[edit] Solar System (supplementary nomination)

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Solar System for the archived discussion of the topic's successful nomination. The additional items are:

  1. Formation and evolution of the Solar System
Main page Articles
Solar System Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Moon, Mars, Ceres, Asteroid belt, Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Saturn, Titan, Uranus, Neptune, Triton, Pluto, Kuiper belt, Eris, Scattered disc, Oort cloud, Formation and evolution of the Solar System

This article is as vital to the Solar System topic as Solar System itself. It is, if you like, the 4D image of the Solar System with the main article as the 3D image. I have wanted to get this article included in the Solar System FT since I first got involved, and now that it is FA class, I think it is ready. Serendipodous 07:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Support No problem with me. Zginder 2008-05-19T14:02Z (UTC)
Depends what happens to Mercury. :-) Serendipodous 05:57, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dream Days at the Hotel Existence (supplementary nomination)

Main page Articles
Featured articleDream Days at the Hotel Existence Good article Lost and Running - Featured article I Don't Remember - Good article Nobody Sees - Good article Black Tears - Good article Who Really Cares (Featuring the Sound of Insanity)

This supplementary nomination should be a very straightforward one. The album got an extra single, and the article on that single is now a GA. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:48, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

These six featured articles represent a large segment of the Solar System's geography. The "big seven" moons, as astronomers call them, fill a "mass gap" in the Solar System between the planets and the dwarf planets. The smallest big moon, Triton, is larger than all the smaller moons put together. These moons are also highly evolved worlds in their own right, with weather, complex geology, and the possibility of life. This nomination also gives a reason for the Moon to be included that is more than historical. Serendipodous 09:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Support - and great work on these highly important articles. dihydrogen monoxide (H20) 09:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support—All featured articles and works in the topic. Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 13:41, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Logical conclusion to the Solar System featured articles. Note the term "big seven" has been used in sources.[1][2]. (Dropping my vote, as I'm a participant in the project.) Marskell (talk) 14:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - I see no reason not to add them. Nergaal (talk) 16:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. Great work, and a quite sensible addition. I guess now would be the time to consider altering the box by indenting the moons under their respective planets, and the dwarf planets under their respective "belts" (this has been suggested in the past).--Pharos (talk) 18:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
A topic can not be subdivided only split into different topics. Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 18:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
I mean the display of items in Wikipedia:Featured topics/Solar System, in a way so that it is clear which moons belong to which planets, etc. This would not be dividing the topic, but merely making the topic box easier to read.--Pharos (talk) 18:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Like this. Serendipodous 18:36, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Question — I'm a bit weary about whether these really are special enough that they can be added while the rest of the moons aren't. Does the "Big Seven" classification have any official recognition the way that the "Dwarf Planet" classification does? --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 20:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
It isn't official, but these seven moons are all larger than all the smaller moons in the Solar System combined, which is not true of any of the smaller moons. Serendipodous 20:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Considering that there are 166 moons orbiting the eight planets, and most written treatments concentrate only on the major ones, I think this is a reasonable cut-off, as it is one that has been used by several astronomers.--Pharos (talk) 20:56, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Definitely, this is a reasonable cut-off. Anyone familiar with the list of Solar System bodies would recognize a dividing line between Triton (seventh of seven) and the smaller moons. It would be sort of nuts to expect that all of the moons in the Solar System (an ever growing group) should be FA before we add them to this featured topic. These seven are a logical dividing line, buttressed by sources. Marskell (talk) 21:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
We could eventually get every moon in the solar system in the article by getting pages like Moons of Saturn up to FL status. It would be a lot esier than featuring each individual moon. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 17:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong support, oui, très bien :-) MOJSKA 666 (msg) 17:07, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - Terrific work and addition to this featured topic. Hello32020 (talk) 20:00, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Rename? - While this nomination is up, it might be a good idea to propose a rename to something like "Solar System bodies" or "Solar System, major features of" so that it is clear why we do not include articles like Formation and evolution of the Solar System. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 22:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I've been trying to get Formation and evolution of the Solar System up to FT inclusion standard for over a year, so I think the topic name is fine. Serendipodous 09:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2003 Atlantic hurricane season (supplementary nomination)

  1. List of storms in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season
Main page Articles
2003 Atlantic hurricane season List of storms in the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season - Tropical Storm Ana (2003) - Tropical Storm Bill (2003) - Hurricane Claudette (2003) - Hurricane Danny (2003) - Hurricane Erika (2003) - Tropical Depression Nine (2003) - Hurricane Fabian - Tropical Storm Grace (2003) - Tropical Storm Henri (2003) - Hurricane Isabel - Hurricane Juan - Hurricane Kate (2003) - Tropical Storm Larry (2003) - Tropical Storm Mindy (2003) - Tropical Storm Nicholas (2003) - Tropical Storm Odette (2003) - Tropical Storm Peter (2003)

The new article is clearly part of the topic, and given its a featured list, I suppose it would be a fine addition ;) --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Support- no comment really needed. --PresN (talk) 17:22, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Support - Righto. David Fuchs (talk) 03:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Support - The Mary Wollstonecraft topic has shown that a list can be included in a topic of articles, so there is no problem here. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:52, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Support Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 22:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Support; no issues here. Dihydrogen Monoxide (party) 06:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Closing nomination as promote --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 03:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy titles (supplementary nomination)

This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Final Fantasy titles for the archived discussion of the topic's successful nomination. The additional items are:

  1. Featured article Final Fantasy
Main page Articles
Final Fantasy Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Since "topics with gaps" are already moving to the FTR, looks like it's a good idea to replace the main article from "former featured list" to "featured article". We can re-add it as soon as it improves. (we could put other FF Good/featured articlesin the nom, but depends on how the discussion here goes - the FTC usually complains when cherry-picking articles) igordebraga ≠ 18:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Question - What will happen to the series article once the list is brought back up to FL? Will it remain the main article, be moved to a regular article of the topic, or removed? (Guyinblack25 talk 18:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC))
    • Sorry, I put the proposition instead of the current topic. The current main article is List of Final Fantasy titles, which was demoted of FL status. I'm nominating to replace it with the series article. igordebraga ≠ 19:46, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Yes, I was asking what will happen to the series article once "List of Final Fantasy titles" is brought back up to FL? Will the Final Fantasy series article remain the main article for the topic after "List of Final Fantasy titles" is brought back up to FL? (Guyinblack25 talk 21:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC))
        • The topic can go like the Kingdom Hearts one, in which the series is the main and the list of media is one of the articles. igordebraga ≠ 15:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
          • Cool, sounds very reasonable. One more question; would the name also change from "Final Fantasy titles" to simply "Final Fantasy"? (Guyinblack25 talk 16:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC))
            • Since the topic features only game titles (and FF has a lot to offer: music, movies, TV series and gameplay-related articles), I think we don't need to change the name. igordebraga ≠ 17:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support change to main article- Final Fantasy is an excellent main article, and meets the requirements. --PresN (talk) 20:47, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - One the media article gets its featured list status back though, we should add it to this topic. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose - I see why you are doing this, but I think it would be better to just get the existing main article back up to Fl status. It seems to me that a topic with Final Fantasy as the main article should include (for example) an article on the history of the series and an article on its cultural impact. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 18:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
    • If I may ask, why would separate articles on the history and cultural impact be required? I know those may have been arbitrary examples, but other video game topics don't have similar articles and such information is already covered in the main series article. (Guyinblack25 talk 19:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC))
      • Looking back, I guess precident has been set to allow a topic organized like this. In fact, once the list is brought back up to FL status, you could include it as a member of the topic, since the Mary Wollstonecraft topic has a timeline in it. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:38, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak Support Although I think it is Gerrymandering, I will allow it. Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 01:30, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Close debate as pass --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 04:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
