Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson's 100th birthday is on May 27. Her historical importance is undeniable no matter what position one has on the issues. If there are any problems with the article -- it seems good to me -- maybe it is time to quickly address them so the article can be featured. MichaelSH 13:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Object. The lead is too short for an FA, and it currently lacks any inline citations. I think this needs a thorough peer review for more detailed feedback before it gets nominated for FA status. Angmering 14:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Snowball object, peer review would be a better choice. The article is uncited and needs a lot of work. Sorry 'bout the important birthday, but work should have started sooner. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• Sonwball object per above reasoning. LuciferMorgan 14:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose, per Sandy. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 15:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
• At this point, this should go to peer review. --Aude (talk) 17:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Perhaps, but the advice is simple. One would have to wait several weeks to be told to expand the lead and work on grammatical errors, when that can simply be mentioned here. -- Phoenix2 ^{(talk, review)} 17:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

• It is clear this will fail and I accept the decision. Consider this a withdrawal. Perhaps media attention, if there is media attention, for the birthday will result in more work on the article. MichaelSH 20:35, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
