replies: text: Just type "Statelessness reduction convention" into the search box. When the page loads, at the top of it wiill be red letters that pretty much say that the article doesn't exist and that you can create it by clicking on it. Then type "#REDIRECT 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness" and that's it. (Ghostexorcist 18:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: I have a feeling that this article is going to be failed very quickly. There is next to little citations and the page is more of a list. As far as I know, lists are never given GA status. The page needs to be restructured and all of the info needs to be incorporated into paragraphs to get rid of all the bullet points. (Ghostexorcist 08:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please follow the "wikified" link in the second blude box from the top to read about the proper structure of an article. And "Articles initiated by DavidYork71" is not a proper category. It has nothing to do with the subject of the article. (Ghostexorcist 21:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I failed the article because of the many points I've addressed. (Ghostexorcist 22:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  GA nom 

message: This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of February 14, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: pros are too short to tell if it’s well written. Only a sentence or two are written before another list is used. This reads really stiff and choppy like a lawyer wrote it. Smooth out and extend the statements a little more.
:2. Factually accurate?: There are no “active” in-line citations. You forgot to put  at the bottom of the page to activate them. You need more than just three sources for such an article.
:3. Broad in coverage?: It’s basically a list. Each section with paragraphs is very tiny. Please combine all bullet points into paragraphs.
:4. Neutral point of view?: A few statements here and there that are hidden amongst technical jargon.
:5. Article stability? It seems to be a random collection of info. The page needs to be restructured to have a lead paragraph, body, and conclusion if applicable. Also, I see where you typed in the code for another pic with Gypsy girls in it, but did it wrong, so the code is visible and the picture is not.
:6. Images?: Need more of them. No picture should come before text (like the very first pic for example).
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

thread_title: Failed "good article" nomination

message: This page has the exact same text and pics as Statelessness. I suggest that one be merged into the other. (Ghostexorcist 03:38, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duplicate info 

message: If you look on page 39 of this PDF it looks like the us is a signatory of the Convention, which contradicts the map.  Or have I got things wrong?
