  • Support.svg Support — Well I guess I can indulge in some ego stroking at least once in awhile. :) Though my only concern about a pre-release Featured Article status are the dips in quality that comes when the game launches. Typically, it takes a month or two before a game page mellows out after its released and I fear that such award, while entirely deserving at the moment, may not be up to our expectations come this fall.

  • Support.svg Support — I think that promoting this would help make more people interested in it and make more people edit it positivley: REACHSURVIVES

  • Oppose.svg Oppose — Are you kidding me? This page is too unstable. You can't make a "current event" a features article. Because what's going to happen is too unpredictable. (or so it says in the sacred caves) Vegerot! 00:35, 17 August 2012 (EDT)!

  • Oppose.svg Oppose — Right now its still a great article with minimal flaws to it, but there's still plenty of content that could be added to it and we should probably wait until December to mold it into an article worthy of Featured status. Grizzlei ♥ ツ
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - Vote against on grounds that a featured article should be one that has been extensively fact-checked and has all, or nearly all, of the information available on the subject. —This unsigned comment was made by Bruce2401 (talk • contribs). Please sign your posts with ~~~~

Considering E3 2012 starts next week and its been confirmed that plenty of information about Campaign, War Games, and Spartan Ops will be released, I suggest that we hold off any vote until the page is normalized and the editing consistency calms down after new information editing and rewrites. Grizzlei ♥ ツ

True, and pages about recently released games tend to be bogged down by the story description for a month, sometimes several. Let's see how concisely the plot can be summarized first. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 14:13, 30 May 2012 (EDT)
If its best to wait, should we hold off this article and nominate another article for now, then bring this article back up in November-December? Instead of it saying Pending, have it say On Hold? --Killamint [Comm|Files] 16:53, 22 August 2012 (EDT)
Good idea. I'm presently looking through our articles to find one to nominate.--Spartacus (Talk | Contribs) 17:14, 22 August 2012 (EDT)

Well, since this nomination has hit a stalemate, does anyone have any objections to me closing/suspending this nomination?--Spartacus, Halopedia Administrator Talk 14:11, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

I have no objections per what I asked above. I say suspend the nomination.--Killamint [Comm|Files] 16:10, 8 September 2012 (EDT)

SPARTAN-II Program (closed)

Reason: This is one of the biggest aspects of the Halo universe. This article is properly sourced, well written, and meets all requirements. Why not promote it?--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)

Votes

  • Support.svg Support - As the nominator.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:22, 8 October 2012 (EDT)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - The writing is good and the paragraphs through, but the article needs more integrated pictures and the list of Spartan-IIs should have a scroll box added to it. It could also perhaps have these two sections added to it: one about the Spartans' abilites and combat prowess, and another about the perception of them across the UNSC and Covenant. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 00:06, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

Glassing (Won)

Reason: Glassing is one of the aspects where the Halo universe takes a horrifyingly powerful turn. I feel on this article we've managed to fully explain that horror to every detail, as well as reconcile its various discrepancies that have shown up.

Thel 'Vadam (Won)

Reason: I believe this is well-written and very detailed. It meets all requirements and appears to be properly sourced. As it hasn't been made a featured article before, I strongly believe it's about time this article was made a featured article. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 19:42, 19 December 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

Hey guys, this. —SPARTAN331 22:24, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Subtank cleared out the featured articles a while back, as most of them no longer fit the requirements. This one was among them.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 22:30, 19 December 2012 (EST)

We should have taken the Featured Article icon off their pages, then. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 22:39, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Well, it isn't closed, and it seems it didn't win then. And if it did, shouldn't it say so? And if it did, why isn't it in the Featured Articles category, under "T"? And if it wasn't won back then, therefore, why not now? Isn't it about time now? --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 00:16, 20 December 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

What I meant is that we should move those votes into here as well. —SPARTAN331 01:48, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Those were for a different version of the article. This is an evaluation of the article now. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 03:32, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Fair enough. —SPARTAN331 04:15, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Tick.JPG Done --Spartacus Talk • Contribs 12:14, 11 January 2013 (EST)

Sadie's Story (Closed)

Reason: Shows what you're fighting for, gives more info as to what's happening in mombasa, has cool effects on gameplay, and is just a cool story in general.

'sigh', fine. I just thought I might try nominating something since there's nothing else up. I assume that an article can't win twice, right? This is craZboy557, signing off. 15:11, 25 January 2013 (EST)

Catherine Halsey (closed)

Reason: Clear, detailed, lots of diverse information, good images, and does a pretty great job of explaining the kerfuffles that emerged from Glasslands.

Votes

  • Support.svg Support - Above. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 16:01, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - Definitely good enough to be featured.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 16:10, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - Seems good. Long enough, detailed. I accept that my previous nomination was too short. This is craZboy557, signing off. 16:35, 25 January 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - Great article and an important character.--File:PENGUIN4.gifFluffyEmoPenguin(ice quack!) 13:33, 26 January 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - No arguments here. Only that there is still information being added to it on an almost daily basis. But other than that, it gets my vote. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:35, 26 January 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - Character development in SpartanOps renders it impossible for the nominated article to be considered. It would fail in the immediate category, "Information", where not everything is properly sourced and is open to being altered subject to SpartanOps' episodes. Until the subject's development is stable, I don't think it is suitable. On top of that, the gallery can be shortened by using the Linkbox template and moving the less relevant images into a category (like how we did with other articles). One minor issue is the referencing issue, basically not following the proper format. — subtank 23:35, 28 January 2013 (EST)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - Subtank brings up some good points.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 08:53, 29 January 2013 (EST)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - Agree with Subtank, but it would make a very good feature in the future. --LinkFox101113 03:14, 02 February 2013 (EST)

Looks like we have a sizeable opposition here. Guess we should close this nomination? — subtank 08:14, 12 February 2013 (EST)

Nomination is now closed.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 08:53, 12 February 2013 (EST)

Composer

Reason: A well-written article with appropriately-named headings, suitable amount of images, and correct references/sources. The gallery contains a balanced variety of concept art pieces and in-game screenshot when the Composer is in its dormant state as well as when it is being used. All information are sourced with certainty with no questions marks in the Sources section. Last but not least, there hasn't been any new info on the Composer in newer media (like Spartan Ops), so information about the Composer is like when the Composer itself is onboard Ivanoff Station: in a stable state. —SPARTAN331 11:18, 12 February 2013 (EST)

  • Support.svg Support - No arguments here. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 11:28, 12 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
    • My vote remains, but I would suggest a postponing of this as a featured article until Halo: Silentium comes out. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 14:19, 13 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
  • Support.svg Support - No objections.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 12:34, 12 February 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - Agreed. Unlike with Dr. Halsey, we probably won't have to deal with new information on the Composer any time soon. As it stands, the article is well written and very informative. --Courage never dies. (talk) 12:45, 12 February 2013 (EST)
  • Support.svg Support - No objections from me. --Master of Halo
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - It's got all the relevant information on the Composer, but the article strikes me as fairly squished otherwise considering it's got only two sections. And as I pointed out below, there's possibly going to be a new addition of information in about a month, and it will likely be a lot, considering much has to be done to reconcile the Composer of Primordium with the weapon of Halo 4. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 13:35, 13 February 2013 (EST)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - As per Tucker. It's almost the same situation with Catherine Halsey.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 13:54, 13 February 2013 (EST)

Comments

Won't Silentium be bringing in a lot of information about the Composer? We know it will be involving the events of Halo 4, and have to reconcile them with Primordium. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 14:43, 12 February 2013 (EST)

There's still about a month until Silentium is released! (wink) —SPARTAN331 00:23, 13 February 2013 (EST)
Actually, Tuckerscreator is right. It is quite possible that Silentium will have more information about the Composer that will need to collected and processed. Until then, I would suggest we postpone this as a featured article until Silentium's release. Just a suggestion. --Xamikaze330 (talk|contribs) 00:38, 13 February 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
I concur. We should revisit this then. This is craZboy557, signing off. 14:13, 13 February 2013 (EST)

Halo 4

Reason: I think we have enough information on this now and also it's the best Halo game so far!!! Its also very well written\documented article with enough information & sources. --Master of Halo

I probably wouldn't say best.... not just because I disagree but because you've just marked yourself for not a flame war, but a flame endless drone strike. Best of luck. Always use the DMR. This is craZboy557, signing off. 11:56, 26 February 2013 (EST)
