Wikipedia:Featured article review/Prince (musician)

Prince (musician) edit

This article has some excellent content. However, it has two sections ("Protégés and associates" and "Monikers") which have been tagged for expansion for quite a long time without such requests being reponded to. I thought about just moving these to daughter articles, but I don't think that's really an appropriate solution, given that it begs the question of completeness (how can we have a featured-article quality summary without a complete list in the first place to choose from). There are also two {{fact}} flags which have not been addressed either. The Jackson's thing and the Jehovah's Witnesses thing are both important enough that they should be followed up on for citations rather than removed. I fixed a few instances of minor POV language like "unfortunately" and "strangely", but this does not seem to be a widespread problem. I hope that these sections can be certified as complete and that the two citation checks can be filled. It would be a shame to have to initiate a FARC for such a good article. savidan(talk) (e@) 19:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried to locate the author who originally brought it to FA? You can probably find that in the edit history, relative to the FA date. Have you notified any relevant WikiProjects, asking for help? You can find WikiProjects that may have an interest in the project by checking "What links here". Sandy 22:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just left a note at the WikiProject, but I was unable to find the featured article nom using the history or the "What links here" feature. This begs the question of whether the article was ever even nominated or if someone just added the featured star randomly. To be honest, I don't know much about the early history of the featured article process. Is it possible that the nomination page didn't link to the article, or, alternatively, that the article was at a different name when featured? savidan(talk) (e@) 23:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not listed at Wikipedia: Featured articles...I'm going to go through the history and figure out who added the star. savidan(talk) (e@) 23:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
hmmmm ... need some help here. I can't find indication it was ever featured, but I've had that problem before. Sandy 23:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't: see here. Doesn't look malicious: probably just a new user who didn't understand the Featured article process. I left a note on his talk page. savidan(talk) (e@) 23:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
