Either I'm capped or someone in the house is downloading a shiton of porn. The point is, this page took ages to load and when I was anticipating what a page with the name "gameplay" I immediately thought the ideal page would have the simple basics of the game spread out in the simplest but most effective and explanitive form, and also link to many other potentially helpful pages that could tell me where to look if I needed help. You know, everything that the DiL wiki didn't do. So yeah, Took a few minutes to read, looks nice, and explains the three most important parts of the game(play): How to play (AP), why you're playing (XP), and how to go about the mixture of the two (how to play for xp: items). I dig, so I'd definitely vouch. -- LEMON #1 14:35, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to think it's a good read, and a nice example of more recent in-game history.

Yes

~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 20:38, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Conditional yes - I think the "Frontline" section may need to be either streamlined or made a subpage. If made a subpage, just condense down the section on the main page so it holds links to the relevant sections and acts as a contents section for it. I also dislike the IRC layout of it, but that's just me. All things considered, moar new stuff is good. 20:41, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Passed 14-1. ~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 23:41, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I know it's a guide, but we've had those featured before so don't be holding that against it. It's got some seriously good in-depth work in there, and along with its sister project has pretty much helped to defined an entirely new creole language. The informative nature of the article, its fun little quirks, and some of the wonderfully useful tidbits in there all say to me that it deserves the status. 22:46, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

~~Against~~ I think that the article needs to address the issue of 'what happens if the building requirments aren't met?' For example: under the 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... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 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. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 20:16, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Maybe not now anymore, but that could have been the case during the March of the Dead. No Necrotechs meeting requirements I mean.--

Thadeous Oakley

20:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

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. -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 21:04, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Our Lord and Saviour has answered on his talk page. I'll add to the page, today. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 09:00, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Vote struck, and changed to yes. -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 13:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

~~Questionable accuracy and the minor need to test what happens if there are no valid spawnpoints.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 03:39, 2 March 2010 (UTC)~~

No valid spawnpoints query answered. Now explain how I can improve on the so called questionable accuracy? --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 11:15, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I was just rather dubious that there would be a complex method of spawning when you could have someone just spawn anywhere but...well...eh. Kevan replied and didn't try to knock you down so I'll change my vote.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 23:41, 2 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. --

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.--ShadowScope^{'the true enemy'} 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. --

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. --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 09:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Also why there might be a lower zed presence within the same suburbs,.... -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 13:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

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 here, here, here, and here), as well as having been cited for information (like 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 here, it seemed to have some support as long as it was updated.

POV much? Lacking basic information and vague when it comes to its own declarations. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 12:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
Vague in it's declarations, and non neutral POV.... hmmm....? -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 13:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
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. μ_nholy®_eign 06:25, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
Really,.... you'd rather have it look like this? -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 13:21, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
No I wouldn't like it like that. You know what I meant Don't be a smart-arse. But just in case I didn't make it clear the first time... 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. μ_nholy®_eign 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. Obviously this isn't the case, both from an RP perspective, as well as a strategic perspective, both of which are touched on within the article. -Poodle of Doom^M! ^T 22:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

This is good but I have a query. In the Consumer section it says "This makes re-stocking much faster than in police departments or hospitals", but in the First Aid Kit section it says "it is proven that Hospitals are now the best place to search for FAK's. Even an unlit hospital has yielded FAK's with a greater rate than a lit mall"... so which of these is correct? Chief Seagull talk 12:47, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Considering the search rate for FAKs in Malls was nerfed a year or two ago, there's no doubt that Hospitals are the best place to find FAKs now. —Aich on— 16:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I think you'll find that the precedents of the system (which I didn't make BTW, simply upkept) is a strong pro-qualitative feedback method. Think of it as A/PM except any legitimate criticisms brought by anyone is enough to reject a potential GA. If you don't think the criticism here counts as legitimate, it's because it was obviously considered so not GA potential they didn't bother explaining. -- LEMON #1 10:25, 20 September 2010 (BST)

Yeah A/PM is a good analogy. Only instead of crat's choosing it's you. People critise all the suggestions that get any votes. And their opinions are valid. However they're the opinions of 33%.

"The nomination will be discussed and if there are no major issues raised..." (top of page) - Discussion not a vote, unless those in favour can refute any "issues raised" i.e. that the page article is actually good, and your "votes" weren't just for the punny title, then you get your GA. --

Rooster Dragon

17:23, 20 September 2010 (BST)

Why is there voting anyway? And that's a serious question. Why aren't we just discussing, coming to a consensus, editing it to fix minor issues issues, and then moving forward? On ones like this, where you'll definitely get folks split on the issue, I'd say it should default to not being GA, since there are clearly issues that cannot be overcome. Granted, it's a more involved process, but it'd actually make sense, as opposed to being a vote that has no place or meaning aside from expressing a summarization of that person's opinion on the subject. —Aich on— 20:36, 20 September 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. --

I think you need to look up what an "article" is, and so should the same person who wrote those rules. I can assure you that your page isn't. Your page consists of a collection of silly images and templates together with, here it comes, 3 whopping sentences you wrote. It's a pretty basic, nice-looking userpage but as an article?

And, TA-DAH!, has everyone just seen how right I was? I say this system is open to meatpuppetry as soon as it's seen to be easily abused and we get our first instance. This article is losing by six votes and we get four votes all of a sudden within 24 minutes, my, what a coincidence(!) I wonder if a certain group, let's say for the sake of argument, MOB, is spoken of highly in this article? I wonder if these four users have something in common, perhaps shared membership in the same hypothetical group? That seems likely, I wonder if there was a shout out on IRC.... Of course systems like suggestions and historical have things like similarity conditions and minimum participation requirements, this doesn't and MOB gives us our nice first concrete example and more importantly proves me right. Although I did expect more class from MOB. Still, I feel a chorus of the 'I Told You So' song coming on. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Yet it was me you bitched at about meatpuppetry. Nice going. Hope you had money on it. 04:42, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
I think you'll find I never addressed you directly, I just used your nomination as my example because we both know what would have happened if you hadn't removed it, wonderful meatpuppetry. Guess we'll never know since you decided to have it so bravely run away in the face of perfect prescience. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:48, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Hardly. I withdrew it because I'm tired of idiots like you assuming foul play when there is none. Now go find someone else to condescend to. 04:50, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry, I believe you. So does disciple number one. Nobody else does though, particularly with your Conndraka inspired removal post. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:54, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
The one where I implicitly state that I withdrew it because I was tired of idiots like you assuming foul play when there is none? If I wanted to meatpuppet something for personal gain I'd have used a group page or something more personal, not a community effort I merely did grunt work for. Of course, that kind of reasoning is far too simple. There's got to be more to it, obviously. Fuck off, you arrogant shitepipe, and stop speaking for people who are perfectly able to speak for themselves. 05:02, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Again you fail basic reading comprehension, people did speak for themselves when they said "Like Iscariot". They didn't say "Some of his points" or "Only his first line", they said "Like Iscariot" because they agreed with what I wrote in its entirety. The people spoke, you just didn't like the answer. Please cry more. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Actually it's the fact that you called ulterior motives from the get-go, rather than actually asking why I chose the article I did. Of course I had to have put it up for selfish reasons. OBVIOUSLY. It's not like it seemed like a, I don't know, good fucking article to me. 05:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
My, how right you are. After all, my experience has taught me that asking people with ulterior motives means they just tell you their schemes, that's how it works! How could I have forgotten such a self-evident truth of reality that people never lie. I quote the Prophet Gregory "Everybody lies". For the sake of argument, how many times have you ever asked someone you felt wasn't being entirely truthful and open about it and they've just come clean about it? You can give me as many examples as you like, I'll direct you to the world of politics and win the argument with contemptuous ease.

You thought the article was good? How quaint, how unselfish of you.... to nominate your own article.... truly you shall go to paradise when you pass on to sit with the Enlightened Sting and Saint Bono. What next? Will you nominate your next Youtube video for an Oscar? Couldn't wait for someone else to nominate it now could you? And behold, you've started posting responses to my votes in different nominations, turning this into the den of drama that I so accurately predicted, didn't take it with grace and a simple and honest note when withdrawing your own nomination. Nope, you started dragging your terribly hurt feelings across to a new arena. Please continue to prove me right, it gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling. You know, like when you've just eaten a kitten.

For the record I have better articles sat in my userspace, do you see me dragging them here like a insecure blonde looking for approval? Nope. And why? Because I'm happy to let the articles themselves be the indicator of quality, not an artificial category that I'd meatpuppeted into.

Finally, both yours and disciple number one's signatures are illegal. You have one week to make them legal. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:43, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
You really are a pathetic asshole. You still refuse to back down over the core issue. I thought it was a good article. What the fuck is this page called? UDWiki:Featured Articles/Good Articles. So fucking what if I had a hand in writing it. I've contributed to other pages nominated here, too. And I'd have nominated it had all the work been done by Kelly, or Rev, or Gor, or anyone else who contributed. If we all sat and let good pages be justed by their own merit, there'd be no fucking point to this system at all, now, would there? You're forgetting that I put the page up for a vote. One which, despite your incorrect expectations, was left to be voted on naturally and without any meatpuppets. Not that you care. No, no. You just want to bitch, to fill whatever spare time you seem to have. A simple I don't think this article is good enough vote would have sufficed, but no. You had to start slinging personal accusations right out of nowhere. So fuck you. 06:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Refuse to back down? If by that do I think that I'm completely right and you're completely wrong, then yes. Slight correction though, you didn't leave the nomination "to be voted on naturally", you quickly removed it in the face of a dissenting opinion. You didn't argue your point that "it was good" you just withdrew it. Can't have been that good if you're not willing to endure some criticism over it. Notice I didn't have to meatpuppet support for my point of view, that's because I had a well constructed argument that I could (and still am) defending. Other users agreed with all or part of that argument, and not with yours. I tell you what, I'll start voting 'simply' on your articles when you have the basic fucking humility not to nominate them yourself or have a minion do it for you, sound fair? Of course that won't happen, there's a much coveted category to be won if you do manage to sneak one through, and that, like, wins you the entire internet!!1!!eleven! -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:09, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
I have mentioned twice now explicitly why it was withdrawn, and once implicitly whilst withdrawing it. I don't care to have words put in my mouth and motives laid at my feet when neither are true. In the face of a wall of false accusations, I felt it better to withdraw the nomination than to have anyone else start chipping in with lies. Of course, if there was an honest bone in your body you'd admit you fucking knew that. 06:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Wait, you don't like having words put in your mouth and now you're telling me what I am supposed to have known? And I thought only Americans had an irony deficiency. Let's look at the things I am supposed to have accused you of (and anyone with any ability to read can see was directed at the system as it was being used and no names were ever mentioned), we'll just use the second sentence of my vote on your nomination: "This is now going to turn into the same den of drama that the historical system was". Didn't take your own advice about 'simple' responses to suffice did you? No, you dragged your issues over to this second nomination fulfilling the prophecy that certain nominations would turn this into a drama-fest. I called it, you proved it. "Wall of false accusations"? Basic evidence points to the fact that you've proven me right. No accusations needed, the evidence is plain to see. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:22, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Right here is why this entire process needs removing from the wiki. This is now going to turn into the same den of drama that the historical system was and has caused people to want to get rid of that. What is 'good' about this article? What? No spelling mistakes? Looking pretty? Fuck me, let's make all my character pages into good articles then, they're prettier than this. Without a minimum limit as per historical this system is going to be the new dumping ground when people want a pointless tag for their page to try and be elitist over their piece of shit event/group/tactic/guide/whatever. Expect meatpuppetry galore when this system's seen for what it is, an easy way to lord a limited tag over people and claim it means something. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 11:45, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
When Cheese and I maintained this GA voting had a very utopian ideal where proper criticism would more or less leave the article moot as a GA. Now RHO and others have started cycling them, it's just become a vote. --

12:32, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
You fucking promoted him. There is no attempt to maintain or improve articles in his tenure, it's just a case of throwing a load at voting and seeing what sticks. I would bring this up with him, but he'd ignore the community as he did on his promotion bid, and everything else since he's been promoted.

This is just going to become Historical Lite, same refreshing drama and meatpuppetry, half the actual people needed to force through the result you want. Historical has a minimum of 15 votes required to be a valid nomination with an approval rating of 66%, this system has no minimum participation limit and is now based around a simple majority. I looked through the archives, do you know how many of these nominations got 15 votes? One. A single one, and that was a user page. This system is unsalvageable, can we get rid of it now? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I promoted him! Oh man, I forgot only sysops can cycle these! Better put him up for misconduct seeing as it's a sysop-only action! --

20:58, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
You know I remember a time when he used to at least ask shit on talk pages and actually listen and respond to the input given there. I wonder what event happened that showed him that ignoring what the community said was a perfectly acceptable action...?

Regardless, I see you made a concise, point by point response to everything I raised. Oh, wait.... So given we've seen all these problems, potential drama, lack of use of the system, misuse by those supposedly maintaining it added to the fact that this system is not policy backed and thus only needs common sense users to say "Enough!", can we please get rid of this failed experiment already? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
So basically whenever Izzy doesn't get his way he throws a massive shitfit, points fingers, bitches, and makes massive tl;dr posts. And then when other people do it, it's "Shut the fuck up. Izzy's here. Listen to me. I'm more important then you are." Izzy, you're not even a fucking Sysop and you throw your weight around more then any of the actual Sysops. - Goribus 04:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
First, is the Gobots fan upset that I derailed his favouritist page EVAR getting a template? Secondly, massive shitfit? You're kidding me right? If you notice, I simply recorded my vote (like you did) and my reasons for it (like you did), are people not allowed to do this in your world if you disagree with them? Point the Third, you think sysops have the right to throw their weight around? My, you're going to be upset when your pet sysop tries that and gets shot down. Go read the Sysops Are Not Moderators policy and the sysops are no different to normal users section of the admin guidelines and enlighten yourself. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 04:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Find me one instance of me 'throwing my weight around' and I'll give you a medal. For reals. Quit fucking accusing me of shit I'm not guilty of. 05:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Or what? You'll ban me? You'll cry more? You'll turn into a truck and make a movie with overt racism? If you actual read what I wrote you'd notice the qualifier "when", meaning 'yet to' and implying 'if and when he does'. Please try and read what I wrote instead of just imagining what fits your feelings of indignation and going off that. Thanks. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, you did say 'when' - and not 'if'. It's an accusation. Suck it up and admit it, you snide little bastard. 05:54, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Now you're changing your objection, first it was "Show me where in the past I've thrown my weight around", now it's "You're saying you think I'm going to throw my weight around at some point in the future". And you'd be right about the second, but that's not what you said originally, so I was right in responding the way I did. "Suck it up" buttercup, or learn to read in the English language. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 05:58, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Your conviction is obviously based on some percieved tendency, since I see no reason to suspect future transgressions without evidence of past ones. So, fine, I'll amend my challenge. Find me either an instance of me 'throwing my weight around', or the point at which it seemed I was about to begin to. 06:03, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
This isn't a challenge, there are no cages, swords or pistols. This is you misreading, now I must assume intentionally since I've already pointed out your comprehension failure, in order to try and remove the essential qualifier to my original statement. The qualifier (in case you forgot) was "when". Feel free to prove me wrong by never doing it, but something tells me it'll happen at some point in this meta community. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:15, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Fine, challenge accepted, I'll prove you wrong by continuing down the path I was already on. The second I'm no longer a sysop, for whatever reason it'll be, I'll expect an apology for you being wrong. 06:17, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Are you naturally illiterate? Or did you just skip the very first sentence of my last post that discussed the nature of this supposed challenge? Also in challenges, it's very poor form to start adding conditions after you've accepted, particularly when it requires nothing of yourself and something of the other party. Such is the behaviour of cowardly ninjas and _ing _un-ists. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 06:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

If failure to read is a trend in the admin team you'd make a perfect addition. No, you see I have a term to fulfil as crat, and whilst sticking with a job (all your aborted "policy discussions"? the GSM? your A/M case promises on all of us?) might not be your cup of tea, it's always been my intention to wait until the term ends before I retire, and I've always maintained that, even to you. Not my fault if hearsay tells your it'll be sooner. --

12:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
We both know that certain people would block my promotion even though I could get more than the four vouches that Red Hawk One managed. My userspace projects are ongoing, and are of no concern to the wider community until they are put in the correct namespace and become actual policy proposals. The GSM was interrupted by three weeks of connection problems, not getting on the intertubes kinda messes with your ability to do shit. Your misconduct case is waiting on a response I get from the UK Information Commissioner's department of helpful monkeys. Anyway, you don't stick at things, especially when there are guarantees that you have to follow through with what you say you'll do, I remind you of the bet that you wouldn't get a ruling on to stop you welching on. And all of the above fails to take account that I was right about this page and this lost cause of a system. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

While there is some great flavour on the page, I do not think of any of the suburb pages as articles. They are more a collection of various information put in a small space with links where appropriate. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 03:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
No! Suburb pages are a mass of information and sections and none of them should be classed as Good Articles. They have the potential to change daily in quality and content and while I commend the RRF for moderating the amount of noob crap that is thrown on Ridleybank's news section, it still shouldn't fly as a good article. --

06:21, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
The East Becktown article is more clearly organized and the Eastonwood article contains a more coherent version of the suburb's history. I do no believe Ridleybank's suburb article to be any better than these two. It ought to be, but it is not. --Highlandcow 17:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Many of the links are now dead, as Cheveyo has deleted the groups forum. I could upload the saved screenshots I have, but in the current format its broke.
I'm probably going to remove several sections anyway. I don't want the page being used as "How to avoid zerging accusations playbook."
Its part of my namespace, and as such might want to change the page name before even considering it's good articleness.
Its full of spelling mistakes.
It is NPOV. I am merely reporting the result of my investigation into the belief of zerging. I even ask people to come to their own conclusions about what the information suggests.

Thanks --Ross less ne s s^{Want a Location Image?} 11:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Any user may effectively decline any nomination of a page they own (group or user page) due to the Specific Case Editing guidelines meaning they can choose not to include the good article category on that page. You can leave this here or just cycle the nomination on grounds that you won't allow the changes to be made to your page. --

Yes - If only to counteract Red Hawk's idiotic misreading of the NPOV criteria, which states "NPOV - The article must be from a neutral point of view and not show significant bias. Possible exceptions may be made, depending on the article and community opinion. If community opinion is ever going to override this criteria it will be for something as heinous to all fair players as blatant cheating through zerging. Ross' article is well researched and the model for drawing attention to such lying scumbags.

Like I attempted to do once upon a time (and I think I shall do again) ALiM needs a clear-out of all the rubbish cock jokes and replaced with genuinely funny articles. Funny block names shouldn't always automatically be made a location, some work should be put into the page to make it more than a stub. -- C h e e s e 14:42, 17 May 2009 (BST)

Unsuccessful - Page needs some work before it can be considered a good article. -- C h e e s e 14:42, 17 May 2009 (BST)
Ahem, i assumed this required a straight forward majority. What's the criteria for selection? Since this is an admin page (starts with UDWiki) you can't give one person the ultimate say. Point me towards the part where it says how much suppot you need or whatever...--x o x o 07:24, 18 May 2009 (BST)
It's not technically a vote, it's similar in nature to a promotion bid (but with an article). If several people have raised points against it becoming a good article then those points should be addressed beforehand, hence allowing for improvement of it. If it was a straight majority then we'd have quite a bit of meat-puppeting going on. =p -- C h e e s e 08:20, 18 May 2009 (BST)
Understandable, however with a promotion bid it is clear who you need to woo in order to be sucessful. Who chooses here? Is it you? Or just whoever gets to the article first?--x o x o 08:25, 18 May 2009 (BST)

I like the content and it is well written but it's just a bit to bland in my opinion.

It's a great page, but I don't think user pages should be featured articles. --Pestolence^(talk) 16:14, 2 May 2009 (BST)
Given that user pages can be changed to be totally different on the whim of the owner, I don't think it's wise to allow them in. If it was a user sub page dedicated to his game, I'd vote yeah, for sure -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 08:13 4 May 2009 (BST)

New user template

This page provides helpful information for new users that can allow them to easily customize their own user page. All of the info they need it right in front of them, in a copy-pastable format. All they need to do is decide where to put it and fill in the gaps. --The Shoemaker ^Talk^{Red Faction} 01:47, 1 May 2009 (BST)

Yes

I support the page because I believe it could really help all of the new users that come in all day every day. With customized pages, they can feel free to then get active within the wiki without worrying about their page all the time. Besides, I don't really see, to no one's offense, any pages that actually try to help people on the nominee list right now anyways. --The Shoemaker ^Talk^{Red Faction} 01:50, 1 May 2009 (BST)

It's title isn't descriptive, and the content is confusing and badly formatted. It's mostly a duplicate of content already in the help section, and what isn't could be covered with a few lines being added to the basic formatting page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 08:08 4 May 2009 (BST)

I'm not a fan of this article, and I wrote most of it's current content. Apart from that fact it could very well be wrong in some parts due to my limited knowledge of such functions, the main thing is that I think it reads a bit poorly in some places. Doesn't flow right. A second set of eyes could probably improve it a lot just with some restructure and reordering. -- Rooster Dragon 17:39, 30 April 2009 (BST)

But reluctantly. It's funny, but it's little more then a piss-take at trenchcoaters, without examining common trenchie mistakes, etc. The current page (which is mostly quotes) should be moved off to a subpage and a new page built in it's ashes. Linkthewindow Talk 12:17, 30 April 2009 (BST)
Not in it's current place. It's not a good example of a glossary page. Move it to somewhere like Trenchcoater Folklore, and place an actual glossary article (including a link to this page) at Trenchcoater, and then I'd change my vote -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 04:02 1 May 2009 (BST)
