Rachel Carson[edit]
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)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
- Sonwball object per above reasoning. LuciferMorgan 14:38, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose, per Sandy. -- Phoenix2 (talk, review) 15:37, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- At this point, this should go to peer review. --Aude (talk) 17:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- 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)[reply]
