 * The Steel Dragon 200 is the longest roller coaster in the world, and when it was built, it was also the tallest and fastest (it is also my favorite roller coaster). This article, though, is sadly ignored, and could use plenty of expansion.-- Horai 551 12:23, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I sure this could be improved to GA status. EditorE (talk) 21:39, 16 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This Eiffel 65 album is great, but I feel that a few critical reviews, (other than Allmusic) along with some other album and singles info are being left out here. A few reviews, even the Allmusic review, should be written in a "critical reception" section, much like other song and album articles that have received C, B, GA and FA class. I think there could be some info on the album's sounds in the reviews. (EditorE (talk) 21:25, 16 April 2013 (UTC))


 * The article is kind of a jumble - something it has in common with other hairstyle articles. There is lots of potential detail and material, and lots of citations needing tracking down. The "external links" section needs trawling through to see what can be used to support the text. It receives a VERY high number of daily hits (averaging around 1000 per day). Basically it's been a bit of a mess for a long time so would benefit from a major overhaul and fix-up... Mabalu (talk) 01:49, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

 * This group is famous for their song "Dear Mr. Jesus", and I've seen sources with info about Sharon Batts and the song not included here that should be, such as this one:.
 * In fact, from what I've found on Google News, the song and Sharon Batts received a lot of media coverage. EditorE (talk) 01:23, 19 April 2013 (UTC)


 * This article was nominated for deletion before because the nominator thought the article was not notable. That's not true. The subject is notable. It's just the article needs a lot of work. (EditorE (talk) 00:52, 18 April 2013 (UTC))


 * This article does not exist. I know. I'm as shocked as you are. Approximately 50 articles contain the well-known phrase, yet no article exists on Wikipedia. We do have the woeful Aesthetic interpretation, but artist's interpretation does not redirect there, and I'm not certain they are the same thing. In any case, an article on this very notable topic must be made. When we don't know what something actually looks like (for examples things that are very big or very small or very old or in the future), what do we use to have some sort of visual guideline to build off of? An artist's interpretations, that's what.--Coin945 (talk) 15:30, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Oppose I don't think there's any point working on this article as we're only 13 years in and in another 50 years or so everything's going to be undue weight. To a certain degree, I think this one suffers from current event syndrome or maybe even crystal ballism. Perhaps we should go for a century that's already fully happened. :)--Coin945 (talk) 06:59, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
