Author's opinion:
This article has changed hardly at all since it was on the front page two years ago - it was a great article then - and it's a great article still. After the usual excruciatingly detailed review - it passed with flying colors. If it is no longer considered adequately referenced then this is a solid case of standards creep - which I strongly oppose. The article references LITERALLY every single book that has ever been written about the Moke (I know - I worked with experts on the car - I tracked down and purchased every single book). One of those books is a summary of every single magazine article about the car assembled by enthusiasts. It is simply not possible to refer to more material because in a very real sense - there is no more material. If this article is seriously considered to be underreferenced then an article about this car cannot be allowed to exist. You are arguing for article deletion - not merely de-listing - and that's ridiculous.
The popular culture section has 'crept' a bit since the original FA. If you feel it's too much then you REALLY should simply fix the article rather than trying to get it de-listed. It really pisses me off when editors would rather contribute by destroying than by improving.
I don't understand this perpetual witch-hunt against past featured articles. It's not helpful - and it's exceedingly demoralising to authors.
I don't believe the standards of March 2007 were inadequate - passing it into FA was a good decision - it's still a good decision.

What's going on with File:Unmutual moke3.jpg? There seems to be some dispute over the validity of the license and there's no source given. DrKiernan (talk) 09:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There's one dead link [2] which you may wish to replace with a reliable source. DrKiernan (talk) 12:42, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
