À Hauteur d'homme[edit]

Nominate I spend 99% of my time here on Wikipedia reading articles and 1% contributing and I have spent years browsing this site; this is the first article that made look up the Featured Article candidate nomination procedure. The article is very thorough and concise, it is well organised and strikes a neutral position, something quite difficult considering the subject matter. It also has many images and sources and, in my opinion, it looks like it fulfills all of the featured article requirements. It was also sent for peer review[[1]] though no comments were made.

Comment I haven't read through the article yet, but the lead should be expanded per WP:LEAD - The Catfish 03:17, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The article needs references. And yes, the intro is a bit weak. joturn e r 03:18, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very weak object The pics here are birlliant, and it is well written. Its a great article, but the intro needs to be longer. Also, there are no refrences, however, I think that the external links may have been used as sources. You could just retitle the section if that is the case.

It's too short and needs refs. Everyking 04:02, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Object. Just on a superficial skim, the lead is way too short and I don't see how the text justifies all the screenshots (we have had some issues here regarding pushing the fair-use envelope with that). And more importantly, I know the article is about a francophone Candian documentary about a francophone politician, but this is still the English Wikipedia — would it be possible to provide a translation of the title in, say, the first sentence?

Oppose should use English title, this is English Wikipedia. Ardenn 02:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- There is no English title. We do not needlessly translate titles if there is no common English equivalent. —Cuivi é nen, Thursday, 13 April 2006 @ 13:34 (UTC)
- Just realised that you might be referring to within the text of the article (I assumed you meant for the article's title). Then, yes, a translation should be provided. —Cuivi é nen, Thursday, 13 April 2006 @ 13:36 (UTC)
Object. This qualifies for the Good Articles list, but not featured articles yet. Featured Articles not only need to be referenced, they need inline citations. They also need to follow all community standards, including WP:LEAD, as mentioned above. This article probably isn't far from being featured quality, but it needs some work to expand the lead and get the references sorted out. Work towards at least one inline citation per section at least, per paragraph prefered, and of course, each individual claim should be cited in general. Hope we don't scare you off as a first time FAC submitter... the standards 'round these parts have been set very very high as of late, which also means that becomming featured is an honor that has some weight and worth these days.
