Voting History

John Marston

  • Voting ended August 21, 2011

John Marston - This article has a lot of interesting information, and it's maintained well. It's also a very popular article - it's visited often. Plus, I think we can all agree John is an awesome character. The game's about him, so why shouldn't he be a featured article? Sam samurai 15:11, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

  • Agree — Sure, I agree but needs more cleaning first. (Blaff 60)
  • Agree — (I support the John Marston page being a featured article because I feel it it well written and very informative. Like Sam said above me John's an awesome character. I had the most fun playing as him than I did any other character ever, and I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels that way. An awesome character deserved and awesome page and now he deserves featured status. (Spawny0908))
  • AgreeJohn Marston should be a featured page because the article is one of the most in depth articles on the site. It tells you small little details about John that might've been easily missed by players. Also, he is the main character so if newcomers to the site see his page, it might make them want to read other articles too.

  • Agree — Its a great page but first I think the gallery should be made into a seperate page with a link to it on the John Marston page, they do that on the Assassin's Creed Wiki to shorten there long pages. I think the trivia section could also be cut down a bit but other than that the page is great and should be featured. (The Tom)
  • Agree — With the move of the gallery to a subpage and some significant edits on the content having been performed, I think it's now in shape to be featured. (2ks4 (talk) 04:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC))

Comments

  • I like the idea of this article being featured, but would like to make some adjustments to it first before throwing in my support. I'll list my recommendations on the article's talk page, but basically the article is third in the list of long pages and I think it would be better if a couple of sections were broken off into subpages.

    • Update: The gallery has been moved and edits have been performed, so I've added my support above. 2ks4 (talk) 04:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Myths and Mavericks

  • Made featured article on October 4, 2011

Prior to implementing the voting policy for featured articles, it was decided that the article about the then-unreleased (and unnamed) new DLC would be featured whenever that DLC came out. As such, Myths and Mavericks was made the featured article. The normal voting process will resume with next month's featured article.

100% Completion

  • Voting ended November 8, 2011

100% Completion - I nominate the 100% completion page for featured status manly because it helped me get my 100% status. When I wanted to go for 100% I looked for a well written article that broke down exactly what I needed to do, and I found it here. It made me getting my first 100% status in a game 10 times easier. If any of my friends want to go for it I tell them to go there and they love me for it. I even used it to make my 100% go smoothly and it turned out to be my best playthrough yet because of it.

  • AgreeIt'd be a really good idea to have the 100% completion to be a featured article. It'd make for easier access to get to it and it would help more visitors to the site if it were right in front of their faces. Beating RDR 100% is pretty hard, but this article makes it a lot easier. (M-realm 00:18, July 30, 2011 (UTC)) - user does not yet meet the voting requirements.
  • Agree — The article covers a lot of information, but does so succinctly, linking out to related articles rather than adding a lot of redundancy. I think it's a good article and also a good launching point for learning about all the different game elements that contribute to 100%. (2ks4 (talk) 06:44, August 10, 2011 (UTC))
  • Agree — As previously stated, the article contains a great deal of useful information. For users who are new to the wiki, or new to navigating around it, it may be better to have this out in the open (Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes (Talk) 06:53, August 11, 2011 (UTC))
  • Agree — After reviewing the page, I think this is a great nomination. Covers a large variety of information, but it seems very balanced. (--SAMurai 18:45, October 9, 2011 (UTC))

Undead Overrun

  • Voting ended January 18, 2012

Undead Overrun - This article is relatively complete and well done and it covers one of the more popular multiplayer game modes. (2ks4 (talk) 05:34, November 9, 2011 (UTC))

Armadillo

  • Voting ended March 30, 2012

Armadillo - So far a location page has never been a featured article. Armadillo is one of the central locations to the story and the article contains a great amount of detail on the settlement. (2ks4 (talk) 04:43, January 19, 2012 (UTC))
