -- that list is ugly, it's nowhere near comprehensive and there's a single reference! --Dmcdevit 07:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pope John Paul I*

Reason

I tried to get this passed to FA, but couldn't. Too heavily biased and very rumor-ridden, it needs help.

  • Not that far away from FA, methinks. It needs POV patching and maybe some reasearch, but the framework is there. -Litefantastic 17:46, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Voyager 1*

Reason
Both the voyager missions did a lot of science and very little is covered in the article.

[edit] Non-Aligned Movement*

Reason
Extensively linked-to article which is currently very far from comprehensive and lacks references.

  • I tried to get this passed to FA twice, and was shut down both times. When I discovered the COTW, I posted it there, but had to remove it when they told me things had to be stubs. Perhaps it will do better here. -Litefantastic 00:17, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
