After being informed of this article by somebody unaffiliated it yesterday, I have checked it over thoroughly and checked the sources, and now it has been taken off hold and open to a review, it passes all of the good article criteria, thus I'm promoting it. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Cheers, Qst 15:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Good article nomination

message: Laralove, congrats on making this article GA. Now, let's make it better. Let's start with an edit you just reverted: Replacing "International Exposure" with "Works." Right now, the section contains "The group and their followers..." that is about philosophy, not exposure; a sentence about the LA job, and a sentence about a Paris job. It's not a coherent section, and certainly is not all about "International Exposure." In fact, the single sentence about Paris is the one "international" thing about it. I suggest setting up a section: "Works." PRRfan (talk) 20:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's information about the Great Wall of China as well as some other overseas exposure. It's just a matter of getting a reliable source, as blogs dominate searches at this point. The rename is fine, but cutting the subsections, I can't agree with that. Also, moving information from the body into the lead because of redundancy, that's totally against WP:LEAD. Lara❤Love 21:05, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: One thing at a time here. The "International Exposure" section has only one item about "international exposure", and doesn't even include the China bit. This part of the article's structure, therefore, makes no sense. What would make sense is one section about the group, its origins, methods, and philosophy; and one section about notable works. PRRfan (talk) 21:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't like the Works title at all. It implies that we are going to get into a simple list of works. International exposure shows how the group has been recognized in different nations. It certainly avoids a US-centric tag and is far more applicable than 'works.' International exposure is not the same as saying 'exposure outside of the United States.' the_undertow talk 01:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Now that the philosophy bit is resting elsewhere, "international exposure" works better as a subhead. PRRfan (talk) 00:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Sigh. Glad we could work this out on the talk page first and all. I'll also fix the proseline and some other new issues tomorrow as well. Lara❤Love 08:02, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Notability- does this article meet the standards.  I've seen more notable things than this be questioned before.  I'm a knitter and I don't really find this notable enough for its own article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.90.155.55 (talk) 02:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Notability

message: Lead/Intro of the article is a tad short.  Could be expanded a bit more.  Cirt (talk) 19:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree it is a little short, but I've seen many articles pass GAC with a lead about that length, some even shorter; so I don't think this is something to worry about too much. Qst (talk) 19:30, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it's appropriate for the length of the article, which is very short. It touches on all aspects, I believe. However, if you feel it can be improved, feel free to tweak and expand. Lara❤Love 20:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[WP:LEAD]] 

message: For example sentences like:
*"That is when they thought, "Let's do more.""
*"Knitta even gets a little "hardcore" with ideas like hanging knitted-bagged sneakers over aerial telephone cable."
*"After gaining national exposure, the group decided to hit bigger cities with bigger targets" (hit?)
*"A year later, Knitta was invited to the Los Angeles Standard Hotel, which caters to an edgy clientèle, to..." 
Are pretty poor and not what I would expect to see in a GA. I'll fix it up myself if I get the time. -- Naerii 11:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Someone placed a mergeto tag on yarn bombing suggesting it be merged into this article, so I shall start the discussion.
*Oppose - Yarn bombing is the generic term for the practice, Knitta is only one group of people who do it.  I do not believe a merge is appropriate. Rob T Firefly (talk) 06:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
