[edit] Note
Per discussion on Wikipedia talk:Vital articles, have added Gilbert and/or Sullivan to the expanded list. Adam Cuerden talk 12:11, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Are both of them important enough to merit inclusion? You gave the impression on the VA talk page that Gilbert was primarily the one who merits listing. -Silence 12:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Gilbert is probably a little more important than Sullivan, due to his influence in other fields - The Bab Ballads, say, or his preparing the way for George Bernard Shaw and so on, but Sullivan's enduring popularity and constant performance - few cities in the Western world don't have G&S performed at least every couple years, and also being one of the fathers of modern musicals - do make at least as good of a case for him as The Beatles or Aretha Franklin, in my opinion. However, if you disagree, how about just putting a note about "See also Gilbert and Sullivan next to W. S. Gilbert? Adam Cuerden talk 13:01, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I have added Dhaka, a featured article. It's the capital of Bangladesh and home to almost 100 million people, making it one of the mega cities of the world. --Ragib 08:15, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stars
Should we also add featured stars and GA symbol to the expanded lists' articles that have already reached those qualities? OhanaUnitedTalk page 09:29, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- It's probably not worth the trouble unless it's to be regularly maintained by a bot. —dv82matt 12:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
