Ray Gun
I nominate Ray Gun, Chily900

Support as nominator - Chilly900

Oppose There are more deserving articles out there.

Support I think this is a good page and deserves to be a main article. The subject is also interesting.--Poketape 22:34, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Support I think it is a pretty good article, and it is pretty interesting. Attack Rhino 23:20, October 6, 2009 (UTC) P.S. Why do you say no way CoD4?


 * Neutral leaning to oppose - I guess that is true then. We could always have Aftermath of Game Over or something like that? By the way, how should I change my support to neutral? I know how to change the vote, but what about my above comment? Thanks, Attack Rhino 07:24, October 8, 2009 (UTC) P.S. I think it is a really great article, deserving of an FA, but not know. Maybe next year or something.


 * Oppose purely on grounds that there have been many of these articles lately. Would support the article being featured in a few months. Attack Rhino 07:01, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose We just had 3 WW2/COD:5 articles in a row. Let's switch it up a bit. Maybe an online map if we have one that's good enough to be featured. 22:23, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Lets take a step back from World at War for a bit. --Cpt Jack House 14:10, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
I nominate Modern Warfare 2, BiGf00t

Support as nominator. We should use Modern warfare 2 for november dont you think? It is released on the 10th and people will want to know things about it before its release.

Oppose Sorry if I am being harsh but, I think it is a bit of a waste, as if people are wanting to know about MW2 then they will just type it into the wiki anyway. If people do not know about the game, then it can be put into the news section or something else instead. Attack Rhino 07:18, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - wait till December when we actually have all the information-- 10:54, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose I agree with Bigm, well have a lot of info by then and I think it will win by a lot of votes come time. 20:33, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Agree with Bigm. 20:35, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per all. 17:10, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Once the game comes out, the article will be severely changed. I can't support if it's not even out yet, and we still know little about it. 22:16, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - now? no. one month after the games release? hell yeah. --Cpt Jack House 14:26, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - The game isn't even out yet, wait till next month. J-money 12:11 October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I would save the for December so that we know the ending and all the levels and multiplayer. User:Squelliot

Comment - I see now that december would be the best time because of christmas and all of the information will of been collected, so there is no need to vote.

Game Over
A large article, with tons of tips and trivia, and is on a very exciting level. Also this is the last level (story wise) of Call of Duty 4, with Modern Warfare 2 just around the corner i think that this should be article of the month. --Cpt Jack House 00:49, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Support As nominator --Cpt Jack House 00:54, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose We've had tons of Cod4 missions, we should mix it up a little. --Joem25 04:05, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Support I support this article on what Jack said about it being the last level. Attack Rhino 07:08, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Support The fact that it's the last level and the new game is coming out. 16:54, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - It's short, unremarkable and only has 1 picture. Nothing special. 17:10, October 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * No Reason? --Cpt Jack House 18:25, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * Added one. 19:35, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Articles are featured because of their content, not because of what they're about. When it comes to this article's content, it's nothing special. 22:16, October 9, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I think that we should feature a modern warfare article, but they are better ones than this. I think that the Soap MacTavish page would be better.

Der Riese
I nominate Der riese for FA. It's huge, has tons of information, and after Cod6 comes out then no one will want to feature a WaW article. It's got so many glitches, Easter eggs, and anything you can think of. I support --Joem25 19:25, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - We just had a CoD5 featured article. Also, the FA is closely related to der riese. To be honest it is just one heap of unremarkable text, just like the other zombie map pages. We should split the pages up into sub-pages. 19:30, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - seriously enough with the World at War articles, please --Cpt Jack House 20:33, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose I like the page, however I think it's too soon to feature it. Try submitting it again next year because it's too soon to feature it in December too.

MacTavish
I nominate this page upon what BiGf00t said, the fact that it is a really good article anyway, and also that it seems that Soap will be a main character in MW2. I think that it would be really interesting to have a former playable character and current NPC. I think it would be really cool to watch the page evolve and grow as the game is released and played (as lots of new stuff will be added).

Support as nominator. Attack Rhino 01:09, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Oppose I think this page should be featured after Modern Warfare 2 comes out because a lot more information will be added to it. Also... you spelled support wrong.--Poketape 02:48, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment yeah, I think I said it would featured in November, and as MW2 is released midway through (the 16th of something of) November. Are you instead suggesting that it should be featured in December instead? Attack Rhino 03:27, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I think that because MW2 is going to be released during November, a lot of information will be added to Soap's page.  Because of this, an incomplete form of the page would be featured for a third of the month while the other two thirds of the month would include a lot of changes to the page.  The page might change a lot after MW2 comes out and therefore shouldn't be featured yet.--Poketape 03:37, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Support Sure, whenever MW2 comes out, a whole crapload of info would be released.   Maj.Gage   Talk . 10:07, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Support Thanks Attack Rhino. I think this would be a great article because its a change from CoD WaW and it features quite a bit about the new modern warfare coming out in november. BiGf00t 16:00, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral While it is a good article with pictures and good detail, I think we can make it a lot better come November/December after the game is released. 16:31, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - It's a great article, but you see, when an article is featured, it is protected so we can't edit it. So if we made it a featured article, we wouldn't be able to edit it when the game comes out, which is a massive setback. Until we can get this article to be only semi-protected, I will remain Neutral.

Consider that for one. 18:27, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - An article is protected from edits by unregistered users when it is featured, as it then becomes a high traffic page. I'm unsure of any instance in which it has been put under complete protection, as that would defeat the purpose of the article being featured. 18:36, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Actually, the FA has been protected to be sysop-edits-only. I remember because last month I had to pester Darkman once to get a mistake fixed on the STG-44 article WouldYouKindly 18:44, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Neutral While it's a good article and it makes sense to have it for November since that's when MW2's coming out, we'd have to find a way to get all the new stuff edited in without exposing it to vandals, incorrect edits, and the like. WouldYouKindly 18:44, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Yeah, I was just thinking that. There needs to be a way to keep it safe from being over vandalised, while still being able to be featured. By the way, I was not necessarily thinking of this article being featured, I was just thinking of a good way to link MW to MW2. Attack Rhino 22:08, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Comment - Edward Richtofen is only protected against unregistered users. I actually would like to bring this up if it has changed since because it seems entirely counterproductive to say "Oh look here! This article is special! Too bad you can't edit it to make it even better." 22:25, October 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - Hmmm, that is true, and as there will be so much infomation being fed onto these pages in the hours and days of MW2 being released, it would not make much sense. II think it would be good to have at least some level of protection, as otherwise the page would be swamped in spam and being constantly vandalised. I think that if the Talk page is used for unregistered to give info or whatever it would then still be (somewhat) accessable and not keep out the registered users, like us. Attack Rhino 22:30, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Comment - The MacTavish article has quite a lot of information about him from both COD4 and MW2, so really the information still needed isnt the most important as we have that already. So unregistered users should be blocked because of vandalism but registered users will need to access it because of the need to add new info. BiGf00t 16:05, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
