  • I don't think it is currently possible to get mine to GA due to the fact it has to do with a one month old country.   jj137 (talk) 19:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
    • By the time this contest is over, I will be an admin, and Billy Graham will be dead. You should be able to get it to GA... someday. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 19:42, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Every article has the potential to be GA. Some may take more research than others and it may seem impossible at times, but we can still try. In the long run we will improve the encyclopedia.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 20:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Good point. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 20:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
      • I'm already screwed. I know nothing about the Oilers -.- Milk's Favorite Cookie 22:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Are you kidding me? I didn't even know how Alexander Grant was! I'm sure you heard of the Oilers, right? Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 22:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Yeah, I'm sure my neighbor could help - he's from Canada :) I'm not cheating... And, also, it's impossible to get the article to FA, would FL work? - Milk's Favorite Cookie 23:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
          • I don't see why not. I also don't see how I am going to get mine to GA. Can someone point me to a snake or any genus article that is a GA? Maximillion Pegasus (talk) 23:11, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Maybe yours could be the first.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 23:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • The seemingly impossible task just got a lot easier thanks to an "Infobox Person" template. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 03:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
    • OK, I'm going to move this to my userspace, per today's discussion with Basketball110, so that Nerd Cabal members can also participate. - DiligentTerrier and friends 16:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
      • I say we duplicate this page, one for me and one for Diligent, and temporarily merge the cabals... we have most of the same members anyway. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 17:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
        • How about we create a template (which would be the content above) and include it in both cabal's pages? - DiligentTerrier and friends 17:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
          • Yes, but on a sub page... wouldn't it be easier if you created a Nerd Cabal page with {{User:Basketball110/Mr. Potato Head Cabal/random article contest}}? Then, all the discussion goes here, but can be viewed there. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 17:10, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
          • See User:Basketball110/Sandbox#11. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 17:12, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
            • The best option would be moving this to a page like User:Basketball110/random article contest or User:Diligent Terrier/random article contest, and including it at both cabals. Then when you click on the edit section link at any place, it would skip right to the main page, where all the discussion is in sync. - DiligentTerrier and friends 17:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
              • If you know how to do that, go ahead. The link on the Mr. Potato Head Cabal page will have to be changed though. Another option could just be inviting all the members you have that we don't and automatically accept them. Basketball110 Go Longhorns! 17:21, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
