Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

 * Nominator:-- Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ Hit Me!Sign Here!

I am nominating this for FA becuase it is in really good shape and I beleive it will pass. I know I havent done much of the work mostly User:Ink Runner and User:Artichoker, but Ink is inactive and Arti gave me permission to nominate it.-- Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ Hit Me!Sign Here! 13:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

On nomination/significant contributors: According to pagestats, User:Coltonblue and Sotomura are the top contributors (followed by Ink, User:Amarkov, Urutapu, Sukecchi, and Lividore before Artichoker.) Also, I see no indication at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon that Artichoker has in fact given permission. -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 14:09, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Most of them are inactive, and it was in the archives, here.-- Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ Hit Me!Sign Here! 14:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No, what I see is that Artichoker said to run it by Ink Runner. Have you done that? Dabomb87 (talk) 14:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ...and looking at his contributions, he has not given his consent. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * He is inactive.....as basically all the top editors, I asked and they never answered, check there talk pages and somewhere it says inactive-- Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ Hit Me!Sign Here! 15:17, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * From where I'm standing, both User:Sukecchi and User:Urutapu have edited in June 2009. -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 15:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore I'm going to quick-oppose based on fact tags throughout the article. -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk ) 15:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments I am familiar with this game as two of my kids are avid Pokemon fans (my 18 year old and 10 year old girls!). I would like to see this popular subject promoted to FA but I can not support right now because there are several very large swaths of unreferenced text. Wikipedia articles are summaries of commentary by WP:RS reliable sources. When content is unreferenced, it gives the appearance that the article is the WP:OR of Wikipedia editors. I encourage the nominators to go back and try again after they have provided references for all unreferenced sections.  Nancy Heise    talk  15:25, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: Needs a few more references in the first section of "Gameplay" and in "Plot", but other than that, the article seems good enough for me after a quick skim. I'll give you my support when that's done. Tezkag72 (talk) 16:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment User:Ink Runner is the main contributor to this article, by far; however, he is inactive. I myself never gave permission for this article to go to FAC, and I don't think it's high enough quality to pass at the moment. For starters, the Platinum section which was recently merged needs to be fleshed out and copyedited, with probably a few source changes. The "My Pok[e]mon Ranch" section also needs to be rewritten and sourced.  Artichoker [ talk  ] 17:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
