I've listed this article for peer review because…

I think that there is much more work that needs to be done. I have passed this article through Requests for feedback, and I have received some helpful information there. Now I hope to receive more in-depth feedback in order to improve the article to the best of my ability. Are there any gaps that I have to fill? Is the article too short? Am I lacking in details?

Thanks,

 * Would it be possible to get a peer review anytime soon?--Dem393 (talk) 00:28, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I read it and it is an interesting article - it seems like it is more of a list than a regular article, so if it is seen as a list it can not be a Good Article or a Featured Article, although it could potentially become a Featured List (FL). While it has some third-party sources that are independent, to become a FL it will need to have many more suce references and depend less on the primary sources from Merriam-Webster. Some might see this as an advertisement, so the third-party sources are especially important for that reason too. I would also try to explain what each word of the year (number one) is briefly - I had to click on the link to see what "w00t" means. Another possible thing to add would be comparisons to other word lists and perhaps more on cultural impact. I really don't know what else to say about it - the article seems reasonably complete as is, but there is always room for improvement. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 02:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
