Nomination restarted (Old nom) Raul654 (talk) 01:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose Many of my original comments still stand and the prose throughout the article needs a heavy copy-edit to meet the required "professional" standard. An FA should not be riddled with simple grammatical/punctuation/spelling errors. Unfortunately, the problems in the writing go beyond these simple errors; repetition, awkward phrasing, run-on sentences, etc. mar this article. BuddingJournalist 02:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose: Per my last nom (awful prose). Have BuddingJournalist's or my concerns even been addressed? indopug (talk) 04:11, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
• Support: Article doesn't appear to have any major problems. Writing and references look very good. (Ibaranoff24 (talk) 01:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC))
• Comment What the hell are you doing? It's clear that the problems brought up in the previous FAC discussion have not been addressed and you have overwritten the old FAC discussion, you're a moron. Rezter ^TALK 11:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Whoa, there. Please be civil, Rezter. The nomination has been restarted for one reason or another, but the old nom comments are still available here, which is where Raul linked to. Besides, is the nominator allowed to oppose their own nomination? María (habla conmigo) 13:36, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I never nominated it this time. I am opposing because it's clear that the previous problems brought up have not been addressed, which certainly need to be the least of things achieved before it's re-listed as a FAC. I apologize for appearing aggressive. Rezter ^TALK 13:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

This is not a new nomination; it is the previous nomination restarted by the FA director. So, yes, you are the nominator. :) The FAC process is still ongoing, so if you wish to work on the non-addressed issues, you have time to do so. If you would rather close this FAC, you could ask for that. María (habla conmigo) 13:51, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose - for the (admittedly) rather wooly reason that I do not think the article is written in the encyclopaedic tone neccessary for featured status. Guest9999 (talk) 14:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose so previous issues can be taken care of. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 00:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
