You can vote on and nominate multiple articles at the same time. Articles are not competing with each other, and multiple articles can be added to the improvement drive at the same time.

Pistols featured in Call of Duty:World at War
With the exeption of the M1911 and the .357 Magnum, the articles for the pistols featured in World at War need major help. As with many articles, the trivia section for these articles rival the main content of the article (single player, multiplayer) in terms of size. Though size isn't everything, these articles are still lacking content of decent quality. Take the P-38 article for example. The Cod3 section only has a paragraph, no pictures. The WaW section is almost just as bad. The SP section only has a paragraph as well, and the multiplayer section only has one flimsy sentence. The only good thing about it is the pictures (Like actually? Pictures? What a surprise!) and the infobox with the stats (Wow! Another big surprise!).

Oppose- I believe that the pages are needing work, but aren't very significant to need to be put into the improvement drive. They're handguns, secondary weapons. They don't have to have a ton of information. The M1911 is a big article because it's in every game to date. That constitutes a lot of content to be put in. The P-38 is used in 2 games, one of which it doesn't appear in single player. The others only appear in 1-3 or so games. @ Hax 217: I edited the P-38 page and expanded the WAW multiplaye section.

 * Comment - The .357 Magnum has only been featured in one game, but its article has a hell lot more than the other sidearm articles.Hax_217_Sig_2_Header.jpgHax_217_Sig_2_Talk.jpgHax_217_Sig_2_Contibs.jpgHax_217_Sig_2_Editcount.jpg 01:50, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose - I think the cleanup template will do the trick for the 3 WaW pistol articles. 01:33, June 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - The cleanup template is used for an article that has all the needed info, but it isn't organized in a proper way. The pistol articles lack info, and until all needed info is there, the cleanup page would serve no purpose.00:43, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Comment Please list the specific articles you are nominating so there is no confusion.  Poketape Talk  15:30, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

List — The articles that I am nominating are as follows:
 * Nambu
 * Walther P38
 * TT-33

17:01, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I have recently added to the P38 article for Call of Duty 3, and the Nambu doesn't have much more to be added to it. The TT-33 could use some more information on older Call of Duty games, but I'll spiff up the CoD2 section adn revise the WaW section. SSDGFCTCT9  天皇陛下萬歳！ 02:20, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

World War II
I brought this up in the RL project it simply has way to much info for someone to realisticly do it on their own and with all the games no one could delete all the RL info and add comprhensive info about it featured in game considering how many games take place in that great shining moment in human history. If any one thinks they can than do it and prove me wrong I would love that but otherwise we need the community.

Article is too small; trivia section is greater in size than the rest of the article. 20:23, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Support - As Nominator 20:25, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral - I don't think there's really much more we can write about him, without there being lots of speculation.

Oppose - The article is in a very good shape, it does not need any help. It has ben worked on since CoD4 came out. I think that is long enough. Attack Rhino 23:48, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

comment - What would you add? While he is a fan favorite he is a really insignificant character only appearing in two levels and being mentioned in a few. I really do not see what would be added considering how minor a character he is in the CoD universe. Foxtrot12 05:04, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose Article may be a little short, but there isn't much information to include.  Poketape Talk  15:30, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Luftwaffe
While it is obvious that it will not be deleted in the articles for deletion category. This page is laughable for an enemy that appeared in Call of Duty having no relevent information. And while normally I would go on for another paragraph I will just say this. Needs CoD relevent information.

This article is small and while it's mainly used to redirect people to another page it could also hold some information about the weapon. Talk 02:49, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

It just stops halfway through, and leaves the reader wondering what happens next.
