Good topic nomination. I am nominating these as they are the four parts of the Four Quartets series, published by T S Eliot. They follow the same format and are connected to each other through the main page. They will probably never become FA from lack of public domain images of the author or the works.

Comment Nice work. I'm surprised, though, that you think that the lack of images would preclude the articles from reaching FA status. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I try not to nominate anything unless I believe it is of a superior standard in both content and aesthetics than any current encyclopedia out there. Since others own multiple images of Eliot that are pertinent, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to pushing for them to go through without at least an image of Eliot (sure, an image on Dante, Aquinas, the locations, etc, can be found, but the author is an important part and would be ignored).

Speaking of images, can you try to come up with a free image to use in the topic box? Rreagan007 (talk) 02:02, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are none. The images we have of Eliot have never been verified as actually free. Copyright applies to all other images of him. The work was produced less than 70 years after author's death so the title page is copyrighted. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:18, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well we've got to have something for the box so for now I've just inserted the illustration of Eliot that's on the commons. If you find something else you'd rather have there just change it later. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:47, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support I suspected this was the plan when I saw the GAN queue a while ago! Have you considered creating a navbox to link these together? It could also link other works by Eliot - I suspect the "casual reader" of Wikipedia is more likely to be enticed to click on a poem/play name in a navbox than on a category.

I've been meaning to create an Eliot box for a while now but for some reason I never got around to it. I will do it later. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:36, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
