Kerosene
✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 00:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Of high practical importance. Sufficient content is already present but major parts (especially Applications) need to be organized and trimmed. Lede needs a more balanced summary of the article. History section is much in need of trimming. Out-of-date and low-quality references need replacement. The B class rating is 8 years old. Some parts are technical but most are readily improved by interested non-experts. –MadeOfAtoms (talk) 00:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

Mashed potato

 * Vital article with broad interest that happens to be a stub (although maybe it's more of a start?) and has decent pageviews. I think this nom basically meets all the TAFI criteria. Clover moss  (talk) 23:15, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Criticism of monarchy
✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 00:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * This article, though not quite short, actually is no comprehensive since it lacks info about criticisms in Japan, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark, and criticisms in the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and Thailand are not summarized, although it does provide internal links to let readers know them.--RekishiEJ (talk) 11:24, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Sankebetsu brown bear incident
✅ SVcode ( Talk ) 00:15, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Article has had multiple maintenance tags for 5 years now without much improvement. It lacks adequate sources for the majority of its main body, and the tone isn't appropriate for wikipedia. - ThatSpiderByte (talk) 17:31, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Tricolour (flag)

 * Includes so many flags from around the world. Tagged for nearly a decade. 1 citation (a dictionary definition). Paraguay, Mexico, India, Ivory Coast, should be great for international collaboration. Gaois (talk) 02:15, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

Goalkeeper

 * Surprisingly poor considering it is a position shared by so many sports. Tagged for more than seven years as needing citations. Only five references. The sports involved are played throughout the world (so more important than sport-specific positions such as quarterback or slip) and easier for people from different backgrounds to collaborate on. Gaois (talk) 23:57, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Support Although it has a whole lot of information, it doesn't have any citations like you said, there can possibly be enough information to make it at least a B article, the best I see it as is a featured article, it should be nominated. Sportsfangnome (talk) 20:16, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

History of film

 * Hello Wikepedians! I come to you again after suggesting food court a few years back to suggest another Vital Article, this time a Level 3. This page has been a labor of love of mine for the last 2 years or so. The project for me started as I noticed the page was lacking incredibly in citations and content and I've finally gotten the early decades of film (1890s through very early 1910s) on the page to a standard that I see as somewhat acceptable with the help of a few others, namely @Joortje1. With that being said, the rest of the page is severely in need of help. A few years back, the page was split into the history of film technology and the history of film as an artistic medium. I am seeking help for this page on the history of the medium. Windyshadow32 (talk) 21:29, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
