  2. - Yep. Although its missing the top level of decay. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 19:10, 3 July 2009 (BST)

  1. Yeah i like it, but it looks like rubbish and if you are well versed in the game would be quite confusing. I think this'd lower teh standard of good articles.--xoxo 18:53, 3 July 2009 (BST)

Successful - god this is late. Linkthewindow  Talk  07:51, 20 July 2009 (BST)


Zombie

Out of all the character class pages I think this one is the best written one. It's in-depth, clear and very useful to new players. -- Cheese 21:56, 16 May 2009 (BST)

Yes

  1. As per above. -- Cheese 19:07, 15 May 2009 (BST)

Battle of Blackmore

Normally I don't like POV stuff, but I really liked this. Pure class. It's already gotten through Category:Historical Events voting which already says something about its quality and significance.

Yes

Place votes of support here with reasons

  1. Yes please. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:42, 9 May 2009 (BST)
  2. It's awesome. Utterly POV, but it's so far gone that it doesn't actually matter anymore. Once it's obvious, it's almost neutral; because the reader adjusts it in their mind. Plus the fact that it's hilarious.--Ryvyoli Y R 22:41, 9 May 2009 (BST)
  3. I echo the above sentiments. Its not NPOV, but then it doesn't even try to be. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 22:50, 9 May 2009 (BST)

The Fall of Monroeville Mall

Because in all honesty its probably the best article about Monroeville that exists. Because the event in question (Easy zombie win) was part of the reasoning behind the permaheadshot rule change.--RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 12:56, 3 May 2009 (BST)

Yes

  • Successful - Article is really well written and deserves to get Good Article status. -- Cheese 15:27, 11 May 2009 (BST)

Rat Tactics

Developed independently of the similarly themed, if more well known, Hiding in Plain Sight page. Rat Tactics predates that -- just barely. These are the tactics that helped us survive, even sometimes almost thrive, during the March of the Dead. And anyone who says it was because of Kevan boosting syringe rates just wasn't there, surviving... rat style. --WanYao 20:08, 30 April 2009 (BST)

User:Grim s/Grims guide to staying alive

Controversial, influential and mostly dead on the money -- if a bit, uh, overly cynical and at times quite over the top. Kinda like good ole Grim himself.... --WanYao 20:08, 30 April 2009 (BST)

Yes

Place votes of support here with reasons

  1. I nominated the gorram thing --WanYao 19:58, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  2. I was never a huge fan of Grim but this amused me. -- Cheese 14:48, 2 May 2009 (BST)
  3. A great piece of work. --Pestolence(talk) 23:38, 3 May 2009 (BST)
  4. Influenced my later guide (which is in need of a rewrite,) and a good guide for newer players, if it is a bit aggressive. Very nice piece of work. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:42, 7 May 2009 (BST)

No

Place votes against here with reasons

  • Successful - While Grim may be gone, his sense of humour will live on. -- Cheese 10:53, 8 May 2009 (BST)

First Siege of Caiger Mall

Pretty well written article, it's got plenty of information in it and it's pretty interesting to read. Particularly since Caiger has a lot of history and this was the first major siege that occurred in front of it. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)

Yes

Place votes of support here with reasons

  1. As per reasoning above. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)
  2. Although can we not replace those pesky red links with simple bolded text? --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:03, 29 April 2009 (BST)
  3. This is arguably the most important allusion to UD's past, and a very popular one. I agree with Rosslessness- if this does get chosen, we should simply bold the dead links. -- Lorddragonfang  Talk 00:04, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  4. Yes - but kill those red links with bolded text or undelete the pages. Also - as above. Linkthewindow  Talk  09:51, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  5. Yuh. Some history is dead, but we can still record it ;) --WanYao 19:53, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  6. I like this page, I suggested this on UDWiki_talk:Featured_Articles. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:18, 1 May 2009 (BST)
  7. As all above, but I'm going to remove the red links as Ross suggested. Really annoying. --Pestolence(talk) 23:52, 3 May 2009 (BST)

No

  • Successful - Red links aside, this wins. =) -- Cheese 10:53, 8 May 2009 (BST)

NecroWatch

Main page for the NecroWatch project which is a good mix of fluff, encourages survivors to take risks and be proactive, and in its mission tries to get more people to contribute to the Wiki. Quote from extropymine during original discussion about Featured Articles. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)

Yes

  1. As per reasoning above. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)
  2. One day I will get the cake. I always like A.L.I.C.E. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 20:08, 29 April 2009 (BST)
  3. *coughthecakeisaliecough* Excellently written, creative, well formatted, and useful to boot. Certainly seems like feature material to me. - X:/LorddragonfangCursorBlink.gif [ Talk ]  00:11, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  4. I love the Necrowatch stuff. I am not only saying this because A.L.I.C.E. will open to the doors to the NecroTech facility in which my character is sleeping if I don't. --Cpl Adrian Shephard 00:56, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  5. Very useful service, and should be plugged at every change. Like now. Linkthewindow  Talk  09:51, 30 April 2009 (BST)

Unsuccessful

The Ridleybank Resistance Front

Descriptive, humourous and generally awesome, I think the RRF's is one of the few group pages that really does deserve to be featured. -- Cheese 19:07, 15 May 2009 (BST)

Yes

Place votes of support here with reasons

  1. As per above. -- Cheese 19:07, 15 May 2009 (BST)
  2. I am in agreement, and think we should have at least an example of a group page. Maybe not user pages, but since these are collaborative works and the RRF is long-standing, I don't think we have much to worry about in terms of their quality over time. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 07:20, 16 May 2009 (BST)
  3. As above; also, it's not a bad idea to direct newcomers to "come one, come all" groups to get started. --Blackboard 07:40, 19 May 2009 (BST)

  3. As Jed and Bob. No groups. --Pestolence(talk) 16:06, 16 May 2009 (BST)
  4. I agree with the above, I'll only consider them if the group is inactive (and therefore won't have their page changed afterwards). DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:19, 16 May 2009 (BST)
  5. No. --WanYao 00:10, 17 May 2009 (BST)

Dunell Hills Police Department

One of the BIG groups, I would Suggest RRF but... eh.

Yes

  1. Nice layout, informative, and overall a well designed group page. Also has this:

Penguin12.gif

which is awesome...For the general subject, I think group pages should be nominated here, some of them are real good, but demanding NPOV from a group page obviously doesn't work. --Thadeous Oakley 11:20, 11 May 2009 (BST)

No

  1. NPOV, please. --Haliman - Talk 02:07, 11 May 2009 (BST)
  2. GOOONG!! --WanYao 03:38, 11 May 2009 (BST)
  3. This isn't a featured groups section, it's about articles. Sure, DHPD may be an awesome group, but the page isn't all that notable. Linkthewindow  Talk  08:15, 11 May 2009 (BST)
    That said, I'm not against groups being featured, although that does open up problems with meatpuppets. Linkthewindow  Talk  08:20, 11 May 2009 (BST)
  4. No. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 09:54, 11 May 2009 (BST)

  6. Nope. For the same reason I wouldn't want a user page featured. --Giles Sednik CAPDSWA 15:30, 13 May 2009 (BST)
  7. No, as it's subject to change like user pages. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 21:56, 14 May 2009 (BST)

It's fucking awesome.

Yes

  1. Perhaps the best page on this fair wiki of ours.--xoxo 04:52, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  2. After a lot of deliberation, I have to say yes.--Nallan (Talk) 04:54, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  3. Best page EVARRRR. --Blackboard 01:55, 11 May 2009 (BST)
  4. Extremely weak yes. Get real humour. --Haliman - Talk 02:09, 11 May 2009 (BST)
    Actually, I loled at the Ha Monument. --Haliman - Talk 02:39, 11 May 2009 (BST)
  5. Why not? I mean, seriously if it isn't your cup of tea then fine, but the fact is, a lot of work has obviously gone into it and it is well set out and a bit of a laugh for those who do think that way. Judging by the page views and contributors it obviously generates a bit of interest. It is a "good" article, because most of the articles here are waaaaay worse anyway.--DiscoInferno 08:23, 14 May 2009 (BST)
  6. Brilliant, funny, and well-designed. --Bob Boberton TF / DW 21:56, 14 May 2009 (BST)

No

  1. Too much potty talk, not enough real humour. --WanYao 10:30, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  2. Some of it's funny, but as Wan "lol cawks!!!" isn't really humor. Linkthewindow  Talk  11:08, 10 May 2009 (BST)
    What does that even mean? And what's that got to do with ALiM?--xoxo 09:27, 11 May 2009 (BST)
    What do cocks have to do with ALiM? Who would know... DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 12:59, 11 May 2009 (BST)
    Ohhhh right. Lol i didn't realise cawks = cocks. And me and Nick even had a phone call about it. The closest i could get was that he meant lolcakes, which still didn't make a lot of sense...--xoxo 05:38, 12 May 2009 (BST)
    Wow. And you thought Nick was lame for calling you up about the coup last year. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 07:16, 12 May 2009 (BST)

  3. As Link. --Pestolence(talk) 16:36, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  4. Was never funny. Also Haliman's quip "get real humour" is real humour in of itself. --penis lol i said penis am i funny???????????????? 17:53, 15 May 2009 (BST)
    Your bitterness is real humour, i have missed her.--xoxo 06:24, 16 May 2009 (BST)
    p sure you don't know what bitterness is - its either that or you suck at reading people --Cyberbob 07:47, 16 May 2009 (BST)
  5. Like I attempted to do once upon a time (and I think I shall do again) ALiM needs a clear-out of all the rubbish cock jokes and replaced with genuinely funny articles. Funny block names shouldn't always automatically be made a location, some work should be put into the page to make it more than a stub. -- Cheese 14:42, 17 May 2009 (BST)
  • Unsuccessful - Page needs some work before it can be considered a good article. -- Cheese 14:42, 17 May 2009 (BST)
    Ahem, i assumed this required a straight forward majority. What's the criteria for selection? Since this is an admin page (starts with UDWiki) you can't give one person the ultimate say. Point me towards the part where it says how much suppot you need or whatever...--xoxo 07:24, 18 May 2009 (BST)
    It's not technically a vote, it's similar in nature to a promotion bid (but with an article). If several people have raised points against it becoming a good article then those points should be addressed beforehand, hence allowing for improvement of it. If it was a straight majority then we'd have quite a bit of meat-puppeting going on. =p -- Cheese 08:20, 18 May 2009 (BST)
    Understandable, however with a promotion bid it is clear who you need to woo in order to be sucessful. Who chooses here? Is it you? Or just whoever gets to the article first?--xoxo 08:25, 18 May 2009 (BST)
    At the moment it's mostly me who's been doing it, with DDR getting a few earlier in the week. -- Cheese 08:31, 18 May 2009 (BST)

  2. Given that user pages can be changed to be totally different on the whim of the owner, I don't think it's wise to allow them in. If it was a user sub page dedicated to his game, I'd vote yeah, for sure -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:13 4 May 2009 (BST)
  3. I'm with Pestolence. --Giles Sednik CAPDSWA 20:13, 4 May 2009 (BST)
  4. I <333 this page. But, I have to agree with Boxy. --WanYao 01:43, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  5. As the other naysayers.--xoxo 04:53, 10 May 2009 (BST)
  • Unsuccessful - While the page is unanimously agreed to be awesome, the fact that it is Gnome main user page and liable to change is an issue that should be corrected first. -- Cheese 15:24, 11 May 2009 (BST)

New user template

This page provides helpful information for new users that can allow them to easily customize their own user page. All of the info they need it right in front of them, in a copy-pastable format. All they need to do is decide where to put it and fill in the gaps. --The Shoemaker Talk Red FactionDinosaur.gif 01:47, 1 May 2009 (BST)

Yes

I support the page because I believe it could really help all of the new users that come in all day every day. With customized pages, they can feel free to then get active within the wiki without worrying about their page all the time. Besides, I don't really see, to no one's offense, any pages that actually try to help people on the nominee list right now anyways. --The Shoemaker Talk Red FactionDinosaur.gif 01:50, 1 May 2009 (BST)

  1. I don't support teaching newbies with HTML. This is a wiki. It also has no formatting, hence why it is difficult to read. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:20, 1 May 2009 (BST)

    Reason please, Boxy.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by The shoemaker (talk • contribs) 00:35, 3 May 2009.
    It's title isn't descriptive, and the content is confusing and badly formatted. It's mostly a duplicate of content already in the help section, and what isn't could be covered with a few lines being added to the basic formatting page -- boxy talk • teh rulz 08:08 4 May 2009 (BST)
  3. The page needs a lot of work to be considered even passable. -Karekmaps?! 10:09, 7 May 2009 (BST)
  • Unsuccessful - Page is deemed unsuitable in its present form and needs a lot of work to bring it up to scratch. -- Cheese 16:33, 8 May 2009 (BST)

Pretty interesting and gives background on something that is at the core of our Urban Dead experience. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)

  1. I'm not a fan of this article, and I wrote most of it's current content. Apart from that fact it could very well be wrong in some parts due to my limited knowledge of such functions, the main thing is that I think it reads a bit poorly in some places. Doesn't flow right. A second set of eyes could probably improve it a lot just with some restructure and reordering. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 17:39, 30 April 2009 (BST)

    Weak Yes - It's a hilarious page as it is, but it definitely could be improved, as Link said in the No section. It deserves to be featured, but maybe cleaned up a little first. --Pestolence(talk) 20:21, 30 April 2009 (BST) Changing my vote. --Pestolence(talk) 16:53, 3 May 2009 (BST)

  1. But reluctantly. It's funny, but it's little more then a piss-take at trenchcoaters, without examining common trenchie mistakes, etc. The current page (which is mostly quotes) should be moved off to a subpage and a new page built in it's ashes. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:17, 30 April 2009 (BST)
  2. Not in it's current place. It's not a good example of a glossary page. Move it to somewhere like Trenchcoater Folklore, and place an actual glossary article (including a link to this page) at Trenchcoater, and then I'd change my vote -- boxy talk • teh rulz 04:02 1 May 2009 (BST)
