2008 World Series of Poker Europe results

 * Nominator(s): I'm Spartacus!--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus!

I am nominating this for featured list because... I had nominated this article back in February and it looked like it was going to pass, unfortunately, there were a few open items and I was unable to address them due to real life activities. I have since taken care of those open items, and this list should be good to go or close to it.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

NOTE: I will try to resolve all open items before mother's day, but should anything come about between Sunday and Wednesday I may not be able to address it until Thursday. If there are open items that prevent this from being promoted on Wednesday, please do not close it as I will be travelling.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:24, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Comments - How reliable are Poker News, Poker Listings, and Gaming Business? I'm not up on most of the poker sites. Will wait until after Dabomb's review is looked at before commenting on the prose.  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 22:14, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ref 4's access date is formatted in a different format from the other articles.
 * Fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ref 5 needs a last access date. Dabomb87 (talk) 01:37, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fixed-it was a formatting error.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:26, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * quick response, will deal with Dabomb's stuff tonight, Poker News and Poker Listings are what I would consider B grade in reliability. Eg I'd put them on par with your local newspaper.  Gaming Business is one that I wasn't as familiar with.  The site looks pretty legit and reliable, eg it isn't a mere blog, and the article that is being referenced is derived directly from the Press Release, so for this purpose I would argue that it is solid.--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:21, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Prose review:
 * Repeat poker tournament link in the second paragraph. If readers want to know more, they'll have already clicked on the first link.
 * fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "In marketting the WSOPE". Typo.
 * fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In a contrast to my first comment, I'd like to see Betfair linked.
 * fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * "Furthermore, as the laws that govern the age of gambling differ in England than the U.S.; the WSOPE admits younger players." I think the semi-colon should be a comma.
 * fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Citation needed for Obrestad being the youngest player to win a bracelet. Should be easy enough to find a good source for that.
 * fixed--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 03:22, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That's about it. Looks fairly good overall, which I would expect since this is the list's second time at FLC (and probably would have passed before if circumstances were different).  Giants2008  ( 17-14 ) 02:13, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
