Withdrawn

Gameplay

Withdrawn as it is already featured. Oops! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 01:52, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Was approved as a Good Article in December-January 2010-11, but never received Featured Article status. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Gameplay)

Against Just seems a bit redundant. Its a link to other pages, not a page in itself. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:23, 23 August 2012 (BST)

I'm with Ross. Very nicely formatted. Useful information. But it's more or less a summary page, rather than being something unique unto itself. All of the information it talks about is better stated somewhere else. —Aichon— 00:17, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Articles voted in GA should be grandfathered in. ~ _{00:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Why? Especially so in this one's case, since there was quite a bit of opposition to it in its initial nomination. It's a good page, no doubt. It should probably be permanently linked from the front page as a useful beginner's resource. But it's not awesome by any means or worthy of being featured. —Aichon— 01:12, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Because every other Good Article is featured except for these two. I'm sure there were other GAs that squeaked by that are on the featured list. ~ _{01:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

That kinda sounds like "just because" rather than because the article actually has merit justifying that it be featured. Is there any argument based on the article's merit for why it should be featured instead of permanently linked from the front page? As I said, it's definitely a good article, but I can see why it stayed in limbo there, since there's nothing noteworthy about it that justifies featuring it. —Aichon— 01:31, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Actually I just checked and it is already featured. Bob must have overlooked it. ~ _{01:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

It was never marked with the template or protected for some reason. I still think it's silly that it's featured instead of permanently linked though. It's a great summary that should always be readily accessible to newcomers, yet it isn't a singularly awesome page that deserves the sort of featuring that FA offers. —Aichon— 01:50, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Major oops. Although if there are enough objections it can be re-submitted as a proposed withdraw from Featured Article status. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 01:52, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Okay, I've put this article up for review below due to the concerns raised above. Please comment there. Thanks! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 03:14, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Zombie Hunter skills

Withdrawn as it's been moved to Headshot and is now poorly designed (and incomplete, see comments) for that article. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 14:16, 24 August 2012 (BST)

See Civilian skills. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Zombie Hunter skills)

Alter Personally, I'd love to Move this to Headshot instead of the other way around. Then I'd keep it, as its historic. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:29, 23 August 2012 (BST)

And it needs a monroeville extension. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:30, 23 August 2012 (BST)
