	I agree with Shane: the Galactica article was good enough to be a featured article as it stands. Of course it's not "perfect", not a single article ever will be: like the constitution they're a "living document" type thing, but we still say "these are the articles we're really proud of". No, I think the running tallies section of "Galatcica" is one of the good parts about it. --[[User:The Merovingian\|The Merovingian]] <sup>([[Special:Contributions/The Merovingian\|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/The Merovingian\|E]])</sup> 17:13, 8 June 2006 (CDT)		I agree with Shane: the Galactica article was good enough to be a featured article as it stands.
