Fountain of Time

 * Nominator(s): TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:23, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because since the prior FAC many troubling issues have been resolved. Three maps have been consolidated into one. About a dozen refs have been removed from the WP:LEAD. The article has gone through a thorough copyedit by one of FACs best editors. It is the best peace memorial article on WP and I think it is now ready. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 22:23, 2 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm going to go through and order the references, since I know you're so busy wiki-wise. Mm40 (talk) 01:05, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:58, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Further comments minor things I noticed
 * Fix the two disambiguating links
 * O.K.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Reference 36 seems to have an extra period. I would remove it, but I might be missing something
 * Removed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please link to the ISBN of reference 49 (I would, but I'm afraid I don't know how) Mm40 (talk) 01:22, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There was a typo with only the first nine digits of the ten digit isbn. Since ISBNs are either 10 or 13 characters the template was not recognizing it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:48, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I also added the third editor.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 01:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Support: I did a substantial copyedit after the last FAC. I can't say that the prose is perfect, but I think it meets the standard. It seems to me that the other major issues left outstanding at the last FAC have been addressed – though I still have some reservation about the number of images. I would like to see some comment from editors who supported or attacked the last nom, so that Tony the T can take appropriate action. Brianboulton (talk) 13:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Image review: no issues, mostly self-taken (appropriately licensed ) images. Press photos were likely published near the time they were taken if we take LoC for its word. Jappalang (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. This is much, much better. I'm so pleased to see this. However, I'm talking only in terms of Cr. 1a, and other reviewers may want to cover other aspects. I did a quick c-e of the top and noticed a couple of instances where a comma probably needed relocating earlier in the sentence. You might watch that pattern. A small point: "the" is usually required where "of" is used in a nominal group; so, "Installation of this model near its intended location was delayed by ..." needs to start with "The".

 * Support. I told TTT I wasn't going to comment on this one, but have changed my mind; this is a high quality article in an underrepresented area, and (while I have to agree with Brianboulton that the images look messy) I can't see anything to fault it. –  iride scent  00:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I especially like the many and varied photos of the fountain. Dincher 01:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Support - I supported this the first time around, and the prose has only improved since then. Am very glad to see the lede not chock-full of citations! Sasata (talk) 07:19, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
