To begin, the article has 7 pictures that when enlarged, you can clearly see the fine detail of the gun. Second of all, the article has a decent opening paragraph telling us what games we can find the weapon in, and whether or not it can have an attachment in a particular game. Third of all, We have a good history section on it telling us who used the gun during WW2, how it was used, and how people saw it as a fine, powerful weapon. Moreover, we have good information on it's appearances in Call of Duty, UO and Call of Duty 3, telling us anywhere from what levels we can find it in too it's fire mode (semi etc). Furthermore, we have a lot of information on it's appearance in Call of Duty 5 which most people will be going to read about. We have a good paragraph on it's appearance in single player and a great useful paragraph for multiplayer telling us how to use the weapon effectivly and what perks go best with it.

Support This is actually a great article. I will clean it up as much as I can. I will support for the time being, at least until a new nomination is made.

Oppose - we just had a gun article-- 14:34, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per BigM, we just had a gun article and need something new. WouldYouKindly 17:31, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Der Riese
How about der riese? It is very long and informative, has several pictures, strategies, videos, and It would be a great article to feature in october because of halloween.

Neutral - It's got a ton of information, it's well organized, got plenty of pictures and even a video, and the other Nazi Zombies maps have been featured, so why not complete the set? 02:22, September 2, 2009 (UTC) Edit: Changed to neutral. I do agree that we should wait a few months before featuring Der Reise, as Shi No Numa was recently featured. 20:40, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - we had Shi No Numa in August. We need something new-- 02:38, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - Even though Shi No Numa was featured in August, Der Riese can still be featured. Der Riese is a way better page than when Shi No Numa was featured.--Poketape 03:15, September 2, 2009 (UTC) Edit: Changed to Neutral. I guess I do see the point of variety.--Poketape 03:33, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Strong Oppose No thank you. Variety, my friends, must prevail.

Oppose - We just had Shi No Numa, maybe in a few months --Cpt Jack House 20:28, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - The article still needs a lot of work. An article isn't featured just because it's long, has many images, or is, overall, helpful. An article is featured if it shows an example of our best editing. This article does not. Just skimming through it, I saw many points WHERE PEOPLE USED CAPS LOCK, and EVEN NEEDLESSLY BOLDED WHOLE SEGMENTS. Using CAPS LOCK, bold font, or even BOTH AT ONCE implies rage, does it not? 18:59, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - While it's a good article, I agree with Chia and Bigm. The article is still in need of a major cleanup, and we need something that isn't a map or gun article. WouldYouKindly 18:12, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Edward Richtofen
Richtofen is by far one of the most interesting characters in the game, plus we need something new and we haven't had an article on a person in a while, if ever.-- 02:41, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Support - as nom-- 02:41, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Support - I like this article, and Richtofen is one of my favorite characters in CoD5. I want to see a character on the main page.

Neutral - Although the article is somewhat short, it would still be great to feature an article about a character as I think it would be the first time. However, until a few more pictures are added, I will remain neutral. 20:00, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Support - I'll see if I can get any non-crappy pictures from my TV, as I'm a console gamer, but it's not too much of a concern at the moment. Other than that, I agree with E.TALE. 22:34, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Strong Support We haven't had any (maybe one) characters featured, and this one is one of the most interesting for his double personality. (Edward/Richthofen) He is also one that people want to know more about. If it weren't for the wiki, people probably wouldn't know he was Edward.--Poketape 03:33, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Support - The article's a bit short and could do with a bit of a cleanup, but it'd be nice to have a featured article that isn't a gun or map article for once. WouldYouKindly 17:36, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

Support - I agree with WYK; the article is somewhat short, but there's little crap in it and we need a FA that isn't a map or gun. Darkman 4 18:00, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
