Confessions

Confessions

6 articles

"Yeah!"

"Burn"

"Confessions Part II"

"My Boo"

"Caught Up"

Contributor(s): Et 3 rnal, Dan56

I am nominating these articles for good topic as "Yeah!" was again promoted to GA, now meeting the criteria for good topic. The four singles were updated and cleaned-up to better meet the GA standards, with Dan56 keeping maintenance on Confessions, while being the main contributor of the article. Et 3 rnal 17:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I made a comment (elsewhere) about a lack of consistency with section headings. This has been addressed, any remaining differences being for obvious reasons. I can't see any other obvious problems, supporting now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - everything is in order. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should The Truth Tour have an article? Nergaal (talk) 01:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Truth Tour was nationwide, and didn't have that many tour dates. I don't think it would suffice Wikipedia:Notability. Et 3 rnal 11:21, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then the tour should have its own decent paragraph in the album article. Nergaal (talk) 16:44, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get one made soon. Et 3 rnal 18:35, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've expanded the section with a condensed synopsis of the tour, as well as other stuff. Et 3 rnal 21:10, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Conditional~~ Support if the dead links on the main article are fixed. igordebraga ≠ 23:16, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've replaced most of the links, while removing the rest that I couldn't replace, along with its information. Et 3 rnal 20:22, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

2001–02 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season

5 articles

Tropical Storm Cyprien

Cyclone Dina

Cyclone Hary

Cyclone Kesiny

Contributor(s): User:Hurricanehink, User:Cyclonebiskit

This one slipped through the cracks. I finished working on it several months ago. All of the articles are up to par, and no additional articles can be made. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:33, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Assuming it's comprehensive (I'm no expert), the other criteria appear to be reached. Headings are consistent with other related GTs, as well as internally Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The TS has 2 fatalities and 200k damages. Does it really deserve an article? Nergaal (talk) 01:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think given the amount of information, it warrants having a sub-article. Otherwise, it'd be too long for the main article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:32, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikipedia is not paper, in theory there is no limit to the number of articles WPTC can have. Long story short, it's a modern-era landfalling tropical storm that did real impact and is of decent quality. Any storm that meets this is IMO article worthy, and Cyprien does. The bottom line is that there is enough content to have a storm article and that is arguable the most important thing. Either way, I support this wonderful topic.

Comment - im not sure that Cyprien is up to scratch since the main report from RSMC La Reunion on the cyclone is not included and contains a full life history on the cyclone.Jason Rees (talk) 16:40, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good call. I didn't work on Cyprien at all (it was written and was a GA before I started the topic). I'll make sure it gets added. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:42, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, it's added now. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:31, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Im still not sure that it is up to scratch and think that there are a few more things added like more impact from the Google news archives, who named it and data from the advisories issued by both the JTWC and Reunion that are archived in the document marked severe here.Jason Rees (talk) 23:25, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is. I added the naming per the season summary, but the the MH is comprehensive enough for GA, and none of the Google news sources have any additional info. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it's enough to meet the criteria. Not the best GA ever, but no the worst. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Minotaur-class cruiser (1906)

Minotaur-class cruiser (1906)

4 articles

HMS Minotaur

HMS Shannon

HMS Defence

These armoured cruisers were built for the Royal Navy in the decade before the First World War. Two were stationed abroad when the war began and unsuccessfully attempted to hunt down German ships. Returning home, all three were assigned to the Grand Fleet during the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Defence was sunk there by the concentrated fire of several German capital ships. The two surviving ships were sold for scrap after the war.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 07:29, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support ~~Comments~~ from Jim Minor point: why not just link cwt instead of bothering with a footnote: Major point, and what is stopping me supporting at present; there seems to be no consistency in section headings (even when they are talking about the same things, eg service history/career). I'm no expert, so you will have to convince me that there is some logic to this before I can support Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Simply linking the abbreviation was criticized at FAC for another British ship, so I've added the note ever since. Headings standardized.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:16, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One minor nitpick is that in the articles for the individual ships, you have included the ship's name in the caption, which is contra mos because images are assumed to be of the article's subject unless otherwise stated. That's an easy fix, so changed to support above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:56, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This nom is proving to be all kinds of educational as no one's ever pointed that out to me. But since the captions here are more a bit more descriptive than just the ship's name, I don't think that that's relevant here. Thanks for reviewing the articles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the captions are a conscious decision, I'm fine with that Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support but I would love to see a GT on 1st Cruiser Squadron. Nergaal (talk) 01:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd like to be able to do one, but I'd need much better information on the squadron's actual history. All I could do now would be lists of ships that fell under it at various times.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:35, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support - looks to be up to your usual standard, Sturm. Keep up the great work. Parsecboy (talk) 18:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Circus (Britney Spears album)

Circus

11 articles

"Womanizer"

"Circus"

"Unusual You"

"Mmm Papi"

"Radar"

The Circus Starring Britney Spears

I am nominating the group of articles related to Britney Spears's Circus for a Good Topic. With the recent promotion of the main article to GA status, all pages are now at the same quality level. WikiRedactor (talk) 15:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The articles look OK, but I'd like you to standardise section headings/subheadings more across the GT. As one example, sometimes we have "Reception", sometimes "Critical reception", but there others (I appreciate that not all headings may be needed in every article, but those that are used need to be consistent) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've made some adjustments to the headings, please let me know what you think. Thanks, WikiRedactor (talk) 14:35, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support I had a look at the headings, and took a second look at the articles while I was doing so. Nothing obvious, so supporting Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:27, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question. What's the criteria for all of these songs getting articles? It appears to be the singles plus other songs. Will any of the other songs be getting articles at any point? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:17, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I personally focused on promoting the main album article. Former members of WP:Britney are responsible for bringing the songs' and tour's articles to their current form, and seeing as though they've all been inactive in the project for a long while, I don't imagine that any other articles for this four-year-old album will be created. WikiRedactor (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

K, in that case, I'll support. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - there seems to be some dead links in the If U Seek Amy and The Circus Starring Britney Spears articles. GamerPro64 14:51, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both have been corrected, thank you for pointing those out. WikiRedactor (talk) 20:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. There's still dead links in them. Circus, If U Seek Amy. GamerPro64 14:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My fault for forgetting to check Toolserver. However, there is one link that says it dead but I've checked it and it works. I'd appreciate if if you took a look and see if I missed something. WikiRedactor (talk) 21:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at If U Seek Amy and its links are good. For The Circus, reference 42 seems to be dead amnd I just can't get onto reference 63 at all. GamerPro64 12:16, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I (finally) corrected all of the dead links for the tour. Sorry that took so long. WikiRedactor (talk) 15:19, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
