World Series of Poker Europe

[edit]

I am nominating the WSOPE for featured topic. This topic includes two lists which are both featured list and an article that is GA.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 15:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - this looks good, though I do have a few questions/comments before I support. Firstly, you need a free image for the topic. I would recommend an image of one of the players. Secondly, I imagine some list of players might be merited after this tournament has run for a few more years. Not at this stage but just putting that out there. Thirdly this is somewhat tangental but I am a bit confused as to why the word "results" is included in the two article names. I would think the more general name without "results" would be better, and if the reason the word is included is because the individual tournament articles are lacking in descriptive text then it might be worth beefing the descriptive text up a bit - rst20xx (talk) 21:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent question about the results... it's there because that is the standard for the WSOP articles where we have an article on the 2009 World Series of Poker AND the 2009 World Series of Poker results... originally, the WSOPE articles just started out as lists without the elaborate lead and no corresponding annual tournament. But I do think you are right that the name should be changed. Let me check with the people at the FL group, I know that sometimes changing names of feature content can cause problems, so I want to let them know that it doesn't screw things up! After the tournament has run for a few more years, we probably would create some lists. Right now, we've included the WSOPE main event champions on the WSOP Main Event Champions article (Which is also FL) but as of yet, there haven't been enough events to have lists of players/winners. Added image of Annette Obrestad, the first WSOPE Main Event Champion---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 21:49, 11 June 2009 (UTC) EDIT: Names changed[reply]
Annette was too dark (and unknown) decided a poker hand would be better.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 17:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
