Self-nom. I believe this now meets all of the specified criteria, so am listing it here. If I'm wrong, please sound off and I'll do my best to fix it up. See also: peer review page. -- Visviva 09:15, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Archived previous nomination

Okay since the first FLC this has been greatly improved per the comments left on the old page. Also this has gone through a thorough peer review and all the suggestions there have been seen to. The main concern with the previous nom seemed to be the length of the lead, now at two paragraphs the lead complies with these suggestions (at two paragraphs long) everything is sourced and I think we have the Featured List precedent for a List of characters article here.

  1. Wikipedia's best work: Provides information in a format that cannot be found elsewhere on the internet.
  2. Useful, comprehensive, factually accurate, stable, and well-organised:
    • Useful: Summarises information on seats won and vote shere from 17 elections, and allows visitors to easily compare results from successive general elections
    • Comprehensive: Covers every general election since Confederation
    • Factually accurate: can be verified via Elections Newfoundland and Labrador.
    • Stable: Will be only be updated every four years or so
  3. Well-organised: Easy to find any required information
  4. Uncontroversial: no edit wars or disuptes of any kind, ever
  5. Standards / style manual: Layout is clear and concise
  6. Images: Sole image has approriate copyright status

(Self-nomination) Tompw (talk) 17:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has turned almost all of the red links blue while I was not looking! Comments and ideas welcome. -- ALoan (Talk) 22:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Lead could explain what an encyclical is. Latin names should be in italics per the MoS. The reference should be properly formatted, idealy using cite web or at least show as much information as required by the template. -- Rune.welsh | ταλκ 19:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Nice and to the point. -- Rune.welsh | ταλκ 03:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Self-nom. List of towns in the province of Alberta, Canada, with some statistical data. List is comprehensive, stable (numbers would change every 2 years, but are easy to update), accurate, uncontroversial. It's well linked to, as part of the {{Alberta}} navbox. --Qyd 18:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Town population can exceed 10,000 people unless the council requests a change to city status," - this sentence isn't written correctly. Why are some towns listed with "(located in)"? Rmhermen 00:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the input; Reworded sentence; the larger towns are administratively autonomous, even if when they are surrounded by land governed by county authorities; removed "located in", as it's specified at remarks that those towns are stand-alone municipalities. --Qyd 00:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When this was last nominated a week ago, all the comments were dealt with within a few days of its nomination, but no one bothered voting ether for or against. According to the {{FLCfailed}} template now on the page, I can resubmit this “once the objections have been addressed”, and since all of the objections had been addressed four days into it’s last nomination, I guess I can just resubmit this automatically.

In great shape, dynamic but I feel very comprehensive, includes some pictures for flavor, extremely well-cited. Two notes before you view:

  • There's a citation for every single alumnus/na except for numerous federal legislators; those that seem to be unsourced are all covered by the this blanket list, which is the supporting citation for the statement "Over 164 Dartmouth graduates have served in the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives." The list was compiled in 1999; those federal legislators who took office after then have their own supporting citations.
  • I realize the intro is rather short by FLC standards, but I honestly can't think of legitimately relevant information that could be put there. It's simply a clear definition of what the list comprises; if you see this as a problem, please identify some specific information that could be included to expand it.

Thanks! Dylan 06:16, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - May want to consider putting the list in chart format, see List of Oregon State University people for an example. There are several other featured lists of people in chart format and we may want to have consistency in that regard, although I certainly don't think that should prevent it from being featured by itself. Also see what I did at list of OSU people for the lead to expand it, you may want to come up with something like that. My reasons for oppose are: What dictates the order of the TOC? You may want to make it in alphabetical order. Headers should not be wikilinked per the MOS. Image:Dartmouth Shield.png needs a fair use rationale to be used on the list. Image:WilliamJewettTucker.jpeg is untagged, it needs an appropriate tag. Image:DSouzal.jpg looks suspect. Looks like a promotional photo yet tagged as PD-self by an editor with very few contributions and who has several image deletion notices on his talk page. Image:Michael slive.jpg needs a fair use rationale. All references should use the cite web template. Biographies on IMDB are submitted by users and cannot be considered reliable sources. "Sports" section doesn't look very comprehensive. I realise Dartmouth isn't in a power conference but I am sure there are more sportspeople that could be included. There is an arbitrary white space under the "Members of the United States Congress" header, probably due to the image next to it that needs to be fixed. There should not be multiple wikilinks to the same article in the same section (i.e. linking to vermont multiple times in the members of US congress sections).

    • Comment Thanks -- those are a ton of really good suggestions that I can use. I'm on it. Dylan 07:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • I hope I didn't come off too strongly. The list is still better than 99% of alumni lists on Wikipedia. Also, for not wanting to link to the same source for all the congressmen, see what I did for all the football players on the OSU list. You can just assign the source a name and add that at the end of each person without much extra work. VegaDark 07:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment Oh, no, not at all, I was being sincere -- those are good suggestions and they're really going to help me improve the article. I'll do that for the congressmen. Dylan 07:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Support - All my comments have been addressed, very good work. I'm going to have to steal the "sort by" button at the title of columns for my list, that is a very nice feature. VegaDark 20:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. You should find a source for Josiah Bartlet, but all in all it looks good. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC) Support --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just wrote this yesterday, and I believe it adheres to the featured list criteria. Comments? Hurricanehink (talk) 15:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Self-nom. I just moved this list to the main namespace today, and I think that it is suitable for becoming another featured list. It meets all of the criteria. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 19:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Improper date linking. Rmhermen 19:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It needs a picture at the top of the page on the right. Also, it varies between present and past tense. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been through peer review and the issues raised there have been resolved. I believe this list now meets the criteria required for FLC candidates. Self nomination. HornetMike 14:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That only applies if it wasn't used as a reference. I believe it does serve as a reference since it enables the reader to check that these managers are still the manager. (Though that ref isn't updated as quickly as this list.) Colin°Talk 18:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't see any problem with that. He was born in Italy and lived in England, hence both. If anything, the Italian flag has more reason for being there - I imagine there's a few managers listed there as Irish and Welsh who've spent most of their lives in England. HornetMike 18:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:MOSBIO, the nationality should be "the country of which the person is a citizen or national, or was a citizen when the person became notable." According to List of British football players with dual nationality, he has dual nationality (though that list has no sources). If he really has dual nationality, then I guess that is OK. Colin°Talk 19:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is one is different from the previous four, in that it also has a table showing percentage share of vote. Self nomination. Tompw 23:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Nova Scotia House of Assembly goes back to 1758. I understand if you only want to include post-confederation results, but you should mention in the opening what you are including and spend at least some space talking about the pre-confederation background. --Arctic Gnome 19:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    OK, I've expanded the intro accodingly... please take a look.
  • Object I'm afraid- too many redlinks, which is one of the things sepcifically commented on in the Requirements for lists. Also, Artctic Gnome's comments need to be incorporated, and I'd like to see the percentage of vote and number of seats in a single table, as I think that would be more useful. Looking back on the other lists you've done, I see that Saskatchewan gives the total number of seats in the table as well- that'd probably be a useful addition for this and the other lists as well. --G Rutter 19:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good work (I thought I'd already changed my vote- clearly pressed the wrong button!)! I'd have gone with option 1 anyway (with the addition of (%) on the Vote)- it'd be interesting to do this for the other tables as well (he writes, cheerfully creating more work for other people!). I hope that this one gets through now as well! --G Rutter 20:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • You're right on the redlinks issue. I'd forgotten about that one. I shall create brief articles for them all. In the mean time, let's deal with the rest of the issues.
    • Total seats - done.
    • Single table...I thought about this, and two posisble layouts sprang to mind. One is to have a party's seats and votes in adjacent columns (so that info is grouped by party); the other is (essenentially) to have the votes table alongside the seats tabl (so that the info is grouped by type). What the table top look like is shown below. I'm not convinced that either works very well visually.... what do people think? Tompw 20:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      Ignore that... I've gone ahead and combined the tables (using option 1). Only took 20 mins. Tompw 20:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was a Good Article until they stopped accepting lists. The arricle had a peer review, and the few suggestions made have been acted on. Tompw 14:04, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This list had good reviews and had probably reached concensus to be a Featured List in a prior nomination; however, because of some discussions to drastically reformat the list, I withdrew the nomination. Those discussions have concluded and this list is being submitted for featured list status again.

Improvements since last nomination (or as a result of comments from the last nomination):

  • Introduction is more concise
  • Addition of Image showing locations of all temples
  • Improved references
  • Use of templates to remove table formatting
    • Allows editing of data on each temple to be entered by novices without effecting formatting
    • Makes reviewing and finding individual temples in the edit screen easier
  • Addition of statistics chart
  • A stub or more exists for every temple that has been completed, and some that are under construction or announced
  • Images have been added (first 10 temples all have images)
  • No fair use images remain

Respectfully --Trödel 18:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The 5 temples under contruction have external links for their "Construction details". External links should be only found in the appropriate end sections.
    √ Moved to references. Current status summarized from lds.org and ldschurchtemples.com
  • The (D&C 88:119-120) external link, I'm less sure about. If you moved this to the footnotes/references section, you could expand the citation (I didn't know what D&C was) and even supply a short quote using the cite book template.
    √ moved quote - leaving quote in biblical "Book_name Chap:Verse(s)" format (
  • The nine anonymous hyperlinks can be found in the Footnotes section. These should be fully cited. Footnotes with inline-citations are awkward. You could consider using the ref/note system for lettered footnotes (see the Canadian election FLCs), which then appear above the References section and so can themselves be sourced.
    √ I limited this to only those areas where readers tend to edit the data incorrectly. Since it really is a good reference, but people tend to change the information I want to leave the links in.
    • I don't understand this. What are readers editing incorrectly? Why is this stopping you using a full citation? You don't need to do the notes/refs split, just put the citation in parenthesis if you want. But they should be full {{cite press release}} {{cite web}}, etc with dates, publisher, title, access dates, etc. Conditional support Colin°Talk 14:07, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ahh, I misunderstood - I thought you were suggesting to use the notes/ref split. Now the suggestion makes more sense to me. Major references should go in reference section like a normal article. And minor references should be in footnotes. I will use the full cites - I don't see why we shouldn't. --Trödel 14:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Hmm What I meant originally was a style where comment-footnotes use letters, citation-footnotes use numbers and general references are a bullet-point list. This allows the comment-footnotes to have superscript numbered inline-citations of their own. It is just a style - if you want all footnotes (comments and sources) to be mixed together then that's ok, just a bit messy. To complicate things futher, some folk just use an abbreviated cite in the footnote (especially when making extensive use of a textbook) and put the full citation in the references at the end. In the end, it gets fully cited, which is what matters. Clear as mud? Colin°Talk 15:31, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yep - can you link me to an example of that - I have been using the <ref> type for the footnotes rather than the harvard style - which I like for references that are used more than once (bullet list at end - Author, year. for the inline or footnote cites) but would be interested in the a,b,c, and 1,2,3 used simultaneously - I looked at some of the current Canada election candidates for FL but couldn't find (or saw and didn't recognize) the example you referred me to previously. BTW, this is complete I believe. --Trödel 16:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • What I mean by editing incorrectly. For example the Southwest part of Salt Lake Valley temple: This was being changed by giving it a number, and putting in Bluffdale Temple or Herriman Temple - I wanted to leave the notes in so it is clear that the temple property was acquired but no announcement was made indicating that efforts towards construction had started. --Trödel 15:04, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't see how the mormon.org site served as a reference to this.
    √ I think this was included in some references included from the Temple (Mormonism) page and information from that link is not being used so I removed it
  • The www.ldschurchtemples.com site seems to the source of much of the data (including area and style) as discussed on the talk page. The www.lds.org site is similar but doesn't have all the data (that I can find). So I think the former needs to be a reference.
    √ For me the main source I used was the almanac (I referenced the one I own but also borrowed the 2006 edition (published in 2005)
  • Drop the ---- surname bit in the citation template, it looks odd.
    √ implemented
  • Don't include external links that you've already got as references. Try to ruthlessly prune your external links – they must add a signifcant amount of info relevant to this list in particular (as opposed to all the other LDS articles).
    √ cleaned up
  • Similary, prune your See also for the similar reasons. If you've already got wikilinks, don't add a see also.
    √ removed those that are already referenced inteh article text
  • Note 6 (rededication date) is not required since your row heading already says "Rededication".
    √ implemented
  • Some of the Notes concerning Rededication specifics could be just appended to the Rededication row. Number 25 could have a Rededication row. Alternatively, some Notes could be made footnotes.
    √ resolved I believe
  • Number 10 mentions reopening but not when it closed (only mentioned in footnote). To be honest, this seems a somewhat trivial detail for this list.
    √ moved this detail to the main article - was only of interest during the renovation really.
  • Don't know what "Smaller and remote area 1" means. Perhaps you could explain this in the lead or wiklink?
    √ Updated to match styles given in references. Bytebear is working on Temple architecture (Latter-day Saints) using the Hawkins book and other references on getting these titles sourced and consistent.
  • Footnote 13 has rather too many references!
    √ resolved
  • Re: wikilinking dedication person. Convention is to link just the first occurrence. How about a compromise of linking just the first occurence per section.
    ʘ Would like to leave this as is for now, this will change with the implementation of the centralized data locaiton for each temple that will be used in the lists and the individual temple pages. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement/Temples
  • The Jun-Dec 2000 section doesn't have lines between the temples.
    √ This is a rendering issue that occasionally happens on my monitor too - but the table lines are in there and defined properly so try refreshing the screen.
Yes, that is an issue in long tables and those with a bit more complex layout. I believe the root of the problem lies in the "wikitable" CSS class. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 08:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The original Apia Samoa should be listed under "temples destroyed" section. No number as in the text below. But it seems odd to be numbered below. let's move it up.
  • Far West (announced by smtih on the eighth day of July, 1831, discourses of Brigham young 471; cornerstones dedicated april 26, 1839 - discources of wilford woodruff pvi, also d&c 115 7-8)
  • Adam-ondi-Ahman/Spring Hill (announced april 26, 1838, and site selected in may 1838 and dedicated by JS jr - see Orson F. Whitney, Life of Heber C. Kimball, 2nd ed. (Salt Lake City: Stevens and Wallis, 1945), pp. 208-9.)

    • I like the idea of moving Apia Samoa under Nauvoo. Not sure where we would put "Abandoned" temples (under Announced maybe?) - of course Harrison NY is looking pretty abandoned ;) - We may also want to included Hartford Connecticut. It was announced and abandoned as well. --Trödel 18:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      I was just joking about Harrison - but when I went to the official list - it is now missing .... --Trödel 18:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Perhaps we list them under a section titled: "Announced but no current plans" rather than abandoned. LDS theology would typically say that once a temple site as been designated by revelation, it will be built there, just a matter of timing either before or after Jesus returns, or even "in heaven." I think a new section is warranted for this. -Visorstuff 18:23, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm resubmitting this list because the concerns that were brought up the first time (only one – a discussion on the talk page which has since been resolved through references) have now been fixed. One thing that was brought up too late was about images – I've searched and can't find a free image of anything even remotely relevant, nor a fair use image which, in placing it in the article, would satisfy FUC. I'm satisfied with the page now and think it's well-referenced and clear. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 21:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. You don't need to use an image for the timeline - see m:EasyTimeline as implemented in John Vanbrugh (see {{John Vanbrugh timeline}}) and Isambard Kingdom Brunel (see {{Isambard Kingdom Brunel timeline}}). -- ALoan (Talk) 14:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would the Easy Timeline be redundant, however? I can understand putting it in an article, but to have a timeline image on an article entirely devoted to the timeline? I'll remove the image anyway. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 18:27, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One advantage of the image is that is presents the two timelines side-by-side. I think an EasyTimeline could do the same. As I see it, the image/timeline and the text should be doing different things - the image/timeline should be a short summary of what happened when, and the text should be a longer narrative explanation. -- ALoan (Talk) 19:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Some things Lewis put on the timeline, like "570 – About this time lived Moonwood the Hare," we know nothing else about, he only randomly mentioned them on the timeline. I understand the purpose of seeing the timeline side-by-side, but I don't entirely agree with the duplicate nature involved in it. One advantage to it
(dates only) in a right column, to see when the years aligned with each other, something which is not proportionally (visually) shown in the list. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 21:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The image doesn't include everything in the timeline, and could include any arbitrary lesser amount of text. If that helps with the decision. LloydSommerer 03:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The formatting doesn't do anything for me, I'm afraid. The way the England section refers back to the Narnian time just seems clumsy compared to a visual timeline (like the picture that seems to have gone). Perhaps ALoan's suggestion (EasyTimeline) would help, but I'm not familiar with it. The "See also" link should be better formatted. I'm a little bit uneasy about effectively reproducing a portion of a work of fiction (or the author's commentary on it). Colin°Talk 23:26, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
To address each of your points:
  • The England section, as I see it, is meant to be more of an "add-on" section. The part about the Narnian time is really the key thing; England is just additional info. It so happens that certain key years in that history directly correspond to Narnian years, and since we're on the Narnian years page, we'll list those years that are equal. (Then, we'll throw in birth dates to be complete.)
  • See also link: I always thought you weren't supposed to pipe links like that, because there's no other text which is supposed to be read there like you do when you pipe within prose, as I just did (the page name is Help:Link but I want it to read "pipe"; in a see also set-up you just need the page name). Maybe I'm confusing that with dab pages.
  • What are you uneasy about? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 03:19, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh, I don't know. Just seems a bit like lifing a "whole something" rather than just extracting bits from a larger source. Just ignore it. I'm going to sit on the fence here. I'm just not going "wow" enough ("our very best work") to Support but have no strong reason to Oppose. I thought a few comments were better than the silence you got last time. Colin°Talk 13:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's okay, I understand and appreciate this. Though about the "see also" link – should it be piped so as to read "History of Narnia" or something, or aren't they supposed to not be piped? Or is that only for dab links? --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 00:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • Comment - The lead looks a lot better now. Except I noticed that there is not a single reference for the entire list. This needs references before It would have my support. Surely there are some episode guides around the net that can be used? Other things I noticed is that the pilot episode is mentioned as never airing, yet isn't on the list. Even if it didn't air I think it should be included, with a note saying it never aired. Another thing is that the first instance the title of the list in the article should be bolded per the Manual of Style. VegaDark 22:21, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditonal Support Support The episode summaries should be rewritten as above with the added note: spoilers should not be avoided for the sake of not revealing information. If it's really important information it should be included. I also think the fair use rationales on the images could be a little more specific. That is, say why that particular image was chosen for a reason other than it came from the episode, such as "This image illustrates "foo" which is important because "bar". Jay32183 19:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Man I just tacked my own singular fair use onto those. But if it's necessary I can go though and give a reasoning for each. The picture for "The Library" might need to be changed though, never liked it on there anyway. As for the spoilers, there is no reason for spoilers to be on a simple list. The list is there to be a list, not to be details of the episodes, that is what their individual pages are for. There are many people that use the list simply as a reference as to what shows they have missed and then go look for them, spoiling it would be unfair to them. In all fairness the plot information isn't even needed as it isn't always on other featured lists. H2P (Yell at me for what I've done) 20:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clear, carefully constructed list, utterly transparent in its NPOV criteria. A few objections of possible bias have, I think, been dealt with.

  • Comment: I don't feel qualified to vote at the moment as I'm not familiar with FL process and criteria - I don't know my way around here as well as I do FA - and anyway I contributed very heavily to this list - but it does strike me that whatever objections are raised this list cannot be far off. The referencing is exhaustive and the criteria used for selection are absolutely NPOV. I've just added a few pretty pictures per WP:WIAFL. Moreschi 21:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I'm a bit embarrassed about how I came across this article. I'm normally not a big fan of lists and articles that say things like "major" or "notable". I was in a dispute over an unrelated list that was to the same extent, and someone mentioned this article. In a huff I went over and placed the {{OR}} tag on it, and when it got removed I listed the article for deletion. I don't normally make such a WP:POINT violation.. and it was pretty clear that's what I had done when I started to read people's comments to be about the deletion. I retracted my nomination and got some much needed sleep and break away from editing. That little story aside, the article is actually very excellent, and upon further reflection, the inclusion criteria is helps to make this article neutral and stable. No new statements were being made, so OR wasn't an issue as I had originally thought. Keep in mind, I'm not supporting this to "make up" for my mistake, but rather because I really do feel this is a feature worthy list. I only felt it necessary to explain that situation incase someone thought "hey, why is he supporting? didn't he try to delete that article?". -- Ned Scott 05:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - the lead is too short, the "Lists consulted" section is a meta-section and needs to be merged with references, women section needs less self-reference (stuff on how you came up with the names), when citing websites please use {{cite web}} and books {{cite book}}, and small fact: first surviving opera, Euridice (1600) or the first ever opera, Dafne? Renata 22:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree with your objection to the meta-section: A clear explanation of how the list was created is important, as it states its limits and possible biases. However, it could easily be added to a sub-section of References. The Women section has to be self-referential a bit, as we must be clear as to the limitations of the techniques for choosing major opera composers in order to explain why there are no women in the main list: I fear you'v e missed the major controversies. We want to be clear that some authorities do believe these are major opera composers, while being clear why they're seperated. Also, if we don't explain the criteria, we're going to be sent right back to the old, untentable situation where people just added whoever they wanted. The templates do not offer a useful option for citing only part of a book, and we can't just cite the whole book the lists came from, as we are NOT using every opera composer listed in an encyclopedia of opera. Still, I'll template the ones that can be. The lead, I suppose, could be longer, but I'll leave that to the other people responsible for the list. I've fixed Peri (answer: both).

The women section has been cleaned up and I fail to see much of a problem with the so-called "meta-section".

I hope you don't mind, but I reverted your changes to the lead because I have a feeling they would probably take us back into the POV "can of worms" territory we've tried to avoid in this page.

The "Lists consulted" section gives a very detailed explanation of that. There is a link to the "lists consulted" section in the lead. I think that's enough. --Folantin 14:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it does (or did), but the selection criteria are such a central element of this list that I think they really ought be set out in the lead. Anyway, I have said my piece. Let us see what others think. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:00, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We tried doing that once. It looked awful and unbalanced the page. I think a link is enough and any reader can handle it. It's better to put the thorough explanation at the bottom of the page. --Folantin 15:22, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
