Query
Can short articles like that of Peter Ostrum be promoted to the GA status? RRD13 (talk) 06:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
- Per WP:GA?, A good article is...Broad in its coverage: it addresses the main aspects of the topic". Length alone is not a While notability is not in the GA criteria, a non-notable article is likely to be nominated for deletion, whether a GA, GA nominee or otherwise. See also WP:GVF, which compares GA and FA criteria, "Neither has absolute length requirements, although featured articles tend to be long and one of the original purposes of the GA process was to recognize good quality short articles." While I haven't looked into this article deeply, it seems there is little information about the actual film and reception of Ostrum's role. Furthermore, there is information in the lead which is not mentioned in the body (MOS:LEAD). I would recommend the creation of an "early life" section or similar.... Anyway, shortness alone does not prevent GA promotion. Adabow (talk) 07:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

GA Cup
We are proposing a competition that could finally put a dent into the massive GAN backlog. Click here for details (and use the talk page there to leave your opinion).--Dom497 (talk) 01:32, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Linking requirement
Yesterday, the "Links" section of WP:LAYOUT was removed on the grounds that it is not a layout issue and is already covered in other MOS pages. In theory, this means that the linking requirements are no longer part of the GA requirements. Our choices are either to let linking be dropped from GA requirements, or to add Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style/Linking (or part of it) to the GA requirements to maintain the status quo.

Since there does not seem to be much activity at the Wikiproject, I have moved this discussion to Misplaced Pages talk:Good article criteria#Linking requirement. SpinningSpark 11:09, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
Legobot
I don;t know what is happening but it seems like Legobot is malfunctioning. It is notifing User:Example if articles passes/fails instead of the nominator. Look at User_talk:Example. Also ping AmaryllisGardener. Jim Carter 13:33, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
