== Dispatch ==

Cirt, you might be interested in writing a ] ] article on Featured portals (the only area of featured content we haven't covered). Sample previous articles are at {{t1|FCDW}}. We've covered:
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* ]
* And Featured articles many times: ], ], ]

None of them start out looking like that: if an editor initially just chunks in some text, many others chip in to tweak it up to Signpost standards. For example, someone wrote which Karanacs, Royalbroil and I turned into ], so if you just chunk in some text as a start, others can help finish it off. Another example, I put in and Karanacs brought it up to ]. Other editors have written almost complete and clean Dispatches without much need for other editing. If you're interested, please weigh in and coordinate at ] In case you're interested, you could just begin sandboxing something at ] and pop over to ] to leave a note when you're ready for others to help out.

== Carroll Pickett/GA1 ==

Thank you for your comments on ]. I do not know if this article will ever make it back to GA nomination, primarily due to Google- and primary- sourcing issues and the fact that the only interesting parts of his life are related to his work in the prison system and as an anti-death-penalty advocate, but I do plan on improving the article where I can. Your comments on criticisms is well-taken, but in my research I didn't find much in the way of criticizing him ''per se''. The fact of the matter is, he's notable but not famous. Outside a book and movie tour earlier this year, his recent national press has been in specialized publications, not mainstream media. If his level of notability means there is unlikely to be criticism and unlikely to be more than token mentions of his life prior to then, does that mean it's impossible to meet the good article criteria #3 and 4? Also, you don't like links to Google archives for paper-form publications. I don't understand why this is a problem. ]/<small><small>(])/(])/(])</small></small> 03:05, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
