Radio Caroline[edit]
I found this article extremely informative and easy to follow. The story is a fascinating one with many bits of intrigue. Kingturtle 09:09, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Object - Very interesting subject and a fine read, but 1)
References?2) There are no photos of the ships, the DJs or anything to do with the station 3) Summarize the station's history in a paragraph for the lead section. slambo 15:35, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
- 1a) The paragraph about frequency conversion doesn't really fit into the References section as it isn't a reference, more a discussion on how to do the conversion. slambo 15:22, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Object. Agree with the above. Please read the featured article criteria and only nominate articles that meet them. References are a basic one. Checking the criteria first is simply polite to those who spend their time here. - Taxman 22:12, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
- I disagree with the established feature article criteria. I don't see references as essential to a feature article. Kingturtle 23:37, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Well they are established, and that one for a very good reason. But this is not the place to discuss it. The criteria page or Wikipedia:WikiProject Fact and Reference Check or Wikipedia:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards are. Short answer: the information could be made up out of thin air if it is not properly cited to its source. - Taxman 00:05, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

- Object: Interesting enough but no references. Some images must be possible if only of DJs etc, needs something to add some colour and life. Giano 22:37, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: for the record, Feature Article Sid McMath does not have any references. How true are we to this "references are a must" rule? Kingturtle 15:11, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)
