I would like to nominate this list for FL status because I feel it follows FL criteria. This is a list of 46 color woodblock prints by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). It would be great to have this article achieve FL status. Gruznov Mikhail (talk) 17:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The lead needs expand, and would it be possible to add the date (or year) that the print was created? -- Scorpion0422 19:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Looks great! I do have a few suggestions/questions though:
- Does the number column relate to an actual numbering system given to the pieces, or are they just to aid the reader? Along the same lines, are these in any specific order? Chronological?
- I agree with Scorpion above, some dates (even if approximate) would be very helpful. If this is possible, I would recommend putting it in it's own column between No. and Image.
- It appears that the transcription column is merely romanji of the Japanese text, no? I don't know if this is worthy of it's own column. What I would recommend is putting it in parenthesis after the Kanji (ie: 凱風快晴 (Gaifu kaisei) )
- Also per Scorpion, the lead should definitely be expanded.
- I believe artwork titles are usually italicized.
- I also think the heading of the third column should "Title" not "Name".
- The lack of sources is also troubling. If a general source of information could be provided, that would be great. See any other FLs for examples of how to format something like that (Nine Inch Nails discography, for example).Drewcifer (talk) 23:47, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Namely due to the above, and an apparent lack of movement to take suggestions into account. Drewcifer (talk) 18:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The 'name' column needs some help: Capitalization is not always appropriate; 'the xxx province' usually should be just 'xxx province'. Hmains (talk) 04:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose It's nice to see a list where every row has an image, but no sign that the above concerns are being addressed has been given. -- Scorpion0422 20:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
