Nominate and support. TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Aye, sure. This has a lot of variants, so I don't think it probematic that only a couple verses are sung. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As missing the most famous verse and as not being used in context with any articles. The article consists mainly of different versions of the song, however I was unable to find the version being sung. Parts of it are found in one or different versions, and one part is not in the article at all. It is also completely missing the macaroni verse which is the most iconic part of the song. However good the quality of the sound is, this isn't what it is supposed to be, by any stretch. Sven Manguard Wha? 00:12, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You didn't look very hard then. Last version, verses 2 and 3, from memory. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 07:29, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - His objection is largely about the omission of the most famous verse that is prominently mention in the early part of the text at Yankee_Doodle#History_and_lyrics and to the fact that the text of the article omits the verse that you and I seem to know and recognize in this version that starts with:

And there was General Washington

Upon a strappin stallion--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:30, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wait; I see - it mixes two versions. on the page. Awkward. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:36, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although the article notes the wide variety of verses in use, the verses that would be most useful to us are those that serve as the state anthem of Connecticut, which probably don't vary. I don't know which verses those are however.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nomination withdrawn after further thought. I don't think we should feature this version.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 17:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
