A long-time goal of the WP:BOND project. It started out at full speed, with 12 GAs in 2007 (one being promoted to FA, Casino Royale) and 7 in 2008. Then for a while the editing didn't progress - Dr. No and Goldfinger even got demoted... but then this year me and SchroCat (with help from User:Betty Logan and User:Dr. Blofeld) decided to not only return the Good status of those two but to fill the remaining gaps of the topic, including the non-EON films (one of which is not here for being a TV episode) and the lead article (and eventually, a PR for when the 23rd EON film was finally confirmed). Now it's a complete set, just waiting for its inclusion on the Good Topics. (which will demand a celebration with shaken, not stirred martinis!) --igordebraga 18:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(1) I've added italics to the titles. (2) I don't think you need the sub-headings (Eon and non-Eon) since subheading don't seem to be used in FT/GT boxes. Chronological order would do for them, I think; distinctions about who produced what can be left to the articles/the list. (3) I'm not a great fan of the image: a photo of a waxwork of another waxwork one of Britain's finest actors, but he was only one of the Bonds. Perhaps a more generic image such as File:Dr No trailer.jpg? (4) The book report shows one dead link on Casino Royale (2006). (5) Perhaps most importantly, can you explain why James Bond in film isn't included? It looks to be a natural part of the topic. BencherliteTalk 19:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that was here because it's a free image of one of the Bond actors as 007 himself. But replaced with the gunbarrel. After splitting List of James Bond films (list of movies) from James Bond in film (overview of the series), both could serve as the lead, and we chose the former as the latter is still undergoing a revamp. Maybe the series article can be put here as an additional nom later. igordebraga 20:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this topic meets the requirements as it is a complete listing of the episodes of a single television series' first season, which limits it to a well-defined and intuitive scope. The articles follow a relatively tight formation and bear close structural resemblance to each other, reading as clearly related articles meant to be viewed in a series, although each stands alone and presents its information without expecting the reader to understand the topic as a whole. --GRAPPLE X 21:48, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This topic meets the good topic criteria, well, because all the articles in the topic are good articles. This hurricane season featured two storms that killed more than 100 people each, and is somewhat unique in that aspect. I'd appreciate you support. Thanks! --HurricaneFan25 22:26, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
