Comments[edit]

Okay, we've got a bracelet winner here with no Wikipedia page. Something needs to be done about this. Cyberchao X (talk) 03:40, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If anybody wants to resubmit this to FLC, here are the open comments from the first attempt:[edit]

COPIED FROM THE FLC

References Which citation templates are being used? There is an inconsistency with how the fields are presented, like the dates. Error with the citation template in ref #9. Consistency with the publisher of Poker Listing: is it Poker Listings? or Poker Listing? Ref #5 is missing a publisher, in addition to being dead.--TRUCO 503 02:15, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Quick comment- The word "results" in the article name should be lower case. I don't know if moving it during this process will break anything so I won't. Otto4711 (talk) 22:21, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Ref 5, the "BluffMagazine.com. Bluff Magazine" is not necessary; just put "Bluff Magazine".
