| #'''Yes''' True, there are some sections not filled in, however there is a bulk of information here that is almost unparalleled.

| | *clearly there are no standards for this anymore apparently. Nothing has changed since it failed it's last votwe and it's never been what could be considered a quality contribution to the wiki or an example of exemplary content. It's a bunch of snickering at unfortionate naming conventions for locations. Hell, a large part of why it exists is to explicitly violate three of the four criteria listed here. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 05:58, 20 March 2012 (UTC) |

| #'''No''' - Incomplete articles don't qualify for good article status. When the entire article has been filled out then sure. Until then it's not a good article. - {{User:Goribus/Sig}} 04:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #'''No''' -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:And, '''TA-DAH!''', has everyone just seen how right I was? I say this system is open to meatpuppetry as soon as it's seen to be easily abused and we get our first instance. This article is losing by six votes and we get four votes all of a sudden within 24 minutes, my, what a coincidence(!) I wonder if a certain group, let's say for the sake of argument, MOB, is spoken of highly in this article? I wonder if these four users have something in common, perhaps shared membership in the same hypothetical group? That seems likely, I wonder if there was a shout out on IRC.... Of course systems like suggestions and historical have things like similarity conditions and minimum participation requirements, this doesn't and MOB gives us our nice first concrete example and more importantly proves me right. Although I did expect more class from MOB. Still, I feel a chorus of the 'I Told You So' song coming on. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::Yet it was ''me'' you bitched at about meatpuppetry. Nice going. Hope you had money on it. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 04:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::I think you'll find I never addressed you directly, I just used your nomination as my example because we both know what would have happened if you hadn't removed it, wonderful meatpuppetry. Guess we'll never know since you decided to have it so bravely run away in the face of perfect prescience. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::Hardly. I withdrew it because I'm tired of idiots like you assuming foul play when there is none. Now go find someone else to condescend to. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 04:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::Don't worry, I believe you. So does disciple number one. Nobody else does though, particularly with your Conndraka inspired removal post. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:54, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::The one where I implicitly state that I withdrew it because I was tired of idiots like you assuming foul play when there is none? If I wanted to meatpuppet something for personal gain I'd have used a group page or something more personal, not a community effort I merely did grunt work for. Of course, that kind of reasoning is far too simple. There's got to be more to it, obviously. Fuck off, you arrogant shitepipe, and stop speaking for people who are perfectly able to speak for themselves. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 05:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::Again you fail basic reading comprehension, people did speak for themselves when they said "Like Iscariot". They didn't say "Some of his points" or "Only his first line", they said "Like Iscariot" because they agreed with what I wrote in its entirety. The people spoke, you just didn't like the answer. Please cry more. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::Actually it's the fact that you called ulterior motives from the get-go, rather than actually asking why I chose the article I did. Of course I had to have put it up for selfish reasons. OBVIOUSLY. It's not like it seemed like a, I don't know, ''good fucking article'' to me. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 05:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::My, how right you are. After all, my experience has taught me that asking people with ulterior motives means they just tell you their schemes, that's how it works! How could I have forgotten such a self-evident truth of reality that people never lie. I quote the Prophet Gregory ''"Everybody lies"''. For the sake of argument, how many times have you ever asked someone you felt wasn't being entirely truthful and open about it and they've just come clean about it? You can give me as many examples as you like, I'll direct you to the world of politics and win the argument with contemptuous ease.
| |
| #:::::::::You thought the article was good? How quaint, how unselfish of you.... to nominate your own article.... truly you shall go to paradise when you pass on to sit with the Enlightened Sting and Saint Bono. What next? Will you nominate your next Youtube video for an Oscar? Couldn't wait for someone else to nominate it now could you? And behold, you've started posting responses to my votes in different nominations, turning this into the den of drama that I so accurately predicted, didn't take it with grace and a simple and honest note when withdrawing your own nomination. Nope, you started dragging your terribly hurt feelings across to a new arena. Please continue to prove me right, it gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling. You know, like when you've just eaten a kitten.
| |
| #:::::::::For the record I have better articles sat in my userspace, do you see me dragging them here like a insecure blonde looking for approval? Nope. And why? Because I'm happy to let the articles themselves be the indicator of quality, not an artificial category that I'd meatpuppeted into.
| |
| #:::::::::Finally, both yours and disciple number one's signatures are illegal. You have one week to make them legal. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::You really are a pathetic asshole. You still refuse to back down over the core issue. I thought it was a ''good article''. What the fuck is this page called? UDWiki:Featured Articles/'''Good Articles'''. So fucking what if I had a hand in writing it. I've contributed to other pages nominated here, too. And I'd have nominated it had all the work been done by Kelly, or Rev, or Gor, or anyone else who contributed. If we all sat and let good pages be justed by their own merit, there'd be no fucking point to this system at all, now, would there? You're forgetting that I put the page up for a ''vote''. One which, despite your incorrect expectations, was left to be voted on naturally and without any meatpuppets. Not that you care. No, no. You just want to bitch, to fill whatever spare time you seem to have. A simple ''I don't think this article is good enough'' vote would have sufficed, but no. You had to start slinging personal accusations right out of nowhere. So fuck you. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 06:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::::Refuse to back down? If by that do I think that I'm completely right and you're completely wrong, then yes. Slight correction though, you didn't leave the nomination ''"to be voted on naturally"'', you quickly removed it in the face of a dissenting opinion. You didn't argue your point that ''"it was good"'' you just withdrew it. Can't have been that good if you're not willing to endure some criticism over it. Notice I didn't have to meatpuppet support for my point of view, that's because I had a well constructed argument that I could (and still am) defending. Other users agreed with all or part of that argument, and not with yours. I tell you what, I'll start voting 'simply' on your articles when you have the basic fucking humility not to nominate them yourself or have a minion do it for you, sound fair? Of course that won't happen, there's a much coveted category to be won if you do manage to sneak one through, and that, like, wins you the entire internet!!1!!eleven! -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:09, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::::I have mentioned ''twice'' now explicitly why it was withdrawn, and once implicitly whilst withdrawing it. I don't care to have words put in my mouth and motives laid at my feet when neither are true. In the face of a wall of false accusations, I felt it better to withdraw the nomination than to have anyone else start chipping in with lies. Of course, if there was an honest bone in your body you'd admit you fucking ''knew'' that. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 06:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::::::Wait, you don't like having words put in your mouth and now you're telling me what I am supposed to have ''known''? And I thought only Americans had an irony deficiency. Let's look at the things I am supposed to have ''accused'' you of (and anyone with any ability to read can see was directed at the system as it was being used and no names were ever mentioned), we'll just use the second sentence of my vote on your nomination: ''"This is now going to turn into the same den of drama that the historical system was"''. Didn't take your own advice about 'simple' responses to suffice did you? No, you dragged your issues over to this second nomination fulfilling the prophecy that certain nominations would turn this into a drama-fest. I called it, you proved it. ''"Wall of false accusations"''? Basic evidence points to the fact that you've proven me right. No accusations needed, the evidence is plain to see. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #Right here is why this entire process needs removing from the wiki. This is now going to turn into the same den of drama that the historical system was and has caused people to want to get rid of that. What is 'good' about this article? What? No spelling mistakes? Looking pretty? Fuck me, let's make all my character pages into good articles then, they're prettier than this. Without a minimum limit as per historical this system is going to be the new dumping ground when people want a pointless tag for their page to try and be elitist over their piece of shit event/group/tactic/guide/whatever. Expect meatpuppetry galore when this system's seen for what it is, an easy way to lord a limited tag over people and claim it means something. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 11:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

| #:When Cheese and I maintained this GA voting had a very utopian ideal where proper criticism would more or less leave the article moot as a GA. Now RHO and others have started cycling them, it's just become a vote. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 12:32, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

| #::You fucking promoted him. There is no attempt to maintain or improve articles in his tenure, it's just a case of throwing a load at voting and seeing what sticks. I would bring this up with him, but he'd ignore the community as he did on his promotion bid, and everything else since he's been promoted.
| |
| #::This is just going to become Historical Lite, same refreshing drama and meatpuppetry, half the actual people needed to force through the result you want. Historical has a minimum of 15 votes required to be a valid nomination with an approval rating of 66%, this system has no minimum participation limit and is now based around a simple majority. I looked through the archives, do you know how many of these nominations got 15 votes? One. A single one, and that was a user page. This system is unsalvageable, can we get rid of it now? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 13:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

| #:::I promoted him! Oh man, I forgot only sysops can cycle these! Better put him up for misconduct seeing as it's a sysop-only action! --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 20:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::You know I remember a time when he used to at least ask shit on talk pages and actually ''listen'' and ''respond'' to the input given there. I wonder what event happened that showed him that ignoring what the community said was a perfectly acceptable action...?
| |
| #::::Regardless, I see you made a concise, point by point response to everything I raised. Oh, wait.... So given we've seen all these problems, potential drama, lack of use of the system, misuse by those supposedly maintaining it ''added'' to the fact that this system is not policy backed and thus only needs common sense users to say "Enough!", can we please get rid of this failed experiment already? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #::::::So basically whenever Izzy doesn't get his way he throws a massive shitfit, points fingers, bitches, and makes massive tl;dr posts. And then when other people do it, it's "Shut the fuck up. Izzy's here. Listen to me. I'm more important then you are." Izzy, you're not even a fucking Sysop and you throw your weight around more then any of the actual Sysops. - {{User:Goribus/Sig}} 04:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #:::::::First, is the Gobots fan upset that I derailed his favouritist page EVAR getting a template? Secondly, massive shitfit? You're kidding me right? If you notice, I simply recorded my vote (like you did) and my reasons for it (like you did), are people not allowed to do this in your world if you disagree with them? Point the Third, you think sysops have the right to throw their weight around? My, you're going to be upset when your pet sysop tries that and gets shot down. Go read the Sysops Are Not Moderators policy and the sysops are no different to normal users section of the admin guidelines and enlighten yourself. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 04:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #::::::::Find me one instance of me 'throwing my weight around' and I'll give you a medal. For reals. Quit fucking accusing me of shit I'm not guilty of. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 05:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::Or what? You'll ban me? You'll cry more? You'll turn into a truck and make a movie with overt racism? If you actual read what I wrote you'd notice the qualifier ''"when"'', meaning 'yet to' and implying 'if and when he does'. Please try and read what I wrote instead of just imagining what fits your feelings of indignation and going off that. Thanks. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::Yeah, you did say 'when' - and not 'if'. It's an accusation. Suck it up and admit it, you snide little bastard. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 05:54, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::::Now you're changing your objection, first it was ''"Show me where in the past I've thrown my weight around"'', now it's ''"You're saying you think I'm going to throw my weight around at some point in the future"''. And you'd be right about the second, but that's not what you said originally, so I was right in responding the way I did. "Suck it up" buttercup, or learn to read in the English language. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 05:58, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::::Your conviction is obviously based on some percieved tendency, since I see no reason to suspect future transgressions without evidence of past ones. So, fine, I'll amend my challenge. Find me either an instance of me 'throwing my weight around', or the point at which it seemed I was about to begin to. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 06:03, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::::::This isn't a challenge, there are no cages, swords or pistols. This is you misreading, now I must assume intentionally since I've already pointed out your comprehension failure, in order to try and remove the essential qualifier to my original statement. The qualifier (in case you forgot) was ''"when"''. Feel free to prove me wrong by never doing it, but something tells me it'll happen at some point in this meta community. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::::::Fine, challenge accepted, I'll prove you wrong by continuing down the path I was already on. The second I'm no longer a sysop, for whatever reason it'll be, I'll expect an apology for you being wrong. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 06:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::::::::::::::Are you naturally illiterate? Or did you just skip the very first sentence of my last post that discussed the nature of this supposed challenge? Also in challenges, it's very poor form to start adding conditions after you've accepted, particularly when it requires nothing of yourself and something of the other party. Such is the behaviour of cowardly ninjas and _ing _un-ists. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 06:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #:::::::::::::::::Wow, failure to read must be catching in the admin team. Weren't you retiring? Or was that just another "Look at me!" gimmick like that bet you wouldn't take? -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 10:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::::::::::::::::::If failure to read is a trend in the admin team you'd make a perfect addition. No, you see I have a term to fulfil as crat, and whilst sticking with a job (all your aborted "policy discussions"? the GSM? your A/M case promises on all of us?) might not be your cup of tea, it's always been my intention to wait until the term ends before I retire, and I've always maintained that, even to you. Not my fault if hearsay tells your it'll be sooner. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 12:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #:::::::::::::::::::We both know that certain people would block my promotion even though I could get more than the four vouches that Red Hawk One managed. My userspace projects are ongoing, and are of no concern to the wider community until they are put in the correct namespace and become actual policy proposals. The GSM was interrupted by three weeks of connection problems, not getting on the intertubes kinda messes with your ability to do shit. Your misconduct case is waiting on a response I get from the UK Information Commissioner's department of helpful monkeys. Anyway, you don't stick at things, especially when there are guarantees that you have to follow through with what you say you'll do, I remind you of the bet that you wouldn't get a ruling on to stop you welching on. And all of the above fails to take account that I was right about this page and this lost cause of a system. -- {{User:Iscariot/Signature}} 15:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #::::::::::::::::::::Whoa, didn't ask for your life story honey, the facts in my eyes outweigh your activity claims and other excuses. So your 'ongoing' works still get a great big meh rating. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 22:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

| #'''No''' - This is getting stupid. The awards are fine and I took an interest in them as they were happening but I'm 100% with [[User:Iscariot|Judas]] on this one. Stop putting up any goddamn part of the wiki for good article status.
