Summary of reviews
'''Large reviews with supports
 * 1) Wehwalt
 * 2) Dianna
 * 3) Leadsongdog

'''Large reviews without final statement
 * 1) The Rambling Man
 * 2) Giants

(All remarks implimented (almost all) or commented on.)

Other commenters
 * 1) Reywas: asked for a name change (declined with rationale)
 * 2) Afro: a few comments, all met at least partially
 * 3) Fallshirmjaegar (image expert): checked images (sat), a few upgrades made by him
 * 4) Mokole (grad student in herpetology): science checked sat, asked for primary refs as well as review ref (done)
 * 5) Bibliotech: one comment, fixed

Path forward
1. Are there any unstated issues preventing promotion?

2. Are more reviewers needed? I can get more people to come by (more prose experts, more herpetologists, a US political type, offsite experts). But I really think it has had enough. Seems like review time would be better apportioned elsewhere.

 * I'm not sure if I'm comfortable assuming that "looks good" is a support when it's not explicitly stated. Have you considered sending LeadSongDog a carefully worded message asking if he meant to support? I think having three clear supports instead of just two would make a difference.

 * I just asked him to clarify.


 * Will you please indicate if there are any aspects of the article that need fixing/changing or if more review is needed, how many and if they need to "vote".TCO (talk) 02:38, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

While this is all very interesting, I am certain, please be assured that the FL directors will promote the list (or otherwise) when they see fit to do so. In the past we only promoted on one given day a week, and while we are now more flexible than that, please leave it to the directors to form an opinion, rather than produce a summary.

 * Yep. Giants, TRM and I are all busy in real life (as are most editors I imagine), and we can't always promote a list the moment it's ready. I'll try to close some FLCs when I get the chance. Dabomb87 (talk) 14:32, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
