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 --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 18:05, 22 July 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. --Firestorm  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. -- 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. -- OluapPlayer (t) Howdy, pardner! 23:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Please provide feedback, that the page may be made better to live up to your strict standards --Firestorm 23:41, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Stalwart Support Page has been updated, it is now better than before, something that was previously thought impossible --Firestorm 22:30, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png 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. -- User Alex2539 Sig.png -- 06:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Thorough and well-written with images and a video. -Shine () 06:11, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
