I am nominating this for featured article because it gained its GA status back in May 2013 and has since gone through a peer review that ironed out any of the cracks. It's a comprehensive article on a relatively small topic, making use of all the academic studies on the subject, and I believe that it ably fits all of the FA criteria. It would be great if some reviewers could give it a look and see what they think. Best, Midnightblueowl ( talk) 14:23, 16 August 2013 (UTC) reply
Mostly looking at references and reference formatting for the moment:

Leaning oppose, mostly on the reliability of the Seims source and possible comprehensiveness issues. I'll try to make a more thorough prose examination as time permits.

comprehensivenessscholarly sources. I would be very happy if the article were able to include another academic source or two that support a large portion of the article. Of course, I expect that Doyle White's "The Meaning of "Wicca"" will stay (by far) the leading source for this article. As Midnightblueowl, there doesn't appear to be any other article that give this subject such a full treatment. — Sowlos 09:43, 22 August 2013 (UTC) reply
Minor comprehensiveness and citation particularities aside, there is one other issue which I think should be raised here. On the talk page, there was some discussion about changing the lead image—to a collage of cutouts (literally or via Photoshop) of historical appearances of the word
Wicca, a pile of books about Wicca and contemporary Witchcraft
, something more closely related to words than a piece of jewelery or other religious artefact. —

Considering the problematic issues have been addressed, would any editors out there consider offering this FAC their support? Conversely, are there any other areas in need of improvement ? Midnightblueowl ( talk) 13:34, 7 September 2013 (UTC) reply
