Rock carvings at Alta[edit]

I'm not sure if it's entirely proper to list this article in its current situation since the original article has been marked as a copyvio and my rewrite currently resides at Rock carvings at Alta/Temp, but that is not a permanent situation and I guess it will be resolved by the time the FAC procedure has been completed (if nobody objects, I'll just go ahead and delete the copyvio article - the original article contained no information that is not present in my rewrite). I tried to create a comprehensive overview of the site's location, history and background - the article certainly still needs some expansion, fact-checking and improvement in phrasing, but I'm confident we can get it up to Featured Article status. -- Ferkelparade π 22:12, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Refer to peer review. Well, no, I don't think it's entirely proper to nominate it right now. I don't have any problem with the copyvio situation, but you yourself describe your article as a typically appropriate peer review posting—"still needs some expansion, fact-checking and improvement in phrasing"—rather than an appropriate FAC nomination. I like the article, and I don't mean to be difficult, but peer review exists precisely "for nearly Featured-standard articles that need the final checking by peers before being nominated as Featured article candidates"[1], so why not use it?

    • Alright, I will place the article on PR now. Sorry, I wasn't quite aware of the proper peer review procedure before coming here, but I see your point. -- Ferkelparade π 09:58, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
