Golden plates
I'm nominating this article for featured article because it is very well researched, documented, and notated in a style that is very neutral and informative. The article is a controversial topic but has been forged into a very neutral stance and all editors are happy with it's tone and scope. The article is among the best I have worked on for wikipedia, although my role is more minor than others who have contributed. It is formatted properly and upon review for GA status it was recommended to be submitted for FA status, so here we are. Twunchy 16:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Support This is a good. article that stays neutral about its controversial topic. A good example of how an article about a controversial topic can be well-written. Zeus1234 08:32, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Support Full disclosure: I'm a contributor to the article. However, a lot of people have worked on this over the months, and the article has been stable for a long time, which is remarkable considering its controversial nature. I think it is one of the most thoroughly referenced articles out there. I hope that reviewers will take a look and add their votes and comments. CO GDEN  00:42, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * MOS breach in the placement of final quotation marks after sentence-final punctuation. It's inconsisent, anyway. See MOS on "logical" punctuation. No final period in captions that are not full sentences; e.g., full-scale model and Hill. Opening letter upper-case, please. Tony   (talk)  14:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * ✅ I believe I have fixed all the punctuation and capitalization, and converted to logical quotes. CO GDEN  01:41, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
