Ana Ivanović (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

I've pretty much worked this one out single-handedly. It's comprehensively referenced, illustrated and provides thorough coverage of the aspects of her career so far. She's a notable subject since she is now the best female tennis player in the world, and won the last major tournament, the French Open. I'm sure that it pretty much meets all the criteria set out in the requirements for VGA. I'm happy to take any suggestions on what would ensure this is one of Simple English Wikipedia's best articles. The Rambling Man (talk) 13:44, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Spurgeon change

Charles Spurgeon (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

This has been a on-going project for me. I have made 100+ edits to it (as well as other editors who did work hard on it too). With that, came much work. The whole article is referenced (and none of them were copied from en:WP). It contains none of these tricky words. I have used Microsoft Word, as well as several other places to copyedit and check grammar, spell-check, etc. The article is long enough, has several interwiki links, a very good "Other websites" section, has categories, images, important terms are linked and there is no red links left, these are all requirements for VGA. The only other is the requirement is 2. comprehensiveness. As far as that goes, it is very simple. It may still have some complex words or long sentences, but few. It may (or may not) be fully ready, but I have decided to throw it out there and see what you all think about. Is it ready, or what needs to be done. Thanks -- ApEtSIG 06:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have been working hard on this article to make sure that it meets the criteria for a VGA, and I definately think that it does now : - ) IuseRosary (talk) 11:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe organ change

Pipe organ (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

I would like to propose that this article be put up for VGA status because of the fact that it has no red links, has good references (although could use a little more), has a good Other websites section, has great pictures, and based on the number of votes it has received for its request to become a GA, that it will be a GA. I would therefore like to propose that Pipe organ become a VGA. Razorflame 21:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it is quite ready yet. Although it meets the reference requirements, for that long of an article, I would expect at least ten references. --Thamusemeantfan (talk) 22:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I second that. It is not appropriate for an article with such a long section dedicated to history of the subject, to only have three references. - Huji reply 20:39, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The unnecessarily capitalized words throughout the article need to be fixed to make it very good. · Tygrrr... 20:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have decided that this article is not yet ready for VGA status, so therefore, I am withdrawing this request. Razorflame 16:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article meets all ten of the criteria for a VGA (excluding #10 because it hasn't been voted on yet). Thamusemeantfan 15:15, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But there is a red link left (#6). --Cethegus 23:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Goat Rock Beach change

Goat Rock Beach (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

When I originally nominated this article, there were two issues: 1. Too many red-links, and 2. Not long enough. Since the article was failed, I fixed both errors by adding more links and beefing up the article by adding a new section. Feel free to comment the improvements. -- Thamusemeantfan 01:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks better in my opinion. But we should have other editors decide too. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 02:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lisa Simpson change

Lisa Simpson (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

I think this article may be even better than Homer Simpson, a VGA. Thamusemeantfan 03:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating my work for VGA, but the article is only halfway done to worth the VGA tag. I just left it suddenly to promote this article to VGA status instead. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 05:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article looks like a good start, but for my (personal) liking, the sentences are a litle long. If we made more sentences, each sentence would be shorter (and therfore easier to understand). --Eptalon 22:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention that there are too many redlinks. Also I think that we should break down the section Personality and Role in the Simpsons into shorter sections and subsections. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 03:00, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to all who commented. Critique is good for an article. Since all are opposed, I will archive this one now. Thamusemeantfan 02:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am now almost done with the article, just finishing up the last touches with it. So far, it has rich information, a lot of references, several images, and follows like 7 or 8 out of the criteria for VGA articles. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice article. Great images and references in particular. However, I must say that it may need to be simplified and change some complicated words. Otherwise, very nice. Thamusemeantfan 01:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. You are also welcomed to help and simplify the article if you feel it is needed:) --§ Snake311 (T + C) 05:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lake Urmia change

Lake Urmia (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

The article was started by User:Yegoyan and I completed the article. I believe, after adding the redlinks, it is a good candidate for VGA status. Nevertheless, I'd like to have your comments about it. - Huji reply 21:22, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be a good article. But maybe some expansion on the history section? will do it. --Yegoyan 21:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, the information on the History section of English Wikipedia are not well sources. I'll be looking for better sources, and try to add relevant information to the article. Thanks for your assistance. :) - Huji reply 21:27, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... the sections are kinda short and several sentences are choppy. Needs more information to warrant the VGA tag. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have given some thought to this article and decided that if no consesus is reached within December 8 to improve the article or make it fit the VGA criteria, I will remove the {{pvgood}} template and will end its VGA procedure. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 00:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose-I oppose this from gaining VGA status because the sections are too short. Please expand the sections; maybe rerun this in a while. -Razorflame 01:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I also oppose. The three sections are all very short, and the third section is just a list. I think that it doesn't even compare to articles such as Evolution and Geisha. -- Thamusemeantfan 03:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments. I agree with them generally. Such comments give us a way to know what to add to an article to make it a future VGA. I'll try to have a look at it and make some additions when I get some time. - Huji reply 17:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this article, so my opinion is biased, but I think it is well written, no red links, good references, and good images. The length is a little short, but nothing too bad. Thamusemeantfan 04:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minor points: don't think the astronomy category is necessary, and why is there a link to en-wiki? ...Aurora... 04:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The astronomy caetgory covers all topics and articles that is based from or comes from astronomy, from the article astronomy itself to the lowest-level topic articles that branch from the main topic astronomy. Also if you are talking about the link to en wiki, it is an interwiki. Other than that, I don't see any other en wiki link elsewhere. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 05:08, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its a very decent article. Haven't seen such a great article compared to most of our current VGAs:) --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very good written article. It is a bit too long, in some view, and as you know, a long article is harder to read and navigate, so maybe we can shorten some parts. - Huji reply 21:25, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Putting the table to a side, the rest of the article is not enough detailed I think. Maybe no more detail is needed on a "list" article, but then maybe lists are not good candidates for VGA.
I will add some redlinks, and perform some copyediting. - Huji reply 21:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you take a look at the en wiki's version of the article, they don't really have much information either. But I might add in a little bit of more info if I can. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 04:48, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have also filled in the redlinks you've created except for gust which I removed because on the en wiki, gust refers to the Japanese game software developer. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 04:54, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, I suggest you create the "gust" article (with the meaning used on our article) to both our wiki and En WP, and of course add the required disambiguation pages on En WP. - Huji reply 11:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Huji has asked me to review the article to see if it could be proposed as a VGA article. I found the article nicely-written and felt that it had a potential to become a VGA. Also the article has been written by Huji, which seemed to have beaten most of my VGA articles in quality (which i am impressed with). --§ Snake311 (T + C) 23:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the complements! As we have in our criteria, no one writes the best article, so changes made by other editors are welcome to Endorphin article. Best, - Huji reply 18:28, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its a nicely written article, but its references sure could contain several different links rather than using the same one link. Also having external links would also help. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 04:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose change

  •   Weak oppose I see nothing wrong with this article, however, even though it meets the size requirement, I would like to see a longer article for this page. I have changed this to weak oppose because of reasons given by Tygrrr. Cheers, Razorflame 14:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose - Just passed a RfGA and failed an RfVGA a week ago. I don't see that enough has changed since then to make it ready for VGA status. I don't think it's comprehensive just yet (criteria 2). I pointed out a few specific sections I would like to see expanded in my last vote that would give it better comprehensiveness that have not yet been touched. Also, doesn't pass criteria 7 (no redlinks). Seeing as how it doesn't meet all of the criteria, I don't see how I could support at this time. · Tygrrr... 15:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment: - I'll work on the comprehensiveness part, but I don't see a redlink? Can you give me the specific links, please? Maxim(talk) 18:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment: - Can you give me some pointers on the comprehensiveness part? What do you wish to be fattened up in the article? More sections? Some sections lacking? Thanks, Maxim(talk) 18:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment: - You're right, the redlinks have since been created but there are links to 3 pages on SE WKT that have yet to be created: wikt:territory, wikt:defend, wikt:mate. As far as comprehensiveness, I pointed out 3 things I would like to see fleshed out in my previous vote. Rather than re-type that for you, perhaps you could just check it out at the link I've posted above. Thanks. · Tygrrr... 19:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment: - OK, I didn't see it. :-) For the Spectacled Bear part, I don't see what else can be added; there's nothing elaborated on en.wiki, and I don't find anything useful in the sources. For the other two points, I've expanded on them. For the Cr.7 stuff, I'm going to try to add entries in wiktionary, although I've never edited any version... :-) Maxim(talk) 23:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment: - I haven't been able to find anything else to add to this article. Myabe it meets the comprehensiveness requirement now? I won't change my vote yet, though, until after I get a second opinion from Tygrrr or another other editor about this. Cheers, Razorflame 01:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment: - It's essentially based on the en.wiki article, but it doesn't go in so much detail as the other one does because of the target audience. Maxim(talk) 01:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Giant Panda (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

It's more time-efficient for users to add comments for improvement in one section rather than drag it out. So I've listed the article here. This my first nom; article seems to meet all criteria. Maxim(talk) 00:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a few changes to it; added two sections. Once it gets a separate Other websites section (Should not be too hard, copy a few of the better references from EnWP: External links) I think we are well on track. The most dangerous of the criteria now are #2 (Comprehensive), and #9 (no improvement templates) and #10 (Proper attribution - citations); I have added the claim that the closest relative is the Andean Bear, based on the EnWP article. I would prefer a citation there though. I have also left some comments on the talk page of the article, which is the proper forum for it.--Eptalon (talk) 08:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article provides a simple yet comprehensive introduction to the topic of Giant Panda, so #2 would be satisfied. #9 seems to be satisfied already, and as for #10, I've added plenty citations and checked facts throughly, so if there's some specific stuff an editor would wish to be cited, that's possible, too. Maxim(talk) 12:55, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To Maxim: there are 2 sections for a specific reason. The voting section should not be used to make comments/suggestions for improvement. That is specifically what the discussion section is for. Also, articles can only be placed in the voting section once they meet all of the criteria. If not all the criteria are met, the article should be removed from the voting section and placed in the discussion section. While it is certainly valid to place an article immediately into the voting section as you have done, the discussion section serves an important prupose. If you would like comments and feedback, please place it there first. If not all the criteria are met, please place it there first. If you want no comments and a straight-up vote, which I don't really recommend, then you may place it here first. Bear in mind, however, that if an article is placed in the voting section prematurely (i.e. before all criteria are met), any votes made prematurely will not be counted. I hope this explanation helps you understand this process better. · Tygrrr... 14:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support The article is well written (meaning it is comprehensive enough), there are no red links (minus that one in the infobox), it is 5,563 bytes body text (without pictures, infoboxes, interwikis, references, etc), it is extremely well referenced and it has no improvement templates on it. It also has more than 1 interwiki link and it has an other websites section. Apart from a few minor copyedits that I had to do, I see no reason why this should be denied VGA status. Razorflame 17:11, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Maybe a good article but not yet very good. There are a number of errors with continuity. Sometimes "Panda Bear" is used and sometimes "panda bear" is used. It is the same way at en:wiki and there has been a dicsussion about this issue over there but consensus has not been reached. However, I think one needs to be chosen and used throughout. Another continuity error is that sometimes kilograms and meters are used and sometimes pounds. I think they should be consistently listed using one system, with the conversion listed in parentheses. Another concern I have is regarding the maximum weight of giant pandas. We have listed here a max of 160 kg, yet en:wiki has a max of 115 kg. This is a large discrepancy so I would like to make sure that we are accurate. There are also some statements in the article that I would like to see expanded some, such as "The giant panda's closest ursine relative is the Spectacled Bear of South America", "Some people have called the Giant Panda a living fossil" and "Pandas sometimes run out of food, as a type of bamboo flowers, die, and regrow again at the same time". I feel that expansion of topics like these would lead to better comprehensiveness. I've also done some linking that leaves a few redlinks. You may also want to check that the links to Wiktionary have entries. I did not check before linking them. · Tygrrr... 15:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tygrrr, because you have little knowledge about a subject dosen't necessarily mean you can oppose the article. We follow a certain criteria for VGAs here. Also, if you seem to find a mistake, its always right to fix it instead. For me, I have also studied Islam for a long time (including about Muhammad), and most of the information are accurate enough. Not to offend you or anything but just to let you know. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 00:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What? I think you're mistaken. I didn't oppose the article because I don't know anything about the topic. I also never said the information wasn't accurate. I said that it was difficult to follow. More specifically, the way it was written is kind of confusing. An article can have plenty of good information but not be well-written. I think this is a good article. Just not very good yet. P.S. I was active in deciding on the criteria, so I think I know that they exist and what they are. Thanks. · Tygrrr·talk· 01:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment change

Sorry. I reverted the VGOOD status for this one, because I don't think there is consensus about it (3 supporters, 1 weak supporter, 2 opposers, does it mean consensus?) Others' comments are appreciated. - Huji reply 10:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it's a VGOOD because weak support, however weak it is, is still support. Three people agree, and including the weak support 66% agree: the minimum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thamusemeantfan (talk • contribs)
I think a third person should also comment here. - Huji reply 11:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Currently, the minimum number to pass is a 66% (excluding neutral votes). Since it has 4 supports and 2 opposes, it barely passess the criteria. In my opnion, I'd say that the article passess since it got a 66% support before November 30. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 00:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article which was written by Huji, seemed to fit most of the criteria, so I moved it to the voting section with all the other nominees. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That problem arises from the fact that --unlike what is expected from a VGA-- this article is mainly written by one editor (me). Contributions made by you (and others) can lead to a more detailed article about the topic. You can also check the English Wikipedia counterart, and propose sections to be imported from there. - Huji reply 13:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article fairly looked finished from a quick scan, also that it fitted nearly all of the VGA criteria. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, --§ Snake311 (T + C) 01:56, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - I'm also looking for an approrpriate image to be added to the article (and be later used for the VGA abstract on the home page). - Huji reply 13:19, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I didn't even look at the page long and I found it to be very unsimple. "Marge and Homer say goodnight to their kids but all doesn't go to plan. Bart philosophically contemplates (first time and last) the wonders of the mind, Lisa hears Marge say "don't let the bed bugs bite" and fears that her bed bugs will eat her, and Maggie is traumatized by the lyrics of 'rock-a-bye-baby'"? The summaries need major simplification. This article is not ready to be shown off yet. · Tygrrr·talk· 13:22, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Looks great, and tons of references. My only very small critique is that the "Ending" section uses complicated English at times. However, since this is easily fixable, and by no means a reason to oppose such a good article, I support. Cheers, ( arky ) 00:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very weak support. While it does seems to be a waste not to support an article that has been tirelessly worked on, the article would seem really shaky to warrant the VGA tag per WP:VGOOD. While I find it tough to support this article, at the same time, I can't find any reason to oppose it. --§ Snake311 (T + C) 03:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
