• Initial comments regarding the nomination go here. This is where you should make your case regarding the nomination.
  • Yes: I think this is a worthy article for the article of the week. --Jabrwocky7 12:42, 11 July 2006 (PDT)

A-Missions

• Nominated by: --Blueeagleislander 18:09, 6 December 2006 (PST)
• Easy to read, fun, plenty of pictures, interesting and one of our best lists here. --Blueeagleislander 18:09, 6 December 2006 (PST)

• Yes: A very simple but effective article. --   Dee4leeds  talk  contribs  all  06:14, 9 December 2006 (PST)
• No: 'Nuff Said. no writing in the article. the a-mission concept is kinda flimsy to begin with and it just lists pretty much everytime jack, kate, locke, or sawyer ever go out of camp. so, NO. ---Slyce23---
• Abstain: I really like this article cause its quite quirky, but I agree there isn't much brilliant content --Nickb123 (Talk) 04:14, 16 December 2006 (PST)

• Yes - A very novel way of looking at Lost's storyline, as well as episode structure with respect to who gets a flashback. I got hooked by the article and made some basic structural edits, and although it could use more editors making it better (AAA anyone?), I think it already deserves recommendation. -- ^Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  ^Talk  02:58, 19 December 2006 (PST)

Desmond

• Nominated by: ---Slyce23---
• Rationale: It looks like a very official article. The pictures are integrated well, well written, and noone else is nominating anything else.
  • Yes. Good article, well-written, nice fotos. Desmond is also one of the more interesting characters. Rennerboy 10:42, 17 December 2006 (PST)
  • Yes I agree Desmond has become one of the most interesting characters on the show, with his future seeing capability, his connections with the Widmores and what he knows about the island that he hasn't mentioned yet.--Jabadibah 05:20, 19 December 2006 (PST)
  • Yes Aside from being well written, presented, IMO the importance of this article borrows from the prominent role its character has grown to fill, in less than 10 episodes. So far, Desmond's thread was coupled with 2 of the most interesting plots; the Hatch & and the Crash, yet holds potential for more future expansion. In addition to the char.'s addictive qualities, which made "brother" almost a trademark of Lost! Thus, more exposure to the article will surely be beneficial-- 00:41, 22 December 2006 (PST)

Rivalries

• Nominated by: Marik7772003 06:52, 17 December 2006 (PST)
• Rationale: I believe that this is a very good article. It is very pretty, illustrated with pictures and such. The table also looks very nice.

• Possible sample text: Drop 42 allegorical characters on a deserted island with little hope of rescue and limited resources, and you've got a recipe for conflict. Throw in a few love triangles and a box of guns, and you can count on some deep seated feuds. Take a look at some of the rivalries on Lost, some that are incredibly potent, and some that are, well, out there... (Read More)

No. Interesting article with lots of potential, but not quite ready to be featured.

• Language is too informal and imprecise; e.g., "alleghorical characters." It hasn't been established that LOST is an alleghory.
• There's some misplaced humor, such as "Stealing kidneys may disqualify him from the "Father of the Year" award," which is against this guideline.
• Rivalry implies competition, which is a special sort of conflict involving a common object of desire. Jack and Sawyer seem to be rivals for Kate's attention; Jack, Sawyer, Locke and Sayid could be considered rivals for leadership of the survivors. The article doesn't adequately cover these rivalries, but it does cover a number of conflicts that aren't rivalries. As written, the article is more appropriately titled, "Character conflicts." As such, it is almost comprehensive, but it does miss some conflicts, such as the important, complex one between Jack and Kate.
• The format of the article is strange. It consists of a table and a gallery, with no lead section or any other text.
• In summary, I think this article needs to be reconceptualized either as rivalries or conflicts, then discussion added, the gallery incorporated with the table, and the chosen subject covered more comprehensively. Rennerboy 11:24, 17 December 2006 (PST)

No: Too informal, Would be a good candidate for Article Attack though. --   Dee4leeds  talk  contribs  all  10:34, 18 December 2006 (PST)

• No - however this article has potential, but I'd rather not feature it atm. -- ^Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  ^Talk  03:07, 19 December 2006 (PST)

• It is an honor just to be nominated! Seriously, I do know the article needs some work, and it is a melange of feuds, rivalries and conflicts (rather than the strictly-physical Fights article). I don't personally have time to "attack" it myself, but I'd appreciate any work done to improve it while still keeping the original concept: to track the emotional/philosophical/psychological battles between the characters. --Amberjet11 10:30, 19 December 2006 (PST)

• I think the article has a lot of potential, so I reworked it using some of the above suggestions. It probably needs a little help, but see if that works any better. -BearDog 13:08, 19 December 2006 (PST)
