Clonaid

 * previous FAC withdrawn

I hereby nominate this article for Featured Article status in hopes of making it appear on the 5th anniversary of the Clonaid claim on December 27, 2007.Kmarinas86 06:19, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment Prior to the previous nom being withdrawn, there were two opposes for prose concerns, with some very good advice to seek a copyedit. There appears to have been no attempt to resolve these concerns, and so a brief read reveals plenty of prose problems. Please consider taking a more measured approach to bringing this to FAC.

 * After receiving many comments like these, I am sure that the cause of my bad prose is systematic (even pathological) in nature. It has almost become a way of thinking for me. It's difficult to stop it.Kmarinas86 20:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixes needed. Gave the first paragraph a small copyedit. However, I've spotted a few issues:
 * "Florida attorney Bernard Siegel tried to appoint a different guardian for Eve and threatened to sue Clonaid." This rasies several questions? Who was Eve's original guardian? Why would Siegel want to sue Clonaid? The sentence needs more context.
 * Fixed. different→special.Kmarinas86 03:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Reason given and cited.Kmarinas86 03:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "A terminology dispute over whether Clonaid is really a company or just a project name led to accusations that that the whole Clonaid project was a sham." Sounds awkward (the change in tense in the middle of the sentence doesn't help). Accusations by whom? Who disputed the terminology?
 * Fixed. I hope.Kmarinas86 03:16, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll add more comments soon. CloudNine 22:10, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Please include an appropriate infobox
 * Please wikilink month and date combinations
 * There are very few wikilinks in the article. You could add wikilinks to states, to newspapers and news broadcasts, etc.
 * I'm encouraged by the fact that these are minor problems. I will try to sort those out ASAP.Kmarinas86 00:24, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
