[edit] QI

previous FAC

This article is a self-nomination. Since the last nomination, I have tried to improve the images and copyedited the article. The article has also been subject to a peer review. I believe that this article is now good enough for featured status. NB: the external links, which include a blog, have been extensivly discussed on the article's talk page, and are considered to be acceptable under WP:EL. ISD 12:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Strong Oppose Good start but really for nomination yet. More needed about the history, development and reception of the show. More about format in the lead. I also don't the way the shows own archive is the main reference. Buc 18:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Response: Has as already been metioned in the previous nomination, the Wikipedia list of episodes are the most complete list of QI episodes know on the internet (at least to my knowledge) and therefore the most accurate when referencing individual episodes. ISD 19:50, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Oppose A lot of what seem to have been flippant blog answers or a light-hearted interview, or even pieces written to entertain on a DVD rather than intended to be strictly true are cited as uncontrovertible fact. Kevin McE 12:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Comment It would be rather good to have more information on the QI building in Oxford, or at least to explain why a quiz show needs a building! MLilburne 16:01, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Response to Comment I've included some more information on the building. The building is where most of QI's research is carried out. ISD 17:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
