[edit] New Orleans Mint
Self-nomination. I think most of the issues that can be resolved for this page have been resolved. There's no way to get around the "long list at the bottom" unless you just cut that out of the article, which makes no sense, because it's relevant encyclopedic information. Anybody have ideas about how to reference information found in the Min Museum itself? That's honestly the references that need to be added. [posted by Absecon 59 00:14, 25 November 2005]

- Comment. Why didn't you submit this to Peer Review after that was suggested in the previous nomination? This nomination seems to be an attempt to get feedback on how best to handle various problems with the article (like the fact that half of the article is a ridiculously enormous list; note that there's a separate FA for Wikipedia:Featured lists), not an attempt to nominate an article as one of Wikipedia's best. -Silence 04:18, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: In addition to what Silence says above, Image:NOmintpostcard.jpg appears to be missing. Andrew Levine 04:28, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose The article is in a poor textual arrangement. The images scatter haphazardly. The long lists at the bottom can be tabulised. It's better off to fix the article, getting things shipshape, before the nomination.
- Object, same reasons as before:
- The images Image:1907 NOMintpostcard.jpg has no source information.
- The image Image:NO Mint Booklet 2.jpg is claimed as GFDL. However, it appears to be a "slavishly accurate" reproduction of a two-dimensional work, and thus is not eligable for copyright. Further, the subject of the image may be copyrighted, in which case the only possible license terms would be "fair use" (which would be hard to claim, as this image is not essential to the article).
- The image Image:NOmintpostcard.jpg is missing.
