Does not need further explanation AIG 23:44, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Mhenlo

 * ''Rejected 11:45, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Everybody loves or loves to hate Mhenlo. ^^  Sarifael  15:25, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's just one big list, would need substantial editing before I would be in favour of this page. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 15:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed with Salome. While henchmen would be helpful for people to look at (to know their skills, to laugh at some quotes, etc.) just putting up the Henchmen page would be more viable than individual henchmen, as each page is just long lists of locations, levels, skills, and their dialogues. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 19:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Though Henchmen's more helpful than Mhenlo or any other henchman's page, it's got very little to look at and it's for the most part just filled with an ugly list. If the Mhenlo article gets buffed up a bit to show his relevance as a character and not as a henchman, I think it'd look much better. Until then, I'm against this being on the front-page. -- Alex [[Image:User_AlexEternal_Mr_Bear.jpg|19px]]Eternal 21:16, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah imo it needs some lore too as right now you just have those triva notes, and he's quite an important character story-wise too. Also it has an unfinished section. I mean that's pretty minor but for a featured article it ought to be done. 86.24.115.34 16:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. What Salome said. --Xeeron 22:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * should we just change this nomination to the henchmen article?--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 22:58, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No as its all just lists. Either someone needs to research the henchmans lore properly (and their is alot of it) and put that in the relevant articles or I really just don't see the point in featuring these articles. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 13:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * ok so vote to veto? --[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 00:47, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I vote to veto this. Also, Salome, your main argument is "not enough lore for what we know" - just a fyi, that would go towards a vast majority of the articles because lore was mostly only put in lore-only articles like Category:Unseen NPCs articles and not any article that deals with lore like many important NPCs and races. Of course, this is more towards the older articles and I'm slowly working on expanding the lore articles. x) -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 00:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * point of order. u aren't voting to veto b/c no one here has veto power. u're voting no/nay/against/oppose or some other negative, but not "veto". and yes, i'm against this being featured. -- VVong | BA 06:30, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * /dont care--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 06:37, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Basicly this article is just one big list. I'd like to see more background info on the character before this is featured. &mdash; Why 12:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * its not that I think everything needs lore, but if we are to feature an NPC, then yeh I think it should be lore focused otherwise it seems a bit odd. NPC page with Big lists = dull and boring. NPC page with Big lists, a crap load of game lore and story and possible game mechanic chat = good. EDIT: so is it agreed, this one is rejected? -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Was more of a joke since most of your complaints are lore-based :P But I agree with your point, if we intend to feature a page that could contain lore, it should. A simple 2-3 paragraphs would suffice since there is the manual entry. Just a mention of him studying in Shing Jea, the Kurzicks believing he was dead, etc. Wouldn't make the page much longer and would add a few things we know of Mhenlo (and the same could be done with the other henchmen articles). -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 02:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I was quite inspired by the discussion above me and decided to dig deeper into the history of the main characters; Devona, Cynn, Mhenlo, Aidan and Eve. If you combine every clue and hint of information that is given through various sources there is actually quite a lot of information given about them and their lives, and even more for you to fill in after reading through the lines. I've started exploring the childhood and youth of Devona, and intend to continue with the rest. After 1070AE their paths meets though, and I guess it would be more adequate to keep these stories together in one article. I was thinking about making a "lore-article" about all five; differing from the current articles by telling about their characteristics and history rather than their game mechanics. Head over to User:Titus The Third/Heroes of Tyria and tell me what you think about my idea. Of course; the final article should include pictures and so forth... -- Titus The Third [[Image:User titus the third.png| ]] 09:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Cinematic

 * ''Rejected 22:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Need something to draw attention to pages most people dont know exist. &mdash; Seru    Talk 22:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * True but the article's tiny with very little information. It'd need an overhaul before I'd consider voting for it. -- Alex [[Image:User_AlexEternal_Mr_Bear.jpg|19px]]Eternal 15:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Contains 0 info, would need soooooo much work and even then not sure the article will ever be appropriate. So a nay from me. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Pick one of the better documented cinematics then? &mdash; Seru   [[Image:User Seru Sig2.png|19px]] Talk 04:42, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For what purpose? A cinematic is just that, a wee clip relating to a very small part of the story at that time (which most people skip). I don't see why it needs featured, as firstly the content isn't informative to the user, none of the pages currently fit the standards for the featured article and really their is a reason why they have such a sparse amount of hits. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 13:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Only purpose I see in featuring any Cinematic page would be what Seru first said: "pages most people dont know exist." No other reason. As such, I disagree with this as a feature. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 07:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd love to feature this article or a cinematic article, because of all the hard work I put in that project, but other than that, I don't think they'd make much sense on the front page. There isn't really anything to show. :( &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 19:36, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * So is it agreed, that this one is rejected? -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Unless someone can think of a way to spruce the article up... a lot... I'd have to say, yes, rejected. (sorry Why) -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 02:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * ''Rejected 01:11, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Great page, good decription, has all it needs to have. Worthy?--D AV  A   07:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I disagree with this. All it has is the manuscripts entry, quotes, locations, and skills. With a little trivia. The lore can be expanded very nicely, being a main villian. Put in a paragraph or two under the quote about him bringing the Kurzick and Luxons together before going mad (mentioned in "An Empire Divided"), how the Fortune Teller corrupted him, and him being a general of Abaddon in Nightfall. Or something like that. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 07:52, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Currently, it's a big list. So no. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 19:37, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed with Azazel -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Canthan language

 * Rejected 14:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Well researched and interesting. --86.26.110.119 19:56, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree. While I do find it interesting, I don't think it contains enough information or would be useful to enough of the wiki community. Freedom Bound 20:03, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Disagree. Well researched, kind of, interesting, yes, worthy of Featuring? Not until we start running out of articles, which will be a while. I'm intending to fix up the Languages of Tyria article and then put that as a featured nomination, which would be able to cover this as well. So for now, I say no. But in a long while from now, it wouldn't be bad to feature. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 21:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * another thing i would like to point out is the one image says it names all the professions in factions but in the table it dost have all the professions in factions.--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 22:04, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That is because the table's pictures are derived from a table that was taken from Anet's building itself, and the banner was deemed to be saying as such by the location it is always at, with the Prophecies Henchmen banner, and the known characters. The article can be expanded, it would seem.-- Azazel The Assassin\talk 00:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * While I think this is a very well researched article, it is poorly fleshed out, primarily because of simple lack of information about the subject. Hence I oppose featuring this page. Also, as consensus does not seem in favor of it, I'm moving this to Rejected. If it gets expanded, feel free to move it back to Suggested. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 14:07, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Interrupt

 * Rejected 02:58, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

A very informative and well-researched article, which is worthy of being featured. It has some great tips and hints on how to properly interrupt your foes, and how to avoid being interrupted, exactly what would be expected of this article. &mdash; Why 19:51, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice article but incredibly technical and wordy and I just dont think most of the player base would be interested. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 00:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Most of the player base? This is generally a PvP related article (Since, let's face it, interrupts aren't a concern in PvE really). PvP has at least half of the player base, if not more. I think a lot of people could find the information contained in this article quite useful, both as a way to learn to interrupt and as a way to learn to prevent it from being done to you. ~ ''Ryuu [[Image:User_Ryuu_Desu_Sig.png|18px]][  Talk | Contributions  ] 16:03, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * First of all interrupts are essential for many areas of PvE, secondly it's utter rubbish to say that half of the play base is primarily PvP, the PvE population in GW is huge, just because they aren't quite so vocal in places like the wiki doesn't mean they don't exist. Garrett 19:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * If the PvP community contains half of the GW community, then the overall community is tiny. The PvP community is just the loudest, and whiniest. >_> No offense to anyone who is fully PvP. And Interrupts, as Garrett said, is highly useful in PvE areas as well, and are estremely effective on Heroes (and yes, should be mentioned because I have seen people who don't think of putting interrupts on heroes ever because "they suck at interrupting" - so should be mentioned). -- Azazel the Assassin/ talk 20:42, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * First of all, interrupting is a lot more vital and there's a lot more pressure to make a successful interrupt in PvP, imo. Yes, interrupting is used to certian areas in PvE in order to make things easier, but the fact of the matter is (as you have stated), most trust heroes to interrupt in PvE. That being said, there is little to no pressure for a ranger, or any other class to interrupt, because they simply have heroes for do it for them. However, in many areas of PvP it isn't possible to bring a hero to interrupt for you. (Yes, you can do it in HA. Yes, it's somewhat "high end", no I'm not taking this into consideration.) Lastly, a vast majority of PvE players also play PvP as well; I suppose I should have categorized that as PvX, but anyway. Certain things in the game, such as zaishen quests are beginning to encourage this PvX trend, and although it is existent, the population of guild wars players who NEVER play PvP is a probably a lot smaller than half. This isn't saying that 50% regularly plays PvP, it is simply the fact that at some point of time we have all PvP'd. Even if you don't frequently do it, you may find this article interesting as a curiosity factor. That being said, the majority of the information listed above is irrelevant to the point. This article could indeed be found interesting by a notable percent of the player database—even though most PvE'rs rely on heroes for interrupting now. Personally, I play a dshot ranger in RA and yet when I PvE (I do both quite equally), I use heroes to interrupt for me. Even though I never even worry about interrupting in PvE, I still find this article interesting due to both my dshot ranger and monk professions in PvP. Preventing interrupts, learning how to cause them. Two birds, one stone. This article could in fact be featured. ~ ''Ryuu [[Image:User_Ryuu_Desu_Sig.png|18px]][  Talk | Contributions  ] 18:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In reply to Salome; we really shouldn't focus on how interesting articles could be for the players; we just want to highlight very good articles with this project. Otherwise I really couldn't find a reason to make Profession a featured article, because we can be sure that nearly all of the players already know what that is and as such won't be very interested in it. poke | talk 18:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * In other words, look at if the contained information is good or not, not if you're interested. If we focused on interests, featured articles would become biased and a huge warfare to simply pick what's interesting and what in fact isn't for most people. At least, I think that's the basis of the decisions for featured pages. ~ ''Ryuu [[Image:User_Ryuu_Desu_Sig.png|18px]][  Talk | Contributions  ] 18:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the featured articles should be both interesting and well-written. More of the later though, because as said if we just go by interesting, it would be biased. If we got by interesting alone, I'd just want to feature any well-written lore article. That would leave game mechanic articles, location artcles, and NPC articles pretty much a no for featuring. As such, I say that the article needs a revision for both a PvP and PvE viewpoint instead of an "basics of interrupting" viewpoint. Doing this is out of my area so I won't bother. :P Though, the lists of skills could probably be turned into a table (each column being a different section) to help shorten the length of the article. After a revision and expansion, I am for this article being featured. -- Azazel the Assassin/ talk 01:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * While this article has important information it is more or less a list of skills and some additional information. So I don't think it should be a featured article. Balwin 17:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Henchman

 * Rejected 16:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

An important and almost unavoidable part of Guild Wars. Good and short explanation of what Henchmans are, and a link to all henchman, with more good links in see also. Titani  Ertan   15:14, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I am on the fence on this. It was semi-discussed before in the Mhenlo section, and it was a "no" to that due to being mostly just a list. But I myself am on the fence. -- Azazel the Assassin/ talk 17:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a list, so I'm not supporting this until it gets a major content buff. -- Alex [[Image:User_AlexEternal_Mr_Bear.jpg|19px]]Eternal 07:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't like this page to be featured by the same reasons as above :/ - J.P. [[Image:User Jope12 sigicon.png]] Talk  19:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this is just a list and should not be a featured article. Balwin 17:39, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't apply yet, but I think it would be a great idea to feature this once the PvP henchmen are added to the game, as it's going to be a very common thing for people to come looking for. --Freedom Bound 17:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Gwen (Eye of the North)

 * Rejected 16:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Many like Gwen and some follow her story line. I'm figuring this page would fit her best. ♥ Ariyen ♀ 11:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't want to feature a page because the NPC is so adorable. Still, the page itself isn't bad. I do believe we have better pages on this wiki, however. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 13:51, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * There's history behind her that fits Tyria, Eye of the North, Charr, etc. More than just her being cute, she's a helpful npc turned into a mesmer hero, has her own story like Togo, etc. 72.148.31.114 21:43, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Not really, the only reasons her page is better than any other henchman/hero is that she has more lines and a piece of concept art. Tidas 21:58, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * @72.148.. I'm not saying Gwen isn't special, I'm just saying this page isn't special. Which means I oppose featuring it. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 22:33, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * agreed with why i also think that if we ever want to feature a hench or hero we need to be ready to feature all of them. and that we need a lot more beef to there articles.--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 22:50, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's a suggestion, Feature each Hero(Heroes you use, Togo, etc.) /(Major Henchman like Cynn, Menhlo, (those featured on all continents), etc.) every other week or one a month. Obvious henchmen are wanted. This thought might could be something considered. ♥ Ariyen ♀ 23:31, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Gwen's page is just a bunch of quotes, skills, and a couple concept art. It is complete, but it doesn't really show any lore and can definably be worked on. Same goes with many other NPC articles. -- Konig/ talk 05:37, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with the Konig des Todes, it is not really a article. It doesn't really contain stuf about Gwen except what lines she says wenn something happens to here. interesting for some but not for everyone. I will move this page to the rejected section at sunday 18 oktober 17:00:00 (UTC) if nobody gives a good argument why it should stay in this section.--Wysth 16:54, 16 October 2009 (UTC)\

Well written with lots of information. Mini Me  13:13, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * has disputed and cleanup tags. this shouldn't be featured until those issues are remedied. -- VVong | BA 20:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * based on the new information we gain from the Zaishen Menagerie, we will probably be able to resolve all that in future and get more information about it. poke | talk 20:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd rather wait till the research that is still being done on this subject is done before featuring this page. But yea, it is one of the best we have. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 12:18, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
 * yea and the artical is very long and some of the info dosnt really belong on that page i would say, and just some normal clean up would be good.[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|Talk Page‎]] Zesbeer 22:39, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Once it has been researched more and the tags removed I personally feel that this would be an ideal candidate for a featured article. EDIT:also the page has 1.5 million hits thus its clear people are interested in it. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 00:40, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * so as you can see my changes thus far what do you think and do we fell that it still needs the clean up tag? i feel that the Zaishen Menagerie part and evolution needs to be cleaned up a bit, mainly because the info about the Zaishen menagerie is about the evolution. and the evolution info is incomplete and we need to decide what we want on that page.--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|Talk Page‎]] Zesbeer 00:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I will be completely candid, some of your changes to this article have been helpful and constructive, however their are a few of your additions which are either not following our formatting standards and need to be changed, are incorrect or indeed just look plain old odd from my subjective visual tastes. For example changing skill names to pictures of the skill icon is not how we format things within articles as it breaks lines, as you have done with the charm animal skill; the wolf pic is a nice touch but its position on the page is creating a horrible white space on that part of the page and could probably be added somewhere else to be more visually pleasing and your information on retraining is kinda wrong, as one cannot retrain a pet. The menagerie only offers the ability to tame a pet of an equal or lower lvl with the opposite evolution and start again from there, but technically you are not retraining your initial pet as you still have to get rid of it and get a new one. I'm not meaning to be rude as your help on this page is appreciated, it's just some of your additions are cluttering the page rather than making it smoother and more user friendly. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:11, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

eh whatever, the image of the wolf can be removed and i only did the charm animal skill icon in one place and the text is still there. i would also like to point out if you "give way your pet" to who i have listed it unlocks it to that lvl and so you can just re spawn it. feel free to change it to have it make more scene. that tag for clean up had been there for a wile, so i acted.-- Zesbeer 02:28, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay went through the page and reformatted and reworded it heavily. Updated alot of the information to make it accurate and took out alot of the redundant/inaccurate stuff. I've also removed the clear up tab as I think it is matching wiki formatting guidelines now. The only outstanding things that needs done to it now, are the evolution thingy needs checked and rechecked and I would appreciate another editor, other than myself and Zesbeer to go through the page and make sure it reads correctly. Unfortunately in reformatting the article I moved great deal of Zesbeers edits, so sorry about that matey. -- -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 14:48, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * salome a lot of my basic ideas are still there. i still feel that the info under zaishen menagerie needs to be moved down to the evolution section and the evolution section needs some clean up.--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|Talk Page‎]] Zesbeer 19:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure on that one myself. I see your point as the evolution and the Z-Zoo are so closely linked but then so is acquisition and the z-zoo. I think the standard formatting however needs to be considered after we have finally sorted out he evolution section as I dont think the article can be featured until that actually has confirmed information. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 12:04, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay all we need to do now for this article is the following:
 * Verify how you evolve a pet. (After talking to Wyn it seems to be the implied that if you use more pet buffs than attacks you get playful pets and vica versa, however this doesnt seem right, as i death levelled every pet in my menageri and all of them were lvl 20 hearty by the end with no pet skills used at all, so it must be some kinda damage ratio thingy)
 * Verify the Critical hit scale for pets (I think im gonna ask Lynsey this when she gets some time as I dont think we'll be able to work that out ourselves)
 * Work out the mean DPS of each evolution against a none resistant/vulnerable foe
 * Verify the damage type for Moss Spiders. (I did alot of this today by using my second account and scrimming against my mule sin switching between infiltrator and sabotuer insignias and seeing which it did more dmg against. Rainbow phoenix was a bitch as it seems to use both and swap between the two regardless of its evolution. Also alot of pets seem to have a different form of dmg dependant upon their evolution, it seems to be in these circumstances that dire pets do slashing and hearty pets do piercing)
 * After those things are done I think that will be the article ready for feature. I've had a wee gander at what zesbeer suggested about moving the Z-zoo to down near the evolution thingy, however I think the Z-zoo is most pertinent to aquisition than evolution and also how the formatting stands now seems to make most logical sense to me. So I think its more filling in missing information now, than fixing formatting of this article. Thus ive removed the cleanup tag and left the disputed tag as at the moment the article meets our formatting standards, its just missing some verified info. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 10:15, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyone feels like updating this page after that I think we can feature it but aslong as the banner is stil there it cant be featured.--Wysth 17:14, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Do to lack of interrest in this article I wil place this article in the rejected part at 1 november 19:00:00 (UTC)--Wysth 18:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it is less of interest in the article, and more in interest in reworking the article (or not knowing how to rework it - like myself). -- Konig/ talk 18:47, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Same here but you agree with me to place it into the rejected part?--Wysth 16:38, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

 * An image of the party window (Both the one that lists party members and the one that's for Party requests, etc), could be useful, even if it is already covered in the UI Article.

 * I just remembered that this article doesn't mention anything about Party Search or about any other methods to form a party. Or does it have to? If it does, this pages gives me a big NO.

 * Although it's a fine page as it goes, I personally think it's pointless. It's EXTREMELY basic and not really that helpful, not because of its content though, raher it has very little subject matter to play with. -- Salome   [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 15:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * As pointed out above, it needs a picture of the party list. Furthermore a discussion of random vs player formed parties would be good. Lastly, it should mention the role of "party" as a skill-related mechanism (the "... party member ..." part in skill descriptions). --Xeeron 00:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Gods of Tyria

 * Rejected 07:53, 15 november 2009 (UTC)

Interesting Lore article which spans all campaigns, perhaps a bit too much of a mass of links without so much information on the page itself, but generally informative and looks good. Garrett 16:41, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * i for one veto this article not because of poor writing or format but because it has spoilers that shouldn't be on the main page imo.--[[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 07:05, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If every page that had a spoiler on it was rejected, then most of the wiki would be disqualified. That being said, I do think that this page is too much like an index to be a featured page. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Pyron Sy (talk).
 * Zesbeer brings a good point. As for the poor writing/format, like I said in the Kurzick/Luxon section above, I'm intending to go through all/most of the lore-related articles and "clean" them up or expand on them. I have done so with some of the smaller ones, but not the larger ones. I am on the fence about this article being a featured article. But the Charr article had spoilers, so that's not that big of a deal. I say, first this article needs to be cleaned up *like many others* before it should be continued to be debated. I.e., a temporary denial. But this may go towards many articles. Again, like above, I will go through the lore-articles this week and expand/clean them. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 17:45, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Edit: I've made a revision of the Gods of Tyria article here, tell me if you find anything that should be changed on the talk page. If no disagreements with anything by this time tomorrow, I'll replace the article. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 22:37, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Very nice edit. This would be a good page to have, but liek the others said, it seems kind of like an index of the gods. Maybe have a certain god, or, and this kinda contradicts the idea of it being 1 article, but feature the 5 gods. Perhaps take the first paragraph from the gods page, and link to all of them.  I'm sure someone, if not me, could throw together a nice image with all 5 of them in it. ~Farlo Talk 21:10, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, would it be possible to put some spoiler-less lore at the top, then the bits with spoilers below, since atm the whole page is labeled as containing them which means someone who doesn't want to read them will have to ignore the whole page. I'm sure it could be organised so that there's some core info for all to read then campaign-specific stuff below. Imo it would also give it some more structure. 86.24.115.34 16:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Rephrased the article and moved spoilers down so now the whole article isn't one big spoiler. I don't think I missed any spoilers where they should not be. I think now that this article is worthy of featuring. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 21:09, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Lacks good pictures. There are beautiful god pictures in the game (think of the murals or the statues in ToA), yet almost none here. --Xeeron 22:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In agreement with Xeeron. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Only issue with the God Murals is 1) They show individual gods, would make the article too clumped unless we can merge them somehow and 2) Those murals are on the individual god pages. I remember that there is some Avatar concept art that has a white background, maybe someone can merge those 5 into one? Other than that, and the 3 gods above Doric concept, there really isn't any concept that would be really usable on the Gods of Tyria page. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 03:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah it could do with a little something extra to make it look nicer imo, but other than that it's a good page. 86.24.115.34 09:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Compared to the amount of lore that is on the gods, it actually is somewhat lacking. I think this page is missing a big chunk of lore type information. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 13:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Most lore on the gods are just on the individual gods, which then means it belongs of their own respective page. The lore that belongs on the Gods of Tyria page would be a overall grouping, which means there are some that can be added, mostly just in the "History of the True Gods" and expanding on the "Other Gods of Tyria" sections. The reason why I didn't expand the later is because info on the Mursaat being worshipped is on the Mursaat page, and the Norn's animal spirits have their own page (which I still need to heavily expand). So unless you want the individual information put up on that article (instead of expanding the individual gods), then there is a lot missing. But, elsewise, just a few notes here and there, to be honest. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 22:05, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We could feature this page, I think, without showing any spoilers on the main page. Think about it. :) &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why Are We Fighting]] 12:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * We can indeed. Just remove "(after Nightfall, six)" and the preview is spoiler free. By the way, I've found the avatar of the god concept arts with a white background, so I'll work on making them one picture for the article. I'll also find a place for the Doric and 3 gods concept art. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 23:11, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm.... I see the points above but it still feel a bit sparse. I still feel it needs a wee bit of blurb about each god with a wee pic and then maybe a pic of each of the avatars and chat about each. -- Salome  [[Image:User_salome_sig2.png|19px]] 01:30, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Once I finish the Kurzick and Luxon pages, I'll go back to this and see what I can add. Moving the pic that's there down next to the Avatars, add the concept of the avatars to where the pic is *once I merge it*, add Doric and the gods somewhere in the middle if needed. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 02:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have been thinking, and I can't see of how to add onto this article. But a thought came to my mind. Since this page cannot, due to the article title, contain all religions, why not split this article into two? One would be a "Religions of Tyria" the other being what it is, but specifically about the "True Gods" (perhaps a name change would be in order as well?). Just a thought to have this article more area specific while not leaving out the non-gods religions in an overview article like this has been. -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 09:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * that sounds good but is there enough info to support that other article?- [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 21:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The other page would include the Great Dwarf/Great Forge, the Charr's religion (Shaman Caste rule and then Aetheist), Eternal Alchemy, Unseen Ones, the Spirits of the Wild (Norn deities - probably a removal of that article), a short summary of the True Gods (linked of course), the Sky Above the Sky (same with Norn deities, removal of the article), and perhaps the two Ancestor Trees. Can't think of other religions atm. -- Konig/ talk 22:15, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

 * rejected due to lack of interrest

I think this is a very interesting page for al users it not only explains a part of the game that most players use i also gives a good picture on wich titles you can acieve and how much variety there is in guildwars.

 * True thats why i was think about a picture of someobe where you can see the title tag under his name. But i dont know if we can use a picture directly from guildwars because of cpyrights and stuf.--Wysth 05:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

 * By the time this page gets featured, it will be 5 weeks - as we have two before it. By then, the article should be full. Pages do not have to be long for them to be featured - don't know why you say that Why - so the Dhuum article is not too short if it has all the info we have on it. Which the only thing missing is anything unnoticed in the battle with Dhuum (for now). By the time it would be featured, anything currently unnoticed will most likely be noticed and put onto the page. I'd say we could probably remove the stub on that page soon, as so many people have been doing him and updating the page. Give it a week, this page should be stable and complete - so in 5, definably worthy of being featured. -- Konig/ talk 09:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I do no think this page should be featured...yet...let it become more complete. -- [[Image:User_Lacky_Blue_Paw_Sig.png|15px|My Talk]] Lacky 10:12, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly OK with featuring pages that are interesting and relevant to the current hype in game, but that doesn't mean we should lower our standards for accepting pages. What I'm missing on this page is tactics on how to defeat him (either write some skill suggestions, see talk:Dhuum for instance, or refer to the quest. A "Tactics" section would be most appreciated), a map on where to find him, some more details on his combat stats (estimated health, damage on 60 armor, innate health regeneration, I've heard mention hexes have their duration halved on him so which boss characteristics does he have et cetera) and other references in the game (if there are any). If those things are added, I'll support this page to be featured. Also, please keep further discussion on how to improve the page on talk:Dhuum. Sorry guys, you must find me pretty annoying by now, but right now this is just an article about an NPC like any other, with some minor lore information added.  &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 15:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Tactics? See the quest to kill him. We do not have a walkthrough on Mallyx, or Abaddon, Shiro, Kanaxai, or other major bosses which are dealt with in a mission or quest exclusively. Nor do they link to the quest/mission's page. Most of those stats are not common place or anything, heck, they are on only like 5% of the NPC pages. Having them acceptable to be featured doesn't mean 100% complete - past pages, such as Lore, Charr, and the like were not done to their fullest either. What your asking for is something which will take weeks - perhaps month - for a full dedicated team of people constantly doing the UW and not doing it to win it, but to study it. The only people I know who'd do that is the lore community, but they are not interested in game mechanics in the common sense. What you're wanting is something that won't occur for any article - ever. Unless you get Joe or some other anet employee who can find/know these things. I'm sorry, but that's just illogical. :/ -- Konig/ talk 16:20, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not that hard. Have him hit a caster and document the damage. Cast a high-damage spell on him, record the damage it did, see how many pixels you blew off his health bar. I said estimate, not exact values. Could do it in a single run. Same goes for testing which boss characteristics he has, and making a map. Also, the walkthrough on that quest page is very limited. I'd love to see a couple of skill suggestions, either on the Dhuum page or a link on the Dhuum page reading something like "for suggestions on how to defeat Dhuum, see ." Also, Dhuum lacks a Quotes section, a thing which many other bosses have. And yea, it's true that these data are missing on many other NPC pages like the ones you mentioned. But don't think I wouldn't have said the same about other pages. NPCs have little info to share, but that just means we should try to document as much of it as possible, instead of just saying, "hey, this page has an awesome image, let's feature it!" And of course the pages will never be complete. But let's at least try to flesh it out a bit more. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 17:09, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I hardly doubt having accurate numbers would be just one run. And I, at least, am not saying this should be featured because of the image (it is true, lot of people are more interested in links, images, and there being something more than lists), I think it should be featured because it is accurate and complete to known lore, its lists are complete, and except for minor things which people hardly focus on (natural regeneration for example) it is pretty much as complete as we can get at the moment. It is really only minor things - some of which doesn't requiring to go and fight him, and those that do, it is a lot of work and people will probably not bother to record it unless they go there specifically to record the information (which is highly unlikely). I still see no reason to not feature this article (and maybe after re-writing some other major boss articles, feature those as well). -- Konig/ talk 18:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have too agree with Why here. A article has too be complete before it can be featured and I dont think we can accept a page just because it might be better by the time we feature it. I hope evryone agrees with me on this point. I really have no problem with this page but it has too be full and I dont think a page is ready too be featured if it is only a week or 2 old.--Wysth 18:09, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * yes, the page isn't very stable right now, but i'm going to try and push it to be alot better. maybe an administrator could monitor stuff and make sure the picture doen't change every hour and stuff. anyways, i'm going to work on this article because it needs cleaning up anyways. also i improved my signature. --> --[[Image:User Jrhsk8 Shadow Form.jpg|18px]] Jrhsk8   talk  23:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

 * There's no consensus, let's keep it here. Besides, while this project isn't meant to discuss how to improve the pages we're talking about, it's what usually happens anyway, so meh, removing it would only cause discussion to be fragmented. &mdash; Why [[Image:User Why s.png|User talk:Why]] 00:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

"Just minor vandalism. Welcome to the wiki." what would be major? anyways, i think it is a little bit more stable now but we probably have to wait. Jrhsk8  talk  23:08, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Major vandalism would be late night (for us americans as that is the least activity of the wikis) full page/big edit vandalisms. I still don't think the page can get any better due to the requirements to get to Dhuum (those that go just to "study" Dhuum will have plenty of issues with the quests, I'm sure). Hmmm, perhaps getting the stats Why wants is something the Test Krewe can do for the community. Would make things plenty easier. -- Konig/ talk 17:35, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

I think now all the information able to be gained that isn't trivial (boss hp for instance) has been noted and documented, and vandalism is down to a normal pages' vandalism. I think now it is ready for featuring. -- Konig/ talk 23:23, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Hero behavior

 * Rejected 12 March 08:27:10
 * Page is a list and not a good page to show

Only issue I see is that it is a bunch of lists, however it seems to be detailed and complete when I skimmed it and it would be helpful to people who enjoy H/H'ing due to being able to know of Hero AI. -- Konig / talk 04:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, but I don't see a good paragraph of it to be posted on the main page. I don't think it's a good page to show, because of that. Well, not to mention that I prefer a beginning paragraph detailing about the page, about Hero behavior, etc. then the information listed below that. It's more like a notes page to me. Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 06:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * agreed with kaisha, i also think though that hero ai is going to change a lot so i feel that this article is going to be in flux a lot.- [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 11:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Abaddon

 * Rejected on 20:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC),Can not be featured until edit war/dispute is over

In my opinion, this article could potentially be complete. Despite Erasculio's constant removal of information, it is actually quite informative. --  Lacky 13:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * are pages with excessive spoiler alerts allowed as featured pages? San Darkwood  16:10, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * @San: Yes, it just depends on whether there is a consensus to feature it. There is no "it has/doesn't have, it shouldn't be featured" for this. It's all opinions. That said, the Abaddon article is one of the many (others being on GW2W) which is being edited constantly by Erasculio and he is removing important or worthwhile information just because it either has interwiki linking or isn't to his fitting (and he calls it "fan-fiction" - which none of it is). I think that little issue should be settled before we feature any articles he's been editing. Besides, that LONG wall of text is unnecessary, honestly what I had before Erasculio removed half of it was fine (maybe grammar and sentence rephrasing was needed, but he didn't need to remove canon lore which he called "fan-fiction" because it wasn't in the game). -- Konig / talk 20:57, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Guide to making a build

 * Rejected on 13:59, 06 Mai 2010 (UTC),None of the issues have been resolved

Not keen on this article being only lists, however I think it is an accurate article page. Also, would be helpful in having people make their own build, instead of copying from PvX all the time (and I'm not saying no one makes their own builds, before that gets started). -- Konig/ talk 03:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So how come no one has posted an opinion here? -- Konig / talk 04:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Sorry I did not any time last months but wenn I got time again I will look at the page.--Wysth 14:58, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think this is a very good artcile, well written and the article looking like a list makes it more clear. We could add some pictures showing the making of a build or something but I think we can feature it right now.--Wysth 11:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I don't like seeing a list on the main page. We feature a paragraph to go into the actual page. I don't see something like that - that would be good to feature. The page it's self is good, but that's my thoughts. Kaisha  User Kaisha Sig.png 20:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Can I move this page to rejected? or accepted since nobody is making some comments about the article.--Wysth 12:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

i think with some added info about whats going on on the sub pages and this page would be good to be featured.- Zesbeer 00:04, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Considering we don't know what's going on, I recommend against it for the time being.--Pyron Sy 01:14, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * we should still be documenting the changes in the images.- [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 01:21, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Absolutely they should be documented. But the very fact that the images are new, coupled with the fact that we have no idea of how far the hints will lead, means the pages will be in a state of flux. In my mind, that automatically disqualifies them from being featured, since the accepted rule is not to feature pages that aren't fully settled in their content.--Pyron Sy 02:37, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree with Pyron. It's the same reason we didn't feature Dhuum - it was in a state of flux and was constantly updated. I say wait. -- Konig / talk 03:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * You like these Krytan things, don't you? It's a little much to feature them in succession, and I think this one has one too many images. You don't need to show the "before and after" of the propaganda, I think the first one should be enough. --Kyoshi (Talk) [[File:User Kyoshi sig.png]] 22:06, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * (EC)There's an ongoing discussion about the images here, Kyoshi :) as for the article as a feature, I can see a lot of changes being made to these pages in the near future as ANet is hinting at something big, so it's probably best to just wait and see for now. --Santax (talk · contribs) 23:13, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Regarding the "unraveling" that Anet has in store for the White Mantle and SHining Blade - it might be best to document all those (and both propaganda images) on a brand new page, once that has a more definitive name (perhaps we can call it the "Krytan civil war" - since that is what it is), and only edit the Shining Blade and White Mantle pages with a summary of any in-game events we see. -- Konig / talk 03:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Very limited information. (Introduction text wouldn't be enough for even a section to include on the main page), and a majority of it is merely a list of NPC's, aside from the small notes section.

Dragon Festival

 * Rejected on 14:42, 18 June 2010 (UTC), Page subject to change and not complete

This page does need a lot more in it, but I think it will good to have as the festival is starting soon. It might be possible to add some more lore and expand on the paragraphs. And it will definatly be possible to get and image for it. -- San Darkwood 10:32, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * you know at the time the mini pet page was a good idea, but i think that it was a mistake waiting until the 5year birthday because all of the new pets needed to be added. I have a feeling the same thing would happen to this page. - [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 10:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, in that case perhaps we could have an article that we already know all about, such as the Dragon Arena. I doubt this will change this year, and it is still related to the Dragon Festival. -- San Darkwood 10:42, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * yes that would work better.- [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] Zesbeer 10:49, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * DA was already featured. I'd rather have Rollerbeetle Racing. However, if we feature this the week before the Dragon Festival. Not as a "this is what is happening" but "this is the minimal of what we'll get" instead. As said, it needs work - I'll look into it this week - but I would love to see this featured at the end of June (another article, then this one?). -- Konig / talk 21:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I went looking through the four major events in GW, and I think all four should be done in the style of Wintersday - that is, each event (CNY, DF, Halloween, and Wintersday) should hold all information of the event that reoccurs (i.e., don't include 09's halloween quests or that tombs was decorated for 05's wintersday on their respective pages) and have the year pages be more of holding the historical content - including what hats were released that year along with other non-repeating event. So for this, we should have information on the plays, a list of all NPCs, the finale dialogue(s), etc. And basically, except for hats, this will be the same with Dragon Festival 2007/2008/2009 - 2006 being different as there were no plays. -- Konig / talk 21:28, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
