This is a small and recently discovered genus of rodents from Madagascar. The articles on the genus and the three species are all GAs. I intend to submit the lead article and that on V. gymnocaudus to FAC, so that this topic can become a FT. --Ucucha 09:46, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- I forgot to add—if desired, the article on Andreacarus voalavo (a parasitic mite that is only found on Voalavo gymnocaudus) can be included. I would prefer not to have it, since it is not clearly a subtopic of Voalavo (it could be found on other species, for example). Ucucha 10:05, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
- Voalavo gymnocaudus is now an FA. Voalavo will probably be my next FAC; if that passes, this will fulfil the FT criteria. Ucucha 12:25, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support. Clearly a well-defined category; I do not support the addition of Andreacarus voalavo as this is currently purely for the genus. I know Voalavo antsahabensis is a decent article, as I'm the one who passed it, and the other two, after a brief look through, are looking very nice. File:Voalavo range.svg could be the picture for this category? J Milburn (talk) 10:57, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've added the map; it's not very good-looking at this resolution but better than nothing. Ucucha 11:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to promote this but would like another comment or two just to make sure nothing's missing. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support - all looks OK to me....... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:17, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Since Voalavo is currently at FAC, I'm just going to wait so that this can be promoted as an FT, if that's alright. Makes it easier on both ends I think. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 00:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sure. Forgot to note here that I had brought it to FAC. Ucucha 00:08, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Voalavo just passed FAC, so this can now become an FT. Ucucha 04:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I've been working on this for a while, and now that the last reviews are closed it's ready for FTC. This encompases the company Thatgamecompany, its two founders, and the games made by/owned by the company. 4/7 FAs makes it featured; Journey is unreleased but has received a finished peer review. Image is of Chen; it's the only free-use image I have. --PresN 20:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support do not appear to be any gaps in coverage. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 20:34, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support: meets all featured topic criteria. Great work. For the sake of full disclosure: I was a copyeditor on three of these articles. Shouldn't make much of a difference, but I figured I should make it clear. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 21:03, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support igordebraga ≠ 01:11, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Could you add the newly implemented
|deadurl=noto all non-dead links for citations, so the primary link for readers remains the original (example)? The Chen's image does not really represent the whole topic, rather Jenova Chen, partially Thatgamecompany and partially games. It sucks that the fair use company's logo image cannot be used here, so I don't really have a solution. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Deadurls are done. I don't have any other free-use images for the topic, so unless someone wants to whip up an svg of a hand like their logo or something... --PresN 18:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- I would prefer no image to just Chen's image. But otherwise, support. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 19:01, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - re: the image, couldn't you crop File:Cloud Team.jpg to focus on just Santiago and Chen (who conveniently happen to be next to each other)? I know nothing about the subject area, but the article suggests they were the company's two founders, so would that not be an appropriate image.......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:56, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support, congrats on completing the topic. Axem Titanium (talk) 01:59, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support The image doesn't bother me as TV seasons use single writers, for example. Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:14, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Wait a minute, why isn't Robin Hunicke included? Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- She isn't a founder of the company. She's an employee hired a couple of years ago; her article contains only two sentences about her working at thatgamecompany. She's primarily notable right now for her work at EA, mainly Boom Blox and The Sims 2. If after Journey is released the media notes her as critical to the game's success and to the company, I'd gladly GA and add her to the topic, but right now I don't think she fits. --PresN 06:50, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Her article opens with "Robin Hunicke is the producer at thatgamecompany."; ref states that she "is our Producer Extraordinaire". I'm not too knowledgable about video games, but isn't being the producer a bid deal? Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:15, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- The company only has one producer at a time, since they only make one game at a time, and they make up their own titles. --PresN 16:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

- I would say Hunicke is currently only a related "topic". She is currently notable for other work other than TGC and would probably not pass NOTABLE with TGC connection alone. Then again, if she was included (at some point, such as, Journey release), it would be fine. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:27, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Fair point, re-supporting. Adabow (talk · contribs) 07:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

- Support, great work, well deserved. Of course, it may be a hard topic to keep up to standard if they increase the speed they produce games, but good luck anyway! J Milburn (talk) 23:51, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support Not sure why Journey isn't a FA or GA, but hard work shouldn't go unrewarded. —Terrence and Phillip 05:37, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support to the comment above me, a yet-to-be-released game would never meet the stability requirements for either FA or GA. Courcelles 03:26, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

Parks and Recreation (season 3)
edit
17 articles
Parks and Recreation seasons one and two, and I've been working on this topic all season. (Separately, I also have Parks and Recreation nominated for GA.) All the articles are GA now, so I believe the topic is ready. — Hunter Kahn 14:06, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support. I can't believe you have it done already! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

- support Funnies season of P&R, wish they would show Donna more. That gurl is hil-larious. — Legolas (talk2me) 06:22, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

5 articles
Hi, I believe these five articles are comprehensive and detail about American recording legend Madonna's first remix album, You Can Dance. — Legolas (talk2me) 11:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support. The topic has all possible articles (singles, non-released tracks) at GA status and has organized them from importance to alphabetical order. Good work! Crystal Clear x3 00:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support Complete topic. Adabow (talk · contribs) 22:47, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Almost all images contains ALText on this topic, excepting some at "Into the Groove" and "Holiday". Concistency needed. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 06:31, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- I added the alt texts. Anything else you see? — Legolas (talk2me) 06:43, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- You Can Dance is not mentioned on Everybody (Madonna song), unlike the other three articles. This is not an issue to this GC, nor a major problem to those articles, but I believe "Everybody" should cite YCD. ۞ Tbhotch™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 07:13, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
- I added that, don;t know why that was removed. — Legolas (talk2me) 07:19, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
