Featuring the Burning Man festival while it was running would be a nice community gesture. (unsigned by JimD)

First of all, featured articles don't work that way. It is much more likly to get on the "In the news" section, if the page is updated for this year. Secondly, I object to this page being featured as it has no references at all. Gentgeen 05:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object. Not FA level. Also lacking references.--Alabamaboy 17:48, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Object. Has this even been through peer review? Too much insider/fannish writing. No references. -- Jmabel | Talk 03:44, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Object. Needs references, and frankly, the article reads more like a press release than an encylcopedia article (in agreement with Jmabel). The getting around section, as well as many others, are blatantly POV ("Walking is also a great way to get around").

Object. It has no references, which are a requirement for a FA. The travelogue-esque nature of several parts of the article is also a problem; it should read like an encyclopedia article, not an advice guide. It should have been peer reviewed before being put here. I also find it lacking in information as to what kinds of events go on there; I've seen numerous new articles about noteworthy artwork, tech, and other curiousities at Burning Man, yet I see none of them mentioned in this article (even that kid in the bubble at this year's event isn't mentioned, and he's been given quite a lot of coverage). Increase the details on what exactly goes on there. -- LGagnon 22:15, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
