Wigwag[edit]

This is a low quality article which has no refrences whatsoever. Also, in its previous farc, it was voted to be removed but no one ever did. See: Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Wigwag Archive 1 This is the worst FA I have ever encoutered on WP. Tobyk777 05:47, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Taxman removed it because no time was given on the talk page to address concerns, particularly the lack of referencing. He made a so far unanswered comment himself two-and-a-half days ago. This may be summarily de-listed again, however, it is an obvious remove candidate and that's my vote. Even if you threw refs in here it is very far from exemplifying our "best work." The intro is too short, the design section is too long and "history of", "design of" and "location of" subjects are inter-mixed to a degree that requires structural revamping. There is certainly some interesting and specific details in here and I wouldn't call it "low quality." Rather I think it the sort of middle of the road article you find a lot on the wiki: info more or less in place but structure and references lacking. Marskell 09:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seriously? You read that page explaining why the listing was removed and you still nominated it again without following the guidelines? It also has a reference, it just wasn't listed in a references section, which I have now done. To list here, you need to detail on the talk page what you find wrong with the article and give some time to fix it. That's just polite. And I'm curious how you passed over the three times you would have had to read that guideline to make the nomination. - Taxman Talk 13:56, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
