Obtaining Historical Status

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

Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups. Within two weeks of a nomination, the group must be approved by 2/3 of the voters, and have a minimum of 15 voters for a nomination to pass. The only allowable votes are Yes and No. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations. Groups must allow 4 months in between when the group disbands and when they can be nominated for Historical Status. (Note: Only for Malton-based groups)

Nominations for Historical Status

When nominating a group, please add a note to Template:Wiki News and add {{HistoricalGroupVoting}} to the top of the group's page. Also, please add {{HistoricalVotingRules}} under the group's application for historical status.

Channel 4 News Team

I'm still a little confused as to why I'm the one to do this, having Mr. Burgundy or another iconic member come back to do it would have been a fitting end for the group. But anyway, reports from one of its older members confirm that the group has been without activity for quite some time. According to forum and wiki activity the group has been inactive for many months, well past the 4 month waiting period for historical group nominations.

Again, I really don't know what to say about C4NT because I assume that if you're anyone who's anyone you already know what there is to know. They were led by the hilarious Ron Burgundy till 2008, probably one of the only real legendary survivors of UD, and have had a huge influence and impact in UD's earlier history, most famously the Battle of Blackmore, and also the first, second and third sieges of Caiger Mall. As a new ~2007 user, my bedtime lullabies were stories of Ron Burgundy and his quests for Glorious Battle, something I'm sure many of today's users can relate to. I only joined C4NT for a short period of time but in that small amount I had a ball, they were great players and funny roleplayers.

So here is the nomination I guess. Again, not really sure if I should add anything, since I'm assuming anyone who's been here for more than a few months will recognise them as historical in a splitsecond, but if you have more to add just add it below here I guess, or in your vote. I really liked C4NT and it's sad to see it go but It'll also be really fitting to finally see them go into Historical Groups (hopefully).

Note: I'm also aware that C4NT are still on the stats page too, with about 10 members. I think these may be stragglers similar to those who still had the group tag despite inactivity from the core group members, like when say The Dead's voting went forth. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 03:34, 24 June 2011 (BST)

34. I remember when my alt DJSpinbad joined. It was during the Battle of Blackmore and I ran into Ron. I personally asked him to join the team, although I'm pretty sure my eyes were awestruck by his awesome hair that the words asking to join were just blurted out. --•▬ ▬••▬ • •••• •▬ ▬•▬• ▬•▬ ^{#nerftemplatedsigs} 23:09, 28 June 2011 (BST)

38. Damn Skippy. As a Ranger there was little better then charging a horde with C4NT cameras beside you. Well, maybe Burchell Arms bathtub whiskey. Or warm apple pie. Hmm, now that I think about it, there was that RRF streetwalker in Ridleybank back in '09...*cough, but, what I'm tryin to say is besides cheap whiskey and zombah hookers, ya can't beat C4NT!

39. I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me. Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream. So I travel back, down that road. Who she come back? No one knows. I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream. I was at the top and I was like I’m at the basement. Number one spot and now she found her a replacement. I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby. And now you ain't around, baby I can't think. Shoulda put it down. Shoulda got that ring. Cuz I can still feel it in the air. See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair. My lover, my life. My shorty, my wife. She left me, I'm tied. Cuz I knew that it just ain't right. I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me. Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream. So I travel back, down that road. Who she come back? No one knows. I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream. When I be ridin man I swear I see her face at every turn. Tryin to get my usher over, I can let it burn. And I just hope she notice she the only one I yearn for. Oh I miss her when will I learn? Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback. Now I'm in the club thinkin all about my baby. Hey, she was so easy to love. But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough. I'm goin through it every time that I'm alone. And now i'm missin, wishin she'd pick up the phone. But she made a decision that she wanted to move one. Cuz I was wrong. And I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me. Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream. So I travel back, down that road. Who she come back? No one knows. I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream. If you ever loved somebody put your hands up. If you ever loved somebody put your hands up. And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything. I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up. If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.

42. By the irritable bowels of Zeus! Today, while studying for the Texas bar exam, I received an email saying that the Channel 4 News Team is up for a historical vote. It's been a few years and a lifetime since I wandered off, but I still think about the News Team and laugh. Hopefully you all had as much fun reading about it as I had writing it. If any of you wash ashore in Galveston, Texas over the summer, come find me and I'll buy you all a scotch. --Ron Burgundy 23:58, 4 July 2011 (BST)

No

1. NO but only because they deserve to be in a category of their own..."LEGENDARY" --Honestmistake 08:06, 24 June 2011 (BST)
2. No - I feel like a jerk going against such a clear bandwagon, but I've only heard mentions of them, and it doesn't seem like they held significant military weight. --VVV ^RPMBG 07:48, 25 June 2011 (BST)

   Probably because they weren't military.. they were reporters.--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks ^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 07:57, 25 June 2011 (BST)

   They were heavily involved in almost every historical event in the game's history before they vanished. You should take a jaunt through Category:Historical Events--Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 09:06, 25 June 2011 (BST)

   Or indeed the current featured article on the main page. --Rosslessness 10:51, 25 June 2011 (BST)

   and Military Might has nothing to do with being historical. See QSG on Tour--User:Sexualharrison11:26, 25 June 2011 (bst)

   'Military weight'? Are you serious?! It's nothing to do with military power or bandwagons. They were involved in all the big events, often as key members/ringleaders and were led by one of the most famous players ever to hit Malton. The only group in the game who are more deserving of historical status than C4NT are the Ridleybank Resistance Front.--Papa Moloch 14:30, 25 June 2011 (BST)
