Cylons

+1 (a bunch of pictures does not a featured article-class entry make) -- Kudzu 00:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

+1 (I concur) --DeagleSteagle
 * OK. I can appreciate that. It's how we get to wikiality, after all. I have, therefore, added a bit more about the truthy bear heritage of the Cylons. Furthermore, I would humbly submit that it may be a bit Wikiphilic to suggest that only a long texty article with a dearth of pictures should be considered for featured status. Articles like that might lead visitors to believe that we want them to read stuff. It's a slippery slope from there to books -- and that's something we should avoid, eh?

Labor Unions

+1 --Lewser 04:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

No
+1 --Davidj 23:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC) Sorry, but I'd like to see this greatly expanded to an international scope with sub-sections on industries such as the garment industry, coal industry, oil industry, public employees etc... to get the Wal-Mart et. al slave labour factories highlighted
 * Then expand it, but keep in mind this was created from the standpoint of American Unions.--Weston Esterhazy 00:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

-1 Because my gut doesn't feel enough Colbert refences in it yet that reveal the greatiness of the Colbert Report and its ability to interview and nail the most appropriate guests. In this case, I'm thinking of at least 3 shows: I'll do what I can to help it become featured so that Labor Unions can be properly ridiculed.--Pro-Lick 02:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Colbert Report.2006.01.31
 * Colbert Report.2006.03.14
 * Colbert Report.2006.10.03 Andy Stern

+1 (I thought it was a great article, but like Andy says, no references to Colbert) --DeagleSteagle

+1 Maybe a little less randomness, clean up the interstellar references a bit.--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:21, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Taxachusetts
nominated by --Fairy Incognito

Yes
+1 It has red links, but I think they can be changed since I don't see a need to do an article for "hard-working."--Fairy Incognito

+1 Just Nate Cordry, that can be made easily... very truthy --Matty233 22:01, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

+1 --Davidj 22:58, 24 October 2006 (UTC) That's getting close to being an inside joke. I remember something about topology from calculus and matrices class in university but had not head of this asshole Dr. Yau. What as asshole. Definately worth the attention though. Thanks.
