History of the Ryukyu Kingdom
This article should be nominated. Very little has been published elsewhere on the rich history of the Ryukyu Kingdom. As it kind of overlaps with another article on Ryukyuan history: Ryukyuan history and Ryukyuans, some attention is also needed to bring the two articles under the same heading.
 * Object:Needs a map. Needs images. Needs references.  Needs 3000 words. It's terrible, what's the mater with this place today? Giano | talk 18:59, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: 3000 words and references can be searched in libraries. We can all work on it. Map can be easily found on-line. Dunshi 19:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * strong object. Sorry, but there is a rather large amount of work needed before this article is FA-worthy.  To start with: 1) there is no lead section. 2) there are no images. 3) cite your sources. 4) The The Origins of the Ryukyu Kingdom and its dynasties section is exactly one sentence and doesn't even list any of the dynasty names. 5) The External links section is longer than the rest of the article.  Please review What is a featured article before nominating articles in the future for FA status. slambo 19:19, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
 * Compare this article to the content in History of the Grand Canyon area to get an idea of the comprehensiveness that is needed for a History of REGION article. slambo 19:22, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * Please, do not nominate articles that do not meet basic FA criteria. Phil s 19:42, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * refer to peer review for additional ideas. Not comprehensive enough to be a feature article. --Scimitar 20:17, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object, refer to peer review or the article improvement drive.--nixie 00:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Are those Wikipedia mirror site links I see in the ext. links section? It looks like there's at least a few. Everyking 02:26, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object- Please write a more comprehensive article. Featured articles should offer an in-depth look at the topic and contain a lot more information and writing. Flcelloguy 03:03, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Object - Looks kind of sloppy, and needs a map.
