I guess people only vote on topics they feel comfortable with. I think the opposers have a point in the case of your FTC at the moment, it's missing a few articles for completeness - see Featured topic candidates/Ipswich Town F.C. for a general idea of what I did to get a sporting team to FT status...

Replaceable fair use Image:Bervin Alexander wiki screenshot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bervin Alexander wiki screenshot.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 02:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Welcome!.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Welcome!.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

The references look good though they still need to be fully formatted as I have previously suggested. The section "Illeism, malapropism and anecdotes" needs to be rewritten with a new title.

 * I took a look over the sources and they are of decent quality. What is stated in the section is sourced.  This section does not fail the Biographies of a Living person standards.
