I'm very interested in genealogy and music--Newwiki

Wikipedia:WikiProject Music may be of interest. Genealogy doesn't appear to be as active as music in Wikipedia. If you were looking for a specific task you could try expanding the Bulbul tarang article, I know a user who would appreciate that.--Commander Keane 20:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re-nomination of the article George W. Bush on WP:FAC

I saw that you recently re-added the closed aeatured article candidacy page for the article George W. Bush to the main Featured Article Candidates page. If you want to re-nominate the article, it is customary to move the old nomination to a new sub-page and then created a brand-new nomination page. If you really want to see George W. Bush become a featured article, you will likely need to work very hard on that page in order to fix things that other people object to. Even if you are willing to do this, you will face a couple of serious obstacles. Firstly, because George W. Bush is such a frequent target for vandals, that page is often semi-protected from edits by anonymous users or brand-new registered ones. So, it will probably be a few days before you will be able to do much work on the page. Secondly, and more seriously, many users objected to the previous nomination on the grounds that, because Bush is the current President of the United States, his article may be subject to sudden changes as world events unfold, and thus fails the requirement that featured articles be stable. If you want to make improvements on the George W. Bush article, you might want to edit some other pages for a few days, and then start work on George W. Bush once the semi-protection policy is no longer preventing you from doing so. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them on my talk page.
