Wesley Clark

Very, very old previous FAC

There were a lot of issues brought up in the old nom that are now moot. Nomination reset. Raul654 04:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Support again, still seems good to me. Trebor 07:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Support — engagingly written and well laid out with interesting photographsAhadland 13:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - fair use Image:Clark logo.bmp does not add substantially to article. Hipocrite - «Talk» 16:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Reply What? It's an image purposefully distributed to be reused, so it's not like the fair use is contentious. Beyond that, it's a campaign sign for a campaign section. Staxringold _talk^contribs 22:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• I continue to believe this fair use image does not add substantially to the article. I suggest you replace it with an image that shows a campaign appearance, perhaps? Hipocrite - «Talk» 21:21, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• You can contend that but it flys in the face of basically every other featured article on Wikipedia where logos are useable fair use images to display the subject (in this case the logo of his 2004 campaign used to display his 2004 campaign). And I've sent his campaign a request for free 2004 images. Examples of fair use logos in featured articles include Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cheers, The West Wing (TV series), Avatar: The Last Airbender, Blade Runner, and the list goes on.

• Note It's been replaced with a png version per request. Staxringold _talk^contribs 21:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - It would be better if this image could be uploaded in the PNG file format. Harryboyles 02:29, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Oppose - The entire article is nothing but campaign propaganda. Staxringold even deletes, repeatedly, the usual non-partisan links (such as FEC campaign finance records) in External links. Instead we are treated to old campaign websites and someone's personal blog about Clark. Flatterworld 23:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

• Reply Usual such as in what featured article? Because unless I'm mistaken, trimming external links to as slim as possible is a very basic requirement for good articles. I'm not being biased, I'm trying to keep this already very long article trimmed. I'm removing the Wes Clark Democrat now, just to make it clear.

Comment I've done some copy editing to the article and if the one citation needed tag I added to the 2004 Presidential campaign section is addressed, I would be happy to offer my support to the article gaining FA staus. It meets all criteria. Good job to those who worked on it. Regards, --Jayzel 18:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
