I am nominating this featured article for review because the lead is too short and omits discussion of sections in the body, and because

  • "The center was a part of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), a United States federal agency founded to promote aeronautical research. Cooperative students at NACA took part in a program that combined work and study, providing a way for them to fund their college degrees while gaining experience in aeronautics." - not in source

  • "It was during these years that Lunney became the protege of flight director Chris Kraft, a relationship that would last some twenty years" - I don't think we can say the relationship lasted 20 years using that particular sources, as it is from 1968 which is early in the 20-year period

  • " this was his first experience with uncrewed spacecraft" - I thought he'd worked with the uncrewed Gemini 2?
    I noticed this one when I added the bit about Gemini 2. It needs re-wording somehow. The idea was that Gemini was a crewed spacecraft even though Gemini 2 was an uncrewed mission. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:57, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I have done a pass through the article. Fixing referencing problems. Dealt with dead references and some marked incorrectly as dead. Incorporated material from the obits into the article. Added a couple of images. Responded to issues presented. Suggest closing. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:31, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partners in Crime (Doctor Who)

Notified: Sceptre, WikiProject Doctor Who, WikiProject BBC, WikiProject Television, 2023-01-06

I am nominating this featured article for review because I was considering nominating this article for

TFA in April, to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the episode's airing, but I do not think it's ready for the main page nor do I have the background knowledge to fix it. One concern is sourcing: most reviews of the episode are from its airing in 2008 and do not include retrospective perspectives and information on its reception relative to other Doctor Who episodes. Other concerns include a "Donna's mime" section which I think should be removed (it was added after the article's FAC) and the "Critical reception" section falls into the X says Y trap. I'm hoping this FAR will inspire editors to fix up this article before a TFA run. Z1720 (talk) 16:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply
]

I've taken a quick look and fixed a few blatent errors. I think the lede needs a bit tightening up and the reception also needs the modern cites that have been found, and also a bit of a c/e to make it flow like a traditional reception section. Otherwise seems pretty decent. Don't think it's a long way off. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:54, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Paging User:Sceptre, whose original FA candidate this was back in 2008. SN54129 17:05, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the sake of finally getting this resolved, I've incorporated material from one of the two sources listed on the article talk page. @Z1720 and Lee Vilenski: - if this is good enough handling of the material, I'll try to work in the other one after my work trip this week. I'm unconvinced that adding rankings from "Best of" listicles (as alluded to above) is necessarily best practice, and I honestly think this one is very close to the standard. Hog Farm Talk 16:44, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm happy enough. Probably needs a bit of general cleanup, but that's true of all FAs. I don't have an issue with this being closed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've been meaning to get to this, but frankly have not had the desire to tackle this. If others are happy with this, I'm find to close as keep. Z1720 (talk) 02:59, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've added the Tor source as well, although I found it not very useful. I think we're at close without FARC here; the two more recent sources have been added, and the unsourced section has been axed. Hog Farm Talk 02:39, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lung cancer

Important article, not kept updated sufficiently, long list of concerns on the talk page not yet resolved. No medical articles at FAR currently so I'm nominating this. (t · c) buidhe 06:11, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd like to, but there's lots of updating to be done. Give me a couple weeks to plug away at it, and we'll see how far I get? Ajpolino (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ajpolino is making good progress; we can probably "call in the troops" for further improvements whenever he is ready. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:34, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Improvements continuing, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:54, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, I'm feeling optimistic this article can be thoroughly updated without too much pain and suffering. Just a note, starting Tuesday I'll be traveling for two weeks and will have limited (or perhaps no) editing time/access. I'm hoping I can wrap this up with another week or two of editing. So if I could get a month extension on this, that would be much appreciated. Thanks all! Ajpolino (talk) 17:25, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ajpolino, how are things going here? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:18, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Just a few major to-do items left. I'd say the article is ~90% overhauled/updated. I've saved the most time-consuming research dives for last, so this last 10% is slow-going. My apologies to the FAR watchers for the slow progress. We're near the "end" here. Ajpolino (talk) 17:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Better a gradual save than a quick delist (t · c) buidhe 02:32, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Ajpolino? Nikkimaria (talk) 22:13, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    First draft nearly complete! I just have two paragraphs at the end of the History section I want to look into separately. Also I haven't touched the images yet. At this point it would be a great help to get some feedback from anyone who has time to give the article a read. I'll ping a couple of medicine-experienced editors at the talk page, but if any non-medicine folks would be willing to read the article and give comments, that would be a huge help. Obviously, non-scientists are more the target audience.
    Thanks all again for your patience. I may have taken
    WP:NODEADLINE a bit too much to heart here. But I hope you find the article improved for the wait. Ajpolino (talk) 00:31, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply

I'll try to take a look this week - it's nice to see medical content saved at FAR, since there's a dearth of medical FAs. Hog Farm Talk 01:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The rest of the FA-med team has weighed in (meaning Colin, Graham Beards and Spicy), and the article is decidedly ready for some layfolk to read through; the end is near! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:00, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made it through the symptoms and diagnosis sections without seeing any major issues; will try to chip away at this during the rest of the week. Hog Farm Talk 02:18, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • (from the prognosis section) "Tumor mutations in KRAS are associated with reduced survival" - unclear to the layman was KRAS is, recommend linking or glossing
  • "Despite high levels of gross research funding, lung cancer ranks in the bottom third of cancer types by NCI research funding per death, per diagnosis, and per potential years of life lost" - source is from 2012. Is this still particularly accurate?

That's all from me. Hog Farm Talk 20:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time and comments Hog Farm. Linked KRAS. For the funding issue, I can't find a more recent secondary source that covers the topic. If I rip the numbers off the National Institute of Health's funding by disease area page and divide the funding column by the death column it appears to still be true. I've rewritten the sentence to be sourced relatively cleanly from the table (though a division is left to the reader to verify). Do folks think that's ok? I don't think I've sourced something that requires a calculation at home before. Ajpolino (talk) 14:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Should be fine per
WP:CALC. IMO this one is good to close w/o FARC. Hog Farm Talk 19:29, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply

Gog the Mild you had hopes a few years back of scheduling this for TFA, but I thought it not in shape then; maybe you want to have a look at the revamping by Ajpolino (close to finishing up) ? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:23, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Update - I think I've caught up to folks' comments/suggestions (though if I missed something, please feel free to point me to it). If anyone else was waiting for the dust to settle before weighing in, the article is ready for you. Have at it. Thanks again all for the comments. Ajpolino (talk) 15:44, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I read it and couldn't find anything wrong with the prose. So I'd also support close without FARC. (t · c) buidhe 16:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But I'm a Cheerleader

Notified: Belovedfreak, WikiProject Film, WikiProject LGBT studies, WikiProject Comedy, WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia, 2022-12-05

Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because there are uncited sections, the lede is quite short, and various references are missing information (like author name). The "Critical response" section also suffers from frequent "X said Y" formatting. Z1720 (talk) 02:05, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a decent start-class article that has been written by a fan. If you fixed it up a bit, it would qualify for B class. Come on,
content mills, but they should be moved to the reception, taken out of the lead, and attributed. Like: "The film was ranked as one of the best by X, Y, and Z". Also, the fact that a critical reassessment happened seems to be original research. If a couple sources write retrospective reviews and include it in their listicles, that's fine, but that's not a critical reassessment. A critical reassessment happens when Variety or The New York Times says "the film was reassessed". NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply

Review section

I am nominating this featured article for review because there are multiple instances of statements without citations, short paragraphs that can be merged or reformatted, and references listed that are not used as inline citations. A secondary matter might be searching for academic literature that has been published since the article's original FAC and using them as sources. Z1720 (talk) 15:54, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on a background section to replace the one that was
denied. It doesn't seem like any significant sources were published in the last few years. As far as De Rosa (2021) is concerned Garber (2000) and Goldgar (2007) are still the most comprehensive and important treatises on the subject. He also mentions Thompson (2007) while he conveniently ignores French. I think the article needs to include French (which it does) as a dissenting voice to achieve balance. Regards. Draken Bowser (talk) 18:46, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply
]

Doubt that significant academic literature has been published since the article's original FAC, unless the nominator is holding back for some reason. I'm not seening "multiple instances of statements without citations", and " short paragraphs that can be merged or reformatted, and references listed that are not used as inline citations" as very light-weight SOFIX stuff. Geez, an editor that supported an article back in the day could almost feel as being guilt tripped via frivolous clock them up noms. Ceoil (talk) 09:12, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added some cn tags to places where I think citations are needed. Some of the short paragraphs I think need to be reformatted are the paragraphs that begin with "In the Northern Hemisphere, tulips bloom in April and May for about one week." "Tulip mania reached its peak during the winter of 1636–37," and "The popularity of Mackay's tale has continued to this day..." While I do not know if significant literature has been published, I haven't done a search for it because I am not an expert in this field and so some of the sources I find might not be useful for the article. I am happy to do a search of various databases I have access to (
WP:LIBRARY, Google Scholar, NYT, and others through my local library system) if someone is willing to evaluate and add information if applicable. Z1720 (talk) 13:40, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply

I'd just like to state for the record that I see nothing dubious about this FAR-nomination. The article has issues, even in the lede. Draken Bowser (talk) 15:09, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As for the paragraph with the cn-tag under "legal changes", beginning with: "Before this parliamentary decree, the purchaser of a tulip contract—known in modern finance as a forward contract—was legally obliged to buy the bulbs." this does not seem to be true. As stated in Dash (1999) and Garber (2000, p. 34) several laws limiting and banning futures trading had been passed in the preceding decades. The legal status of these contracts should have been at best unsettled. Can we strike this section? Draken Bowser (talk) 15:09, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draken Bowser, are you still intending to work on this? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I've been on a short wiki-break, but I intend to. One or two footnotes in my draft failed verification, so I'm re-reading the other sources to discover the basis for these statements. Draken Bowser (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Draken Bowser, noting you haven't been active lately, are you still working here or should we proceed to FARC? Nikkimaria (talk) 15:17, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC, progress stalled for over a month. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:28, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC citations are inconsistent in formatting; book citations don't use {{cite book}} even when {{sfn}} is otherwise used, and even the latter is inconsistently used in the lead alone. There are also some content issues; all of the modern interpretations of the mania depicted in the article appear to suggest that it was in fact rational, either due to market forces or the legal changes per Thompson. However, the lead says that "It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history", saying that "Some modern economists have proposed rational explanations" (emphasis added) and only at the end conceding that "Although Mackay's book is a classic, his account is contested. Many modern scholars believe that the mania was not as destructive as he described." From the article alone (I have not looked deeper into sources myself), it would seem to me that the "rational" interpretations are the current modern consensus (with the possible exception of Thompson, who still explains it with legal changes rather than a true mania), to an extent discrediting Mackay. If that is indeed the case, the lead ought to be rewritten accordingly, and if it isn't then more modern interpretations need to be added. Also, the "available price data" seems a bit short and misplaced to me, and there are a few cn tags, but those are not fatal. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 01:57, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to FARC per concerns highlighted by Wolfson above. I would like the sources listed in Further reading to be incorporated into the article body, but there haven't been major edits since March. Z1720 (talk) 03:46, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
