Nominator(s): Daysleeper47 (talk)

I'm nominating this article for featured article because I believe that it represents the best of Wikipedia. I am not involved at all with this article, however I have worked closely with the primary editor, Twelsht, on several FACs. As is the case with all of the Twelsht products I have seen, this article is well-written, very detailed, and well cited. Additionally, it has proven stable, is of sufficient length for someone of this notoriety, and includes graphics. I highly recommend that this article be promoted to FA-class.

I also want to note that Twelsht is not active on the project anymore (unless working anonymously, which he has done in the past). I will be happy to make minor corrections to the article as necessary, but don't have the time for wholesale changes. I nominated the article on its current merits. --Daysleeper47 (talk) 19:30, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Daysleeper, it is the custom of those patrolling FACs to remove nominations where the nominator is not a major contributor, per the FAC instructions at the top of the page. If you do not have the time or resources to make extensive changes to the article, I recommend that you nominate the article when you have the time and sources used in the article. It is virtually impossible to have an FAC promoted without these. --Moni3 (talk) 22:44, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Strong Oppose - I count seven cite tags in the article. There's no way the article can pass FAC unless they are resolved. Giants2008 (17-14) 23:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Switching to strong oppose because tags haven't been fixed in six days, and I recommend that it be withdrawn. Giants2008 (17-14) 01:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
