==[[Meridian]] (Approved)==
== [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM]] (Approved) ==
'''Reason''': Actually kind of happy with how this article turned out. An informative article on Meridian's history, geography, government, economy, and culture with some behind the scenes trivia. The article is properly referenced and comprehensive. Lots of quotes and images (special thanks to Chronarch) too.

==[[San'Shyuum]] (Approved)==
'''Reason''': Well-sourced (a loooot of sources), as many decent quotes as I could find, comprehensive, and lots of nice pics. I've been working on this article for a while and ''Pokemon Go'' didn't help me at all, but I finally sat down today to finish it and I think it turned out pretty good. The quote I used for the "Reproduction and life cycle" section is pretty creepy though.

*However, should we add the image of Tem'Bhetek to the post-war section? Also, the image of the reformists is technically from the San'Shyuum meeting the Sangheili on Ulgethon, isn't it? Not the time of the schism. -Japeth555
**For Tem, I was thinking about it, but I'd rather wait until we get a higher quality one from ''Mythos''. To be honest, that's one of the reasons why I haven't bothered nominating his article to be featured either, as I prefer them to have the best pics possible. As for the Reformists, you're right, but I just threw it in there to give readers an idea as to what the Reformists looked like. They are still Reformists after all. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 18:49, 13 July 2016 (EDT)
 
==[[Installation 07]] (Approved)==

===Comments===
I disagree. The notion that the SoS and the UNSC were jointly controlling it and watching for the Flood still seems like it could have been a mistake where installation 05 was meant instead. Also, there is not note about how it is curious that Lasky didn't bring 07 up in Halo 4 when he mentioned Halo rings under UNSC control, such as 05 and 03. I think there are still too many problems here. [[User:Japeth555|Japeth555]] ([[User talk:Japeth555|talk]]) 13:14, 13 October 2016 (EDT)Japeth555
:You're right in that those bits are questionable, especially Catalog's statement. We could always choose to politely ignore it, maybe relegate it in the "Production notes" section, or just slap a note on it. As for the second one, technically ''Halo 4'' is two years after ''Hunters in the Dark''. Something could've happened that led to Lasky not including 07. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 00:22, 14 October 2016 (EDT)

===Comments===
Great job. I wonder of we should include an image perhaps of text from one of Halo 3's terminals, since there is such a lack of images. {{unsigned|Japeth555}}
:Is that meant to be a vote of support Japeth?--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 16:35, 20 November 2016 (EST)
:Eh, I don't think it is necessary. In my opinion, an article doesn't actually need images to be considered "featured", but as long as it is well-written. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 20:40, 20 November 2016 (EST)
::Definitely. There's a lot of subjects that have only appeared in non-visual media that still have well-written articles, so the lack of images alone shouldn't hold back a feature. --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 00:15, 23 November 2016 (EST)

*{{Oppose}} -- Not a bad article at all, however it lacks many references in the body and the infobox, and most major sections lack quotes, of which there are many to choose from. The intro could also do with a large expansion, going into more detail about he program itself and covering its role in the Covenant War. The article also has a section on the Spartan-IIs in ''Halo Wars'', but makes no mention of ''Halo Wars 2''. Also, in my opinion, the "Publicity" sub-section should be moved to the bottom of the "Personnel" section as it's more about what the public has been told about the program, while the other sections are more directly about the Spartans.  -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 22:03, 24 March 2017 (EDT)
