Good article. Well sourced and very informative. --GoOdCoNtEnT 06:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question Three articles in FAC at once, Goodcontent? Following an FAC requires rigorous and diligent work: do you really want 3 going at once? Sandy 12:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I like it Could do with a dramatic picture illustrating the island being submerged, but this would be a good FA. Michael Billington (talkcontribs) 12:56, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes needs new picture, but besides that, it's great! Also per above. WikieZach| talk 20:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Commment I detest these quotes with the big blue marks, the quote marks are more dominating thant the quote itself.Rlevse 14:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object; poor referencing. The first level two section needs inline citations, especially where there are quotes. In one place, an entire sentence is lifted from somewhere and not incorporated into sentence in the article. Also needs a serious copyedit: things like "dialog" should have been picked up by now. And yes, the quotes are a little much. --Spangineeres (háblame) 16:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not place more than one nomination at a time — this makes it difficult to do each article and its objections justice. Zzzzz 16:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: There's a translation of the featured German article in progress (User:Athenaios and me are doing it). In my mind the article is pretty much incomplete right now. --Bender235 16:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object. In addition to all of the above (especially the fact the article isn't stable judging by the translation effort), a two-sentence section (Atlantis in fiction) shouldn't be in a featured article, especially if the topic of the section has pages of content itself. Also, the article to be checked for NPOV - for example, a sentence like "More plausibly, the highly respected Plato scholar" can't be in the article. Jeronimo 21:20, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
