Fitzpatrick's War removed from Wikipedia:Good articles

[edit]

Fitzpatrick's War (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) was formerly listed as a good article, but was removed from the listing because :No references are stated, a requirement of GA. AndyZ 15:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no specific axe to grind (except that I now want to read the book). But I find this a bit peculiar - surely, as a work of fiction, the book is its own reference? The only other thing I can think of is that the author of the piece needs to prove that the book really exists, I guess. Tarquin Binary 16:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Usually they consider reviews and references to the book elsewhere as potential good sources. Look especially for reviews in mainstream and print publications such as TIME, Entertainment Weekly, etc. A minimum of three sources (i.e. more than just the book itself) is usually required to maintain GA status IIRC. A critical reception section would be a welcome addition to an article like this, for one. 68.202.85.105 (talk) 04:43, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Failed GA

[edit]

I found this old GA nomination, which was not listed on the candidates page. I am updating the tag as a failure because of the lack of cited sources. Chubbles 23:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New Map Needed

[edit]

The current maps have a lot of mistake, beginning with the first one. First several South American nations are missing (Peru, Venezuela, Guyana). Second the Carribean Confederacy was never Yukon ally state even though they signed the Four Points immediately. Third the book mentions the Yukon control the Falklands. Fourth, the Turkish empire didn't control that much of North Africa at the beginning of the book, so their southern border needs to be moved up. Finally there is no mention of the southern African state that sided with the Yukon during the Four Points War. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 19:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
