I'm self-nominating this article for featured article because, it received good article status several months ago, and recently undergone a peer review. The article looks well presented, well written and well formatted. Hpfan9374 (talk) 03:26, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm the editor who heavily revised the text and successfully brought Harry and the Potters through the GA process. I endorse Hpfan9374 (talk · contribs)'s nomination. I'm available to revise the article when and if necessary. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 20:08, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose
- MOS breaches - harry and the potters, wizard rock (bands and genres aren't italicised), Harry Potter, when referring to the book series, should be italicised, the quotes need formatting.
- Prose - Very choppy; the lead is a mess - just one para, very poor prose; many small, stubby paras; unencyclopedic language: "the end is not in sight", "they are not alone", "the humor is readily apparent". Also there too many quotes.
- Citations - For some reason, arbitrary fans' opinions gave been quoted. Many claims have not been cited at all.
