Parapsychology

This article has recently became a Good article and in my opinion it fits the criteria of a Featured Article. The article is very well written and is engaging, The article covers the topic of parapsychology very well and neutrally without negating any facts or failing to mention specific topics within parapsychology, the article is sourced by reliable citations throughout, I along with a few others recently spent the past few weeks rewriting the article and it is neutral and stable. All in all a great article. I would appreciate constructive criticism that I or others can use to improve the article to FA criteria if you feel it isn't already currently. Please take the time to add a review to help us improve this article. Thanks. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 21:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Support While imo the article firmly meets all the other criteria, I feel that it is not quite stable enough for FA status. A few significant changes are still being made on a daily basis. I think we need to give it some time to settle after all the work that has gone on. VanTucky ^(talk) 22:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Support I'd love to see this article reach featured status, but I don't think it's there yet. It's still very, I don't know how else to describe it, heavy. I think the text can be slimmed up without losing any important details and things that take a lot of words to say can be said with a lot less. I think all of the content is there for a featured article, but I think it can use some style improvement. I would definitely like to see some constructive criticism from those involved in previous FA articles as well. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 01:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment I disagree about the "heaviness" of the article. If you check out other featured articles, it could be more detailed, not less. VanTucky ^(talk) 18:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment By heavy I don't mean less detail. I mean the amount of words used to illustrate a single detail. --Nealparr ^{(talk to me)} 13:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose The article is still actively being edited, and a couple of sections of it are incomplete. I would probably support FA nomination in the near future, but right now it is premature. This draft is too new and the article still needs time to stablize. --Annalisa Ventola _{(Talk | Contribs)} 18:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - Shouldn't we run this through peer review first? Also, I think we should strive to get people who were not involved in the creation of this article to evaluate whether or not the article deserves featured status. Right now, all of the votes are from the "inside". Antelan ^talk 11:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

*Oppose per above. Looks good, though. --Kaypoh 10:08, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Kaypoh, FA nominations aren't a "me too" vote type of thing. If you're going to oppose then you need to offer some novel criticism supporting your opposition. Right now the article actually is very stable. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 11:23, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

If it's very stable now, I strike my oppose. If I find any problems with the article, I will un-strike it. Sorry, I'm a little new to this. The article needs a PR, though. --Kaypoh 14:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
