Featured and good topics in Wikipedia A featured topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles).A good topic is a collection of inter-related articles that are of a good quality (though are not necessarily featured articles) with a less stringent quality threshold than a featured topic. This page is for the nomination of potential featured and good topics. See the featured and good topic criteria for criteria on both types of topic. If you would like to ask any questions about your topic and the featured/good topic process before submitting it, visit Wikipedia talk:Featured and good topic candidates. Before nominating a topic, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at Featured and good topic questions. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the FTC/GTC process. If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors of the articles prior to nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly. The featured and good topics director, GamerPro64, or his delegates Aza24 and Bryan Rutherford, determine the timing of the process for each nomination. For a nomination to be promoted to FT or GT status, consensus must be reached for a group to be promoted to featured or good topic status.

The topic was promoted in January 2021 but has since seen some changes: the newly promoted FA "Out of the Woods" and the newly created GA "This Love". Fortunately, the number of FAs still satisfy the requirements for an FT, so here's the second nomination to legalize the inclusion of two newly improved articles.

- Comments:
On "Welcome to New York", IMDB is not considered a reliable source, and can only be used as an external link. On the "Live performances and other usage", the last three usages and not sourced at all. You either wikilink everything or you don't. If you just wikilink once, taylorswift.com. → Taylor Swift website, Vulture should be wikilink on reference 10 and not 12; Time should only be linked on source 19, remove from 20 and 21. Billboard wiki linked on 26. Clash is not wikilinked on 31. Overlink on 45, 46, 59 and 50. Not sure if Gothamist is a reliable source as it is a blog. On "New Romantics" everything is overlinked and needs to be concise. Billboard (15, 16 and 19), Rolling Stone (5, 40, 41 and 42), Slate (6), The Hollywood Reporter (29), The Washington Post (47), taylorswift.com. → Taylor Swift website.Same problems on "This Love".On "Wildest Dreams" Headline Planet is an unrelibale source, radioairplay.fm source needs to be appropriately formated per Wikipedia:Singles criteria, reference 52 not properly formated, Idolator is now publisher and the article suffers from the same link problem as the others.On "Out of the Woods" MTV News is the publisher, not sure why there is no release history table, and Radio Airplay SSL needs to be properly formated as I affirmed above.Here you have Republic Playbook, on other articles is Republic Records, consistency. Overlink problem on Billboard, MTV News, Rolling Stone, Stuff, Vulture and others. For every article so far, Vulture always needs url-access=limited.This is just the first batch of comments, once fixed I will go for the other articles. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:49, 24 June 2022 (UTC) - Comments Second batch: On "Style" clash magazine not wikilink, some problem with Elle UK wiklink and medium is not a reliable source. However, you can find that information on the grammy website, medium is a mirror website. On "Bad Blood" the same problem with medium and headline planet. PopSugar is a blog and the writer seems to also have written for Newsweek, which is not a reliable source. wikilink Billboard, The Edge. Reference 76, consequence is missing wikilink and author. Wikilink on 79. The year-end sources are messy in regards to work/publishers, "Billboard/billboard.com" and others. On the tour article, what is a "TBA" publisher? The tour setlsit from genius is not reliable, PopCrush and Headline Planet are not reliable sources. Wikilink The Washington Post, Billboard and Taste of Country. If you could find an archive source for the dead link it would be nice. There will be a third batch. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- A small comment--the story was published on Medium before translated onto the Recording Academy's site, so Medium in this case is a platform and is reliable. Ippantekina (talk) 03:51, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Medium is not reliable, please see WP:RSP. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:56, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- I know. In this case it's like Facebook; the Recording Academy used it as a platform. If you look at the published dates, the Recording Academy article (Feb 17) was published after the Cuepoint article (Feb 13), same author (Paul Zollo). Ippantekina (talk) 10:12, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
- It is still an unreliable source, Zollo also published it on American Songwriter. Just replace it with the Recording Academy article. Not sure why are you "fighting" to keep a source deemed unreliable. Nvertheless, there are still more issues that need to be addressed besides that one.

Ref 180 and 187 are missing wikilink...

"Do not abuse incorrect template parameters (e.g. by putting the work title in

" in an attempt to avoid italicizing digital sources" - I was advised somewhere that "taylorswift.com" is the correct input for work and not "Taylor Swift website"--and I don't see how "taylorswift.com" should be a problem unless you're being nitpick-y.
- Not sure which overlink problem you are referring to? Because at WP:DUPLINK:
"Citations stand alone in their usage, so there is no problem with repeating the same link in many citations within an article; e.g.
. If there are references missing the hyperlink, I'd add the links to all instead of removing some.|work=The Guardian

Regarding the release history, if you only have one date you don't need it. However, if you do have several dates for release dates...it's easier to understand the table, it's not like the article only have one release date, they have several.

Good topic nominations
EFL League Two play-offs (1st supplementary nomination)
This topic is already featured. It is being re-nominated to add additional items. See Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/EFL League Two play-offs for discussions of the topic's previous nominations. The additional items are:
- Contributor(s): The Rambling Man, ChrisTheDude, Amakuru
I am nominating the article "2022 EFL League Two play-off Final" to be part of the larger EFL League Two play-offs topic. Obviously as the latest League Two play-off final it should be added to the topic quickly, and I am impressed that the editors were able to get this article to Good Article status in under 2 months.

David Bowie studio albums
English singer-songwriter David Bowie (1947–2016) released 26 studio albums throughout his lifetime, between 1967 and 2016. A posthumous album, Toy, which was recorded in 2000, was released in 2021.

Two years, about 15 books, numerous websites, subscriptions, and lots of time later, I have brought all of David Bowie's studio albums to at least GA or FA. This possible topic includes all 26 of his studio albums released between 1967 and 2016, along with a posthumous album, Toy, recorded in 2000, shelved, and finally released late last year. I also brought his two studio albums with the rock band Tin Machine (1988–1992) to GA but I did not include those here as this topic includes just his solo studio albums. Huge thanks to Ian Rose and 87Fan for helping with two of the articles many years ago, and thanks to all the support I've received throughout this project. --– zmbro (talk) (cont) 00:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support, all albums are GA or better. Congrats Zim, and good luck on Costello. blueskiesdry… (cloudy contribs…) 13:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support I've reviewed some of these, and read most of the others. This is a truly outstanding piece of work from Zmbro and completely deserving of good topic status. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:54, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support: Looks like a mountain of excellent work! I've added a draft summary paragraph, which anyone else should feel free to improve on. I'll just note that it seems odd that the text repeatedly says that he released 26 studio albums, while this proposal includes 27 (with Toy); if Toy counts, then probably all the counts should be updated to 27? -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:32, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Blackstar, which came out two days before he died, is definitively considered his final album. Toy is a posthumous release that's still technically a studio album, just an addition since it was recorded entirely in 2000. But Blackstar is without a doubt his final album. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 16:18, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
- Support: I reviewed a few of these and have been an avid watcher of many. I have to say, these pages are not just among the best the various music WikiProjects have to offer, but are some of the best on the site as a whole. Tkbrett (✉) 15:20, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

I have worked very hard on these articles for the past few years, which began to see early results when "Touch the Sky" became a GA in December 2019 and I scored my most recent one with "Heard 'Em Say" in June 2022! Late Registration achieved this status before I was even an editor on here, however I tried to bring it to FA earlier in 2022 with extensive work but to no avail, though the album is of significant importance to potentially become a FA. Update: I have now created an article for the Touch the Sky Tour and I have managed to expand it enough to become a GAN, which I can see it passing easily and I hope the managers are alright if I make this part of the GT since it hasn't been promoted yet. --K. Peake 11:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose: I hate to be a downer, but it's typical for an album topic to include any supporting tours and live albums associated with the studio album, which, in this case, would mean Late Orchestration and, at some point, an article about the Touch the Sky Tour, once someone writes one. No disrespect to your work on all these articles! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:42, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- Bryanrutherford0
The Touch The Sky Tour was not notable enough to have its own article created and is mentioned in the main article anyway. Also,Late Orchestration was released as late as 2006 and features songs from The College Dropout too.Therefore, these are not needed for the GT.I have created an article for the tour now and it is in the process of expansion; if this passes at GAN, will you support the GT? --K. Peake 21:04, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- That goes a long way toward addressing my concerns! I'm not sure I can support without the live album (it's even named after this studio album), but I can probably go neutral. Great job doing the work to solve the problem! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 13:07, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

- Comments: Amazing work on all these articles, including "Gone" and "Hey Mama" where you provided sources that make said articles pass WP:NSongs.
On "Hey Mama" after the sources you have this written there "The year of 2000 Kanye produced this song and enlisted Naki the Beatman producer 107.5 radio personality who brought Kanye Mysta Jay for vocals. Naki's vocal mate of r&b group Precyyse." → remove. On "Drive Slow" one archive error on source 33. Reference 16 shouldn't be Slant Magazine? In several articles, such as "Touch the Sky", you use "Vulture", always url-access=limited. DJ Booth is not a reliable source, according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. On "Heard 'Em Say" can you replace sources 113 and 117? References 65, 66 and 68 are duplicated from the chart table. Source 77 is missing the author. I will add more later. On "Diamonds from Sierra Leone" amazon is referenced in one source but not on the other (22, 23 and 109), also not sure about the reliability of rocklist.net.MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 13:40, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- MarioSoulTruthFan I have done all of your points, apart from the replacement of sources 113 and 117 because the GA criteria says dead links are allowed, removal of refs 65 and 68 since these are using a refname cited from the table so are not duplicates while ref 66 is needed separately for the specific chart issue and ref 77 already cites the author so you must've missed something. --K. Peake 09:35, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
The article I wanted to mention with those sources was "Touch the Sky", really sorry about it. On "Gold Digger" source 37 has both work and publisher, stick to one, and is Playlouder a reliable source?MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 10:05, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

- I made those fixes for the song article now apart from the ref 77 one, as there is no author for that source. Also, ref 37 does not have any publisher and Playlouder is reliable due to having partnered with Glastonbury. --K. Peake 07:49, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- I meant 76, Idolator Staff. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 02:07, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- MarioSoulTruthFan Staff are not supposed to cited under this parameter, as they do fit in the authors category. Also, I've made all of the other fixes apart from where noted. --K. Peake 06:22, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Regarding the album sources it is flawless, congrats! I just want to know if "The Ringer", seems to be a good source for sports, is it good for music? I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 12:09, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- MarioSoulTruthFan There is an entire section on music just like sports, so that shows it'll be reliable for both. --K. Peake 15:10, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- So I wanted to support this nomination. However, I can't as Bryan Rutherford made a good point. There is missing the tour article and I found some sources to create said article and with a few more researches you can get more info and make it a GA. This is what I found with a quick search. To be honest, fantastic job on everything else!
- Best wishes, MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 19:06, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for showing the sources that would provide notability for the tour. However, I will obviously have to create the article, then nominate it successfully for GA status. Because of this, should this candidacy remain open if I begin work or close since the article will be completely missing until the latest scenario? K. Peake 11:47, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

- Good job so far! MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 14:54, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
- MarioSoulTruthFan I have now nominated the tour for GA; will you be willing to review it or merely come back to this topic if the review passes to comment or voice support? --K. Peake 11:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi! I won't be reviewing the article since I'm a bit tired from the GA backlog, hopefully, you understand. Yes, I will come back to this topic once you add the tour, just let me know. Nevertheless, I'm still on the fence regarding the Late Orchestration live album, as it shares songs from both albums. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 11:44, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
