Obtaining Historical Status

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

  1. Groups must no longer actively contribute to the game.
  2. A nomination should be made on Category talk:Historical Groups.
  3. 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.
  4. Groups that pass will be added to the category as described below.
  5. Groups must allow a week to pass between nominations.
  6. 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.

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. -- ϑanceϑanceℜevolution 03:34, 24 June 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 DORISFlag.jpg 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--Karekmaps 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)
