January 2025[edit]

2020 United States presidential election | Result: Silver won the election[edit]

2020 United States presidential election (edit|talk|history|protect|delete|links|watch|logs) – (View discussion)

Proposal[edit]

  1. This topic is a major historical event that is both highly missional for various reasons and highly relevant due to Trump's 2024 victory. Immigrants in cages, botching pandemic responses, election denialism, fake electors, storming the Capitol, the ghost of Hugo Chavez, all covered in detail and extensively cited. What else could you ask for?

  2. Yes, make it so. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 16:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
  3. Given how bad we've historically been at covering "live events", this page stands out to prove that it can be done. Let's promote it. -- Techpriest (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Edward Dutton | Result: Silver[edit]

Demote to silver[edit]

  1. I have now read and cleaned up the page. It appears to be thorough, and is now the top Google search result for "Edward Dutton". Bongolian (talk) 07:21, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
  2. This isn't the kind of article I usually like, but this one looks good. Pizza SLICE.gifDuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW dictator moderator 15:53, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
  3. Ready for silver. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 17:10, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Demote to silver[edit]

  1. I have read and edited the whole page. It is detailed with complete references, so I think it is ready for silver. Bongolian (talk) 07:29, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
  2. Missional and looks pretty good. Pizza SLICE.gifDuceMoosoliniYour friendly RW dictator moderator 15:52, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
  3. Ready for demotion. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 17:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Proposal[edit]

  1. The Issues have been fixed mostly. Aethieizt (talk) 21:22, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
  2. Ironhearts (talk) 14:03, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Status quo[edit]

  1. The page has been barely edited since the last vote closed, so I don't see how the problems are "fixed". Plutocow (talk) 21:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
  2. Carthage (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Mormonism | Result: Promote to bronze[edit]

Mormonism (edit|talk|history|protect|delete|links|watch|logs) – (View discussion)

Promote to bronze or no star[edit]

  1. As it stands, this article contains too many unsourced statements, and some grammatical errors that, in my opinion, disqualify it for its current status. Carthage (talk) 17:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
  2. Despite someone going through the article and inserting way too many "citation needed" templates (holy crap, look at the missionary section), it's a no-brainer to promote this one back to bronze. It needs some work. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 18:00, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
  3. References need cleanup: too many Wikipedia references and too many bare links. Bongolian (talk) 06:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
  4. I don't even think we need a vote for this. GeeJayKWhere all evil dwells Where every lie is true 14:58, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
