===[[Guides:Feral Death-Cultist Guide]]===
After having it discussed in [[Developing Guides]] (see [[Talk:Guides:Feral_Death-Cultist_Guide|guide's talk page]]) and thoroughly proof-read, I think this one is ripe for voting. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 23:11, 10 June 2010 (BST)
'''For'''
#Yarp. {{User:Misanthropy/Sig}} 23:12, 10 June 2010 (BST)
#Authour vote. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 18:30, 11 June 2010 (BST)
#The only possible flaws are in the strategy, and that's up to the reader to decide. We're just voting on whether it makes sense- and it's clarity is flawless. --{{User:TripleU/Sig}} 01:41, 12 June 2010 (BST)
#I thought it was excellent. Better players mean a better game and this guide will help with that for both sides-and it features one of the most interesting aspects of the game: the "hybrid" character. Nice job.--[[User:Belisarius17|Belisarius17]] 17:44, 12 June 2010 (BST)
#MmmmHmmm. -[[User:Austin hunt|<span style="color:green">Austin</span>]] [[User Talk:Austin hunt|<span style="color:blue">Hunt</span>]] 16:59, 15 June 2010 (BST)
'''Against'''
'''Abstain'''
#Abstain - As someone with a brainrotted feral death cultist, I'd largely agree with most of this guide, but I disagree with almost everything on the RG and lots of other minor stuff. Getting DNR status generally happens on a local level rather than through the RG. My PKer has killed a good 50 people, and the RG has dismissed all claims against him out of hand for some strange reason. He still gets killed and revives are refused regularly. So yeah, I feel you overplayed the RG and underplayed the issue of becoming well known locally.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 23:21, 10 June 2010 (BST)
#:Also, the internal links need to be changed,because they link to the userspace version rather than this version.--{{User:Yonnua Koponen/signature‎}} 23:22, 10 June 2010 (BST)
#::Just when I thought that I had covered everything for the transition to main space... Thanks for the heads-up. --{{User:Spiderzed/Sandbox/Sig}} 23:30, 10 June 2010 (BST)
'''Voting Closed''' - At and approval rate of 5 to 1, this guide has passed voting and will be '''featured''' on the guides page.

In response to some comments during the last round of voting, I've changed some wording in the guide to make it not look like a group page. - [[User:DevOhm|DevOhm]] 04:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Revision as of 14:57, 15 July 2010

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.
