Here is the fifth season of The X-Files. This was the last season filmed in Vancouver and lead up to the 1998 feature film. This season produced some real gems ("The Post-Modern Prometheus", "Bad Blood") and some real stinkers ("Chinga", "Schizogeny"), but it's good nonetheless. I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' fifth season, which limits it to a well-defined scope. The articles follow a solid formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other. In addition, the individual episode pages read as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, but also stand on their own and present their information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --Gen.

This is a class of two French pre-dreadnought battleships - both saw some action during World War I and were disposed of after the end of the conflict. This topic is part of this master topic for French battleships, which is of course a sub-component of WP:OMT. Parsecboy (talk) 15:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

The second season of The X-Files. This is when the series started to slowly move from being a cult Friday night favorite to a primetime hit. There's several really notable episodes in this group, including "The Host", whose antagonist (basically, a huge anthropomorphic tapeworm) went on to be heavily associated with the show. I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a listing of all the episodes that aired during the television series' ninth season, which limits it to a well-defined scope. The articles follow a solid formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other. In addition, the individual episode pages read as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, but also stand on their own and present their information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --Gen.

• Support. Although I haven't reviewed many, I have gone through these articles, and believe they are all up to GA quality. Congrats! TBrandley 00:35, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
• Comment "Sleepless" and "Duane Barry" have been GA for quite a while, and their reception sections don't quite have the same structure as the others. "Sleepless" especially looks slight. Glimmer721 ^talk 21:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

  Good catch. I'll add some of the Shearman and Pearson reviews ASAP.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 03:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

  OK, I tried re-arranging and beefing them up. How do they look now?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:52, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Comment Irresistible (The X-Files)‎ has a dead link in it. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:08, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

It's weird... the link isn't even dead, so I removed the tag. Fixed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 02:46, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey all, just like my prior Hugo Award FT, here's the topic for the Nebula Awards, American written sci-fi's Emmys. It consists of the GA lead article and the five FL current and former categories, and I don't anticipate any problems with it. The image is just a galaxy similar to the logo, as I can't find any directly-related free-use images. Thanks for checking it out! --PresN 23:48, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

• Comment. There seems to be room for a wider overview of the awards (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, List of joint winners of the Hugo and Nebula awards, The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume One, 1929–1964 and The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two); renaming this "Nebula Award categories" would alleviate this concern and allow room for future expansion. Other than that I'm satisfied with this. GRAPPLE X 01:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
• Support I note the comment above, but this seems to be a self-contained unit as it stands, and I think the current name is clear enough. I can see that there is potential for future expansion, but that's not an obstacle to the present nom Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:42, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

It would be nice to get more votes on this before we get a decision. GamerPro64 20:57, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

• Would be nice to see the GA have an ACCESS-compliant table. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

• Done- it just needed the col and row scopes, yeah? --PresN 21:15, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

• Bingo! The Rambling Man (talk) 07:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
