Nominees
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
- Nomination: January was the time when I first nominated the article and it has been great then as many people edited then. It filled up the Recent Changes list with help by Danny and some other users. It looks great right now with lots of information, sections and images. Webkinz Mania 22:33, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose: This article is still a work in progress. There are several years left blank, one redlink and a mismatch of references creating an unbalance. —Scott (talk) 05:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: For the record, how often an article was edited, how many users edited it, or filling up Recent Changes aren't signs of a Quality Article. The full criteria is here and includes comprehensiveness. Something like "Monsterpiece Theater" may still have an omission, but it includes every known sketch and ekas for the majority, and the same for Sesame Street News Flash, and both are also well-organized and readable. This is why I encouraged you to nominate other articles, Ellis. It could still become a Quality Article at some point, but it needs a lot of work and probably more research (which may or may not be available). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm not sure why you guys think it's so incomplete. The four main sections are very detailed, and have lots of references. The "Muppet Appearances" list is only missing one year. The only thing that really looks "incomplete" is the list of characters on the Sesame float; that's more of a nerdy, completist thing, so I moved it to the bottom of the article. I'm not sure what Scott means about the references being unbalanced. -- Danny

The Letter of the Day
- Nomination: This article is great with lots of info about The Letter of the Day sketches from Season 33-39. It looks great right now. Webkinz Mania 22:35, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Support: I agree, this page is worthy. --Minor muppetz 02:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Support: Article appears complete with a sufficient lead-in and descriptions. —Scott (talk) 05:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)- Comment: I'm on the fence. It actually only has skits from three seasons. Nothing for Seasons 34, 36, and 37 (according to the article, it seems like 37 was the last to feature it on a daily basis, but implies season 38 my have had a few new segments), unless we know for a fact that all of those used repeats. Right now, Letter of the Day Games is also a separate page, but the title is fanmade just to cover some Letter of the Day segments that use a game show format (and which seems to account for most of the season 36 blanks). I think that could be merged (though the writing there is shakier). The lead-in is good, though, and the top image amusing. Some of this may be longterm, but some may also be fixable. It may take awhile to fully cover every season, but right now, three wholly unaccounted for (and possible omissions on others) strikes me as a sign of a promising article that's not yet reached fruition. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 00:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: When I looked the page over, I didn't realize so many sketches were missing. If that's true, I rescind my supporting vote until such a time as those gaps can be filled. —Scott (talk) 00:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Comment: I thought the same thing as Andrew, that several seasons were missing. But is it possible that no new Letter of the Day segments were shot for those seasons? The article is unclear on this matter, but that should be clarified before this can become a Quality Article. -- Peter (talk) 02:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Procedure
Nominations
- Check the quality article criteria and ensure that the article meets all of them before nominating.
- Place ===[[name of nominated article]]=== under the nomination heading here.
- Below this title, write your reason for nominating the article and sign with ~~~~.
Casting votes
- To support a nomination, write *'''Support:''' followed by your reasons.
- To oppose a nomination, write *'''Oppose:''' followed by your reasons.
- To comment on a nomination without voting, write *'''Comment:''' followed by your comment.
- Your vote can be changed at any time. If you change your vote, don't delete the old vote -- that comment is an important part of the discussion. Instead, put a line through the old vote by adding <strike> and </strike> around the previous comment.
Awarding Quality status
- A decision is made two weeks from the day that an article is nominated.
- An article with at least 3 supporting votes (not counting the nomination) and no opposing votes gets Quality status.
- An article with 2 supporting votes remains on the list for another week. If the article doesn't earn 3 supporting votes by the end of three weeks, it's removed from the nomination slate.
- An article with 0-1 supporting votes after two weeks is removed from the nomination slate.
- One opposing vote can "veto" a nomination. There are two ways to deal with an opposing vote. If the article is improved enough to satisfy the person who cast the opposing vote, then it can be removed. If the opposing vote is based on unrealistic or unreasonable criteria, then three supporters can vote to "overturn" the veto. An article with an opposing vote can't be given Quality status until one of those conditions is met.
