Self-nominator Well, here goes nothing. I did my best to find all the necessary references, and improve the article as a whole. Gocsa (talk) 13:31, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Restart, old nom. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, I am satisfied with the prose carried over from the previous nom. Additionally, I was one of the editors who nitpicked over the sources until Gocsa was about to start throwing tomatoes at me, and I'm satisfied with them as well. I helped look up some more reliable sources and I believe anything questionable has been sourced to a reliable source. There are a few borderline sources but they are not backing up anything major so I'm willing to include them on the "reliable" side of the border. I encourage editors who oppose based on sources to make it actionable by calling out which specific sources you are questioning. I will work with Gocsa to find alternate sources as appropriate. --Laser brain (talk) 23:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This source in particular still concerns me. As I didn't follow the majority of the last FAC, has anything been found that proves this to be an RS? Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone
- I agree. The nominator should probably ask about it at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. — Wackymacs (talk ~ edits) 14:52, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Does the testimonials page help at all? That is enough to satisfy me. --Laser brain (talk) 00:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, that's good for that particular source. Still some more which concern me, and some prose issues which I'll point out tomorrow. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support — Well written and sourced article. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 21:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]
- Support I've been satisfied with this article since the peer review. Burningclean [speak] 05:40, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support per my support last time and no outstanding issues here. giggy (:O) 10:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, The article is well written, dynamic, objective and with beautiful layout. Cannibaloki 17:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- My only problem, as nominator:), is ref2, the radio transcript from the fan site, is it possible to cite it using Template:Cite episode? I only have the month, and year of the interview, the name of the programme, the radio, and the interviewer, maybe this is enough. Gocsa (talk) 13:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
