Beast (Trojan horse)

Beast (Trojan horse) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history)

  1. Oppose - this is an old type of Trojan horse that does not affect today's society. It did prior to 2005 or so, as it had affected XP's. The virus was discontinued on late 2004 and would have its viral issues solved by most antiviruses. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:42, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
  2. Oppose As above, it's not relevant nowadays, and therefore its improvement is less important than other articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
  3. Support Definitely can be improved, and has reasonable high page view stats, 1300 in 30 days. In reply to concerns mentioned above, no it is not relevant today, but neither are the historical articles we improve. --CSJJ104 (talk) 19:54, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
  4. Oppose No longer seems sufficiently important due to its irrelevance. Rubbish computer 11:31, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

(removed unapproved template previously in place here) North America1000 00:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000: Why has this been marked as unapproved? It seems to meet neither the criteria of 21 days with no discussion, last comment was 7 June, and does not have three net opposed votes, as indicated at the top of this page is necessary. --CSJJ104 (talk) 10:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
@CSJJ104: The way things have been done here in the past, unless I'm missing something, is that after three opposes, unless there are also three supports, entries are not approved. At the top of the page, it states, "Unsuccessful nominations can be archived after 21 days of no discussion or after 3 net opposing votes." North America1000 16:47, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Corazon Aquino – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 444 daily hits

  • A Level 4 vital article in People, an article on a President of the Philippines from 1986 to 1992, appears to be seriously lacking references in places, should be easy to improve. Emphasising the article's importance, a Did You Know...? fact from it has been featured on the main page 6 years in a row and a news item related to the article was on the main page in 2009 verify.Rubbish computer 12:58, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
  1. Support It hasn't had a DYK every year, it's had an "On this day" which is for selected anniversaries. Definitely still shows its importance though, and article needs some improving. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:48, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Neutrality problems since May 2014, viewed often, poor referencing.

Goat meat

Goat meat – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 200+ daily hits

  • Goat meat is claimed to be far better in taste than pork, beef, lamb(sheep), chicken, fish or any other eatable living creature. Many people say that "I don't like goat meat" just because they can't afford goat meat as price of goat meat is far higher than other meats. Read this complete Washington post article Goat Meat- The Final Frontier -Washington Post, even they claim that nutritionwise and tastewise "Goat meat" is best among all. They described Goat meat as "Higher Price, Superior Product", so article of this superior product should be superior, we should spread awareness among all carnivorous people.

  • Article with more than 10.000 hits each month, but that needs expansion (which is possible), it needs c/e and better sourcing. Could need help to be improved per the high number of hits.--BabbaQ (talk) 20:32, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
  1. Support per nom [although I have copyedited it.] Rubbish computer 21:24, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
  2. Support per nom. There are several pictures of her on Flickr - if someone would inquire to some of these if they would lower their copyright license from "All Rights Reserved" to "Attribution" odds are one will.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 17:02, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

  1. Oppose as this appears to be a decent enough article already. Rubbish computer 08:20, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
  2. support - some things could be done, that justifies it being part of TAFI.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:10, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
  3. Oppose - there are worse articles to improve. sovereign°sentinel (contribs) 14:29, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
  4. Oppose - seems good already. Also, it appears to be full of botany jargon. The original Berry article is more general and suitable for general editors like us. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 05:55, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
