Featured lists in Wikipedia Here we determine which lists are to be featured lists (FLs). Featured lists exemplify Wikipedia's very best work and satisfy the FL criteria. Before nominating a list, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Peer review. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FLC process. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the list should consult regular editors of the list prior to nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly. A list should not be on Featured list candidates and Peer review at the same time. Please do not split FL candidate pages into subsections using header code (if necessary, use bolded headings). One of the FL directors, either Scorpion0422 or Matthewedwards, determines the timing of the process for each nomination, but each nomination will last at least 10 days—longer where changes are ongoing and it seems useful to continue the process. For a nomination to be promoted to FL status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria. Consensus is built among reviewers and nominators; the directors determine whether there is consensus. A nomination will be removed from the list and archived if, in the judgment of the director who considers a nomination and its reviews: actionable objections have not been resolved; or consensus for promotion has not been reached; or insufficient information has been provided by reviewers to judge whether the criteria have been met. It is assumed that all nominations have good qualities; this is why the main thrust of the process is to generate and resolve critical comments in relation to the criteria, and why such resolution is given considerably more weight than declarations of support. Gimmebot will update the list talk page after the list is promoted or the nomination archived; the delay in bot processing can range from minutes to several days, and the {{FLC}} template should remain on the talk page until the bot updates {{ArticleHistory}}. If a nomination is archived, the nominator should take adequate time to work on resolving issues before re-nominating. Nominations will be removed on Tuesdays and Saturdays, just prior to User:Gimmebot's scheduled run at 00:00 UTC Wednesday and Sunday mornings.

Nomination procedure Before nominating a list, ensure that it meets all of the FL criteria and that Peer reviews are closed and archived. Place {{FLC}} on the talk page of the nominated list. If resubmitting a list, do not delete the old {{FLCfailed}} template. From there, click on the "leave comments" link to create a new sub-page for the nomination. If you are resubmitting a list, use the Move button to rename the previous nomination sub-page to an archive. For example, Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of television stations → Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of television stations/archive1. Find where the previous discussion is listed in the featured log and update the link there, as well as on the {{FLCfailed}} template of the list's talk page. Place ===[[name of nominated list]]=== at the top of the new sub-page, write your reason for nominating the list below the heading, and save the sub-page. Please make sure you sign your post. Finally, place {{Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/name of nominated list}} at the top of the list of nominees on this page by first copying the above, clicking "edit" on the top of this page, and then pasting, making sure to add the name of the nominated list. While adding a candidate, mention the name of the list in the edit summary. Supporting and objecting Please read a nominated list fully before deciding to support or oppose a nomination. To respond to a nomination, click the "Edit" link to the right of the list nomination (not the "Edit this page" link for the whole FLC page). To support a nomination, write *'''Support''', followed by your reason(s). If you have been a significant contributor to the list before its nomination, please indicate this. To oppose a nomination, write *'''Object''' or *'''Oppose''', followed by the reason(s). Each objection must provide a specific rationale that can be addressed. If nothing can be done in principle to address the objection, the director may ignore it. References on style and grammar do not always agree; if a contributor cites support for a certain style in a standard reference work or other authoritative source, reviewers should consider accepting it. Reviewers who object are strongly encouraged to return after a few days to check whether their objection has been addressed. To withdraw the objection, strike it out (with <s> ... </s>) rather than removing it. Alternately, reviewers may hide lengthy, resolved commentary in a cap template with a signature in the header. This method should be used sparingly, because it can cause the FLC archives to exceed template limits. If a nominator feels that an Oppose has been addressed, they should say so after the reviewer's signature rather than striking out or splitting up the reviewer's text. Per talk page guidelines, nominators should not cap, alter, strike, break up, or add graphics to comments from other editors; replies are added below the signature on the reviewer's commentary. If a nominator finds that an opposing reviewer is not returning to the nomination page to revisit improvements, this should be noted on the nomination page, with a diff to the reviewer's talk page showing the request to reconsider. Graphics are discouraged (for example, Y Done or N Not done), as they slow down the page load time. To provide constructive input on a nomination without specifically supporting or objecting, write *'''Comment''' followed by your advice.

Nominations

List of Kirby media

This list is based off of List of Castlevania titles, List of Harvest Moon titles, List of F-Zero media, and other video game featured lists. This is my first FLC, but I believe that the list is up to the FL criteria. All concerns will most likely be reviewed by me, and have a good time reviewing it. -- Nomader ^(Talk) 23:23, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose The lead is not large enough, please see List of One Piece video games as a guide. Also, Featured Lists no longer start "This is a list of..." anymore. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:53, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose from me too; lead is too short. But shouldn't take too long to expand (make sure the prose is in tip-top shape!) Gary King (talk) 00:16, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

• I've expanded the lead a bit more now, but I'll continue to expand it over the next couple hours. I addressed the "This is a list of..." sentence and replaced it with a sentence based on examples from other FLs. -- Nomader ^(Talk) 00:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Timeline of the Adriatic campaign, 1807–1814

Hi, I've been working on this for months, but I think its finally ready. This is a tricky one, and I haven't seen anything like this elsewhere on Wikipedia, let alone at FLC, so its slightly virgin territory. As described at the top, the timeline covers the events of one specific campaign on the left, contextualised with important events in the wider Napoleonic Wars on the right. Hopefully this article fulfills the criteria. (Redlinks are being steadily filled in by myself and another editor and should be mostly completed in a couple of weeks.)--Jackyd101 (talk) 00:35, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

List of current Canadian senators

I'm back to my favorite type of list - the kind without 50+ images. Even if I wanted, an image for every entrant, my guess is that maybe 5 at most actually have free images. Anyway, all concerns will be addressed by me, have fun reviewing. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Fixed.
• "legislation, the" – "legislation; the"
  • Done.
• "thought."" – "thought"."
  • Done.
• "the prime minister and Cabinet" – "the Prime Minister and Cabinet" (bump the Prime Minister link from the bottom to the top, here)
  • Done.
• Should "lower house" be "Lower House"?
  • Fixed
    • I don't think it should be. The word "House" by itself can be capitalized because it is short for the full name "House of Commons", but "lower house" is just a description of House of Commons, not a name in and of itself. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 16:34, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
• Should every mention of "house" be capitalized?
  • Fixed.
• capitalize "Prime Minister" throughout
  • Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Titles, it should only be capitalized when talking about a specific person (ie. Prime Minister Stephen Harper).

Comments

• I don't know much about Canadian history, which I think is an advantage for reviewing the list, whose aim is to be of use to ill-informed readers. Here are a few comments:
  • The list cites the List of senators in the 40th Parliament of Canada in its See also section. However, it seems to me that the 40th Parliament is the current Parliament, right? Therefore, I don't understand what's the point of having duplicate lists with each one citing the other in its See also section.
    • Well, the 40th Parliament list also includes Senators that have resigned/retired/changed parties during the current session, so I think it's a relevant link.
  • The lead section is too long in my opinion. One way to shorten it would be to remove the section devoted to criticism of the Senate and its proposed reform. It is a bit overlong and out of place here. Since there's a whole Wikipedia article that deals with this topic, I think that one or two sentences summing up the issue would be enough.
    • I disagree, the proposed reform has a lot to do with the Senate right now, it provides a background for why there are so many vacant spots at the moment.
  • Some points should be stated much more clearly. For instance, it took me a while to understand that the whole Senate was a non-elected body. I think this should be stated explicitly very early in the article. For instance, in the second sentence: The Senate [is a non-elected body] that came into existence in 1867.
    • Done.
  • The article does not give any information whatsoever about the proportion of women in the current Senate. It would be also interesting to know whether any of the current members come from so-called visible minorities.
    • I'll see what I can do.
  • Shouldn't the notes be listed in a separate Notes section?
    • Possibly, but I've never really liked having notes sections, I prefer to keep them in the relevant sections.
  • Why isn't there a publisher for Ref#8?
    • Human error. I accidently listed the publisher (CBC) as the title.
  • The sorting function in the statistics table doesn't function properly. Either remove it or try to fix it (I think there's a problem with the "colspan" feature).
    • Right, I meant to remove that, but I forgot. Done.

However, this is a good list overall. Nice job. Regards. BomBom (talk) 15:02, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:20, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

List of monarchs of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty

previous FLC (20:02, 8 September 2008)

This is a list in an underrepresented category (royalty, nobility and heraldry) that is fully compliant with all of the FL criteria. The previous nomination simply failed because reviewers did not take the time to come back to the nomination page once they had written their comments; had they done so, they would have noticed that all of their remarks had been promptly taken into account. Therefore, I hope this time reviewers will not only make comments, but be kind enough to support if they realize that all of their objections have been addressed.

List of Prime Ministers of Canada by time in office

previous FLC

I have fixed the minor problems in the first nomination as well as added a "remarks" column to give informational content beyond that of the main list of Prime Ministers. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs)

Comments

• Can you put the color backgrounds on the names instead of the numbers?
  • The colouring may not be ideal, but I have the colour on the numbers so that it matches the style of other lists about Canadian politics, like the premier lists, several of which are already FL. I wouldn't mind changing the colour setup, but I'd rather get a consensus from the wikiproject to change all the lists together rather than have this one stand out. Doing that might take a while, but I'll look into it. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
• Since this list has to be updated every day since there will always be a Prime Minister, I suggest you note that the list has been last updated on (date).
  • The list already mentions the date at which it's accurate twice: once in the lead and once in the incumbent's row. I don't understand what else you want. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:48, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I was just scanning through the page, so no worries.

One more comment

• "...is the incumbent prime minister as at November 29, 2008." "as at" --> "as of". -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 23:59, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
  • I use to use "as of", and it is clearly the more common one, but then someone changed it on one of my pages, and after a debate with them, they convinced me that "as of" doesn't really make much grammatical scene. We say that something happened at a given time, not of a given time. I need to find a grammar book to figure out what's going on with that phrase. --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 00:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I could be wrong, but I think the phrase "as at" is incorrect. Even if it is the right terminology, I think you should use "as of" since it is far more common.—Chris! _ct 02:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

• • I just want to know which reference is verifying the "Remarks" column. I can't seem to find it.—Chris! _ct 02:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Of the the refs linked in the header of the remarks column, the first is an online source with biographies of prime ministers up to 1994, and the other three are encyclopedia entries for the three prime ministers since then. Is there another way I should have the refs set up? --Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 14:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Comment

• I think you should've asked Arctic.gnome if you can nominate this article before actually nominating it, since I think Arctic.gnome is the main contributor of this article. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 05:30, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

  I'm actively working with him on these Premier articles to form a topic. We are both working together on this. Gary King (talk) 16:01, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

  If you both are working on this article, then I think both of you should deserve the nomination. I'm sure if you ask him to co-nominate with you, he'll gladly accept. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 06:36, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

  I just truly want Arctic.gnome to have credit for his work on the article. That's all. I don't want to have credit for this as I only re-wrote the dates, and wrote the last paragraph. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24_[c] 23:07, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a good list, and as a fan of WRC I'm pleased somebody has finally gotten around to doing it. I have just a couple of things.

• I sort of see this as a "sister" list to the FA List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions, but that one has more columns, such as "Team", "Fastest Laps", and "Clinched", which could possibly be recreated here with "Team" (or "Constructor"), "Fastest Leg" (or "Day"), Fastest Special stage (rallying), and "Clinched"

I can't get reliable info a stage wins for a season so can't add this and clinched would not work as I can't link to all the races, but if this does not matter then I'll add that NapHit (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

• Would it be possible to add a "Co-Driver" column, or have some champions had more than one co-driver in a season?

I think some drivers have had more than co-driver in a season NapHit (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

• "By constructor" table needs its heading correcting from "country" to "constructor"

Done NapHit (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

• The constructors don't link to constructors, but car manufacturers. Shouldn't it be either Munchi's Ford World Rally Team, Stobart VK M-Sport Ford Rally Team, or BP Ford World Rally Team, rather than just Ford, Citroën Total World Rally Team instead of Citroen, and Subaru World Rally Team not Subaru, etc?

It does indeed, I've added the page number NapHit (talk) 14:16, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

• Refs shouldn't really be using ISO date formatting any longer. Since the WRC is an international thing, I recommend "28 November 2008" over "2008-11-27" or "November 27, 2008". There are special fields in {{cite web}} and {{cite news}} to do this.
