[edit] Gospel of Judas

I am nominating this article, because I believe it to be a well written, informative, article that conveys more than the contribution of any single editor. ( I have also contributed to its development - so this is partial self-nomination )

The Gospel of Judas is a piece of work that was mentioned by early church fathers, often refuted as heretical. It had been lost, until a copy was found in Egypt in the 1970's. Its rediscovery, is also an interesting story because it found its way to academia though rather questionable channels. Recently featured in the news, this article developed extremely quickly without compromising the quality of the content.

Any discussions that took place, were civil. Compromise was established with little problem and in the end, I believe the strength of the article to be self evident. Not only is the subject of the article interesting, but the development of the article represents what Wikipedia is all about.

  • Comment. The article has a {{Current}} tag on it, meaning that it may not satisfy criteria 2, which requires it to be stable. Would it be worth waiting a little bit before nominating it ? Schutz 23:16, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. As above suggests, far too current to be stable. Wait a while. Daniel Case 00:12, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per above - too much a matter of immediate controversy. BD2412 T 00:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. Per above.Dwaipayanc 05:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. It's a decent article, it's just not stable. Wait a bit until everything cools off, then try again, for sure. Titoxd(?!? - help us) 06:15, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object per above, also please cite web references according to WP:CITE (it may be helpful to use {{Cite web}}). AndyZ t 14:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object. I've been helping a little with this article, believe it to be a solid article, yet I also feel that it won't be stable for a while: the text & translation of this work is expected this fall, & its publication must needs a lot of rewriting to this article. Further, this might not even be a good candidate for WP:GA -- although LinuxDude is welcome to submit it there. -- llywrch 20:35, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Object, articles that are current events are not stable to be FAs due to changing content and updates. Try again in future. --Terence Ong 02:10, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
