| | | *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''' - The main problem with this article is that it is hard to tell if it is a guide/strategy or a subtle parody of a guide / strategy. If it was purely a guide with better formatting and information, it would be pure awesomeness. If it was entirely a parody, it would be liquid sex. Unfortunately, it tries to be both and fails at becoming either. - [[User:MHSstaff|MHSstaff]] 20:17, 6 September 2010 (BST)

| ===[[Malton Incident]]===
| |
| It may be fanmade, but it provides some good backstory to how the zombie incident in Malton started. --{{User:Axe Hack/Sig}} 02:12, 24 July 2010 (BST)
| |
| ====Yes====
| |
| #'''Yes''' - I'm offended that you think being fanmade is a bad thing. This thing is a vital piece of our history. Without it, we'd have no way of knowing how this all started. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 02:54, 24 July 2010 (BST)

| #This is a no with a but - it's a good page, but it just look amateurish. I might give it an overhaul soon to have things like paragraphs, headers, more interwiki links, etc, though I don't know how that would affect this vote. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 02:56, 24 July 2010 (BST)
| |
| #Very similar to [[Possible Causes for the Situation]], they are the two pages on the wiki that ''should'' be considered the best in the entire place, but just fall a bit short. Both of these pages added to my fascination with the rich history of Malton when I started many years ago but they need some basic formatting before being accepted IMO. It's not cause I don't think they shouldn't be GA's at this point, it's that with a simple 20 minutes of work, they won't only qualify but will also be miles ahead of what they are now. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 03:07, 24 July 2010 (BST)

| #:So do I,... I'll change my vote to yes sometime before his seven days are up. Just curious to have an answer to the questions presented. -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 21:38, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

| #'''Yes''' - Very thorough. --[[User:TripleU|TripleU]] 23:52, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

| #'''Weak Yes''' - It really meets all criteria and pretty interesting. But the accuracy of the article is under the question. it'd be cool to gather statistics on a distance somehow, but it's kind of abuse to the system. --[[User:Fe328|fe328]] 23:59, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

| |
| <s>'''Against'''</s> I think that the article needs to address the issue of 'what happens if the building requirments aren't met?' For example: under the [[Spawning#NecroTech Lab Assistant|Lab Assistant]] section,... what happens if there are no NT buildings that fit the crieria? Granted, this may never be the case,... in fact, I doubt that this would ever be the case,... but what if? Is there a really good answer for this? BTW, my vote can easily be swayed to a yes vote,... it's just that this is something I notice, and was hoping it could be addressed in some way... -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 20:14, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| :Hmm. Probably something I can't do with spadework, unless I spend a day creating Necrotech assistant Alts and then throwing barricades at the relevant NT's. Probably a question for Kevan. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 20:16, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| ::Maybe not now anymore, but that could have been the case during the March of the Dead.

| |
| :::I see, so this issue would have to be addressed through a case study,... Perhaps such a thing should be noted in the article somewhere? Personally, I've got a similar, also interesting take on this subject. Considering the priority of NT buildings within the game, and the community as a whole, and inversly, being the big target they are for zombie groups,... how often do you think conditions like this exist? And is it VSB or lower? At that, when it comes to spawning, is this really a luck of the draw sort of thing, or is it something thats vastly affected by the actions of the people playing the game? I think that that's worth noting in the article to, simply because that last point I made is the whole allure of the game to a great many people... everything is situational, and all outcomes are affected solely by the individuals playing... and thus, so are the spawning locations in a way. -{{User:Poodle_of_doom/signiture}} 21:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

| #Poodle and SS's reasons are so utterly stupid; if they think the reason for a glossary/player-resource article like this is to just prove what would happen in extreme hypothetical situations, then they are wrong. Having said that, this article is useful to show interested users the nature of spawning; and that is all. GA's in general should have the ability to interest any user into reading at leased a bit of it, but I don't think this has it. Narrow/special interest works don't generally fit my idea of a GA. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 05:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:I just felt the article needed to be 'complete'. It's 'complete', so that's why the Keep. I don't see a GA needing to personally interest anyone, as long as it's a Good Article (NPOV, Compelte, Well Written, "Awesome"), it suffices.--[[User:ShadowScope|ShadowScope]]<sup>[[User:Kevan|'the true enemy']]</sup> 23:40, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #::By personally interest people, I mean it needs something in it that does inherently make it "awesome". This is boring. It covers a concept that is experienced within the first two clicks of making an UD account for ''everyone'', I think this sort of coverage isn't ''unnecessary'', but not groundbreaking enough to be a GA at all. --{{User:DanceDanceRevolution/sig3}} 23:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
| |
| #:::I think its range is more than that. It adds another reason for cading TRP's to only VSB and shows another benefit of emitting a [[feeding groan]] (which needs a major rewrite). I also think that its important to note that some suburbs underpopulation might be due to their lack of Firestations and Necrotechs. --{{User:Rosslessness/Sig}} 09:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

| ===[[Guides:A Beginners Guide to Urban Dead|A Beginners Guide to Urban Dead]]===
| |
| This article has been accessed over 80,000 times,.... has been cited by many other users as still being an important peice of information (as can be seen [[Heytown/News Archive#June 20th|here]], [[Guides:First Day in Malton#For more information|here]], [[User:Darculianar#UsefullPages|here]], and [[Malton_College_of_Medicine/library#Textbooks|here]]), as well as having been cited for information (like [[Suggestion talk:20070928 More Knives|here]] for example). That said, many users, and pages not listed above, link to it, having thought it was important to keep. Also, when it was reveiwed [[Guides/Review/Archive#Guides:A Beginners Guide to Urban Dead|here]], it seemed to have some support as long as it was updated.

| |
| #'''No''' - I don't really like the layout of it. Perhaps some tables for some of the information, or just links to separate pages with the information (for example Building types). I'm not really a big fan of a huge amount of information on the one page. Don't see why the information on building types needs to be repeated on this page as well, especially ''useless'' information like interior and exterior descriptions. It just builds up the page more. {{User:UnholyReign/Sig}} 06:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

'''The beginners guide should give relevant information that beginners need. Just the basics, some details where needed. But NOT a complete guide on the entire game.''' The details are included on other pages, and people can access them by searching if need be. Rather then clotting up a beginners guide with ''useless'' information. On top of that, some basic information that beginners '''would''' need isn't included as well. Thats why I don't like it. {{User:UnholyReign/Sig}} 11:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

| #:::I do know what you mean,... however,.... I know being new to a game, I like to waltz in with everything on the table, and a good working knowledge of what I should be doing, or what the working aspects of a game are. Not just having my character spawn someplace... and not know what I should be looking at, or how to get into a building.... or why I should even give a rats ass about libraries,... which you seem to think are absolutly frivolous, amongst other things I've included.
