What should the second list be?
[edit]I've been debating with myself over what the second list should be. Some ideas I've had are:
- One from any topic, but something in a subject in which you have not previously nominated a GA, FA, FL, FT or are a member of a related wikiproject.
- A Former Featured List
- A Former Featured List Candidate (but one you did not nominate)
- A list in one of the non-Top 5, but not Bottom 15 topics.
Any ideas? -- Scorpion0422 15:55, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- IMO, I like the first choice. We're already focusing on the underrepresented topics with one of the lists, so leave the other one and keep the choices open. — sephiroth bcr (converse) 02:53, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
- What is the first option supposed to accomplish? Hope that the nominators will spread their interest even more? I think it is a bit overstretched, and that the positive aspects -while neat- are not going to be that useful. Nergaal (talk) 23:54, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Under-represented topics
[edit]So are the "Under-represented topics" the only topics we can choose from? And which of the topics did you not include? Both questions are toward Scorpion0422. -- K. Annoyomous24[c] 03:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- You must pick three lists from three different topics:
- One from an under-represented topic from this list. However, similar to the previous contest, no more than three people can work on the same topic. This rule only applies to this list.
- One from any topic, but something in a subject in which you have not previously nominated a GA, FA, FL, FT or are a member of a related wikiproject.
- One from any topic at all.

When to begin
[edit]I am not sure when to begin. Can I begin now or I have to wait till the tenth.?—Chris! ct 23:19, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
- You can begin whenever you like. You just can not submit FLCs until the tenth. -- Scorpion0422 23:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
A few questions
[edit]I have two questions that I'm curious about.
- Are we allowed to have one of our lists get a peer review, if another is already a FLC?
- For the proposed awards, what are th qualifications for Best list and Best trio of lists?
Thanks --Mr.crabby (Talk) 19:18, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought we are allowed to do number 1. That is what I am doing right now.—Chris! ct 19:27, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I'm also peer reviewing another list from my FLC contest nominations. The rules didn't exactly say that you may not peer review other lists when there is already an FLC. -- SRE.K.A
nnoyomous.L.24[c] 19:29, 12 October 2008 (UTC)- Yeah, I'm hoping we can, but I thought I should make sure before I get started. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 19:32, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- I agree that the rules don't say this isn't allowed; I don't see any problem in it, anyways. If a formal Peer Review wasn't open, then surely people would still ask for input from others? I think it's fine. Gary King (talk) 19:35, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks! --Mr.crabby (Talk) 19:44, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Second round
[edit]Note to the four users with promoted FLs, you can now start submitting FLCs for round 2. -- Scorpion0422 18:23, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
meah
[edit]it would be interested to see what percentage of the lists that got promoted during this contest are debatable FLs with the new changes in order to skew future contests in a more truly productive direction. Nergaal (talk) 08:54, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
