2003–04 Arsenal F.C. season

[edit]

I'm nominating this list for good topic status as it meets the criteria and is a complete account of Arsenal's 2003–04 season. Credit to Lemonade51 who did the hard work on getting the articles promoted. I'm ensuring they're recognised as a complete topic. NapHit (talk) 12:12, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments: The quality is there, but I have some comments. There's no category or navbox linking the articles, as recommended by GT criterion 1c; this isn't a bar to nomination, but it suggests that the scope isn't well-defined enough for anyone to have thought it merited a category. I guess the scope is currently "season and any matches notable enough to have their own articles"? Why aren't other matches that they played notable? The "Battle of Old Trafford" isn't treated as a particularly important or notable event in the season article (even the catchy name is piped away). It vaguely strikes me that The Invincibles (English football) might ought to be here, too? I can't tell what the scope is and why it was set there; no offense to the excellent articles! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:09, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'd say the scope is the season article and then notable matches during that season. There's precedent for this, as previous season topics are good topics. WP:FOOTY only creates articles for matches which have long-lasting significance. Such as the Battle of Old Trafford, which has been talked about for years afterwards. This goes along with the finals of cup competitions. Hence, why we don't include other matches played during the season. It was a notable match and gets more coverage than most of the other in the season article. Have to remember it's a season overview, so undue weight can't be given to one match. The Invincibles point is a good one. I can see an argument for and against including it. We probably need more comments on that to decide whether it should be included.

Hey Bryanrutherford0, do you have any further comments on this? NapHit (talk) 18:28, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd feel more comfortable supporting if "The Invincibles" were part of the nomination, since this topic is half of that article. Without that, I'm still neutral. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 21:01, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season

[edit]

With the recent promotion of 1999 FA Cup Final to GA status, I am nominating these four articles as a Good Topic relating to the 1998–99 Manchester United F.C. season. All of the nominated articles are GA class or above, although the only Featured Article among them is the least important to the set, 1998 FA Charity Shield. – PeeJay 08:09, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Congrats to User:KingSkyLord and User:Lemonade51 for their part in getting these articles to such a high standard. – PeeJay 08:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Black Mirror (2011–2019) is a British anthology television series created by Charlie Brooker. Across its 22 standalone episodes and the interactive film Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, it explores science fiction technologies and dystopias to make commentary on contemporary social issues. The series began on the British network Channel 4 before being commissioned by the online streaming platform Netflix. It garnered critical acclaim and, according to some commentators, led to a repopularisation of the anthology format.

This has been a project of mine for more than half of my time on Wikipedia, beginning with work on "Nosedive" in August 2017, the GA nom in September 2017 and the successful promotion in January 2018. However, the first entry in this list came from Gabriel Yuji, who took "White Bear" to GA. I owe a great deal to many editors and reviewers, including those who are no longer active. Some such people include Adamstom.97, Alex 21, Aoba47, Chairhandlers, Ed! Hameltion, J Milburn, Kingsif, Masem, The Rambling Man, Some Dude From North Carolina, Somethingwickedly and a vanished user whose name I will omit but not forget. (If you've been pinged here and don't know why, it's likely a GA review you did.) — Bilorv (talk) 13:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meet the Woo 2 is the second mixtape by American rapper Pop Smoke. It was released on February 7, 2020, less than two weeks before the rapper was shot and killed at the age of 20 during a home invasion in Los Angeles. After many months of bringing all the articles to GA; it is finally ready. You know I'm shooting for the stars, aiming for the moon 💫 (talk) 08:25, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bryan Rutherford Shoot! Thanks for catching that. You know I'm shooting for the stars, aiming for the moon 💫 (talk) 18:35, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments in the lead of Meet the Woo 2, you should not use "the mixtape" or "it" consecutively; once both have been used, write the album's title again. Also, I do not believe the term "the record" is appropriate for the lead. --K. Peake 18:55, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kyle Peake I have reworded the lead. You know I'm shooting for the stars, aiming for the moon 💫 (talk) 08:59, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support now, great work on this collection of articles! --K. Peake 20:18, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments I have some concerns regarding the source OnSMASH as it describes itself as a blog and the authors are people that go by the name "Legend" and "Viral MVP" on most news, so alter-egos, nothing else can be found online regarding them. The source can be found on "Christopher Walking", "War" and "Meet the Woo 2". Better remove said sources from those articles. I would avoid Facebook and tweet links, I'm sure that information can be replaced by a better source, present on "Meet the Woo 2". The same applies to Youtube links, those performances must have been covered by reliable sources, if not let the YouTube links. I do have some doubts regarding SOHH as a reliable source, you also forgot to add their writers, if you can prove its reliability. Let me know once you have addressed these issues. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:22, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
MarioSoulTruthFan I have removed SOHH and OnSmash as you have requested. Unfortunately, there are no reliable sources talking about Pop Smoke performing because he was just gaining fame, so the YouTube sources are the only sources to prove that Pop Smoke performed some of the songs from the mixtape. And regarding the Facebook and Twitter sources; those are from Pop Smoke's official accounts and talks about how the tour would have worked out if he was not shot dead. There are also no sources talking about how the tour would have worked out. You know I'm shooting for the stars, aiming for the moon 💫 (talk) 08:55, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A ref is missing on "Christopher Walking". MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:13, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
