Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Homo floresiensis
Not a self-nom - I just stumbled across this, and it looks remarkably complete, meeting all the FAC criteria that I can see. Ambi 04:25, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Minor object. This looks rather good, but the "Reaction" section is a bit poor, as it lists only a single reaction, and no source is mentioned for the reaction. Also, several links in the External links section are already outdated, as is often the case with newssites. These should be cleaned up (there is currently a lot of duplication in the links as well, so it seems unnecessary to have so many). Jeronimo 07:53, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Neutral. The article is very nice. It's hard not to be impressed by the development of this article in the 2 days following the first publishing of the discovery. The following is not actionable, so not an objection, but I don't know how wise it is to feature an article about such a recent and controversial discovery before it has been given proper peer review etc. Regrettably, my knowledge in the field is limited so I don't have anything to add about the article contents. — David Remahl 08:03, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Support. this is an article to be proud of. I had read about the discovery in the news, and I thought I would insert a short note on the matter on WP, and lo and behold, a full-fledged article was in place already. That it is a new discocery is duly noted in the intro. The taxonomy seems a little too definite, the possibility of a classification as a subspecies, H. erectus floresiensis could be noted more prominently. dab 12:13, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Note: It sounds like the objections and concerns above wouldn't be very difficult to fix, but I know absolutely nothing about the topic outside of this article, so it would be good if anyone with a bit of knowledge about such things could take a shot. Ambi 12:30, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

- Support. I weeded out a couple of dead ext. news links & added another Loom blog link to reaction or controversial work. -Vsmith 01:16, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
