No disambiguation links. Not totally sure if the external links tool is working, but it doesn't seem to be showing any problems. Moisejp (talk) 17:43, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    All statements are attributed to reliable-looking sources. All of the sources are printed ones, which I do not have access to. However, in good faith, I presume the nominator has accurately used these sources and has not added original research.

New Section

This...THIS is what we've come to, eh? One state's stupid coin "has been identified as one of the best articles produced by the Wikipedia community" above the other articles ranked only "good" here by some subservient admins who defend a system founded upon complete nonsense? I was told before that Featured Articles are decided upon by a set standard, including "prose" and whatnot and not popularity. I'm sure Shakespeare himself would weep at this prose - Phone Charger (talk) 02:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Q. David Bowers

Q. David Bowers looks a lot like Warren Buffett, and it'd be cute to note that in his caption but I know Wikipedia belongs to the humorless so I'm leaving it out of the article and just noting it here.--A21sauce (talk) 12:58, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Got that shot at ANA a few years back. I didn't want to be obvious I was taking his picture ...--Wehwalt (talk) 14:00, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Half dollar"

Resolved

Is there a reason "Half dollar (United States coin)" appears in the "See also" section instead of within the article's prose? Figured I'd ask before changing a Featured article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:41, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I meant to incorporate it in to text in all the articles, guess I missed this one. Don't worry about featured or not, I would suggest.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:44, 9 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
