== [[Backstab]] ==

I nominate the page [[Backstab]], as it shows the proper [[Featured article criteria]] and contains information that any person that uses the Spy class should really tune into.

*'''Comment''': A bit more formatting is required. More pictures and examples may be useful. The Trivia and Related Achievements should be towards the bottom, as the backstab techniques can be considered more important --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]]&nbsp;{{mod}}&nbsp;[[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 18:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
**{{C|Support}}: I agree. I'll get to reorganizating the sections right away and see what photos I can add to the article. ----- [[User:Davtwan|Davtwan]] 23:58, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
**'''Comment''': I have finished the major revisions to the article. Add your comments and questions here or to the article's [[Talk:Backstab|Discussion page]].
**{{C|Support}}: this is a great article for a great tactic in the game[[User:Ares5566|Ares5566]] 02:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== [[Game Modes]] ==

Informative with a lot of pictures and a good layout. Also explains a lot to any new players checking out this Wiki. --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]]&nbsp;{{mod}}&nbsp;[[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 20:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== [[User:Firestorm]] ==

A very well-formatted page with a very comprehensive and detailed description of the subject. The page is colorful with plenty of pictures. The subject may be prone to lapses of extreme egotism, but otherwise is a stalwart example of a person. -- [[User:Firestorm|A user that isn't Firestorm]] 23:23, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:That article sucks. It's the worst article of this wiki. I'm deleting it right now. -- [[User:OluapPlayer|<font color="red">'''OluapPlayer'''</font>]] <sub>([[User_talk:OluapPlayer|t]])</sub> {{adm}} [[File:User OluapPlayer Sig.png|Howdy, pardner!]] 23:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

::: {{C|Support|Stalwart Support}} Page has been updated, it is now better than before, something that was previously thought impossible --[[User:Firestorm|<font color="#FF6600"><tt><big><u>'''Firestorm'''</u></big></tt></font>]] {{mod}} 22:30, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
:::: {{C|Support}} It's an impressive example of a unique, well-made User page. It is informative, but still entertaining. It is long, but still interesting. It is orange, but still easy on the eyes. Also, supporting this is a good excuse for me to throw up my new signature again, which I really do love a little too much. -- [[Image:User Alex2539 Sig.png|link=User:Alex2539]] -- 06:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Thorough and well-written with images and a video. -[[User:Shine|<font color="#666666">'''Shine'''</font>]]&nbsp;({{mod}}) 06:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
:{{c|Support}} I rewrote some of it, and am not entirely happy with it, but what the hell. --[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]] 16:20, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

== Compression Blast ==

I'd like to nominate the [[Compression Blast]] page; it follows all the criteria and is incredibly informative. [[User:Shaleblade|Shaleblade]] 21:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
