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   18:05, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support: I agree. I'll get to reorganizating the sections right away and see what photos I can add to the article. ----- 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 Discussion page.
  •  Support: this is a great article for a great tactic in the gameAres5566 02:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
  •  Support: I totally agree Octaytse 04:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
  •  Oppose: I do not agree. I do not think an action, or type of kill should be featured. Renaman 13:54, 20 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. --Firestorm   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) 23:39, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

 Support Picard Incognito 23:49, 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)

 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)

 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. -- -- 06:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 Support Because --MESSAGE REDACTED-- ~ lhavelund ^{(talk ▪ contrib)} 06:25, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

 Impulsive support I have no idea why. He sounds awesome though. +1 Jk. He has a large, intriguing, and enlightening anecdote about this particular user.

 Oppose I believe that if you were to place a user page in the featured article box, newer users might become confused if they were to be imminently met with a user, rather than helpful information. Renaman 13:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Buff Banner

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

 Support I rewrote some of it, and am not entirely happy with it, but what the hell. --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. Shaleblade 21:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose Whilst it is indeed informative, there seem to be a bit too many videos and the paragraphs are all clumped together, making it a very difficult read. It perhaps needs a bit more tweaking.--Focusknock s 20:06, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Hydro

i nominate tc_hydro a well written article explaining to the best of it's ability what this mode is about using video pictures and well organized sections on top of that the map's unique well thought out game mode needs to be recognizedAres5566 02:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

 Support I also feel it is a substantial and well written articles. It has plenty of pictures and videos, and it is intricate without being hard to read.

Horseless Headless Horsemann's Headtaker

An informative page demonstrating how articles should be written, contains pictures, A demonstration video, as well as interesting trivia. Images are relevant, even showing how the weapon looks when not wielded by a player. Has basic facts which are sweetened by uncommon knowledge. I nominate this page due to its excellent quality and easy to read format. Cidem 06:18, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Direct Hit

I'd like to nominate the Direct Hit article. It's very informative, is well-written and has interesting and relevant trivia. Kane.malakos 20:27, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

hound dog

i nominate the hound dog because of it being an awesome hatIaindude 09:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose Please give more information regarding why this article should be nominated. It looks like your normal Hat page. Kevschow 21:15, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hacking

Well written, exteremly informative, and it will help new people to understand that sometimes a good player isn't always a hacker. Renaman 13:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose: 'I do not agree. I do not think an action should be a featured article' dirty hypocrit Strobe 13:58, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
