Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/El Lissitzky

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Self-nomination. No offense to anyone present, but one area where Wikipedia is really hurting is in art. I've been noticing this for a while and, after seeing the rather homely article on Lissitzky that Wikipedia was cruely exposing to the world, I took it upon myself to make it as good as possible. I'm still not sure its FA-grade but, after sumbitting it to peer review (ignore the comments about you guys being scary; they made me say it) and expanding it greatly, I thought I'd, with the encouragement of other higher-ups, give it a shot.--Clngre 22:33, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

  • Tentatively support. Really nice article. I haven't vetted it against the formal FA criteria, I just think it is a very good article, and if people deem it to fall short, we should fix the few problems there may be. I raised a few small issues on its talk page that I'd like to see addressed. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:20, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. The points on the talk page need to be dealt with, of course, but shouldn't be a serious impediment. --Michael Snow 00:02, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Minor object. Nice article. However, I have problem with the two-line "Works" section. This is not a proper section and it needs to be expanded or merged. 212.61.72.85 07:26, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • You're right, I agree. Check it out now though, I added a table. I'm not sure if it appropriate or if it works, so let me know if it's alright. --Clngre 15:20, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Refreshing. Phils 10:55, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Please, remove the article from Peer review. -- Shauri 15:56, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. I agree we need more art articles. --Mattwj2002 04:34, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Nice work on the children's books section - I'll try to find quotes re: his influence. Warofdreams 14:00, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. This is as good an entry on an artist as any I've seen on Wikipedia. -- Rbellin|Talk 02:24, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
