Created FAC from original nomination here.
- Phonograph cylinder - If you don't like it, I'd like suggestions for improving it. Infrogmation 17:14, 12 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Great article, especially -- as I see it -- the implicit parallel between the demise of the phonograph cylinder and the audio/videotape. Professor Higgins might be mentioned. --KF 12:58, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- "If you nominate a page to which you have contributed all or a large majority of content, then it must be seconded by at least one more person in order to be accepted." (see above) Well then, where's the problem? --KF 15:26, 4 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Titanium - self nomination. This is a reference article showing everything I want all the chemical element articles to be. If this isn't "brilliant prose" yet I would be very interested to know what else can be done to improve it (and then apply that to the whole WikiProject). --mav 07:47, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

- Zionism - Adam, Zero, and Danny, et al. have done a great job of putting together a lot of different takes on a complex subject without the "critics say" crutches that so many of our articles rely on. Somebody new to the topic could come out with lots of useful information. DanKeshet
