Wikipedia:Historical archive/Refreshing brilliant prose - History and religion

This poll is now closed Filiocht | Blarneyman 12:00, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)

These articles concerning History and Religion were added to Wikipedia:Brilliant prose before the institution of the Nomination system that is presently in use. Moreover, some of them are more than a year old and the standards of wikipedia had (fortunately) improved since then.

Now we call upon all wikipedians to have a say on these articles. You can vote only with your signature for:

• Keep or
• Remove

Please add short comments within parentheses after your vote, and long comments on the talk page.

Within a month, on the new year, the Brilliant prose page will be refreshed according to the voting. Articles with no vote at all will be considered boring and will be removed.

History

It probably needs to be split up in longer pieces, or something. Adam Bishop, Lord Emsworth
