Guides/Review

Shortcut:
G/R

This page is for the community review of new guides. This is so the Guides page does not get filled up with nonsensical guides (like it was at one point,) and that there is a minimum standard of quality on the Guides page. Guides which pass this review have a template added to the page ({{GuideReviewed}}) and featured guides will have {{FeaturedGuide}} added to the page. Guides which do not pass a community review will not be added to the Guides page, but may still carry [[Category:Guides]]. This is so that guides that are deemed good and worthy by the community are easily findable by newer players, while less accurate guides can still be found, but aren't presented as prominently.

Guides are reviewed through a voting process. There are three eligible votes:

• Support - to indicate support for the guide's inclusion on the page
• Abstain - to not formally vote, but still offer input on the discussion
• Against - to indicate disapproval for the guide's inclusion on the page

After two weeks, the votes will be tallied.

• A guide which has more than 75% Support will be placed at a "Featured Guides" section at the top of the guides page
• A guide which has more than 50% Support will be placed on the page, in the appropriate section (survivor, zombie, or player killer.)
• A guide which has less than or equal to 50% Support will not be placed on the page
• Guides which don't attract any votes will not be placed on the page

General criteria which should be considered before a guide is included on the page are:

1. Formatting - There must be no obvious formatting errors in the text. The guide must work in all major browsers
2. Accuracy - The guide must be accurate
3. Clarity - The guide must be easy to read, with no obvious spelling or grammar errors.

If you are writing a guide and want feedback before taking it to review, please read the Developing Guides page.

Please note that neutrality and civility are not requirements.

Voting

Please add {{Guidesvoting}} on the guide before nominating it. Please inform the author if they are still active and can easily be found.

Guides:Guide to Forming Groups Part 2

Cheers. --Penguinpyro 01:20, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Against

1. The Recruits section is hopelessly smug, except for the "Badass" part, which is more kiss ass than anything. Yeah, call them all bad-asses, but in your mind categorize them as 11 different types of losers. Nice. Most of the Active Defense section is horrendously biased and just wrong on so many levels. Your idea of trenchies I find...interesting. These days I'm finding Trenchy and Survivor to be interchangeable terms. But congrats, I'm sure this one will go over big as well.--

Guides:Guide to Forming Groups

Here you go. --Penguinpyro 03:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Support

2. I like it a lot. Most groups don't even think about half of this stuff. TibbarRm 23:30, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
3. It was a long, but informative read and pretty clear on all aspects. I approve of part one at least.       04:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
4. I'd think about dropping the Part 1 from the title and just going with your favorite version of "General Guide for Forming Groups" or whatever personally. Long but useful. -MHSstaff 14:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

   Would that be possible? Changing the name and all after I've put it up for review?--Penguinpyro 20:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

   Personally, I doubt it matters. You could probably wait until after though. No one is going to give you grief (or should) for making the title something that you are happy with. -MHSstaff 20:40, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

   Yeah for sure, I could do it anytime and fix the links, even during the vote. No one would notice the difference. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 01:38, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

5. As above. The length isn't too much of an issue 'cause it's usually the experienced players who start groups. -- †  talk ? f.u. 14:07, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

   My thoughts were that if players don't have the patience to read at least the better parts, they certainly don't have the patience to make a decent group.--Penguinpyro 20:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

   true, that. -- †  talk ? f.u. 13:32, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

7. Length wasn't an issue at all for me because it covered pretty much everything. Very good read. --Met Fan ^F 23:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
8. You've cleaned up the formatting very nicely. The content seems pretty good as well, so I'd say, "way to go!" ~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:49, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
9. I like. I don't like all the swearing and such, but I'm never going to avoid that in anything ever. Now if only someone would write a Death-Cultist/Zombie Group Guide... as if... --Espemon333 02:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
10. Very nice. Me like. Smyg 12:42, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Abstain

Obvious bandwagon is obvious - no one against, and 10 for it for the statisticians. Featured. -- Spiderzed▋ 17:59, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
