Wanamaker Organ
Nomination and no vote. I believe that the article is well-written and comprehensive.Spikebrennan 19:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support by virtue of the fact that I have been heavily involved in writing it, and, being connected to the organ itself, I know that it is factually accurate, which the outside sources can also verify. AdamBiswanger1 19:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment See WP:LEAD: a one sentence lead is too short. Teemu08 20:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. "It is played twice daily except Sundays (except during the Christmas season)" So is it played more than twice daily during the Christmas season? Or is it not played during Christmas? Or is it played on Sundays during Christmas, or is it something completely different? P.S. once fixed, this would be a good sentence to go into the lead. Andrew Levine 20:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Fixed and fixed. AdamBiswanger1 22:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose There are 5 total citations in the entire article. There are only 2 citations in the entire history section. There are numerous facts that deserve citing. KnightLago 01:04, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The lead picture is inappropriate. It doesn't even show the organ. CG 10:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that this objection makes sense. The most distinctive set of the pipes is right in the middle of the picture, and there are more pipes in the higher levels of the atrium all the way up to those crescents at the top.  The problem with photographing the Wanamaker Organ is that it's not geometrically possible to get all of it in one shot.  There are sets of pipes at both ends of the atrium and the console is on the second or third level of the atrium, on one side.  It would be like an attempt to photograph all of Yankee Stadium, inside and out, by a photographer on second base.Spikebrennan 13:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, you could write a better caption describing the picture and relating it to the article. CG 06:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Object Needs inline citations, and prose is not brilliant (for example, consecutive sentences beginning with "It was designed .. ") Sandy 01:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The statement that it is played twice daily appears in the opening statement and also under "Organists." The one oppose was due to the statement of playing on Sundays and I believe it was the one mentioned in the "Organists" section.  Since this staement is already mentioned earlier I believe it can be deleted. IanBlade 11:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
