El Ángel
This is mostly a self-nomination, and my first FAC. This is an article on one of the most important landmarks in Mexico City, and I've been working on it since last May. I followed most of the recommendations I received during peer review, and in the process I created many articles related to important figures of the Mexican independence movement too. Overall I think the article is quite complete at this point and meets all the criteria to become a FA -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 19:49, September 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Object- while this article is well-written, I don't think it is quite comprehensive enough. Aside from the list of people entombed, there are only a few paragraphs on the history, and the only other section is the description. I would recommend expanding the history, making it more comprehensive, adding sections on the cultural impact, etc. See Statue of Liberty (which is NOT a FA) for example. Thanks, and keep up the good work! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 20:21, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback. While I agree with your comment, I honestly don't think I could add much more material without falling into original reasearch, specially when it comes to cultural impact. -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 21:26, September 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment: Image:ANGEL OF INDEPENDENCE.JPG has an unverified tag. Unless the source of the picture can be nailed down that photo will keep the article from becoming featured. TomStar81 20:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Fixed -- Rune Welsh &tau;&alpha;&lambda;&kappa; 21:26, September 10, 2005 (UTC)


 * Technical Note: for some reason the above has appeared on the Spoo FAC subpage, yet when one goes to edit it, it does not appear. I haven't a clue how to fix this.  Whoever does may obviously remove this note entirely.  Thanks.  --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 21:32, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Fixed; was listed on Featured article candidates/Spoo/archive1. The  simply "adds" the page content. I've removed it from the FAC for Spoo and instead listed it directly on the FAC page. Hopefully, if I did it right, there should be no visible changes, except that it doesn't show up at the Spoo subpage. Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk  01:10, September 11, 2005 (UTC)


 * Concern—It needs a bit of copy edit, but is not too bad; however, the main problem is that it's just too short. Can you expand it significantly, contextualising the monument in terms of the history of commissioning, designing and building these structures? I'm not sure that there is and can be enough meat here to qualify as a featured article. Tony 23:45, 10 September 2005 (UTC)
