Upgraded articles
editThis section is for articles that were formerly slushpiled, but have been promoted back to DotM-candidate status as the objections were addressed. Looking at some of these articles, in particular their histories, might give you some ideas about getting things on the current slushpile into usable condition. Note: If you add items to this list, please try to keep them in alphabetical, rather than chronological, order, for ease in sorting through the material.
Berlin
edit- Berlin- Berlin would be good for May 2006 since FIFA World Cup Germany will be there. kingjeff
- I support Berlin for February 2006. (WT-en) Kingjeff 23:45, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Berlin's division into districts is badly incomplete, with tons of duplication and most info still listed only on the main page. (WT-en) Jpatokal 23:55, 1 Jan 2006 (EST)
- It's listed on the main page. It's a very thorough article. I don't think it's as bad as you think it is. It's a good article and a good city to visit. I think any traveller can pretty much fill there vacation to Berlin with this information. (WT-en) Kingjeff 00:21, 2 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Do not support. This article is badly in need of breaking into districts, precisely as Jpatokal says. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 22:56, 13 Jan 2006 (EST)
- Do not support. But I think as soon as the district issue is taken care of it should be revisited. (WT-en) Majnoona 11:53, 15 Feb 2006 (EST)
- Re-slushed following 2007 discussion; see above. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 09:57, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
- Attractive city with lots to see. The articles are good now and the pictures are really good too. -- (WT-en) DanielC 16:59, 9 Jun 2005 (EDT)
- I've been to Budapest in January, and it's not much fun then (except maybe ice-skating and mulled wine at Varosliget). I would be all in favor of a springtime nomination though. (WT-en) Jpatokal 03:40, 17 Dec 2005 (EST)
- 2 or 3 sections needs to be done. (WT-en) kingjeff 00:35, 2 Jan 2006 (EST)
La Paz
edit- La Paz - South American (see above). Quite a small article, but information in each of the categories. (WT-en) DanielC 08:19, 4 Nov 2005 (EST)
- Indeed, a little short but otherwise OK. Not sure we need South America now though, as we just had the Falklands... (WT-en) Jpatokal 02:31, 16 Nov 2005 (EST)
- Not eligible due to article status. (WT-en) kingjeff 00:35, 2 Jan 2006 (EST)
- The above issues appear to have been addressed, and it's been re-added as a DotM candidate. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:08, 24 November 2006 (EST)
- A historic highway in the United States, Route 66 has been a classic itinerary for years, and user (WT-en) Rt66lt has been making huge strides with this article. Probably best if featured between April and October when there isn't snow anywhere along the route.
- Nominated by (WT-en) Ryan 14:24, 10 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Support contentwise, but this needs better pictures — one good enough to showcase on the front page, and others to liven up the text. Some maps would also come in very handy. (WT-en) Jpatokal 16:16, 10 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- Maps and pictures now in place (I'd use the "Cadillac Ranch" photo to illustrate the article), so it's back on the nominee list. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:22, 24 November 2006 (EST)
Swansea
edit- Swansea for October 2005 as this is an especially exciting month to visit Wales' City by the Sea: The US$60 million National Waterfront Museum opens its doors on October 17 . Also, the city will host the annual Swansea Festival of Music and the Arts from September 30 to October 22 (the second largest festival of its kind in the UK) , from October 1 to 9 the Swansea Fringe will bring festivity and entertainment to the streets of city after a twenty year absence, and finally The Dylan Thomas Centre in the city will reverberate to the sound of Thomas' poetry and prose during the annual Dylan Thomas festival, which runs from October 27 to November 9.
- Support. Could use a couple more pictures, and "Media" isn't a standard header, but otherwise very nice. DOTM for October sounds reasonable unless Munich gets re-nominated. -- (WT-en) Ryan 03:37, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)
- Oppose, half-heartedly. The solitary picture just isn't good enough, and we just had Winchester in July, so it's a bit early for the UK to come again. The formatting is also a bit off in many parts. (WT-en) Jpatokal 00:22, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)
- These objections seem to have been addressed; it's now not only back in the Candidates list, but apparently heading for DotM in July 07. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 17:06, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
