Obtaining Historical Status

A policy is in place which outlines the method to attain historical status.

Events must have been declared over. The event must have affected either multiple suburbs or how the game was played for a group, such as triggering a change. A nomination should be made on Category_talk:Historical Events. An announcement should be made on Wiki News, and {{HistoricalEventVoting}} should be put on the event's wiki page. Within two weeks of a nomination, the Event must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, with a minimum of 15 voters (or 10 YES votes) for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No Events that pass will be added to the category as described below. Events must allow a week to pass between nominations.

March of the dead

On 14 June 2009, Giles Sendik voted Yes on this Discussion question. Therefore, I believe that Giles Sendik seeks to propose the March of the dead as a historical event, and therefore, have moved the discussion of March of the dead over to this heading to be voted on.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 06:27, 14 June 2009 (BST)

There's no arguing this didn't affect most of malton. And the find rate for syringes had to be raised to stop it so it sure changed the way we play the game.
Concerning the March of The Dead, let's give this one another go.

and while I'm here - We decline.-- #99 ^DCC 13:35, 28 September 2008 (BST)

Clarification: the Dead have no desire to ever be a "historical group" however, March of the Dead could be considered.--– Nubis ^NWO 04:17, 11 October 2008 (BST)

Clarification - This was posted in September 2008 when the group was still very active in DH and obviously on the wiki. As the leader of the Dead I wasn't going to say Fuck yeah our group's done! And Nubis is a douche and was trying to "help". AM I RITE?

It's been well over a year now since we were here or storming around Malton. This nomination was (originally) posted as a snide way of saying that the Dead were "over". And that mess with trying to get Radio Survivor as a historic group or event is horrific. There was something that affected the game as well and now has no fucking acknowledgment at all.

But fine whatever. I don't care because some asshole will come along later and decide that we don't deserve it since they never heard of us. -- #99 ^DCC 17:41, 14 June 2009 (BST)

Yes

1. Yes - This should be a no-brainer. Crit 1 and 2 are met. --_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 01:32, 14 June 2009 (BST)
2. Yes - If this doesn't count, I don't know what should. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:12, 14 June 2009 (BST)
3. Yes - As above.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 06:27, 14 June 2009 (BST)
4. Yes - Well yeah. --Thadeous Oakley 09:56, 14 June 2009 (BST)
5. Yes - It WAS a large, historical event, so I vote yes.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 13:35, 14 June 2009 (BST)
6. Yes - It doesn't matter if they want it or not, and it doesn't matter if they don't give a shit about the wiki. They changed the game (does anyone remember the game?). Then again, this category is more of a circle jerk than anything else (see the Radio Survivor nomination), so I won't be surprised when this nomination gets denied. --Paddy Dignam^{IS DEAD} 19:24, 14 June 2009 (BST)
7. Yes - Crit 1 and 2 are met --C Whitty 10:08, 15 June 2009 (BST)
8. Yes - I'm reading DCC's comment as "this is fine now". Linkthewindow  Talk  10:21, 15 June 2009 (BST)
9. Yes As link.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:29, 16 June 2009 (BST)
10. Yes - DDR took the words right off my keyboard. --Honestmistake 11:01, 16 June 2009 (BST)
11. Yes - The criteria seems to be fullfilled. J.I 16:03, 14 June 2009 (BST)
12. Yes - Definitely. --Midianian^{¦T¦DS¦SP¦} 12:33, 16 June 2009 (BST)

    Yes So, so, SO OBVIOUS.----Dedling 15:57, 16 June 2009 (BST)

No

1. no they don't want it so fuck them. they could give two shits about this game or the wiki. and have stated so on many occasions.----Sexualharrison 08:20, 14 June 2009 (BST)
2. no - it's been declined, so lets not force it upon them. --xoxo 10:02, 14 June 2009 (BST)
3. no - just my opinion.--Bonghit420 10:23, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   No - but would change to yes in a heartbeat if one of the Dead's member (specifically Nubis or DCC, who turned this down above,) come over and said that they want this. Linkthewindow  Talk  10:35, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   no As link --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 10:47, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   Did either of you two read above? Nubis said he wanted March to be considered. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:04, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   and DCC said no. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:07, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   And Nubis clarified? These dead are confusing folk. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:13, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   Plus Link said 'Nubis or DCC', Nubis said he wanted this (speaking on behalf of DCC too I believe), and either you would accept this or you shouldn't have put 'as Link'. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:15, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008 ! DATES PEOPLE! You don't make something that is only 6 months old HISTORIC! What the fuck isa wrong with you people? -- #99 ^DCC 17:44, 14 June 2009 (BST)

   I've seen stuff go up for voting a week after its closure. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 17:48, 14 June 2009 (BST)

4. No - As above. --Private Mark 02:10, 15 June 2009 (BST)

Nominations for Removal of Historical Status

Historical Events Discussion

Secondary list of chronological order?

Any votes against the creation of a timeline below the alphabetically ordered list of historical events? I'd list the events along with the dates they ran. I just think it'd provide for a more reasonable reading of this page, and world lore. Jeffool 10:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

On a Category page nothing can go below the alphabetical list, however, if anyone is interested in making something like this it could be useful, although I think one might already exist somewhere. And I found it Timeline--Karek^maps?! 13:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Although it looks like that needs much reworking.--Karek^maps?! 13:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
