Not enough chemistry topics! (Partial self nom, as I worked on some, but not all, of these articles.) --Double sharp (talk) 14:34, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fez (video game)

[edit]

GTC nomination—This proposed topic covers the video game Fez and its constituent subtopics: its development and its creator. There are no other subdivisions of the game with significant coverage for their own articles. All constituent articles are at GA class. Do I need the parenthetical disambiguation on this topic title? Thank you for your time czar  17:39, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support; covers all pertinent topics since Polytron doesn't have its own article. Tezero (talk) 19:42, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Greg Wohlwend

[edit]

This is the complete topic of Wohlwend's independently notable works (as either an artist or a developer). Any topics without significant coverage were worked into the parent article. I also considered working Mikengreg (the partnership behind his first two games) into the topic, but I didn't feel that it was appropriate. Let me know if you feel otherwise. Otherwise, all of these articles are GA and I believe the topic meets the criteria. Thanks for your time czar  00:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditional support; I would say Mikengreg is absolutely appropriate; this isn't a "Greg Wohlwend games" topic. Mike Boxleiter doesn't have an article, so why not? I'll support if Mikengreg is added. Tezero (talk) 00:28, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Tezero, where would it go? In a level between GW and their two games? czar  00:32, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That works. Tezero (talk) 00:38, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Tezero, added czar  08:55, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there we have it. Tezero (talk) 14:56, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Looking over these articles, they look very good. BTW, I think the Ridiculous Fishing series of images might have a chance at FPC. What do you think about using JPGs so that they render sharper in the article? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:05, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Responded at Talk:Ridiculous Fishing#JPG images czar  08:55, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Action Button Entertainment

[edit]

Good topic candidate nomination for the indie video game company Action Button Entertainment. All of its major constituent articles are GA class. I originally intended for Videoball to also be at GA but was informed that unreleased games cannot be GAs due to the stability criteria and how much articles change after release, yadda yadda (see the WT:GA talk page for more). This said, I did have the article peer reviewed in accordance with procedure, and will be able to bring it to GA as needed once the game is released. There are no other subtopics beneath Action Button Entertainment unrepresented in this proposed good topic's scope. Thanks for your time czar  17:18, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support; nothing much to say, really. Tezero (talk) 19:48, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Currently a neat topic, but precarious- you'll have to get the Videoball article to GA status when the game's released, and if any of the other of the studio's team members/games become notable then those articles will also have to be brought up to GA status. I'm sure this won't be too much of a problem for you, though. J Milburn (talk) 09:53, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - given your furious rate of output of GAs these past 6 months, I'm not very worried about Videoball not getting submitted to GAN within 3 months of release. Wouldn't really be worried if the time limit was 3 weeks, either. --PresN 15:29, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closed with a consensus to promote to Good Topic. - GamerPro64 00:50, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wildebeest

[edit]

Wildebeest are antelopes in the genus Connochaetes and are native to central and southern Africa. There are just two species in the genus, and the articles covering each of these, and the parent article have all become "Good articles" in the last few months. This is a joint nomination by Sainsf and myself. We worked independently so you may find some variations in style between the articles. All comments are welcome.

I did start using that form but them met a fancy template that seemed too difficult. I have also removed a template from the talk page of Blue wildebeest, but I am not sure whether that was what you meant. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:48, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:48, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
