SS Washingtonian[edit]
- Result: promoted. --Eurocopter (talk) 19:35, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm nominating this for A-Class because I believe it meets the requirements. Note: there appear to be no free images of Washingtonian (or Elizabeth Palmer, for that matter) — Bellhalla (talk) 14:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Regretful oppose With the adoption of the new five point A-class standards the articles we have are held to higher standards, and like all of Bellhalla's articles this one is exceptional for its well cited information, however it currently fails A5, the criteria on supporting visual aids. I would be thrilled to support the article, but the standards demand a picture or two (or a very good explination f why there are no pictures) before I can in good faith change my !vote.TomStar81 (Talk) 02:40, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]- After thinking the matter through, I changed my mind. If there are no free images, then we could in theory add non-free images, but that wouldn't nessicarly be helpful since our low pixle policy on fair use pics would deprive the auduence of the pleasure of viewing the ship, and an external link to an image would not add signifigantly to the article. I think this qualifies as a unique circumstance and thus switch to Support. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I added Image:SS Washingtonian.jpg, a fair use image of the ship, to the infobox. (I've never added a fair-use image to WP before, so I hope I have done everything properly.) — Bellhalla (talk) 12:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Support You're on a roll here. --Brad (talk) 18:58, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support As ever, support. Meets all the A-Class criteria, the infobox would actually be enough I think, it doesn't have to have an image to become FA, though I like the fair-use one (and it is licenced correctly). I added in the == Collision == sub-header as the large block of text was a bit unmanageable. Good work. Woody (talk) 17:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
