[edit] Notes

I've added a couple short reminders of which each short term means. I'd suggest 6b is unneccesary, unless it's being used to excuse the article from needing images. Adam Cuerden talk 21:52, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GAList used prior to criteria revamp

With the recent revamp of Good article criteria, the item numbering is different now than it was before (for example, the current 1B used to be 1C; 2C was 2D). As such, any uses of the template prior to the change are now not actually correct, since the arguments used for each item in the old style will not necessarily correspond anymore. Is there any plan to correct this, or do the old uses not matter anymore? —Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 18:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like bot work, anyone who substituted the template, as generally recommended with templates would be in the clear. Perhaps we should add info somewhere on the GA instructions at GAC about substituting the teplate, i.e {{subst:GAList}}. IvoShandor 06:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suggested arguments

I would suggest that an emphatic aye argument be added as well as an irrelevant argument, unless this is what leaving it blank is for. Atropos 18:22, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WTF???

Should the wtf be changed, at first glance I thought it was vandalism. T Rex | talk 01:27, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Zealous vigilance should be upheld in ensuring the tone of the Product is as sanitized and colourless as rationally possible. Skomorokh incite 18:01, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
