Mount Buller

 * per nom. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 10:17, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment That was faster than I expected. I've been working on this one for some time, and I plan to continue to work on it. Please ping me if you have any suggestions for the page. One thing is that the image shown is somewhat outdated: Spurs has received a renovation, and Horse Hill is now called Northside Express. Perhaps this image would be better? JML1148 (talk) 10:26, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I've replaced the image with c:File:Mt Buller village Stevage.jpg as suggested – it's only a placeholder image, though – we choose different images for banners closer to when an article is scheduled to be featured (roughly 2–3 months). Please keep working on it – nominations usually sit here for many months and articles don't need to be perfect at the time of nomination (also hence my speedy nomination). -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 10:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. This is head and shoulders above our other Australian ski destination articles. Jpatokal (talk) 10:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination. Mrkstvns (talk) 12:57, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Glacier National Park (Montana)

 * Close per comment. Ypsilon (talk) 19:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Neutral – we've kind of set a precedent with Tombstone Territorial Park for trying to include not only coordinates, but also geolines, for hiking trails on park articles. I might have set my bar too high, but it feels a step backwards to feature a park article without geolines. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 07:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I think that may be an unrealistic standard. Geolines for hiking routes remain the exception rather than the rule on this site. I'm not sure I've seen them in any North American articles. I do think it would be good to have more of them, though – do you have recommendations for how to go about adding them? I've only managed to do that in articles like Inca Trail where the geoline comes from OpenStreetMap via Wikidata. —Granger (talk · contribs) 04:16, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried to get the main trail of Urho Kekkonen National Park from OSM, but there were a million variants, all of them only short fragments: useful in an orienteering map, but not in an overview map. That means they have to be drawn by hand at geojson.io. Very much doable, but you need to think about how much detail is needed, and they probably should be in the Commons' data namespace rather than in the article, and there is little guidance on that. Some guidance on whether to add information other than the route proper – such as where it follows a road, where it is a footpath, where it is just a line drawn in sand (or through the swamp) – would also be nice. Do we have a standard? –LPfi (talk) 14:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi,, sorry for the late response. My main recommendation for adding them would be to use geojson.io and adding the json code into the article. I wrote a tutorial a while back on User:SHB2000/Getting a line on an itinerary, though it's a little out of date. See my last few edits on Mount Aspiring National Park for how I've done it for the Blue Pools Track. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 22:18, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that's useful information. For hiking itinerary articles, I could possibly see making this a requirement for guide status, but for park articles, I think it seems too tedious to require for guide status or featuring. —Granger (talk · contribs) 23:45, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I could also possibly see this as a requirement for star articles. SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 01:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - missing coordinates added, fees updated etc. Ypsilon (talk) 19:47, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Land Art Trail on Mount Učka

 * Support LGTM. -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 11:06, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Scheduled provisionally in Oct/Nov 2022. /Yvwv (talk) 21:31, 21 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Support as one of our quirkier and well-planned itinerary articles. I noticed this article some time ago and remember it being well-written and organized. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 00:15, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: I didn't feel up to reading all the way through the article, but am I the only one who finds the "Understand" section overly preachy? I did edit it somewhat - the use of "man" and male pronouns for humanity is very old-fashioned and kind of jarring, at least for many Americans - but just how much do we need to push an idea of how to experience that trail? My feeling is that we definitely should state what the author's intention is, but we can then let people experience it however they do and go on to practical descriptions and advice on how to get from Point A to Point B, etc. I'll try posting a briefer alternative version of that section on the article's talk page later. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:08, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Ikan Kekek (talk) 11:20, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, having just recently discussed about images in Talk:Canadian national parks, are the galleries a violation of the image policy? Per Image policy, "should only be considered for showing multiple examples of a specific topic (for example, in describing flora and fauna or cuisine – but not attractions). Image galleries should not be used solely as a way to include a large number of different pictures in a destination article". This isn't a destination article, but it is depicting attractions. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 08:08, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd say the composite image at the top definitely violates the prohibition against montages and should be removed. Some of the galleries, such as the one that shows two views of the same spiral geograph, are not needed. Most of the rest seem OK to me, since this is not a destination article, as you said, but an itinerary in which it may be necessary to recognize every artwork. The Sentinel picture is problematic per WV:Image policy, though. I'm not sure we should do anything about that. "Land Art Trail on Mt. Učka in winter" doesn't need a gallery; one image could do it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:09, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, anyway we have about 7 months left to fix this up so nothing urgent, but we can't feature an article that blatantly violates WV:IP though. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 00:00, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I made a few edits in the last few days, but we should make decisions about whether it's appropriate for this article to violate Image policy. I think that the density of images and the galleries still violate those guidelines, and while that might be OK as an exception, featuring this article carries strong risks that readers will believe this is exemplary in that respect and copy it in ordinary destination articles. Are the descriptions of the artworks clear enough that we can reduce the number of images to a more limited selection that excludes some of the works, eliminating the galleries with the possible exception of "Signposts and markings on the Land Art Trail" and creating 3 times more space on the right margin between most images, as we would be likely to do in any other article? Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:36, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, we should take extra care that featured articles as many new users look up to them to see how they're meant to be formatted and usually think that format is okay. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 22:23, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd assume the trail markings are enough to find the artworks, and they seem to be named on the map, so I think the images are needed more for telling the reader what to expect than for use on the trail. For that it is enough to have examples, and perhaps a few that give examples on how you can "use" the artwork. –LPfi (talk) 10:00, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It sounds like you guys are agreeable with removing the rest of the galleries and having only single thumbnails; is that correct? If so, let's make the changes. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:42, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, go ahead. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 22:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I just removed the remainder of the galleries, other than the one with markings and signposts, which might be OK. The article still might violate Image policy, though. What do you all think? Should we delete half the remaining images? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:18, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * There are still way too many images and I feel very skeptical of featuring an article that's a blatant violation of a simple Wikivoyage policy. Leaving the images may also encourage new editors to well, add a whole slew of galleries because a featured article contained them. Feel free to delete half the remaining images. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 23:21, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
 * How is it now? Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Looking much better! However, I think the signposts/markings gallery should also go too. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 02:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Let's talk about that. From Image policy: "Image galleries are discouraged, and should only be considered for showing multiple examples of a specific topic (for example, in describing flora and fauna or cuisine – but not attractions)." How does that apply to signposts/markings? Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:40, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I thought the reason why we discouraged such galleries was because these chew up data and are slow to load, especially in places with poor reception. The reason why I'm okay with these in cuisine articles is because nobody prints these out, and many will read these articles before they're going to that destination (e.g. if I'm going to say Franconia, I would read Franconian cuisine before leaving to Franconia, but I wouldn't print it out, nor would I want to read it in Franconia)
 * Also, from experience last Saturday (18 June), just the map in Telangana took at least 10 seconds to load while I was on the road with poor 4G signal. If that one image took so long to load, then how long do you think it'll take for the gallery to load? SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 03:09, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I was thinking of it as a matter of style, and I see your point. So maybe select 1 or 2 of the best images from that bunch to use as thumbnails, possibly deleting another one in the process. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
 * On hold until issues are settled. /Yvwv (talk) 09:39, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Slush? This nomination has quietly been sitting since June. The last remaining gallery issue will likely remain unsolved as the reasons for keeping the gallery equal the reasons for removing it. SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 07:08, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I feel like the number of images are OK now. However, I would not object to someone selecting one or two photos from that gallery and deleting the gallery, and I don't think anyone else will object. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I removed the gallery and kept two images. With my browser window width (which seems to be the minimum for the pagebanner menu to work), there is now one to three images per screenful, likewise with Vector-2022 (the to-be (?) default skin) and maximised window. With maximised window and Monobook, there are still a bit too many images at the start of Walk, but I don't think that's a major issue. –LPfi (talk) 09:46, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I moved one image up for slightly better spacing. What are people thinking of this article now; should we run it? Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:19, 5 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support --Ypsilon (talk) 11:17, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support Mrkstvns (talk) 23:03, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Outcome: FTT for June 2024. -- SHB2000  (t &#124; c &#124; m) 05:47, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

North West River

 * Close per my comment. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 10:07, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - it would be nice to have some more photos, but the Commons category doesn't have much. Ypsilon (talk) 18:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Bonn

 * Close per comment. Ypsilon (talk) 19:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Support (updates & fixes made) --Ypsilon (talk) 15:43, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support (per nom), excellent quality article. Mrkstvns (talk) 20:01, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

Outcome: DotM for June 2024. -- SHB2000  (t &#124; c &#124; m) 02:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

E8 through Finland and Norway

 * Comment: We hopefully have the Archipelago Trail in May–June, and if this is to be featured in (Nordic) summer, to avoid darkness and icy roads, I think it comes too close. Perhaps 2022 2023? If for some reason there are problems with the Archipelago Trail this could of course be a backup. –LPfi (talk) 10:56, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I introduced the guideline that a nomination should be intended to feature within the coming 12 months. This is more a requirement for quality, than for available spots. We should preferrably have a backlog of nominated high-quality articles, so we can afford to choose the most suitable article, with regard to factors such as climate, holidays, public events and safety. /Yvwv (talk) 15:03, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * May to June would be a great time to feature, for the Midnight Sun. That would make us wait until 2023, unless we run E8 instead of the Archipelago Trail. /Yvwv (talk) 21:13, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer to keep this until 2023, since the Archipelago Trail is more developed than this one. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:56, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree, but I take the opportunity to ask: what should be done to improve this article, except developing the listed articles, and perhaps doing some more research on the bus and bike options? –LPfi (talk) 09:37, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, nothing major needs to be done, at least from what I've noticed (more specific to this article), but maybe an infobox or two would be nice, but we've plenty of guide and star articles without them. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 09:59, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
 * For May-June 2023 we can also consider Swedish Empire, during the 500th anniversary of Sweden's independence. That article also has several destinations in Finland. /Yvwv (talk) 15:52, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. This road isn't going to disappear in the near future, it can be featured any year. If we get somebody writing about the Ostrobothnian destinations before that, it'd be a big bonus. I know them only superficially. –LPfi (talk) 16:39, 16 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Support. The article is great overall, though it should be proofread by a native English speaker for better flow in the language. /Yvwv (talk) 17:39, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Support, although I'd like more eyes on the article. I notice that the first empty slot is June 2023, which would be ideal. Of the linked places along the route and suggested sidetrips, it seems most are usable and several guides, half a dozen are redlinks and half a dozen outlines. I don't think a traveller needs to stop at destinations without usable articles. The biking option might need to be checked at some point, I just followed the cycleways and roads on the map and tried to judge their usability – but there is an Eurovelo route more or less along this itinerary. –LPfi (talk) 15:26, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If the Swedish Empire is featured in May, this should probably be postponed. Comments on how to improve it are welcome. –LPfi (talk) 07:40, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - I don't find anything to complain about in the article. --Ypsilon (talk) 08:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Bethlehem (Pennsylvania)

 * Very close - many listings need coordinates, and some photos in the latter half of the article would be nice. Ypsilon (talk) 21:03, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Getting there... everything that's now listed exists, I just deleted the places that have closed. Some sleep listings need descriptions, but I'll try to handle that during the weekend... --Ypsilon (talk) 18:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Close per your comment. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 23:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I removed this off the schedule from September to prevent two back-to-back features from the same country (3 if you include Aviation history in the United States). How festive is this town during the Christmas–New Year season? -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 12:42, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Tirana

 * Very close. A few restaurants and listings need descriptions and coordinates, but that's about it. Most of the listings date to Oct 2021, so it should be fairly up to date. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 20:24, 28 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Almost What SHB2000 said, some coordinates are missing, a couple of listings don't have a description. Some more photos would be nice. I guess the article is reasonably up to date, because I see "as of 2022" here and there. --Ypsilon (talk) 05:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There are many undated listings, which means they were added before 2015. Ground Zero (talk) 21:09, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support, probably. Yesterday and today I ran all of the listings through Google Maps. Some more photos here and there wouldn't hurt. Also, the detailed bus schedules from 2021 could be deleted... or kept to give the reader an approximate idea of whether they can expect one or ten buses a day from a certain place to Tirana. Ypsilon (talk) 20:34, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Volcanoes

 * Close - the Understand parts look good, for the individual volcanoes I think we could tell readers if it's possible/allowed/safe to get close to it (briefly - the details about individual tour companies, ticket prices and such can be left to the destination articles) or if they can only be seen from a distance. --Ypsilon (talk) 20:50, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I checked the ten first listings and I think there is adequate information. We shouldn't include info that varies from one year to the next – that info should go into the main listing – and active volcanos vary in their activity. I assume the extinct volcanos listed can be visited. –LPfi (talk) 21:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Close per Ypsi. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 21:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - Looks highly useful, and I agree with User:LPfi that details like whether it is open or not are best left to the destination articles. The listings have a perfect level of detail as is. Mrkstvns (talk) 23:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Is there still something important missing or something that should be changed? Some of the descriptions are unnecessarily short, but the article doesn't need to be star to be featured – and of the 100+ listings many are indeed adequate. –LPfi (talk) 19:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Nah, it LGTM now. Thanks for helping to improve it! -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 20:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, I guess interested readers will also check out the destination article for information about visiting the volcano of choice and what to expect before going there. So I could as well support the article. --Ypsilon (talk) 04:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Hagi

 * Close per comment. Ypsilon (talk) 19:37, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Support per nomination. Mrkstvns (talk) 21:46, 29 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Support The article has recently been updated, and looks good. I spent a night at Hagi Youth Hostel in 2005 and visited the castle, but didn't fully explore the city - I now know what I missed! AlasdairW (talk) 22:16, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * per Alasdair. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 05:30, 29 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Support I've worked to add destinations to the city and to bulk up some of the other sections. I think the article has now doubled in size. If there is anything lacking, please let me know. I'll try to fill in the gaps. ChubbyWimbus (talk) 12:20, 29 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Excellent work, ChubbyWimbus and others. Support. --Ypsilon (talk) 13:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Addis Ababa

 * Comment: although the war only ended last month and was over a thousand kilometres from Addis Ababa, I think we should wait till late 2023 to feature this (but we'll probably feature this in late 2023 due to the scheduling anyway). I haven't read the article since I last nominated it, but I can remember it was looking good to go at the time. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 10:54, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Many of the listings are dated 2017, or are undated, so they are probably even older. I don't think that nominating articles that are out of date is a good use of time. Ground Zero (talk) 23:01, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There has been peace for almost a year now, and it's not like we've featured African articles too often (especially not DotMs), so how about running this in April 2024? Will try to remember to check the listings some time before that. Ypsilon (talk) 19:51, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The listings and Get in/Get around info are not yet checked and updated, it seems. –LPfi (talk) 08:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've now ran all listed places through Google Maps, and updated the get and around sections as much as possible using the Internet. --Ypsilon (talk) 17:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Neither the article's lead paragraph nor the blurb explain why a reader should want to visit the city. Ground Zero (talk) 17:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * ✅ --Ypsilon (talk) 17:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Culturally significant landscapes in Jaén

 * Very close - at a quick glance the article looks good apart from some kind of code error halfway down the article. Ypsilon (talk) 18:54, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Achtung.png Needs work. I just had a read through this article: it's nice that it describes what's on that route in a detailed manner, but I find the lack of any information on the practical aspects of the route, such as road/rail conditions, getting between the points listed in each section, problematic. If/when this is fixed, I'll potentially support. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 11:35, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * According to Culturally_significant_landscapes_in_Jaén "The route is designed to be done in a private vehicle." and "some of the places indicated in the route may not be accessible by public transport", and in the region there doesn't seem to be too many bus stops neither on Google maps nor Openstreetmap. --Ypsilon (talk) 17:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Iquitos

 * Support following recent updates. /Yvwv (talk) 13:19, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Schedule for March? Guanajuato has yet to get any support vote, and the article has some issues. Would anyone else support Iquitos? /Yvwv (talk) 12:43, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I would not support featuring anything from Peru until the civil unrest settles down. March is way too soon, and by how it's going, it seems the protests won't go away anytime in the near future. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 12:46, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * English-speaking media no longer mention the unrest in Peru, and wikipedia:Timeline of the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests English Wikipedia mentions no incidents for the last two weeks. Could anyone proficient in Spanish make a check-up of the current situation? /Yvwv (talk) 00:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * According to my reading of Convulsión social de Perú de 2022-presente it seems the protests calmed down temporarily in middle-February, but there was to be a great march to Lima on 13 March. My Spanish is not that good, but I conclude that the situation is still very volatile. –LPfi (talk) 09:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The article now says that the unrest ended in "mid March" (the 24th). –LPfi (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Support Mrkstvns (talk) 17:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Tucson

 * Some work needed - per my comment. --Ypsilon (talk) 15:08, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Support but it needs work right now, most info is 2017 or earlier, eg "Old Tucson" is long gone. Nevertheless a well-constructed page for an interesting destination. March / April is a good time to feature, it was already damned hot when I was last there this May. Grahamsands (talk) 19:52, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I just went through the article, and almost everything was still in business/had functioning websites (I think I had to delete just one restaurant), so let's run the article tomorrow. For the Old Tucson part, the article does say that "much of the barrio was destroyed when the Tucson Convention Center was built. " --Ypsilon (talk) 19:24, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Singapore Changi Airport

 * Support. The article looks very good, and the airport seems amazing! It would be good to bring the article up to star status with a few more good photos and some minor tweaking. I think it's not far from being a star. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support, though this article won't be run until late 2024 since we only recently featured Singapore/Orchard. Can't see anything missing from this (from my own personal experience) but agree that a few more photos would be desirable. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 00:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. Great airport & a fine article. Pashley (talk) 02:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. per Pashley. Veracious (talk) 04:18, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Puerto Morelos

 * Some work needed per comment. --Ypsilon (talk) 19:28, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Needs work – Achtung.png missing coordinates, addresses and lastedit fields. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 00:19, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I spent a few hours on this article. Cleaned up the English a bit, verified all listings, removed places that were out of business (and added a few new ones to replace them), added coordinates, addresses, and lastedit fields. I think it's looking better. Do you guys see anything else that needs updating? Mrkstvns (talk) 02:51, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Great work! One thing to fix are several bullet points in See that are more of activities (swimming, diving etc.) and should be moved to the Do section, in fact those that are already described in the Do section could be deleted. Ypsilon (talk) 20:42, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've taken a stab at moving activities from "See" to "Do". Hope it's an improvement! Mrkstvns (talk) 18:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, now it looks great. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 03:06, 4 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Support Didn't say it when deleting the "needs fixes" part in the schedule above a few hours ago, but thanks to the recent edits by Mrkstvns the article is now most certainly ready to be showcased on the main page in February. --Ypsilon (talk) 15:53, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support The article seems complete to me and I like the town because it is quite UN-commercial compared to neighboring Cancun. (I find the DoTM banner for it to be amusing because I don't recall seeing a picture of their iconic leaning light shown from a perspective that makes it look like its standing upright. Good banner though! Mrkstvns (talk) 18:20, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Sucre

 * Almost – a few see listings need descriptions, but that is relatively minor and this article can run as it is if it has to. Would love a feature from Bolivia! -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 06:32, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * The "History" section also needs an update, as it doesn't seem to have been updated since the coup that ousted Evo Morales. I just changed one "is" to "was", but that's not enough. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:13, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This article seems too good to be slushed, but the nomination hasn't received one support vote during the four months since it was nominated. Should it remain on the schedule? --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 14:13, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
 * This article has remained as is since, and I don't feel too comfortable running it during March when the issues raised by have not been fixed. I'm going to remove this off the schedule for the timebeing; feel free to revert me (but please let me know) once the issues have been fixed. In the meantime, I'll look for another article that could fit in the March section. Perhaps British Columbia?  SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 07:19, 12 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Comment - Slush or not? I mean, some listings need more descriptions (the same issue as almost a year ago) but overall the article looks tidy and all listings have coordinates. The question is how up to date it is. --Ypsilon (talk) 14:24, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I can support it now after updating the article, mainly deleting listings of places that don't exist, dead links and those bus prices that were at least 10 years old. The history section which was mentioned above could be expanded if someone wants to, but I don't see it as a requirement. The article is going on the main page next week. --Ypsilon (talk) 20:49, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I would like to support this nomination. It's quite a good article and an interesting city that many travelers may not be aware of. Mrkstvns (talk) 18:16, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Chinese phrasebook

 * Close - may need more or less work, depending on if we think the audio clips are necessary. Ypsilon (talk) 15:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: If we want audio clips, it's best to get someone from northern China. Although I am fluent, my Singaporean accent comes out very strongly when I speak Mandarin, and Chinese people who are not familiar with the Singaporean accent will usually think I am from Guangdong. It's analogous to how even though my English is fluent, it still has a Singaporean accent and doesn't sound anything like King's English. The dog2 (talk) 16:04, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is some tradition to feature a phrasebook in the beginning of the year. Not sure whether it is rational; we might have fewer destinations suitable for northern winter. We also tend to have destinations relevant for Chinese New Year for January. In any case, it makes sense to feature this article in January/February. /Yvwv (talk) 20:17, 22 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. Audio clips would be ideal but I think we can feature without them. I'll try to add some photos in the next couple of weeks, and I've rephrased the blurb slightly for tone. —Granger (talk · contribs) 00:37, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Air Itam

 * Almost - some sections, like Do, need to be expanded. --Ypsilon (talk) 19:28, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Tasmania

 * Support as nominator. -- SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 01:32, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: With Queensland and British Columbia we are settling on a standard for featuring state-level destinations. The requirements are similar as for cities, but slightly different; the listing of venues in a state can hardly be complete. /Yvwv (talk) 17:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to the Landmarks section? SHB2000  (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta) 22:57, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
