Nominator(s): mynameinc (t|c) 19:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because I feel that it addresses the subject completely and fully and meets the quality standards of a Featured Article. mynameinc (t|c) 19:43, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Has the primary contributor, Dana boomer, been consulted about this nomination? I don't see that you have any history in editing the article, and FAC doesn't typically take kind to drive-by noms. María (habla conmigo) 20:10, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was thinking the same thing. I know Dana has plans to bring this article here eventually, but think she will do so when she's ready. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 20:44, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There was a previous Peer Review, and all the points have been met, the best I can tell. I will withdraw, if that's better. Also, I thought the community would perceive 'drive-by noms' better, since it was by a third party who thinks it's ready, rather than a contributor. mynameinc (t|c) 20:51, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
