Harry Potter

 * Nominator(s): Guy546 ( Talk ) 02:50, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because I have worked hard on it and have read previous peer reviews and the most recent FAC. Happy reviewing! Guy546 ( Talk ) 02:50, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Comments A quick look around finds:
 * References: several dead links; outdated and missing retrieved on dates.
 * Alt text could be more descriptive of the images. Some images missing captions.
 * Overlinking in article. How many links do we need to Bloomsbury, Scholastic, and each book and or movie?
 * Series needs disambiguating. --Brad (talk) 04:11, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Comment Were the top contributors to the article consulted before this nomination? Dabomb87 (talk) 04:43, 16 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Reply Yes, but alot of the major editors haven't edited for a while, so I only updated a few. Guy546 ( Talk ) 05:11, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The top contributor just made some edits today. I don't see any notification on their talk page. --Brad (talk) 10:29, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Media
 * File:Harry_Potter_Books.png -No valid FU rationale breaching wp:nfcc and FAC3
 * File:Coat_of_arms_Hogwarts.svg - I would be very surprised if this is not a derived work of a non-free design, breaching wp:nfcc
 * File:Hp_british_books!.jpg - Is derived from non free content thus improperly licenced breaching FAC3
 * File:Jk-rowling-crop.JPG - This should be verified through WP:OTRS per commons:Commons:Project_scope/Precautionary_principle
 * File:The_elephant_house.jpg - Lacks a caption per FAC3
 * File:GWR_'Hall'_5972_'Olton_Hall'_at_Doncaster_Works.JPG is currently tagged as "This file is missing evidence of permission", this should be rectified

 * Guy546, please stop doing this: FAC processes have been explained to you before. If you want to bring an article to FAC, please develop one through peer review or possibly GA and consult and work with the primary contributors.  I will remove this FAC.

Object: Exactly the same things that stopped this article's last nomination are still wrong with it. The Themes section needs to be expanded, scholarly sources need to be found to give some idea of the subtexts and meanings in the work. Someone needs to troll Google Scholar for references to give this piece some scholarly heft. I'd be willing if someone else were willing to collaborate.  Serendi pod ous  16:58, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
