The last nomination failed due to lack of plurality in support, there were no objections brought forward, but one comment suggested it might be better as a featured article then a list. I have revamped and renamed the page since, and put it through a Peer Review here. Wikipedia:Peer review/List of Northwest Territories capitals/archive1 I have taken every comment posted into consideration and expanded the article based on suggestion.
I belive this article from my own point of view is unique to Wikipedia. In that no one source paints an entire comprehensive picture and history of the geographical changes of Northwest Territories government. It was a challenge to filter and merge disjointed information.
The history of Northwest Territories capitals is unique compared to any other Canadian province or territory. Northwest Territories, Canada, has had seven capital cities since being purchased by Canada from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1869. The territory has changed the seat of government for numerous reasons, due to civil conflict, development of infrastructure, and revised territorial boundaries.
The result of this change has created a complex history and a long road to responsible government. The path of evolution for the territory has provided a challenge for the Territories government to effectively provide services and representation for the population. A number of communities in Northwest Territories have also unsuccessfully tried to become the capital over the years. The territory has had the unique occurrence of the seat of government being outside of the territorial boundaries twice in its history.
On closer inspection, I'm afraid I have to revise my initial comment to 'very poorly written'. It's a great topic, but you need an editor to go through it intensively. Tony 04:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Almost there + comment to Tony. "Very poorly written" is unfair and given the straightforwardness of some of your concerns, it would have been as quick to edit it yourself as provide the above list. I think this probably a good case of an editor working largely alone and not having enough critical distance on his/her own writing. In any case, I have given this a copy-edit so perhaps Tony might re-evaluate. It probably needs another going over but I think its better.
I'm not quite ready to support myself though because it's a touch underweight. Fort Smith was administrative capital for 55 years--surely we can say more about it. Where was the administration housed and so on. Also, I think the nominator should go over this and weed out instances of mentioning things as matter of fact before they have been described. I removed a couple of these (ie., dabbing Battleford in its first mention rather than just its second). I'll post more if it comes to me. Marskell 15:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is a self-nominated article in which I have provided a majority of the input. The article has been peer reviewed and all comments addressed. I believe the article should be considered as a featured article because it meets the FA criteria and because I think historical aspects of the named organization would be of interest to the many readers of wikipedia. Please provide any constructive feedback/ideas on how the article can be improved to make it a featured artile. Ccson 14:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. The formatting makes for some rather long sections, like the consolidation and expansion section, which I find to be unpalatable. Is there any way that some of this can be broken up a bit? Otherwise, it looks good. --Danaman5 15:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)Support. This new formatting looks good. You have my support. However, two things to consider: you might want to move the quote at the end of pledging and the beginning of membership so that they are both fully within their respective sections, and the small picture gallery under heritage may be unnecessary, as the pictures themselves do not really relate to the fraternity.--Danaman5 17:43, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have addressed all the above concerns except the use of the quote boxes. Administrator Brenneman suggested I use article History of Michigan State University during peer review as an example of how to improve Alpha Phi Alpha. The suggested article uses quote boxes and where I got the idea and html code. I need more guidance as to why my use of the quote boxes is very unencyclopedic when a current Featured Article employs the same concept. Perhaps the boxes were added after it became a featured article. Please help. Ccson 14:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have communicated with a major contributor for the History of Michigan article, who states the quotes were in the article during FAC, and that no one questioned their encyclopedic value, and the article did received Feature Article status with the quote boxes. Ccson 03:38, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The objectives of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (Inc.) are to... this whole paragraph needs a source. ( Here too, I thought I had provided a footnote as well as link to the website this information was obtain), pls look again and I will verify.
TUF-Kat: I did an overhaul of the article and would appreciate it if you could C & P any remaining objections below this to see how much further this will have to be worked over. Thanks. Jtmichcock 03:38, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
TUK-KAT (and others): I have used quoteboxes in more than one article, the most recent being Gerald Ford which became a feature article just a few weeks ago. Just as we use photos and drawings to illustrate an article, it is perfectly legitimate to use quotes to the same effect. The FA process does not demand uniformity and should focus on content while allowing different styles to be advanced and appreciated. That's my .02. Jtmichcock 23:51, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please create an account if you want to participate during the FAC period, and please cite verifiable and reliable sources here before vandalizing article. Also, personal observation and experience is "opinion" not "fact". Ccson 16:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No one needs an account to comment and the person's link was entirely appropriate insofar as the "brown paper bag test" is still a problem within the black community. The problem was not the link, but the fact that the person deleted most of the rest of the article so that the link could be stuck in there. I have added content to the article to address the issue raised and I hope this will avoid further edit battles. Jtmichcock 23:51, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is not an article about the black commnunity, and the test he refers was used decades ago, and only by a single chapter as far as his reference cites. It's too generic to apply to the whole organization when this was a single act. Hazing is different, we only mention one chapter, but one can find many cases where this has occurred within Alpha and other fraternities and sororities. [User:CcsonCcson]]. Also, I know one doesn't need an account, but it difficult to determine who does the update when multiple use the same IP address.
I believe that this article has went through some major changes for the better since its last nomination. The article is very well-explored, and covers pretty much every inch of the movie. Partially a Self-nomination. PlatformerMastah 06:18, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Due to certain user's fine contributions, this article became unbiased, neutral and accurate. This article deserves to be Featured because of this. The finely written and this must not go unnoticed. This article really deserves to be featured someday.
In the last year (especially since Randy Johnson's perfect performance), this article has been substantially improved, researched, and acquired international content. It's well written, detailed, and from a Major League perspective anyway, complete till the next one. It's a good job, and good enough to represent WP on the FA list. It reflects the agony (losing a perfect game to a last possible batter's hit) and the ecstasy (17 in the modern era, so far) of the topic. In the interest of full disclosure, I've been a contributor, though not for a while. ww 20:40, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There has been a huge effort to bring this page upto wikipedia standards, and the activity has settled down. With many individuals and a complex issue, the spirit of wikipedia came alive to correct this article and allow it to meet wikipedia standards. (14 April 2006)
*Object - Almost no references whatsoever, and the first paragraph is a grammar train wreck. "Mormons just as Jews, consider themselves to be full and entitled members of The House of Israel, and God's covenant with Israel. A claim not well accepted in the Jewish Community." is a terribly written sentence. Dee man45 22:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support. The article is definitely too large. My personal concerns are with things that are not so much documentation of beliefs as much as "proofs" or apologetics (the date correllations between events in Mormonism and the Jewish calender comes first to mind, mostly because, if you consider the day before the day before the new moon to be a Jewish holiday, than there are about 150 of them). I'm also concerned about references that are not primary sources for this article, but instead were sources for a referenced article. You could be compounding and passing on a mistaken understanding. As for grammar, I've fixed some in the past, and can find time this week to take another look. FiveRings 20:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I nominated England because it is the most popular, influental and successful home nation in the United Kingdom. It accounts for 83% of the total UK population. I think England deserves to be a featured article because the English culture has been influental on the cultures of the British Isles and, on the other hand, given the extent to which other cultures have influenced life in England. It has also been spread over large parts of the globe due to the British Empire.
