Guides/Review

Shortcut:
GR

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.

Guides:Feral Death-Cultist Guide

After having it discussed in Developing Guides (see guide's talk page) and thoroughly proof-read, I think this one is ripe for voting. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:11, 10 June 2010 (BST)

For

1. Yarp. 23:12, 10 June 2010 (BST)
2. Authour vote. -- Spiderzed▋ 18:30, 11 June 2010 (BST)
3. 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. --VVV ^RPMBG 01:41, 12 June 2010 (BST)
4. 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.--Belisarius17 17:44, 12 June 2010 (BST)

Against

Abstain

1. 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.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 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.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 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. -- Spiderzed▋ 23:30, 10 June 2010 (BST)

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. - DevOhm 04:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

For

1. Author vote. - DevOhm 04:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
2. You've definately fixed the group-look. Well written and fairly origional material. Good guide!--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
3. Doesn't feel as much like a group page now, and since I was on the fence before, you've pulled me to the other side with the changes. —Aichon— 05:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
4. As above--much better. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:25, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
5. Looks good.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:57, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
6. A very good guide with some excellent observations and ideas. Nice one. Chief Seagull (talk) 09:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

9. Yeah, pretty good guide. I might even use this if i were to become a zombie.--Jack Kolt 04:56, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
10. I was in favour of it even before the overhauling, so guess what? --Spiderzed 12:28, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
11. A pretty good read. Looks much better than last time. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 20:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
12. Yep --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Against

1. This isn't a guide, it's a movement, an event, a decentralised group. This is no different to the tactics and hints on a Mall Tour or Big Bash page, it doesn't belong with the guides. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Abstain

1. I am still in 2 minds about this and rather than simply vote Against and be negative I will Abstain because it is a good read and you have amended it well but I still feel its a little groupy...only a little!--C Whitty 09:43, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Voting Closed - At and approval rate of 15 to 2, this guide has passed voting and will be featured on the guides page.

So you've decided to become a zombie

- Chief Seagull (talk) 15:00, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

For

1. I was planning on abstaining, since I felt like it was a bit of a wall of text. On second thought though, it's fairly fun to read, and is a pretty extensive discussion of zombie skills and their utility/importance. Still, it could probably afford to be pared down a bit. - DevOhm 04:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
2. Made me a chuckle and it was a decent read! --C Whitty 09:46, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
3. nothing to say about this one, the lolspeak was humorous, and it clarified what all babah zombahs need to know.--Jack Kolt 05:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
4. Excellent read. After fixing the noted issue of Maverick, this gets my vote. -- T^HEL^ORDG^UNS^LINGER 20:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
5. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 20:20, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
6. Although I'd mention how diagnosis, is a lot cheaper than buying the equivalent scent skills, especially early in character development. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

   That's a good point, I've added that in. Thanks for that. Chief Seagull (talk) 11:13, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

7. Well I thought it was cute. RinKou 04:45, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
8. I disagree with some of the advice, the formatting and certain priorities and concepts, but it's like saying I don't like that Ferrari because it's yellow, it's still a Ferrari and I'd rather have this guide up there than an idiot trenchie one. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:33, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Against

1. Up until a major accuracy issue raised it's head I was right on board for this guide. "it's impossible to revive a rotted zombie". While this may be true in most cases, it is not true in all cases and needs clarification for newbies. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:34, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

   Ah yes, I see what you mean now. Fixed. Chief Seagull (talk) 09:08, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
