Headlamp

 * I made a small contribution to this page a year or so ago and I have recently checked the article. Because the subject matter is familiar to many people, and yet there is a lot of interesting information that is not generally known, I think it would make a good Featured Article.  I have never nominated an article for FA status before, and so I am unsure whether this article is worthy.  I think it is, but I am interested in input from others.  The only deficiencies I noticed is some inconsistency regarding headlamp styling versus aerodynamics in the different desings.  --Lenehey 15:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * That's incredible. Two gripes, regarding pictures: one, it seems a bit Saab-heavy; and two, the flip-up headlamp pictures should be swapped, to give a better sense of motion. Other than that, I'm shocked that something so (seemingly) trivial can have so much work and research done on it. Bravo! Seegoon 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * My gripe: the intro talks a tiny bit about personal headlamps used in mining and caving. The rest of the article doesn't really tlak about them. It's a bit too car-heavy. A picture of a mining headlamp would do wonders. --198.185.18.207 21:24, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I also agree: this looks like an excellent and thorough piece of research and editing. Of course, to get anywhere near FA, it urgently needs to cite its sources, preferably with inline references. I've added the appropriate cleanup tag. Sandstein 22:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Without inline citations, the article has no chance of FA. I suggest you thoroughly cite the article (see Sandstein's comment) to reliable sources, and then reapproach peer review.  Sandy 23:24, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

'''Yep, it's not ready for FA yet—I have on my desk the immense stack of sources which for various not-very good reasons did not get cited when I was posting swaths of this article. I will add citations as rapidly as I am able. Good comment on the Saab-heaviness of the photos. I think non-automotive headlamp information would be a distraction in this already-large article; they should have their own article.''' --Scheinwerfermann 03:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
