UESPWiki:Featured Articles/Past Nominations/Archive 3

This is an archive of past nominations for Featured Articles from 2009.


I think that the article has improved since the last time it was proposed. It has a more extended information than any other of the provinces' articles, describing some of its history and geography and it also has really beautiful, well-placed images.--S&#39;drassa 04:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Support: Sad that I didn't see this sooner. I just cleaned some things up in the article, but there most likely is some more to do. It has great pictures, great information, perfect references. It is the quintessential Featured Article. –Elliot   13:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Support: As has already been stated, the article is an excellent Lore page. It's detailed, informative, and complete to the best of my knowledge. Dlarsh  23:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Support: It's a good article with lots of interesting details; perfect for Featured Article.  --GK  08:00, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Support: Though I haven't verified all the sources, I think I can say the page is a nice example for Lore articles. --Timenn-  17:11, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Support: Ditto everyone! It is a really good page, well suited for Featured Article. --SerCenKing   18:01, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

;Consensus: Support.  --GK  08:24, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Whodunit?
I believe that Whodunit should recieve the featured article next month because it has a good summary, good guest descriptions, good guide, and some useful notes--Arch-Mage Matt 01:53, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: The article currently holds various bug notes and claims that have not been verified. While the article contains a great deal of info, it is not known what part of it is really true, and what part has never been tested and is just there because no one took the time to evaluate them. --Timenn-  14:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose: It's a good article, but there are a couple of messy areas.  As Timenn pointed out, there are still some things that need to be tested and verified.  Also, the "Guide" section is a bit choppy and only offers one method for completing the quest.  I'd like to see some decent rewriting/reorganization before I'd feel comfortable featuring this one. –Eshe  02:00, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose: The article gets the job done, no doubt about that, but some sections feel like they need a rewrite. For instance, "Playing with your Victims" is a collection of useful strategies, tips and notes that should instead be in the tips/notes section (go figure), and somewhat useless information ("Snipe from across the room with your bow"). That's just one example, but suffice to say, I feel it needs more cleanup to be FA worthy. Dlarsh  03:05, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose: Same reasons as above. --Michaeldsuarez   15:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose: The Detailed Walkthrough seems to contain a lot of what would be better considered Notes or Strategies, in other words a bit one-sided.  The article would need to be re-written with this in mind for me to agree to FA status. - Daniellibus 18:17, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
Oppose: To be honest, I think the page needs a cleanup-tag - it seems to be full of theories and unexplained strategies as it is. But if we can get it cleaned up and get all the strategies explained properly, it would be a winner - just like the quest itself. Krusty 18:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

;Consensus: Oppose.  No support besides nominator.  --Ratwar 04:21, 2 November 2009 (UTC)


This article is one of many "building" pages that have undergone some serious reworking lately, and I think it showcases these efforts beautifully.  It is highly descriptive, visually interesting, and maintains ease of use.  The work that has gone into articles like this has really paid off and deserves to be recognized; featuring this article would be a great way to highlight all that hard work! –Eshe  01:52, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Support I agree with Eshe's assessment of the article completely.  It's very concise and detailed, and shows the desired final product for one of the site's biggest ongoing projects.  It's certainly worthy of being a featured article. Dlarsh  03:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Support Fabulous job, I can tell a lot of work went to polishing it, as it's complete in information and also clear to read and use. The format and standard of this page will save a lot of work for editors in the future. This site keeps getting better (like the games), and articles like this are what we strive to achieve. I'm proud of everyone involved in this project.     Lukish    21:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Support Agreed per above.  Falling in Reverse 02:35, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Support of course.  I think it's a great article, and the images make it stand out, giving it a polished feel.  --GK  03:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Support: We haven't got a new Featured Article in while, and now there is a good candidate for the next FA. --Timenn-  12:06, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Support: No doubt, this article is good enough for the FA section. --Krusty 15:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

;Consensus: Support.  Selected as Featured Article on 14 Oct 2009.  –Eshe  01:11, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Yashazmus
This is one of the most complete pages of the Tamriel Rebuilt section of the wiki. It looks good, it contains all the information available of Yashazmus, which is a magnificent place within the Telvanni Isles. This page was mainly created by CAGE, although I started it. Because of the high quality and because it is a great example of what we are trying to produce with the Tamriel Rebuilt wiki, I nominate this article to be the site's Featured Article.Theviking 22:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: This page is very good, but I think it needs more polish before it can be truly great. With consistent looking maps and clearer screenshots, we could probably feature this. --   Lukish    15:17, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Support: Good page, and shows off some of the best features of Tamriel Rebuilt. –rpeh  08:42, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: I like the page overall, good descriptions and nice research. Nevertheless, I think the screenshots could be much better, as I’m having a hard time figuring out exactly what is going on - even when I look at them in full resolution. If they can be improved, I will definitely support this page. Krusty 15:37, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Support: I think Yashazmus is good enough for a featured article. The page looks very neat and is nice to read and look over.           15:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: This isn't one of the better articles on the wiki, and it has multiple issues. The masses of paragraphs, the massive space in the middle, the extremely dark images, etc. –Elliot   15:32, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
::*Comment: Masses of paragraphs? Since when is it a bad idea to have content? Calliope 15:37, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
:::*Comment: Unigraphs. They are bad. –Elliot   15:46, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
  Removing vote of suspected sockpuppet –Eshe  23:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Grudging opposition: While I agree the screenshots suffer from... er... sameness, I'm not sure how much can be done about that, since this is an article for a dungeon.  The maps, though, really should conform to the Morrowind map guidelines (ie. black background), and I can't support the nomination for this article until that's fixed, because the water backgrounds are very obvious, and the maps are thus internally inconsistent as well as inconsistent with the Morrowind map guidlines.  Regardless, the quality of the article itself is quite high; if the three maps were fixed I would have no objections.  JKing 17:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Oppose: I think it's pretty good for a mod article, but I'd agree that the images and maps need improving before I'd be willing to feature the page. –Eshe  23:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

;Consensus: Oppose.  Nomination deleted: not supported.  –Eshe  23:02, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


This is the first article to be "finished" by the Oblivion NPC Redesign Project. It's a perfect example of what the project was intended to achieve: multiple editor input (this one has project-specific input from me, Timenn and Krusty), and has all the details necessary to fully describe this NPC. The project has been - and still is - a difficult one, but I think we should celebrate the first results. –Rpeh  14:17, 12 April 2009 (EDT)
Support: I agree, this shows exactly what we want to do with the project and it might attract more project members. I, myself would like to help, but I don't have oblivion right now. When I do get it back, I would be glad to help. (Gryphon553 20:26, 13 April 2009 (EDT))
Support: This article proves what a difference this project has made to the Oblivion namespace. If I were to need information on Adanrel, I'm sure I'd find everything I need to know here. Great work guys! --Matthewest  22:01, 13 April 2009 (EDT)
Support: Aye, per above. --Michaeldsuarez   14:25, 17 April 2009 (EDT)
Support: Nicely done! I hope other NPC-articles are soon finished! :D --Neekerisanni123 07:54, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
Support: Yup. A good example for the results of the project. --Timenn  &lt;   &gt;   08:28, 29 April 2009 (EDT)
Support: Looking good although it would be a bit better if it was organised under headings -- Reigning Dragon 06:33, 7 May 2009 (EDT)

;Consensus: Support.  Selected as Featured Article on 7 May 2009  --GuildKnight  07:21, 7 May 2009 (EDT)


One of our larger articles. It contains a lot of well categorised information, with an easy-to-use TOC, nicely layed out descriptions and images. It's also well linked, and, overall, is very pleasing to the eye. - Game Lord  11:36, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Support: Yes - it's a good page and offers a good summary of the enemies a player will face. –Rpeh  13:53, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Tentatively support: The content of the article is indeed excellent, providing pertinent information, cross-references to variants, etc. and also some excellent screenshots showing off the creatures in question.  My only problem with the article is with the index table at the top.  On narrow display canvases like mine, it tends to look rather bad.  This can be easily solved by using multiple tbodys instead of column groups for the creature types, but I expect this is a wiki-wide table style, so it doesn't affect my support of this article as such. JKing 15:14, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Support: An excellent page to refer to when discovering your advantages with the boots of the crusader. --M'aiq the Liar   14:56, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
Support: Packed with useful information and easy on the eye. Dr Jones 08:36, 9 November 2008 (EST)
Support: Mainly adding my vote so that it meets the "five votes" criterion, but this nomination has been up for a long time, and the article is good enough by my book, so might as well move the process along and encourage future nominations. --TheRealLurlock   18:18, 22 January 2009 (EST)
