Labor history*

[edit]
Reason

For such an important topic in American and world history, barely anything has been written so far. This should not be hard to research.--Vorpalbla 15:00 3/27/05

InuYasha*

[edit]
Reason
One of the more notable animes in the world today, it was already brushed-up a bit during a FA nomination. I don't think it's that far from FA...although I always say that. -Litefantastic 17:09, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  2. Josh 04:03, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC). I'm not sure how far the article needs to go, but it sounds like a good idea.
  3. LG-犬夜叉 06:38, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC). The characters section can use some more clean up. Additional real contents related to the story should be present in the main article, tho right now I'm not sure what to include exactly.

Theater*

[edit]
Reason
A very important arts topic with a rather poor entry. I suggested on the talk page that the section on the theater buildings should have its own entry, but as of yet, no one has responded. Ganymead 22:37, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mesopotamia*

This looks like COTW territory. -Litefantastic 12:04, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have yet to see any difference between COTW and AID. I thought I'd propose this article again here and see what happens and if nothing happens I'll send it to COTW. Ganymead 20:31, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This was nominated on COTW, I nominated. It did not pass, not because it was not a stub, but simply because of lack of votes.--Dmcdevit 00:25, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Since this has previously nominated, should I delist it here and nominate it again for COTW? Ganymead 01:28, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Magic (illusion)*

[edit]
Reason
A lot of people are interested in magic. Yet this article fails to give a comprehensive view of the art's history. It also has no real bearing with a whole bunch of unrelated sections in a non-logical order. It needs loads of help. More than I can give on my own.

Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language*

[edit]
Reason

This is Samuel Johnson's famous work, which celebrates the 250th anniversary of its publication on April 15. The article is okay, but nowhere near Featured Article status.
