StarCraft (series) | StarCraft · StarCraft: Brood War · StarCraft: Ghost · StarCraft II |
Alrightly, StarCraft series just passed its GAN, so now seems like a good time to go for this new-fangled good topic thingy. StarCraft II, as it is unreleased and hence unstable, cannot currently pass GA, but it has been peer reviewed here. We've got this image available for the topic box's picture. -- Sabre (talk) 19:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Co-nom Also this should be StarCraft titles per the previous video game topics. Gary King (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support - Great to see another video game topic here! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:07, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- Comment - I think more information from Insurrection and Retribution could be added, such as information from the first paragraph of the Overview in Insurrection - rst20xx (talk) 22:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- There's not really anything further to add on Retribution and Insurrection that is compliant with reliable, secondary sources. What's in the StarCraft series article is all I could save. Believe me, I'd ideally like to have independent articles for them, but WP:V and WP:N prevent that as the sources just aren't available. Besides, the jist of the information in the overview paragraph of Insurrection is already there. In fact, looking through it, the only bit of information in the old articles that could be used is the fact that the two add-ons had full voice acting. -- Sabre (talk) 22:48, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- "Insurrection includes three new campaigns, comprising around 30 missions and over 100 new multiplayer maps. It was made using the standard Campaign Editor included with StarCraft and as such is unable to add new music, tilesets, cinematics or units like the complete expansion pack StarCraft: Brood War. However, it does include new heroes, factions and trigger sounds for briefings and key events within the campaigns." All of this sounds like important information to me, but none of it is in the StarCraft (series) article - rst20xx (talk) 13:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Again, all of which is covered in respect to the coverage's notability in the main article. Half of that was original research: I should know, I probably wrote it a few years back. I'm sorry, I really don't see the need to double the length of the paragraph to add some statistics that are already summarised and don't have the sources available to verify it. -- Sabre (talk) 23:05, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
OpposeSorry, I don't agree. I'm amazed that you claim you cannot even source the number of missions/multiplayer maps in a Starcraft expansion pack. Quick Google throws up a GameSpot review saying there are "30 missions along with over a hundred multiplayer maps" - so there's the source for that bit of information right there. And that took me all of about 2 seconds to find - rst20xx (talk) 10:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)- And it's not like you even have a source for the number of missions in Starcraft either - rst20xx (talk) 10:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- You will find that that GameSpot review, which is already used in the article, is most likely the only reliable source covering Insurrection out there. Insurrection and Retribution received very little press and fan coverage, they are not even close to Brood War in terms of profile and notability. -- Sabre (talk) 22:45, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well OK then, you can at least still incorporate in the info from the GameSpot article! rst20xx (talk) 23:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've added the bit on the number of levels, and the bit saying "it does not include new content such as units and graphical terrain tilesets" is basically the same as saying "is unable to add new music, tilesets, cinematics or units". The bit on being constructed in the Campaign Editor (and by extension the bits on new heroes and trigger sounds) is straight original research by me a few years back from going through the levels in the Campaign Editor and seeing how they were made (I hadn't quite grasped the OR policy back then), I can't verify it no matter how true it might be. -- Sabre (talk) 09:02, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

- Support All of the articles are well written, and were it not for the volatility the StarCraft II article will experience when the game is released, it too would easily be a GA. - Yohhans talk 17:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support Reviewing StarCraft (series) was one of the more pleasurable moments of my life, finally something that wouldn't take more than 5 hours, as it was already too good. ;-) Good job, and I hope this passes. Pie is good (Apple is the best) 21:53, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- Tiny comment In StarCraft, don't superscript the th in 26th per bullet 5(not sub-bullets) of WP:SEASON Pie is good (Apple is the best) 02:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
- Oppose Based on the logic used in my Millennium Park GTC above it seems to me that StarCraft II article is a possible GA and should be required to prove otherwise. Is there something at Wikipedia:Peer review/StarCraft II/archive1 to indicate that this can not be a WP:GA. I don't think unreleased = unstable. I have created WP:GAs for three buildings under construction. See Trump International Hotel and Tower (Chicago). See also Barack Obama, John McCain, etc. Even politicians with rapidly changing positions in life, can pass. Unstable means content dispute related instability. If the article is complete it is eligible for GA.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- <discussion moved to talk page>
- Comment I believe this issue applies to most of the current accepted game topics: the main series article really needs to explain the etymology of the name. Even it this topic, I believe that it is important for a reader to have that information available. Nergaal (talk) 22:52, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Dean
I am nominating this topic for featured article status. The topic has been a labor of love, and I am very proud of what it has become. I look forward to your comments. Plasticup T/C 02:17, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support Clearly meets the criteria. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Great job Plasticup. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:22, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support, primarily because the lead article is an FA. The other ones don't need much to get a fully featured topic. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 02:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support non-controversial. Zginder 2008-09-30T03:01Z (UTC)
- A few comments - firstly, can we get a navigational template for these articles? Secondly, it would look more uniform for the Effects of Hurricane Dean in the Greater Antilles article to have an {{Infobox Hurricane Impact}} template. Finally, I appreciate there were no deaths, but $97 million is a lot of money - can you briefly justify why the effects in Belize aren't notable enough to have their own article? I appreciate such an article would be difficult to source, but that doesn't mean it's not notable enough to exist - rst20xx (talk) 13:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps if it is not notable enough for its own article, the destruction in Belize could be mentioned in the main article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- There is a two paragraph section on Belize in the main article. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:07, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- The dollar figure for damage in Belize is much lower than the other sub-articles, and even then the damages weren't as "interesting", if you know what I mean. It was just crop damage. No deaths, few injuries, and minimal residential damage. I tried to write an article on it, but there is just nothing to write about. The two paragraphs that you see in the Impact section are all there is to say. Plasticup T/C 22:19, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps if it is not notable enough for its own article, the destruction in Belize could be mentioned in the main article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- I am not wild about the idea of a navigation template, but if you can convince me that it adds something to the articles then I'll add it. I imagine that it would look something like this:
History
Impact
Other wikis
- Plasticup T/C 00:36, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- It could look more like this, and then be placed at the bottom of the pages. It facilitates moving between the articles, especially moving from subarticle to subarticle - rst20xx (talk) 00:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- In fact I'll write it myself - gimme 5 mins - rst20xx (talk) 00:41, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- That's actually quite nice. I'd love for you to make one. Thanks. Plasticup T/C 00:47, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- There, I have written it and added it to the articles. See {{Deanseries}}. Now I shall vote - rst20xx (talk) 00:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Ahh crap, I missed out on that last part and added another copy up at the top. Hmm. The {{Deanseries}} at the very bottom *below* the references doesn't seem too useful (though I know it's standard). Links up by the lede are better IMO. But is there a policy on this? — jdorje (talk) 22:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

- Neutral - the damage may be less than other articles here, but it's more than some in the Hurricane Isabel topic, for example Delaware, which saw no deaths and $40 million damage, and yet has a featured article written about it. However, I believe you when you say that the damage in Belize was all crop damage and the like, and hence I shall vote neutral, not oppose - rst20xx (talk) 00:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not trying to badger you, but I'd just like to point out that the United States has more coverage of tropical cyclones than other countries do. Hence the Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Delaware article and a lack of Effects of Hurricane Dean in Belize. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Notice, Julian, that I voted neutral, not oppose, so please don't badger me! And the fact that information is harder to find does not effect whether an article merits creation or not - it is whether enough information exists at all, in any language that decides this - rst20xx (talk) 01:04, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- It is a problem that more information on Belize can't be added without worsening the main article. — jdorje (talk) 21:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Hence the Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Delaware article and a lack of Effects of Hurricane Dean in Belize. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- If there was more available I could certainly split it into a sub-article without affecting the main article, but take a look at Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Delaware for a minute. You don't get this sort of damage reporting in third world countries: "powerful winds blew out the watchroom window. A group of eight volunteers quickly repaired the damage". No one writes about one broken window in Belize. Plasticup T/C 21:29, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- I understand that and do agree it doesn't justify a separate article. Would Effects of Hurricane Dean in Mexico and Belize or Effects of Hurricane Dean in Central America be possible though? — jdorje (talk) 21:54, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Lumping Mexico with Belize is not a natural combination, so I'd object to that. Lumping Mexico in Central America to incorporate a Belize article would be a violation of WP:NPOV (see Americas (terminology)), so I'd oppose that even more strongly. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 22:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Furthermore, I don't see the need. There is nothing more to say on the issue of Hurricane Dean in Belize, and what we have right now is easily contained within the main article. What would be the benefit of moving it into a sub-article? Plasticup T/C 22:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- The benefit is limited. If, however, someone DID want to expand that section (if it became possible), you'd have to tell them not to unless they could make a full article out of it. If there were already an article it could fit into, then it could be expanded if information became available. Weren't there any effects or preparations in the rest of central america? That seems strange, even for a fairly small storm like Dean! — jdorje (talk) 22:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Comment on my own nom. I really don't like the {{Dean links}} template that has been added to the lead. Not only is it a violation of WP:ACCESS, it is also ugly and redundant since the {{Deanseries}} template has already been included. Can I strip it out? Plasticup T/C 22:15, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Guess I should read WP:ACCESS. Indeed, I didn't even see the links at the bottom - I do feel however that having links near the top would be good... — jdorje (talk) 22:19, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Can we find a more attractive way to do it? Plasticup T/C 22:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hurricane Isabel actually uses two templates, with the equivalent of {{Deanseries}} at the bottom of every article, but also {{HurricaneIsabel}} at the top of all the articles aside from Hurricane Isabel itself (the theory being I guess that all the subarticles are linked at appropriate places in the text of the main article). We could change {{Dean links}} to look like {{HurricaneIsabel}}, though obviously the resultant template can't appear at the very top, because unlike the Hurricane Isabel subarticles, the Hurricane Dean subarticles have {{Infobox Hurricane History}} on them. So maybe this new template could appear just below {{Infobox Hurricane History}}, on all articles apart from Hurricane Dean? rst20xx (talk) 01:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- I changed it some to match the (much larger) one used by Hurricane Katrina, which is somewhat similar to the Isabel one. We should probably pick a standard for formatting it and use that throughout all hurricane topics... — jdorje (talk) 01:14, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Can we please discuss changes here before implementing them in all five articles? Plasticup T/C 01:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- For starters, I think that the Katrina infobox is hideous. The only reason it exists is because the Katrina topic cannot be navigated without a guide. This series is much smaller, and links to all of the sub-articles are prominently displayed in the text. Furthermore this box, in Meteorological history of Hurricane Dean, creates an unavoidable text squeeze in the first section. Plasticup T/C 02:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- We could model it after the Isabel one instead but it's not much different. I don't see why one topic (Isabel) would be given a navbox while the other isn't. Though perhaps the navbox text could be worked into the bottom of the infobox? As for meteohistory, the high ratio of graphics to text there is a problem. I moved some images around but perhaps it could be done better. — jdorje (talk) 04:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- "Isabel does it" is not a satisfying argument. Why does this series need another navigation template, and is that box worth sacrificing aesthetics or the current infobox? There are only five articles here, all clearly linked from the main article, and all sharing a common navigation template. Plasticup T/C 04:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- It should only have one nav template, somewhere near the top where it can be found, and it should be consistent with the other nav template designs used within the wikiproject. See WP:NAV. Also, I was thinking it could maybe be stuck inside the infobox the way season articles do - like this as an quick design example. — jdorje (talk) 05:05, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Now that looks good! The code makes my head explode, but I really like having it all condensed into one box. Yes, that is great. Plasticup T/C 05:19, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- I would suggest that instead of putting all that code on the pages itself, you create a new template that's an adaption of {{Infobox Hurricane History}} but with the extra stuff at the bottom - rst20xx (talk) 16:03, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed; I was thinking of creating {{Infobox Hurricane Series}}. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes of course it should go into the infobox :). I just did a subst: and glued it together by hand for a demo. IMO it should go into the main infobox which already has provisions for what the various series articles need. — jdorje (talk) 17:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Update on the navbox situtation - jdorje has graciously incorporated a navigation template into the existing hurricane templates. I love it, and presumably he does too. As this change allows the same navigation to be implemented for all hurricane series, the discussion is moving to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones#Topic_navboxes, but input from Featured Topic experts is welcome there too.

This is the third album of Usher and its five released singles. The album was successfullu as its singles. All are in good status. Thank you. --Efe (talk) 10:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Oppose- impressive work to be sure, but while looking into this nom I came across Ride (song). While the song was never on the album (or never officially released for that matter!), I still feel that as it is related to the album, it should be included in the topic, or else the topic is not comprehensive. Having said that, it seems to me that this song is probably not notable to have its own article, in which case you can get the article AfDed. But until the status of this article is resolved, I feel I must oppose - rst20xx (talk) 15:37, 23 October 2008 (UTC)- I solely worked on this series and nothing in the sources this song was mentioned. It was only a leaked track and I feel it will be AfDed. --Efe (talk) 06:11, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
- There are no reliable sources so, if this get deleted, its hard to mention it in the article. Also, because of no significance, it would look like a trivia. --Efe (talk) 07:51, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

- Support While I think it would be perfectly fine if Ride (song) were included in the topic, I don't think it is required for the topic to be complete. On a broader note, I think this is a bad road we have started going down, killing off perfectly good articles so they won't have to be included in a topic.

ConditionalSupport - I don't understand why these use AmE dates. There is a strong national tie and should use BrE date per MoS especially as that this is what the original contributor used [1][2][3][4]. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)- I think its fine since its all consistent throughout. --Efe (talk) 13:10, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
- You make a good point, but this isn't really the place to have that debate and it shouldn't stop the topic from being promoted. Rreagan007 (talk) 14:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Last nomination was halted due to "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination.". Well, I nominated all four articles to GA, and after all but Curse of the Black Pearl were put on hold, I did all the work needed to pass in three of them. So, can this be a Good Topic now? igordebraga ≠ 14:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Support I do not even consider that a rule. It is not one of the criteria and therefore is not actionable, it is rather a way to prevent articles that are worthy from being promoted if the contributors do not like FT's/GT's. Zginder 2008-10-12T17:28Z (UTC)
- Support - I agree, it is a purely obstructive idea, and should be opposed if used again. Good job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 21:20, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Millennium Park
While Torsodog (talk · contribs) and I continue to pursue WP:FACs for several at the items in hopes of qualifying it for WP:FT, we bring it here to WP:GTC. Currently, both Chase Promenade and AT&T Plaza are at WP:PR. Neither has much notable subject matter to add.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:06, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Articles have to complete PRs before than can be considered audited for quality. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- The first WP:GTC I looked at was Slipknot discography and it seems to be considered eligible.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Should I withdraw this or hope for conditional support?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- Either way. Personally I think you should get those PRs done, but you might get conditional support. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 01:58, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
Opposeand as a comment, you're right, I hadn't even noticed the peer reviews for the articles to do with Slipknot weren't finished. I shall go and switch my vote to oppose for that one, too. And as a comment, I personally will oppose the inclusion of any -articles until they've been nominated for GA, and failed solely due to inherent shortness. i.e., I want a very literal demonstration that these articles cannot pass GA - rst20xx (talk) 13:19, 13 September 2008 (UTC)Oppose- You need to either get the two check marked articles to Good Article status or merge them, because they are not "unreleased items" or articles will a big potential for future growth. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:18, 13 September 2008 (UTC)- Comment We just split AT&T Plaza from Cloud Gate due to complaints at WP:FAC. I will post both at WP:GAC and see how they are received.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 16:21, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- WOW Chase Promenade just passed. I think it may be one of the shortest GAs.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 17:47, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I guess this should be considered On hold until the GACs/PRs have all finished, at which point the nom will effectively be able to start properly- rst20xx (talk) 01:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)- AT&T Plaza passed today.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 20:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support as GT now that all articles have passed GAC. To TonyTheTiger, don't worry, there are much shorter GAs, including New York State Route 164, one of my own. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Key visual novels
I am nominating this for a Good Topic as all of the articles are GA, except for the last one which underwent a peer review, and since the article is so short, I believe the quality concerns for Rewrite (visual novel) have been met per the criteria. The related category Category:Key games holds the seven game articles, and the Good Topic title is taken from this category. Unfortunately, a free-use image for use in the topic box (pending it's approval) is unavailable.--十八 05:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support - though maybe the topic should be called "Key visual novels" instead of "Key games"? The precedent set by the videogames topics is to use "titles" but I think this would be inappropriate here as Key has also made non-visual novel titles such as the animation, which are not included here - rst20xx (talk) 19:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Well, Key has participated in overseeing the animation and other adaptations of their titles, but if we're talking about products produced, then "Key titles" would work just as fine.--十八 03:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support — great work on all of these visual novel articles. Keep it up. sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:47, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support - No reason to keep it from being a good topic when all of the articles excluding Rewrite is a good article, though I'd suggest something else other than "Key games" be used instead. -- クラウド668 08:07, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- Comment please change the name of the topic to something less confusing, say "Games released by Key". Nergaal (talk) 20:12, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- Question I am totally confused, the topic is called Key games, which sounds like POV to begin with, then the lead article is about a company, that according to its first sentence makes visual novels. Are they visual novels or games? Second the main artilce talks about a lot of things that have nothing to do with the other artilces. Why is this topic compleate? Zginder 2008-09-22T20:48Z (UTC)
- A visual novel is a type of game. Reading the visual novel article might help :p sephiroth bcr (converse) 21:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
- While the main article also includes things like Key Sounds Label and Key Radio, it also covers all the pertinent information on the visual novels Key produces. The criteria states at point 2: The topic has an introductory and summary lead article or list which is exactly what Key (company) does.--十八 03:11, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support. While I'm a big proponent of having the lead article and the topic title being the same, this is a good example of where a topic works where the lead article and title of the topic are different. Rreagan007 (talk) 21:22, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Support. Had some concerns earlier about the topic title, but they've already been addressed. --erachima talk 03:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
