My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic edit

Nominator(s): Intelligent Deathclaw (talk) 15:32, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because I think it merits review and promotion. Two or three years ago, if you told me that this would have been little more than a stub article, I would've called you crazy. Today, it is a good article in it's final steps towards evolving into a featured article. Intelligent Deathclaw (talk) 15:32, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a comment from one of the major editors on this page, I'm not 100% sure it is ready for FA (I haven't spent any time on cleaning it up, etc. prior to this) I'm not asking the FAC be pulled at this time, as if it just needs a bit of polish to be an FA, I'll certainly do it to get it there. This is more a cautionary note that I think this needs works only based on what I know I've done and watched on the article, and I haven't sat down to check off how well it meets the FA requirements, etc. --MASEM (t) 15:59, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - spotchecks not done

Don't use bare URLs
Be very careful about using self-published sources like Facebook posts
What makes Priced Nostalgia Press a high-quality publisher?
Dead links
FN30: accessdate?
What makes this a high-quality reliable source? This?
Don't write titles in all-caps
FN69: why is everything unknown?

Oppose pending improvements. In addition to the issues noted above, please take a look at general formatting consistency and source reliability. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:40, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate comment -- After almost 6 weeks, this nom hasn't generated the sort of interest that's likely to see consensus to promote achieved any time soon, nor have the issues raised by Nikki been addressed well over a week after they were posted, so I'll be archiving shortly. Pls address outstanding issues before considering renominating at FAC after the usual two-week waiting period. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 05:41, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
