Bonk! Atomic Punch

The Bonk! Atomic Punch page is pretty full. I did a bit of sprucing up on it this morning, and it doesn't look half bad, I think. Not to say it looked bad before, it was just a good before! But now it's like, super good. It's got trivia for the nerds and bugs for people to mack fun of, too! And get a load of that thick, juicy update history. Don't even get me started on crafting! This article is pretty much, in my opinion, the weapon article. SilverHammer 23:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

 Support While it's not the most relevant of articles at this time, I must admit that it is a very good written article. I would fully support it being a Featured Article. TheTimesAndQueriesOfMyAss 20:52, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

 Support A very fun wep and a nice page.-- RRaccoon99 19:53, 4 November 2011 (PDT)

Headless Horseless Horseman

I nominate the HHH as it is informitive, interesting, and goes by the required set of rules for a featured article. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sandvich Heavinski (talk) • (contribs) 23:32, 14 January 2011

Probably not the best idea since it is quite cluttered and in need of a cleanup.--Focusknock 23:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 Disagree NO! We already have a nomation of the HHH from scoutcast, we don't need another one!- RRaccoon99 17:16, 21 November 2011 (PST)

 Comment Uhh, this was the first nomination on that article, not the other way round.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 10:30, 17 December 2011 (PST)

Dr. Grordbort's Victory Pack

I Believe that the featured article should be about the current update, And when there hasn't been any updates for a while, It can then be a completely different article. I'm sure this has been brought up before but I'm just putting it out there. Ihasnotomato

 Disagree It's too recent (hence the recent addition template) and too small. Also, sign your posts with ~~~~ instead of manually entering a link to your userpage.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 05:05, 22 July 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree Too short. Notice that the TF2 blog post is actually longer than the explanatory text itself. EuphoriA 22:10, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

Holiday cards

It's small, there's very little information, very few links, but damned if it won't be a cute article to have on the front page in December. Getting it in the system early c: --SilverHammer 22:07, 4 August 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree Too small, too few info, not relevant enough; these may change if some dedicates part of their time to improve it, but not good enough to be featured yet.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 10:13, 5 August 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree There's not much information on the page, and it's not timely, if it were November, it might be different, but it's August. --_Sp3c^Talk 21:09, 7 August 2011 (PDT)

Did you read what I wrote, Sp3c? Specifically, "but damned if it won't be a cute article to have on the front page in December. Getting it in the system early"? --SilverHammer 11:41, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Comment Could use a bit of work, it's quite simple right now. Not sure what else could go on it though. -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

Trading

Trading has become a major aspect of TF2, and remains a mechanic that a lot of players, especially Free to Play players, don't really understand. This article is well written, concise, and contains a lot of useful and relevant information. I think it would be a fantastic featured article. EuphoriA 22:03, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support It could use a little cleaning, but I generally agree with what you said. --SilverHammer 22:12, 1 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support Agreed, could be helpful to new users -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree I don't think it's good enough for featuring, yet.  –  Cructo [T][C] 14:41, 16 August 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree In light of recent vents, I am inclined to redact my original agree until the article is in better condition. --SilverHammer 22:21, 16 August 2011 (PDT)

Help:Style guide/Trivia

More necessary than any other. --SilverHammer 19:27, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

 Neutral Important, but not actually relevant to the game itself.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 19:29, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

 Disagree Trivia is good stuff, and knowing what to do to post or edit it is even moreso, but most come here to learn about the game, not the Wiki work they likely don't plan on doing. Triscuitable 19:26, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

Halloween Special 2011 or Horseless Headless Horseman

It's almost that time of year folks!

The very instant this update gets released I think it should go straight to the featured article section and stay there for the next fortnight. Can't wait to bash the crap out of the HHH -- ScoutKast 01:41, 15 September 2011 (PDT)

The former doesn't exist (and if it did, it'd be too small/too recent/in need of a revision), and the latter already has a topic in this page.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 18:59, 19 September 2011 (PDT)

Medieval_Mode

I am nominating the Medieval Mode page as it is well written, contains a good amount of informative information, and last but not least, is very funny in my opinion. --Sp3ctr3 23:42, 24 July 2011 (PDT)

 Support Good article, very well written and informative. PhantomLimb 18:06, 27 July 2011 (PDT)

 Support A surprisingly well done article. The number of chat replacements is simply priceless -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support Very popular game mode so it would be helpful. MaxMan1300 14:11, 6 October 2011 (PDT)

 Support I actully Like the Mode. I've gotten over the Made for Demoknights thing. But still. Like the Dreamcast, It was a star. Was great, but lived shortly. --RRaccoon99 09:16, 13 November 2011 (PST)

Featured Article on the Team Fortress Classic Main Page

the teamfortress classic main page doesnt have a featured article. why not give it one? scout maybe? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by DJLO (talk) • (contribs)

Please don't forget to sign your posts when posting on any discussion pages. As for the featured article, I have no idea what you mean. So no opinion. --SilverHammer 21:15, 18 August 2011 (PDT)

This made no sense, so I'm just going to put my opinion as  Brainfart. Good day.

Edit: He wants to feature a Team Fortress Classic article on the Team Fortress Classic Main Page on this wiki, because it's currently a Spanish "Example" featured article. In Spanish. So let's change the title to be less "confusing".Triscuitable 20:43, 19 August 2011 (PDT)

That's Latin. BTW,  Support. The Classic pages need a bit more of attention, and that would certainly help.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 19:28, 24 August 2011 (PDT)

 Brainfart Wait, What? - RRaccoon99 18:07, 17 November 2011 (PST)

Item quality

It's informative and well written, and it's also relevant. I don't see why not.  –  Ohyeahcrucz [T][C] 21:50, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

 Support A good article to feature in the future -- Firestorm 14:47, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

 Support Sounds good. Will help new players. --ChaosSoldier1 03:42, 28 February 2012 (PST)ChaosSoldier1

Patches

I think this article should be nominated for Featured Article because:

1. It is informative and well-formatted, helping both new and old players access patch and update information.

2. Compared with the TF2 Blog, this page gives a more direct way to access information.

--What Up? 12:56, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support A fun little insight into TF2 history with the patches. I like it. -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support Well, history is built with small patches here and there, and so is TF2. This one is nice.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:40, 16 November 2011 (PST)

ÜberCharge

A well written article, referring to the variants, functions, and methods of using an ÜberCharge, including strategies on how to preserve or rapidly obtain an Über, which makes it not only informative, but undeniably useful for new players wanting to play the Medic class. I believe that this article, while smaller than most, is incredibly well done, and deserves to be featured. Apologies for the run on sentence.

Edit: Signed it.Triscuitable 02:09, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

 Neutral Will agree as soon as a better picture is added to the article. That is literally my only issue with it, but it's a big enough issue for me that I can't agree until then. Nonetheless, it's a well-written article and you bring up many, many good points in that single sentence.--SilverHammer 02:21, 13 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support CHARGE ME! Also SilverHammer the pic was changed recently, is that good for you?  –  Cructo [T][C] 12:11, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

It's good enough for me to change my choice to  Support, but I'd really rather it was... pretty much an exact remake of the Viaduct art from the Classless Update with Uber skins. You can't see the Medigun or the healbeam or anything. Still, better than it was. --SilverHammer 12:13, 17 August 2011 (PDT)

 Neutral I'd like a better image as well, showing that the Medic is a big part of the uber process -- Firestorm 00:01, 16 October 2011 (PDT)

Non-player characters

Complete and informative, includes several pics and tons of information about the game's backstory. That 50 kilobytes article is one of this Wiki's "masterpieces", and it certainly deserves more attention.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 11:42, 13 November 2011 (PST)

 Yes I like this page. So many characters! -- Firestorm 12:00, 18 November 2011 (PST)

 Support, because Team Fortress 2 has a great scenario, colorful characters and great sense of humor. But... It's better to put this article in "Index" category. This page is informative and deserves to be on a main page! Limie Pie 03:45, 28 February 2012 (PST)

Über Update

For being a damn fine page and update in itself.  –  Cructo [T][C] 17:54, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Neutral It's a little too recent, but I wouldn't complain. --SilverHammer 17:57, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Comment Nice, but not terribly exciting. Will consider for future Feature -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support I found the Update GREAT in content and the Build up to the Meet the medic video. And Cructo, I agree with you, It is a fine update. User:RRaccoon99

First Annual Saxxy Awards

I think that this is worthy of being nominated for a Featured Article because:
- It is formatted well.
- It is informative on the categories and who won each of them.
- Gives new users insight into the Team Fortress 2 Community.
- The links are correct.

Edit: it is now signed :)

--What Up? 12:56, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support  –  Cructo [T][C] 17:55, 8 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support Looks good, very nice to have all the links to the videos -- Firestorm 08:13, 9 August 2011 (PDT)

 Support Pretty nice article. This one certainly should be featured later.  –  Epic Eric (T | C) 13:40, 16 November 2011 (PST)

 Support I think this may be worth having up, especially if the 2nd annual Saxxy Awards come up soon - Mellotaku, The Sorcerous Shapeshifter 22:31, 8 July 2012 (PDT)
