Halopedia talk:Featured/Article

Wow this is HORRIBLE
Featured articles are a shell of what it used to be.

We used to get new ones EVERY WEEK, and now we have had the same one for almost OVER A YEAR.

This is a travesty and genocide to the once good name of halopedia--76.173.255.40 11:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree we need a new one. --Heroicpotatoe 17:55, October 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * You want a new Featured Article? Then I suggest you go through all of our articles and work on one.

It has been over two years now. I like ODSTs and all, but seriously? - DinoBenn says "Fight to the End,  Never Give In"   03:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * If we want a new featured article I guess we will have to do what CT said. How about the Wraith? Sith-venator Wavingstrider ODST Crest.png ( Commlink ) 22:37, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, this is utterly ridiculous. The ODSTs have been the featured article for far too damn long. Seriously, it's time for a new featured article. Otherwise, you guys might as well do away with this feature altogether. There is no point in keeping around a feature nobody's ever going to use again.Fire Eater 00:38, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Look at my comment above....frakkin' lazy idiots.


 * I know a new FA was declared recently, but I think the users above were trying to say that there are articles on the wiki that are worth FA status (hence the new one), but haven't been declared so by whoever makes such ... declarations. Or were you suggesting they find an article of such a caliber and nominate it? - Lord Hyren 07:00, March 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * In the time that people have brought concerns of an FA drought I have not seen a single request for an FA approval come across my "desk".


 * The FA should be a monthly basis operation where articles would be nominated and the best will be chosen as the featured article, similar like the FOTM process.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 16:56, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Preston Jeremiah Cole
An excellent article, excellently written with solid sourcing and notes per the new sourcing guidelines. Evolutions has provided a lot of new information for him and I think the article warrants some time as a featured article. -  S.B.44    [Talk] |undefined 01:12, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) - I was just thinking this the other day. It's very well written, very detailed and well sourced. It's featured article material in my book. - Black Mesa.jpg  Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  01:16, February 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) - Hell yeah! The article is very well witten, and we have not had a new fetured article in almost 2 years I think. --"We are not backing down now. Besides, I dont like losing, remember?" User: Yugiohtipman34 01:19, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Neutral

 * 1) Being a picky bastard right now; sources should be well cited; that includes page numbers and what chapters they were mentioned/appeared in and formatted properly. Some of the content looks legit but potentially well made-up. Citations would clear things up. And yes, I'm just voicing my opinion on how to further improve the article and am not going to do it right now.外国 人 (7alk ) 01:38, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Catherine Elizabeth Halsey (Won)
Dr. Halsey is an integral part of the Halo canon. From her development of the MJOLNIR armor system, to the augmentations performed on the Spartan-II's, and even the creation of Cortana, Halsey has indirectly saved humanity many times. She has not been directly mentioned in any of the games but it is clear that she is one of the most important characters in halo universe and warrants featured article status. In addition to this it is a well written article, and fits all of CommanderTony's new criteria for featured articles. -  S.B.44    [T] |undefined 03:47, March 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) It's a well written, and sourced, article. There's a few places, currently, where inline citations are scarce (working on that), but those are far and few between. If FA's are to be a regular event this would be a good one to move on to. -- Lord Hyren 04:29, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

New Mombasa
New Mombasa has had a flood of new information upon the release of ODST, and it has been maintained to a high standard since then. It is well written, laid out accordingly, fully sourced, has a fine amount of images in the main article, and a sizable gallery. Being such an integral part of the series, being a main setting in Halo 2 and Halo 3: ODST, its article does it justice. It fits all of CT's new Featured Article criteria. -  Halo-343   ( Talk )   ( Contribs )   ( Edits )  20:17, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
