Stalingrad

• Neutral as nominator I Fedarated AK74-u, nominate this article for FA status as when it was on improvement drive, every active user including me helped out a bit. Fedarated AK74-u 23:43, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Though better then most, i think the article needs a major copy edit. Its sentencing could be improved and so could the infobox. БοņёŠɓɤĭĠ₳₯є 23:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose pending corrections - The article seriously needs to be spell checked and it needs more sources. If these are fixed then I will gladly change to support--Rs4life07 23:53, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

• CommentId say like 1% of our articles our sourced, because if we source them, we delete like 100 articles because more than 400 articles are unsourced

Mile High Club

I nominate this article for featured status because to be honest, our current one kinda sucks, and I think this one is very good. Creepydude 21:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Very well written, contains many pictures.--Bigm279301:53, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

This looks like a solid article. My only thought on the matter is that we have only had Mile High Club as a featured article for about 4 days. We should space out our articles a little more. Maybe that is what you had in mind.

Ok, you've got my vote. M/Sgt. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 00:28, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I agree also. German military has a unique history, and it is very interesting to users. 06:43, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Nice article, it has good information, lots of pics, good use of the headlines. Practically looks like a featured article. I Ross I

Yes, I am nominating this for the next fa which should be changed every month ideally.--Bigm279322:40, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Everyone please post things that need to be improved or corrected under this text I know the article is not up to FA status yet so please add your commments/criticism underneath this text so that the issues may be dealt with.

Needs to have a general brush-over for innacuracies, quality text and grammar. Nothing specific from me yet. M/Sgt. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 17:34, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Will do. If anyone wants to help feel free--Bigm279320:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Added a "Bundeswehr" picture, as it was just floating around in the "unused pictures" gallery. I think it adds... Oh, and why won't the thumbnail picture of the wehrmacht in winter uniforms go in its directed place? I can't get it to go in the "Wehrmacht" area. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here!

Perhaps, maybe add links to the picture headlines, but that might be a little much. I Ross I

RFA closed; successful nomination. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here!

Nacht der Untoten

I nominate Nacht der Untoten for featured status. It is a well-written article, although it needs a little cleanup, and it has a couple of pictures with easily another few added. I will take a screenshot of the writing on the walls next time I play, and add it to the article. Help to tidy it up a little would be appreciated, and I think once it is done, it will be perfect. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here!

Support as stated above. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here!

Support - Many users or viewers will want to learn more of CoD: WaW with its launch. Many of them will hear stories of Nazi Zombies and thus it will seem like a good welcoming mat (beinvidos as the Spaniards say) for viewers to become users if anything. If not, a cheerful smile will represent the sum of the wiki of CoD. A highly popular game within CoD: WaW will be a nice featured article for this wiki.

Support Unique gameplay style and a nice change from the usual competitive multiplayer. --Azncutthroat 21:04, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Support Well written article. plus the fact of zombies will make players interested. Techman224 03:55, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Oppose The article may be well written, but its still new and subject to many changes. We should shoot for a more aged and advanced article. Yes Nazi zombies are cool, but the page needs to be cleaned up, and original pictures should be added. We should revert to this page in later months. 15:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well written article, very helpful to a noobie at zombie mode--Bigm279300:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hess36 gives a good point, but if we don't find another "aged" article, then we might just have to go with this one. Any suggestions? BG. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 03:05, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Age has nothing to do with quality. Also Creepy why give in so easily? By giving in your basically doing the opposite of what was decided when I gave you admin powers. If consensus of 80% or higher is reached then there is no reason to stop an article or a person from getting what they have been approved for. --Bigm279318:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Not giving in; far from it. If you read what I said, I'm totally saying that we should still do this article, but it would be ideal to have another older like he said. Oh, and as you can see, my vote still stands. BG. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 23:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Im just stating my beliefs. As I said its a very good article, but it still can use some changes. No need to get angry bigm 04:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Support - This article about zombies are sure to draw attention of users. BPL 21:57, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well written and formatted article (I remember what it looked like before) and I like the idea with something with Call of Duty 5. Col. I Ross I ^Talk

Support - Very detailed! Darkman 4 00:06, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Support - A good article. It's good enough to be featured. Sgt. Chiafriend^Rifleman 01:12, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Support - I dont know if im eligible to vote because i don't actually have a major edit but i did tell creepy about a mistake on the nazi zombie article, and i didn't notice any other mistakes in the article. - BR Ninja15

Sure, you can vote; all opinions are valid. The rules and policies are there as general guidelines, but if you have something worth saying, then by all means, go ahead. Refer to the Ignore all rules policy. ;) Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 22:16, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Barrett .50cal

Now I know this may not be our biggest or best article but its one of the most viewed articles on the wiki. It has pictures, a video, in game AND real life explanations, and references. I think that we should not always go with our biggest articles because this article shows that even tiny articles can have a big impact.--Bigm279320:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - as nominator. --Bigm279320:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Needed some fixing but is a good choice. Col. I Ross I ^Talk 20:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

MP-40

The MP40 article includes quite a few pictures, a lot of information and it has a video! But I haven't really been on this wiki for long, has it been featured before? If not, let's go with this idea for a front pager. -- JKdap 09:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC) 10:23, 16th February 2009 (GMT)

Neutral - Its a good article but i think we should feature this after the uber sniper rifle above. And you forgot to say you support, you need to be very clear when voting or there could be a miscount. BR Ninja15 23:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Sorry, it's good but not as good as the other articles out there. Also, you should not have done the "lets have an idea as a front pager:" thing, if you think it is good, take it to the forums. Joem25 ^{iTalk iWork} 23:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

First to Fight

support - I think First to Fight should be a featured article. The article has a picture, It is long enough, and is categorized. Also there are sources showing where the information came from. --cod1 16:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Poorly written and extremely short.--Bigm2793 14:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Neutral - Its good but there are better articles out there. BR Ninja15 15:47, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I think that featuring that article would be taking a step backwards. There are so many better articles out there. Perhaps if the article was cleaned up it may bring in more support. Col. I Ross I ^Talk 20:19, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - I agree with I Ross I. I think One Shot, One Kill would be better

Oppose - Well-written and would be nearly FA status after a cleanup, but the fact is very few people play the DS CoD:WaW and the article isn't precisely a good example of the wiki, which is what the FA is supposed to be. Good job anyways cod1. ;) Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 05:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

One Shot, One Kill

I nominate One Shot, One Kill for featured status. It's a pretty long article, has a detailed walkthrough with tips, contains a lot of trivia and even has a video. The article explains things quite meticulously in my opinion. I believe it might be one of our more elaborate single player articles. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 12:21, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

oppose- I think there are better articles out there --cod1 15:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The only reason you voted oppose is because its beating your article...I'm tempted to just strike through your vote...--Bigm2793 18:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

<Well you were kind of mean, if you dont think an article is good enough then say it politely and give advice on how they can improve it. He made First to Fight himself and the article is amazing considering its about a nintendo DS game. BR Ninja15 15:32, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Saying it was poorly written was being nice IMO. That article is shit, its like he basically threw spelling and grammar to the wind.--Bigm2793 15:46, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, Bigm, but you're kind of being a loser to cod1. He's just recommending an article. --;D MWAHAHA!!! 20:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, if the article got a cleanup, the only reason I would hesitate would be because not many people play the DS version of the game. BigM, that kind of attitude doesn't belong here. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 20:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - I probably couldn't have beaten the mission without these strategies. Joem25 ^{iTalk iWork} 23:22, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well-written, nice and big, etc... For the final step, I'll collapsify that template at the bottom. Creepydude ^Sniper Say Some'at Here! 20:07, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Support -Well written and an absolutly awesome mission. i think its a winner ERyan 02:00, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

"This is a very good weapon and should be recognized for it" - as nominator User:Zacharyk88 8:23 22 April 2009 UTC

Oppose Not long enough, more info needed on Cod1 and Cod2 sections. And just because it is a good weapon doesn't mean it gets to be a feautured article Callofduty4 20:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Oppose Mostly just one, disorganised chunk of text, which is not particularly detailed. I cant see any reason for this article to be nominated. Gimme dosh 20:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - per above--Bigm2793 10:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

How about Verruckt? It's in the new map pack so it would be interesting to read about. —Unsigned comment was added by 216.82.172.154

Strong Support - Over the course of two months, this page has gone from a sentence to one of the most informative pages on the wiki. This page gets an average of about 8 edits a day, all adding something more to an already extraordinary article. This page has my full support to be a featured article. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 23:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I support too :) Gimme dosh 00:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

CoDFan3 23:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC)I support this article as well, as It is probably one of the best articles we have here, and it deserves to be the featured article if you ask me. User:CoDFan3

Support - This is one of our best articles. Darkman 4 04:46, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Strong Support - This article is constantly added too, and the increased publicity on the main page would help increase its size! It is also well written not by just 1 person but by many CoD wiki editors. Also one more thing is that Nacht der Untoten was featured, so it would be funny to see the other zombie map featured! Callofduty4 17:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I nomintate this article because not only did anyone else nomintate an article, but because this article shows the history behind the famouse Call of Duty 3 multiplayer map. This map was by far my favorite and I am sure it was many of yours as well.

Oppose It does not seem as good as several other articles. If you would like to, you can improve it and nominate it again. Joem25 ^{iTalk iWork}

<font color=Oppose - Yes, it does have a lot of backstory, but there's more background than Call of Duty so to speak. Some expansion would be nice, but there doesn't seem to be that pizazz that screams, "FEATURED!" to me. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 00:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

<font color=Comment like i stated above i nominated the article because no one else nominated anything yet. I know it isnt the best article (couldnt think of anything at the time) but it was a fun map.

<font color=WhiteyT6 ^{What u want?}

<font color=05:54, 16 May 2009 (UTC) <font color=Oppose It is very informative but lacks information on the Call of Duty side. Callofduty4 08:56, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

<font color=Crew Expendable

<font color=Yeah yeah yeah, another level for featured status. This however, is one of the finest. The plot summary is actually much longer than some of the other levels, elaborating on what was already established by the end of the level. Some of the trivia in the article are very good observations that one might find interesting. The walkthrough is a very nice touch, providing tips and suggestions that a reader would find very useful. Bovell ^{Talk | Contrib.} 00:55, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

<font color=Support All I can say is that I agree with Maj. Bovell. The way the mission is laid out, along with the graphics, makes the walk-through the most unique walk-through of any of Call of Duty 4's predecessors. Obi-Wan Kenobody 05:26, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

<font color=Support - Wonderful article with a detailed walkthrough.--Bigm2793 09:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
