Troll (research station)
[edit]
This good topic nomination covers the topic of Norway's main research station in the Antarctic. Associated with the station are two facilities with sufficient notability and scope for their own article, the airfield and the satellite ground station. Arsenikk (talk) 19:51, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
- Tor (research station) might be a fine addition. Nergaal (talk) 01:19, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- My line of thought was that this topic would be a subtopic of a potential Norway in the Antarctic, which would include Tor, Maudheim, Norway Station (both defunct stations), Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (subtopic), Amundsen's South Pole expedition (FA), subtopic with among other Polheim and Framheim, Queen Maud Land (GA) and Peter I Island (GA).
Can we get some comments so that we can get a consensus? GamerPro64 15:41, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support. The proposed larger topic seems reasonable, I see no problem with this as a narrow division thereof. Interesting subject, too. GRAPPLE X 14:09, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support A very well self-contained set of articles. And I rather like the idea of the larger topic proposed above for future expansion, though it seems like it will be quite a bit of work to do to get that one ready, considering the state of and nonexistence of some of the articles. I see no issues with this set of articles though. SilverserenC 06:21, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

All articles meet required criteria. --— ΛΧΣ21™ 05:24, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- Comment. Topic itself looks fine, would be glad to support it, but you'll need to put together a book for it. Help:Books should help walk you through it. An image would also be a good idea; File:Arjona.jpg would probably work. GRAPPLE X 11:03, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- I will do the book ASAP. I will use another image, as that one is not my favorite. Regards. — ΛΧΣ21™ 15:01, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
- That's fine, the image itself isn't hugely important as long as it looks okay on a small scale. GRAPPLE X 13:36, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- /Book and image done. — ΛΧΣ21™ 15:36, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose per precedent, Metamorfosis World Tour needs to be included. Nergaal (talk) 16:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Will the tour be heading to GAN soon? Wizardman 01:45, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes. Luckily, this month. — ΛΧΣ21™ 01:55, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
- Metamorfosis World Tour is at GAN now. — ΛΧΣ21™ 04:20, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. Until the article is reviewed and passed or failed this has to stay open. Wizardman 16:13, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. — ΛΧΣ21™ 18:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
- Update: The Metamorfosis World Tour isn't over and won't be anytime soon. So, i will take it to peer review by now. — ΛΧΣ21™ 01:42, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Once it gets the peer review I'll close this. Wizardman 04:51, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Another warships good topic for you. I've written the three ship articles, while Sturm has overhauled the class page and has generally turned the content on the ships articles into something resembling English, for which I'd like to thank him. Anyways, here it is. Buggie111 (talk) 05:03, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support, great job to all involved in the quality improvement efforts, a nice tight high quality topic. — Cirt (talk) 06:22, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

- We can't help it. We might need rehab if this goes any further. Buggie111 (talk) 15:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support There's really not much to say. Yet another perfectly formed battleships topic put forward. These are always perfect and complete and everything. I don't know how you guys churn these out so quickly. Way more diligence and patience than I would have for continually working on the same topic. Maybe that's why I only have the one Good Article. :P SilverserenC 06:25, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Here we have the third season of The X-Files, which is generally regarded – by fans and critics – as the best year the show ever produced. Some really stellars episodes are included, such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" and "Jose Chung's From Outer Space". I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' third season, which limits it to a well-defined scope. The articles follow a solid formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other. In addition, the individual episode pages read as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, but also stand on their own and present their information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --Gen.

- Support excellent work.--Tomcat (7) 19:45, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- Support I was happy to have reviewed one of these for GA and glad to support the topic. Excellent effort by all concerned. - SchroCat (talk) 13:41, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- Support as usual. I'm wondering how long til all of X-Files is done :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Biographies of all the senior commanders in the South West Pacific Area during World War II --Hawkeye7 (talk) 19:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support Looks great. Buggie111 (talk) 20:21, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment. Generally sound, seems an interesting topic. However, several of the links are redirects, which would need fixed (Ralph Christie -> Ralph Waldo Christie for example). Are any of the A-Class articles headed to FAC within the next few days? I ask as the topic is two FAs off being an FT, but it's easy to upgrade a GT if this passes before that happens. GRAPPLE X 20:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- I've removed the redirects. My intention was that the A-class articles on Robert L. Eichelberger, Walter Krueger, Iven Mackay, Leslie Morshead, Sydney Rowell and Vernon Sturdee will all eventually go to FAC, but because I have another article at FAC, none can be nominated before December. Articles take a month to pass FAC, and do so one at a time, so the topic will be FT-ready by mid-2013. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:06, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- That's fine; had assumed co-noms would be possible what with two contributors to the topic but the bump from GT to FT is just a matter of changing the page where the topic is transcluded so ping me any time this rises to 13 FAs. With the links now fixed I don't see any problem with this one. GRAPPLE X 21:11, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

- Contributor(s): User:Axem Titanium; other major contributors to the articles themselves include User:Guyinblack25 and User:JimmyBlackwing (PN03), User:Hibana (Viewtiful Joe), and User:Niemti (RE4)
Looks like this doesn't have 50% FA so how do I nominate it for GT? :) User:GamerPro64 suggested that I nominate this after RE4 hit GA in October. I've worked on three of these articles, Capcom Five, Killer7, and PN03 (the latter as a copyeditor and supporting contributor; Guy and Jimmy did the heavy lifting IIRC), so I can vouch for their quality. Viewtiful Joe (A-class) and RE4 both read very well now, and RE4 especially has come a long way since I last saw it. You may be confused as to why the Capcom Five topic only has 4 sub-articles but this is because the 5th game, Dead Phoenix, does not have its own article. I don't believe there are any other gaps or potential articles to expand the scope of the topic to. --Axem Titanium (talk) 15:53, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support. I remember reviewing the parent article before, and read the others out of curiosity at that time. I do wonder if it's a good idea to include a piped link to Capcom Five#Dead Phoenix, marked with
to indicate it has received a review (as part of the full article) while not being a reviewed article itself. It's technically unnecessary but if the other delegates are okay with the idea it would be a good way to explain the "four is not five" question. GRAPPLE X 16:01, 27 November 2012 (UTC) - Support, but no need for a link to Dead Phoenix- if it doesn't have an article there's no point faking one for the box. --PresN 17:09, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Good to see that this has finally made it to GTC. I'd forgotten that I contributed to the topic—otherwise, I'd give it a support. The only potential gap in coverage I can see (and this is a long shot) is Shinji Mikami, since he oversaw the games. However, in my opinion, his article shouldn't be added, since the topic is about the games themselves. Anyway, great work. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 17:16, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support great job. igordebraga ≠ 22:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

It's a reasonably comprehensive, if specific, topic. It is my belief that the Armero tragedy was a major disaster and I have dedicated this work to spreading awareness of the potent threat posed by volcanic eruptions. The topic includes the disaster, of course, along with the volcano responsible for it and the notable victim who garnered international attention for her plight. --ceranthor 21:14, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support, quite educational and encyclopedic. — Cirt (talk) 06:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support. Unusual topic, probably the first in such a field. Still waiting on the bot to assemble a book report but I don't see any issue with the individual articles or the scope involved. GRAPPLE X 21:25, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
- Support I had a read through before my nom, (to see if I could nick any ideas), and I'm impressed by the articles. I can see that there is no need for a navbox to link these articles, great job Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:44, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
