The Western Star
Self-nomination. A thorough life of Ohio's second oldest newspaper, with a photo, a map, and references. I had it up on WP:PR for eleven days and no comments were made so I hope no news is good news for its featured chances. PedanticallySpeaking 16:59, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * Object this article reads more like a timeline than a history, the wikilinks are almost exclusively to dates. The article is also overall too short to be comprehensive. Needs a photo of the heading on the paper's mainpage preferably on an old issue. This time it shouldnt pass. I think this should go back thru Peer Review again.

 * Most of the people mentioned are quite obscure. Had I wikilinked them, then someone else would be objecting to the abundance of red-links.  I have linked what there are articles on or could be.  I did look for an image of the paper on the net, but didn't find one.  One problem is the generic name tends to dredge up all sorts of unrelated sites.  Yes, the one section is mainly dates as I trace the varying names of the paper.  But if I presented it as a list, there'd be objections to a long list.  PedanticallySpeaking 17:22, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes but too many redlinks is not a valid objection for FAC. As it stands I still have to object since its not really long or "comprehensive" yet... but it is still a good article! so be proud of what you've done so far.  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 18:32, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Neutral. Good article, but as Alkivar points out, besides from the rich details you provide on the history of the newspaper, I'd like to see more about its life within the community, i.e. influence in local politic events throughout history, if available. A bit more of graphical richness would be also desirable. Very nice work, nevertheless. - Shauri 11:49, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I will add that it was a Republican paper originally, but unfortunately I can't add too much else, there not being many printed sources available on Lebanon and Warren County. I'll look at Dallas Bogen's site while I'm at it.  PedanticallySpeaking 17:22, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support (qualified). The basics are here, and it would benefit from some tweaking. It would be helpful to have some additional graphics, although I couldn't locate any from the LOC source. Vaoverland 01:11, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
