BR Bullpen talk:Featured Article
From BR Bullpen
Time for a new featured article? It seems Josh Hancock and Longest game in baseball history both have a lot of support. -Chisoxfan 12:00, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
The latter is good but needs a picture. I tried scanning in a picture of Barrett and Boggs at home that the Pawtucket Red Sox agreed to release but it wouldn't load in. If you want to give it a shot, let me know. - --Mischa 13:28, 18 March 2008 (EDT)
I think we should update this monthly, at least during the season. Anyone else think it's time for something new? -Chisoxfan 01:01, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
I was going to propose Dave Nilsson for later this month but want to patch up some red links first. - --Mischa 09:06, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
I think Nilsson is a good choice. Well written and incorporates both MLB and international baseball. -Chisoxfan 13:56, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
Okay, it's been two months and we need a change. Looking at BR Bullpen:Featured Article Candidates, we have the following candidates:
- 2001-2002 Cuban National League; not ready for prime time
- Josh Hancock; almost ready but needs some work
- Peanuts. Vote is 2 to 1 against. Unlikely.
- Richard Nixon's All-Time All-Star Teams. Only one vote in support. Unlikely.
So only Hancock is viable and that is not done. People can always propose other candidates. I like the current Ty Cobb after Philippe added lots of info but it needs sources, as do many other good articles that meet the other criteria.
What do others think? - --Mischa 20:32, 2 July 2008 (EDT)
