List of Maya Angelou works

 * Nominator(s): Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because not only does it met the criteria, it is an important list of works by an important figure in American literature. My eventual goal is to have a Maya Angelou FT, which requires that lists in the topic be featured. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:48, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments First, this is a nice piece of work and I learned something more from the lead. I assume that other listings without in-line citations are cited from Maya Angelou: A Glorious Celebration. ? One minor mistake is that you are using a spaced m-dash for ranges (for example "1954—1955"); instead, it should be an unspaced n-dash. I found the same format in Ref 9. If you fix those I am happy to support. Regards.-- GoP T C N 09:01, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Yes, the other listings are from the Gillespie et al. source, as stated in ref1.  I fixed the dashes, and other things I saw. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 15:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I fixed the first and other small nitpicks. I think it meets the criteria :), so supporting. Regards.-- GoP T C N 12:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Um guys, this has been languishing here for awhile--it is the oldest entry. Is there anything else that needs to be done? To me, it seems like every concern has been addressed. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 20:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, like all other featured processes, we need to get some kind of community consensus to promote. I suggest you contact the relevant projects and those editors you think who may be interested in such a list to come here and give their review.  We don't just promote lists because no-one's here to review it, nor would FAC, FTC, etc.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:10, 26 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. Changes look good to me. Supporting in anticipation of the below points being seen to, though they aren't major deal-breakers for me. GRAPPLE   X  21:28, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Sorry I've been a little slow in getting to the last comments; I've been out of town over the weekend and have been playing catch-up.  Will address the rest now.


 * Comments from Crisco 1492


 * Quick little comment: As of this date stamp there are eleven nominations older than this at FLC


 * Why is the title List of Maya Angelou works and not List of works by Maya Angelou


 * This has been an issue in the past with this list. Its original title was Works of Maya Angelou, but it was eventually changed by another editor to List of Maya Angelou works; see diff.  I assumed good faith and trusted that he was correct in the title change.


 * autobiography or autobiographies?


 * Um, not sure what you're asking?


 * Why isn't the list chronological? In the film and television section, for example, I see 1972 - 1990, then suddenly 1975, then 1968


 * Fixed.


 * You seem to be missing a couple links (Georgia, Georgia, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (film), Sister, Sister (1982 film).


 * Got it. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:54, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't mind fairly bare bones lists, but perhaps a bit of bibliographical information would be useful (publishers for books, network for TV, studio for films, etc.)
 * Made the additions. If there's anything else I should add, let me know.


 * I did a small copyedit, be sure to review it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:47, 5 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Looks good, thanks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 23:25, 7 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comments Ref 4 needs a date. How reliabe is Houston Progressive? Afro  ( Talk ) 06:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Simple fixes: added the date, and changed to a more reliable source. Thanks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 03:50, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support I have no issues with the article, there is a cite error but I'm sure that'll be quickly fixed. Afro  ( Talk ) 09:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
