Featured article candidates/Cerebral palsy/archive1

Nominator(s): Haon 2.0 (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured article because I believe that it has a throughout, objective, easy to understand, and extremely informative page of this medical condition. Every time a person comes to me with a question about the matter, I direct them to this page, which I almost never do with Wikipedia articles. Haon 2.0 (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question. I don't see any edits from you (on the first page of edits); have you notified the major contributors of the article before submitting this to FAC? - Dank (push to talk) 03:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural oppose. Per comment on my talk page, editors of this article were not consulted before the nomination, as required by FAC instructions at the top of the FAC page. - Dank (push to talk) 17:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from my talk page:

After reading your response to my first response, I have decided that it is a lost cause. I got ahead of myself and didn't read the rules as I should have. I will wait for the page to have more cited and more thorough edits, and will then proceed to nominate it for Good Article Status, and see if it passes, before nominating it to FAC, before which I will consult the primary editors. Thank you for your input, and sorry for any inconvenience. - User:Haon 2.0 (talk)

No problem at all. Anyone on Wikipedia who isn't making mistakes, isn't doing it right :) - Dank (push to talk) 17:26, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is clearly not ready for FAC. There are many unsourced paragraphs, inconsistent reference formatting, and many sources that do not meet WP:MEDRS standards. Sasata (talk) 15:10, 27 June 2012 (UTC) Comment Yes proper referencing is required. Check out dengue fever or schizophrenia for examples. This is a very important article and thus should be improved.
