Wikipedia:Brilliant prose candidates

That page works similar to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion, only the other way around: If a page is listed here for a week with no objections, it is added to the Brilliant prose list. If there are objections, they have to be worked out, until a nearly unanimous consensus is reached.

If you nominate a page to which you have contributed all or a large majority of content, then it must be seconded by at least one more person in order to be accepted. Some people may object to self-nominations on principle.

Table of contents

Current nominations

  • Lawrence v. Texas - in particular I like the way it treats the opinions of the dissenting judges calmly and fairly. Martin 19:21 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Good work, but I think it could use a little more info about the reactions to the case, both within and outside the gay movement. --Eloquence 02:32 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

  • Provinces of Thailand and the associated provincial subpages - a magnificent effort that synthesizes a body of information that one would be unlikely to find in most encyclopedias; and this is mainly the work of a single individual; very impressive IMO. Bill 15:24 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Love the work, but shouldn't we wait until all the articles are there? This is no objection. --Eloquence 02:32 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Self-nominations (need to be seconded)

  • Aztalan State Park: I put in an article on an area park which is a midwest Native American town going back over a millennium, making it pretty unique. Included some minor bits that were the result of my own firsthand observation. And if I only had a digital camera.... -- John Owens 23:14 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • Looks fine to me. I haven't checked the facts, though. --Eloquence 23:31 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
    • As a non-contributor to the article, I second the nomination. A well-written, informative article. Pete 10:31 25 Jun 2003 (UTC)

  • MKULTRA - excellent example for how a public domain text can grow into a decent article. Controversial subject, yet the article sticks to the facts. --Eloquence 23:02 24 Jun 2003 (UTC)
