Archive of discussions from Muppet Wiki:Quality article nominations.

President of the United States

 * Nominate: A great example of a page that has evolved from a mixed bag of 'whateveritwas' to a thoroughly enjoyable read with good writing and research. — Scott ( talk ) 05:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 03:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support An absolutely wonderful article. -- SarahOnBway 04:36, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support --Cantus Rock 09:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Will Lee

 * Nominate -- Brad D. (talk ) 00:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 *  Support: Wonderfully comprehensive, great use of illustration. — Scott ( talk ) 19:54, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Amazingly thorough biography, well-sourced. -- Mary Catherine (talk ) 21:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Fantastic. I like that it has the word "ass". -- Danny (talk ) 15:17, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Episode 1839

 * Nomination: This is the episode about Mr. Hooper's death. Brad just did a big clean-up job on this page, adding references and making everything flow. There's probably still stuff that could be added or changed, but in my opinion it's reached Quality level. Any changes that are made at this point will be refinements to an excellent article, which goes beyond the usual episode summary to discuss the context and impact of the episode. It's got great quotes from producers and cast members, plus links at the bottom to the transcript and the book. -- Danny (talk ) 11:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: A good read, well-organized, and a good model for handling other "milestone" episodes. -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 13:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support -- Brad D. (talk ) 18:37, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: At first, I was against it, but only because the last time that I looked at the page, the sketch listing was just a list, with no images like in the other episode pages, but now I think it deserves quality status. --Minor muppetz 06:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: --Justin 19:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Snuffleupaguses

 * Nomination -- Brad D. (talk ) 00:08, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: A very well-written page, with plenty of great pictures, and good info on the species. --Minor muppetz 00:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Comprehensive and well-written. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: — Scott ( talk ) 19:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I Want a Monster to Be My Friend

 * Nomination: Interesting story, well researched, good pictures and links. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:58, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: — Scott ( talk ) 20:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: This segment hasn't been shown on Sesame Street in years, and this page is very good in explainning why it hasn't been shown. The song was not only taken off the show, but also taken out of the rereleased albums that originally featured the song. --Minor muppetz 00:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Interesting article. --Justin 19:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Though I still miss a part telling that this song was on most international recordings too. Ive heared it in Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French and German too Somthing to add on this article Scott? ;). --Paul 20:12, 28 February 2007 (CET)

Sesame Street Discography

 * Nomination: Yeah, it's just a list page, but it's comprehensive and complete. There are a bunch of sites on the web now that have the same incorrect/incomplete discography; we're the only site that has the correct version. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Yeah, I can support a list if it's been as well-researched as this one. — Scott ( talk ) 20:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: This is one list that I can support. A brief lead paragraph that sets up the list that follows could be a nice addition if done right. -- <font color="Blue">Brad D. (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: While the list is good, there are some images missing. Maybe it would be good with those who have the albums with missing images (and access to a scanner) to upload them. Otherwise, I'd support it. --Minor muppetz 01:11, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: There's exactly six images missing, which for the size and scope, is pretty impressive. Unequivocal support here. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Albert Einstein

 * Nomination: Research, obscurata, outside link, etc. — Scott ( talk ) 20:29, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: One of the best, most in-depth of the pure "reference" pages, and while it has fewer images than some, it benefits greatly from strong writing, explaining exactly why Albert matters in the Muppet world. And the images it does have are perfect. -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC) 20:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Well-researched and comprehensive. I like the Professor Nucleus von Fission comparison. Talking about "e=mc2" as a celebrity in its own right is clever. Also, having Stan Freberg on the page is a plus. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Support: Excellent, far-ranging examples; detailed and an interesting read. -- <font color="Blue">Mary Catherine (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Muppet Show Theme

 * Nominate: Good detailed info on the various different versions of The Muppet Show opening and closing sequences, plus great still shots from the various openings. --Minor muppetz 03:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Doglion

 * Nominate: A very good, detaield page on an obscure character. --Minor muppetz 15:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: The filmography is very complete. It could use more descriptions of his onscreen appearances -- his three most notable Muppet Show sketches are brushed over in one sentence. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Waldo C. Graphic

 * Nominate: I think this is a good page about the character, has a great picture, and has plenty of good, sourced behind-the-scenes info. --Minor muppetz 23:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree that it's good -- the behind-the-scenes info is excellent. I think it could still be improved by adding more details about his on-screen appearances. He's very prominent in Muppet*Vision 3D, and there should be some description of that, as well as his Jim Henson Hour appearances. This should have on-screen info to match the level of the fantastic backstage info. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 15:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Steve Whitmire

 * Nomination: I was just looking at this article, and Steve Whitmire's article page looks like it is one of the best pages about any of the main Muppet Show performers. It is well-written, includes great quotes and pictures, is well-researched, and even has some great info on his relationship with Dave Goelz. --Minor muppetz 01:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think we can do more. Almost all of the references are from one interview; I think there's more that can be added. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is there any good information about Whitmire in Of Muppets and Men that can be referenced? I did post a link to another interview (besides his Muppet Central one), but that interview hardly has any good information that can't also be found in his Muppet Central interview. --Minor muppetz 15:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yeah, there's good stuff in Of Muppets and Men. I just added an attention tag, with comments on Talk:Steve Whitmire about how I think the article could be improved. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:14, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Put Down the Duckie (song)

 * Nomination: A well-written article about one of Sesame Streets best-known songs, with only one celebrity redlinked, a listing of commercial releases, and a bit of good info on the song itself. --Minor muppetz 00:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Episode 314: Harry Belafonte

 * Nomination: One of the best-known epsiodes of the show, and reportedly one of Jim Henson's personal favorites. This page lists all the skits, has a number of good pictures, and has other great info. --Minor muppetz 00:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I don't think this is ready yet. It doesn't have the full sketch list that we usually have on Muppet Show episode pages. Also, I think there's more to be said about the African Masks number -- there's plenty of sources that we could get quotes from. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
