Wikipedia:Featured and good topic candidates/Addition log/2011

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/National Basketball Association awards for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. IBM Award

The above article, about an NBA Award that is now defunct, had not even been created when the featured topic had been established. It was promoted to FL earlier today. Propose adding it to existing list Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 16:42, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Might be a good time to do some cleanup in those while we're at it. The book report says at least List of NBA Champions, NBA Sportsmanship Award, and NBA All-Rookie Team contain deadlinks. The "Ext links" tool (right hand side of the book report) might reveal more. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 16:49, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did the check and those are the only three with dead links. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 16:53, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The three deadlinks involved NBA Hall of Fame-related articles that migrated. The links should work now, although the bot hasn't parsed that they're gone yet Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 17:31, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chrono titles (3rd supplementary nomination)

[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Chrono titles for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes

Procedural nom - as per the retention period, Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes has been GA'd by User:GamerPro64 and now needs to be added to the existing Chrono titles topic. We're a little over the time limit, but everything should be fine now, and there shouldn't be any problems. --PresN 20:16, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took care of the Chronicles dead link. GamerPro64 05:11, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Victoria Cross (1st supplementary nomination)

[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Victoria Cross for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. List of Victoria Cross recipients (A–F)
  2. List of Victoria Cross recipients (G–M)
  3. List of Victoria Cross recipients (N–Z)
  4. Wikipedia:Featured topics/Lists of Victoria Cross recipients by campaign as a subtopic

It has taken a while to get this supplementary nom but it is my pleasure to bring you this supplementary nom for your consideration. As was stated in the campaigns FTC (and confirmed by another FTC nom last year) it has always been my ultimate intention to have the Victoria Cross topic looking like this. It has taken a while to get the alphabetical lists up to scratch but now they are, I think this is a complete topic. Thanks, Woody (talk) 21:19, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Is there a reason why the Canadian Victoria Cross doesn't follow the same naming convention as the other countries? That looks pretty odd to me. Also, the Canada article has some dead links in it (current ref 8). Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 23:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes there is. Canada created a new Victoria Cross and named it the Victoria Cross (without the "for Canada"). The Canadian VC is a completely new medal, made of new material, with a slightly amended design. OZ and NZ used exactly the same medals, same gunmetal etc, they just gave them new names using the "for ..." suffix. Hence why there is the slight difference in naming convention. We are in effect using the official names and as such it would be misleading to change it to VC for Canada as that isn't what it is called. I've remedied the dead links thanks. Woody (talk) 07:43, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question why not just merge in the sub-topic, and have one large VC topic? BencherliteTalk 09:30, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that was covered in the two FTCs previously (the campaign one and a merge request. Essentially, I think using a sub-topic is the best way to present it. The topic would look messy in my opinion if you had all of the campaign lists in one box. I don't think it is "excessively sub-divided" rather it is a logical and aesthetic way of displaying the information. Woody (talk) 10:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have no strong opinions either way, so will be guided by you. Support good work. Have a FT Campaign Medal and a Long Service With Good Conduct Medal for your efforts. BencherliteTalk 11:18, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, there are still several deadlinks in those articles. Namely, in Victoria Cross, Victoria Cross for Australia, Victoria Cross (Canada), Victoria Cross for New Zealand, List of Crimean War Victoria Cross recipients, List of First World War Victoria Cross recipients. See the "Ext links" tool in the book reports (right hand side). Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 06:31, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the deadlinks now, (not really "still" given that the Canadian deadlinks appeared in the last 5 days.) All the medal articles should be clean of them now. Thanks, Woody (talk) 09:10, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

M.I.A. albums (2nd supplementary nomination)

[edit]

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/M.I.A. albums for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:

  1. Vicki Leekx

Adding the new mixtape which was released on 31/12/10 and which was just promoted to GA -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm talking about the report given by the external links tool. The "ultratop" (ref ~#100) link is dead. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 22:38, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That report is wrong, the link works just fine -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:02, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Closed with consensus to promote. The book report has been updated and every link is o.k. GamerPro64 (talk) 19:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
