Good topic candidates: view - edit - history

Contributor(s): Gen. Quon, Trust Is All You Need

I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' sixth 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. Quon (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]


  • Sorry about the dead links, those were in articles that had already been GA'd before I started. I believe I've fixed them. Also, are links that require subscriptions bad? All the ones that are password-protected are from Databases of newspaper archives, so I can remove the url if need be.--Gen. Quon (talk) 01:49, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Battleships of Greece

[edit]

Another topic on the battleships of a country, this topic comprises two ships that were purchased from the US Navy and a third that was ordered from Germany but not completed due to the outbreak of World War I; a fourth ship ordered from France was also not completed, but there is not sufficient material on it to warrant an individual article. Parsecboy (talk) 11:57, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Contributor(s): Grapple X; Gen. Quon

Following the successful nomination of Volume 1, I bring you Volume 2 of an eventual five-part topic series. This collection covers episodes of The X-Files ranging from 1995–1997; the scope is well-defined in the parent article as encompassing a given set of entries and each entry has been brought to GA status individually. For those who care, this collection covers the main episodes in a story arc involving a mind-altering alien virus, and probably represent the most depressing instalments in the series' run (if we don't count depressingly bad as plain depressing). Multiple recurring character deaths, a lead character with a terminal illness and a bald man in his boxer shorts all await you. --GRAPPLE X 04:24, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FL + GAs = GT. --Nergaal (talk) 03:41, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]


  • Support. Although I did contribute to about half of these, and I beefed up quite a few, I support this overall promotion. (Also, I changed the Contributors... You missed my name, and I don't think Grapple X worked on these).--Gen. Quon (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, for some reason I thought he did the work that you actually did. Must be because of the same initial. Sorry about that!. Nergaal (talk) 18:30, 6 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 04:53, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. All seems in order. Thankfully it's Gervais-free, too. And I'll take credit if you're handing it out, haven't edited a single article here though. :P GRAPPLE X 21:54, 7 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Well done and complete. Glimmer721 talk 02:12, 9 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose just had a quick look at the FL, I know it's only "good topic" but it has some things that should be addressed, right now it's not up to scratch:
  • Main list, there's a raw URL showing, which promotes link rot.
  • For that ref (ref 17), what makes lamoltihalstein.wordpress.com a reliable source?
  • It fails to meet WP:DASH per the MOS.
  • References are incomplete, e.g. ref 4 has a publication date and an author which should be added. Others should be checked.
  • Refs 19 and 20 are dead.
  • Graph caption doesn't need a period.
  • "a single-DVD" why is that hyphenated.
  • TVGuide should be TV Guide right? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:48, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I hope that wasn't supposed to be snippy, because I wasn't trying to be snarky. I just meant where in the article are there dash violations? I'll fix them, I just can't find them.--Gen. Quon (talk) 04:28, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There was one on the Pilot article, but I fixed. TBrandley 04:34, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thank you all for your good work in fixing the list. As opposed to those who think this is just about grouping stuff together for yet another star, those of you who've worked to fix issues have improved Wikipedia. Well done. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:26, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note of course I assume that all the "supporters" have checked over the constituent members of this proposed good topic for ongoing compliance with their various criteria? I would hate to think the that just because a few green plus signs and the odd bronze star awarded a few years ago would be sufficient for all the supporters? The Rambling Man (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be fair, none of the concerns raised above are hugely serious and took one editor a brief period of time to address; and I can't actually see the MOS:DASH non-compliance myself despite having looked twice. As is my usual practice when a nomination comes in here, I gave each of the GA articles a look and was satisfied; and assumed in good faith that the FL would have reached that status after having been thoroughly vetted by several editors and at least one delegate. GTCs move slowly and those with any opposition are often left longer to ensure they aren't promoted with issues left unaddressed, your four-day old concerns will be seen to long before this is considered for closing.

    My concerns are, just that, my concerns. This process seems little more than a "tick-in-the-box" process (i.e. all have a star/green cross, vote "support"!) and I've suddenly discovered topics being nominated with main articles which are way below current standards. If a main article/list was promoted two or three years ago (e.g. main list here was promoted in March 2008), it needs a closer look. I think this featured topic process needs analysis, especially given all the glib "support" for a topic with 14+ articles where it's clear the articles haven't been looked at at all by any of the voters.

    I will for sure agree with The Rambling Man for en-dashes. TBrandley 22:30, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: This is not FLC, FLRC, FAC, FAR, GAN, or GAR. This is FTC, and here the only question should be whether a group of articles together meet the Featured topic criteria. We rely on the other Wikipedia projects to determine the quality of individual articles. Rreagan007 (talk) 23:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment then the process needs amending to at least ensure that the constituent parts of a topic at least still even vaguely meet their criteria. The fact you're happy to support topics whose articles contain maintenance tags is staggering and really undermines the value of a "featured topic". The Rambling Man (talk) 07:24, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no problem with you pointing out deficiencies in topic articles during the featured topic nomination process. It is always good to try to improve articles. My main point is that we can not be expected to do all the work of GAR, FLRC, and FAR here. I have always considered it a positive thing that featured topics relies on the other quality assessment projects on Wikipedia. If you'd like, we can discuss this further on the talk page. It's not really appropriate to continue this discussion on a nomination.

Another class of German cruisers, these are the first protected cruisers built by the Imperial Navy. This is the first component of this planned topic. Parsecboy (talk) 16:48, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This topic was delisted last December because Rewrite had not become at least a GA within the grace period. Now that it finally is a GA, I'm renominating the topic. -- 21:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An uneven season of an interesting series; I've managed to claw together enough sources to bring each episode up to GA status after discovering that the parent article had been promoted thanks to Trust Is All You Need and Jezhotwells. I also owe Gen. Quon a huge favour for reviewing 22 of these articles, which is a great commitment to the GA process. GRAPPLE X 14:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC) --GRAPPLE X 14:16, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns brought up previously (quality of a sub-article) have been met and a new addition has been made to this potential Good Topic. Main article covers the basics of every storm while the sub-articles cover the most notable systems in-depth. In regards to a previous comment about the potential for Hurricane Ismael having an article, there isn't enough information available on it to warrant an article (everything is easily relayed through the season article). --Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:55, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a complete topic that lists all 22 episodes of the third season of the television series Fringe. All 22 have attained GA status, as has the parent article. Nothing else can be added to it. It has been the work of over a year, but finally the topic is finished! Thanks in advance for your comments. --Ruby 2010/2013 00:40, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


This topic contains all 13 episodes as well as the main series article for Doctor Who's fifth series. This is my first endeavor at GTC and, if passed, will become WP:WHO's first GT. I have worked on this for almost a year and it contains my first television GAs. I've learned a lot through this and will try to keep the articles up to quality.

"Any generation that would pick Kurt or me as its spokesman -- that must be a pretty fucked up generation, don't you think?" - Eddie Vedder. Anyway, given Kurt's band gave the precedent for this topic, let's just say it is a topic with a clear scope: Pearl Jam's nine studio albums, all GAs, and the FT discography as the main article. --igordebraga 03:07, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose based simply on the issues with the lead item, the FL. It has a maintenance tag (link rot) and is a good example of an old-fashioned featured list. It needs updating to meet current standards. At a quick glance, there are some completely unreferenced releases (e.g. Live at the Showbox, "Chloe Dancer"), some completely unreferenced charts (e.g. CAN and CAN Alt in the "Other charted songs" section), a completely unreferenced section (the "Other appearances" section), some link issues, and I believe none of the tables meet MOS:DTT, a requirement of featured lists. It would be a shame to go to the trouble of promoting this to a featured topic when the lead article needs so much work to remain featured. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:36, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on these five articles since late 2011, and finally, all of them have been promoted to GA. - I think all of my hard work deserves this. :) --Khanassassin 12:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the seventh season of The X-Files. Generally regarded as the point where the show should have naturally ended (Strangely enough, its one of my favorite seasons), it is comprised of 22 episodes. I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' seventh 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.

The season that the fans will never stop arguing over; with season 8 came the addition of John Doggett, who, although a great character, was no Mulder (IMHO). I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' eighth season, which limits it to a well-defined scope.

  • Comment. As the primary author of one of these articles I'm not sure I can support but I do believe all the articles are in good shape and have no outstanding maintenance tags; the scope is complete and the articles feature a great level of consistency which makes them a natural fit for reading as a series. GRAPPLE X 00:31, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I reviewed one of these and the rest are all up to the same quality. The topic article, while promoted to GA a couple of years ago, is still up to date. Glimmer721 talk 17:42, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
