International Talk Like a Pirate Day edit

Just thought it might be appropriate to consider this as the Featured Article next Sep 19. If there's anything holding it back from becoming a FA, let's hear about it. ^Thanks, _{Luc "Somethingorother" French} 21:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Nice idea, but it needs more citations, ~~especially the leading paragraph~~. The intro's picture needs better fair use rationale, too. Needs some work, but if you try hard, you can probably get it by next september 19. Sonic3KMaster ^(talk) 21:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose; needs more information to be comprehensive. I agree with Sonic3KMaster about better sourcing, but disagree about the lead part (per WP:LEAD, the lead should give no information that is not in the body of the article; this should eliminate any need to add footnotes to the lead). Consider converting the listy sections into flowing prose and eliminating the "in popular culture" section (the whole concept of Talk Like a Pirate Day is popular culture). — BrianSmithson 07:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Brian and not comprehensive enough. Rlevse 10:00, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support, and a belated YAHARR to ye. Now get me some two-days-out-of-date rum! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 09:32, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Just not comprehensive or referenced enough. Being timely isn't all an FA is about. Staxringold _talk^contribs 15:55, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
