[edit] Photo requests

This article would be greatly assisted by some photographs for which a great deal of hard-to-follow verbiage now serves:

• close up of an LED brick
• close up of the water spout
• close up of the top
• overview and close up of the LED supporting structure

[edit] GA On Hold

I have placed this article on hold because of one thing. The opening sentence of the article says that the fountain is 'interactive,' however, after reading the article through, I fail to find out how the fountain is interactive. Since this seems to be an important part of the fountain, this needs to be added before the article can become a GA. If this is indeed in the article, it should be clarified, because I, as an outside reader, was not able to determine it. When you are done, or if you have any questions, drop a note on my talk page.

Note the sentence "a plastic nozzle was fitted to the stainless steel frame to control the waterflow at a rate that will not cause the city to be liable for injury by interactive participants" discusses interactivity. I will add more.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Passed

I have passed this article for GA as the issue above was resolved. It's an interesting article on an interesting topic. Keep working on it! Cheers, Corvus coronoides _{talk 16:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)}

This article doesn't have a lead. It could be broken down into a few sections. It's also overly illustrated, sandwiching text between images. LARA♥LOVE 22:40, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] comment

not only not in this sentence; In fact, many report that they have not only not seen their own digitized image, but have yet to hear of anyone who has seen their own image Negation Use consider revising.SriMesh | talk 03:15, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article

I believe this is a fantastic article, but I was surprised when I found out it was only a GA. I think this article could presently pass a FA assessment, and if not, it could with a couple of edits. I am willing to help out to get this article to FA status. Right now, I am going to put the article up for peer review in the hopes of getting this ball rolling.

[edit] Copy Editing

So, I have a new version of this article ready to go with a few more copy edits, but I was unable to post it because you have started to revert the edits. I've looked through the article's FAC pages several times and I am inclined to agree with the user TONY. The article is far too overlinked. While I believe some of his suggestions are go overboard, I too think you go a bit overboard. There needs to be a compromise, though it doesn't seem as though you are will to compromise.
