This page lists nominations for the UK CotW which failed to receive enough support.

Independent Monitoring Commission edit

Important organisation, influencing peace and democracy in Northern Ireland. It's a new organisation, but has been responsible for much already - more can be said about this. Talrias (t | e | c) 22:21, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

List of parties contesting the United Kingdom general election, 2005 edit

Hopefuly soon Tony will announce the election, and the plethora of nth parties which abound nowadays requires a list of this sort. --Neo 17:56, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Just to note - there is no reason for this now as a full list has been published, and entered in the article. --Neo 16:44, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Vimto edit

It's an anagram of vomit.... is that the best we can come up with for this fantastic fizzy drink, still drink, iced lolly, boiled sweet lolly, hot drink.....? :D --PopUpPirate 22:07, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

The Farm (band) edit

Not a particularly important band, but I like them. A.K.A.47 20:44, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

English drama edit

Originally nominated for AID, but it's better focused here. Humanities topics like this are what we need to improve. A quick random glance at this article makes it look all right - relatively long, nice images, and so on. But a closer look shows that it's a jumble of unorganized information, mostly name-dropping/"play-dropping", and by and large very poorly written. zafiroblue05 | Talk 23:30, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page is presently more about English theatre than drama, with its mentions of burlesque and music hall. The page ought perhaps to be broken down into History, Genres with datelines for easily-defined English styles such as Restoration comedy, Kitchen sink drama (missing at present and very significant!) and In-yer-face theatre, with a further section which differentiates between the attitudes of West End and regional theatre to English drama. Could do better. - Stevecov 17:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, and I meant to say that Andrew Lloyd Webber has absolutely nothing to do with English drama, but I forgot first time out! - Stevecov 17:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

British and Irish current events edit

After over a month of inactivity, it recently survived an AfD. As it's considered important enough to Wikipedia to stay, we ought to make sure it stays in date. As the next collaboration it would receive the necessary regeneration to be a good article. BigBlueFish 16:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terrorism Bill 2005 edit

Was a redlink the evening after it led to Blair's first parliamentary defeat. Can't help but feel this is a after the horse has bolted move, but we may get a lot of people looking for something on this.

Robson Green edit

Maybe the most important British TV actor of the last 15 years, who has starred in tonnes of TV series. My mum fancies him too!
