[edit] Homestar Runner
Homestar Runner is an in-depth look at this internet cartoon series, its characters and its creators. The contributors have worked hard, and it even has a spoken version. - Kookykman|(t)e
- Object. We'll need references and fair use rationals to pass this one. --Oldak Quill 00:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object. This article is in need of peer review. There are a couple short, one-sentence paragraphs, some clunky writing ("The Homestar Runner world features several sub-cartoons and spin-offs. These cartoons take place outside the normal Homestar Runner world..."), capitalization and punctuation errors in several places. Also there's a lot of stuff I just don't get (where is this cartoon set?) And references are need (especially for statements like "The antagonist Strong Bad, however, is more popular among many fans"). Andrew Levine 01:17, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Slightly agree. I was just thinking that this article would be a great featured article, but you guys are holding up some good points. I'll halfta go through and make some good edits. Then it'll be ready. And just a thought, do you think names like G.I. Joe and Sailor Moon on the page should be in italics? -- Darth Katana X
- Comment As proper names no. As names for series, yes. Jkelly 18:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object. Needs a references section, fair use rationales on the images. There are too many subsections, which has ultimately created lots of stub sections which is a nono for featured articles, try merging these subsections in with the larger sections. The inline citations need to be converted to footnotes. Refer to peer review for more comments. — Wackymacs 10:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- All three images have copyright status now. - Kookykman|(t)e 15:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Also, there are very few references: The cartoon and the HRWiki, which are both linked to already, some twice. - Kookykman|(t)e
- What about books, news articles (newspaper or website based), website reviews, anything other than just the homestar runner website and another wiki? In order for an article to become featured, it must fit criteria. One of the criteria is that it is well referenced and has verifiable sources. — Wackymacs 16:50, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- The images still don't have fair use rationales. Please see Wikipedia:Image_description_page#Fair_use_rationale. — Wackymacs 16:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

- Object: See reasons listed above --ZeWrestler Talk 02:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Object - the fact that there's no references section is enough to keep it from featured article status. --Jtalledo (talk) 15:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
