Rongorongo

previous FAC (22:01, 22 January 2008)

Self nomination. I had nominated this article prematurely. It has now gone through peer review, and several editors (including the other principal contributor to the article) have suggested it may now be ready for FA. —kwami (talk) 01:50, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

http://www.rongorongo.org/corpus/drawings.html deadlinks for me. Same for http://catarina.ai.uiuc.edu/LSA07/rongorongo.html

Other links check out fine. I do note that large sections of the article are lacking inline citations, at least to page numbers of the various sources. Ealdgyth - Talk 02:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can Wayback the first link. I don't know what happened to the other; it was up a week ago. — kwami (talk) 05:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, got a Google cache. No images, but they're not as important as the text. — kwami (talk) 06:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Per criteria 2c and 4. Would've failed GAN on 1b of GA criteria too. Ncmvocalist (talk) 07:47, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As for (2c), I ran this by WP:CITE, and was told that the article is "well within accepted practice" for a FA.[1] As for (4), I've brought this up with my last additions and was told it'd be "a crying shame" to trim them down.[2] And what part of GA 1b? — kwami (talk) 08:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Without specific examples of where this article fails WP:WIAFA so that the nominator can fix them, this is not an actionable oppose. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
