Cooking

Fairly comprehensive guide was lacking many details not long ago. Has been edited by much of the community would be a good article of the month. --Whiplash 21:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Support. Good article. User page "Katshuma" Talk page 14:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, it's ok, tentative support. Just glancing over it I see certain bits missing - dairy (butter churn, etc), baked potatoes, and it barely mentions the cooking guild. --Eucarya ^Talk 15:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Small support It could be better but I like it. Syugecin^talk_contribs

Oppose I think it has an awful lot of red links for an article of the month. Tesfan 15:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Fake image

This article is awsome and before reading this article I had no idea how people managed to make fakes now not only do I understand but I also want to try and make one or two. This is an awsome article that deserves to be the Article of the Month! --Wisrobe56.

STRONG OPPOSE as per its last 3 or so nominations it has nothing that actually has to do with RuneScape. --Whiplash 22:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

SUPPORT WITH ALL THE STRENGTH IN MY HEART!!! Has helpde many (like me) and it shows how to turn everyday RS pics into hilarious pics. Chiafriend12 22:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I think we just canceled each others votes out. Ah well back to square one. :P --Whiplash 23:12, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

OPPOSE this has nothing to do with playing RuneScape. Additionally, it's a tutorial, not an article. While the page may be cool, article of the month? No. Endasil (Talk) @ 12:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)#

SUPER HYPER MEGA GIGA ULTRA EXTREME OPPOSE!!!! This is the 3rd time this article has been nominated for featured article and it is not fit there! Not related to RuneScape, can be made from anything, like World of Warcraft, new people are using it to fill this wiki with pages like "User:Newguyhere/Fakesthathavenosense", it's going too far soon. I think this article is more likely ruining this wiki and not being creative. User page "Katshuma" Talk page 13:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Um... Katshuma? That's going a bit far. Oh well. SUPER HYPER MEGA EXTREME FANCY CRAZY ULTRA MAXIMUM BOOSTED PENDING I can't decide.... Syugecin^talk_contribs

What the Hell do you guys mean by it "not being related to rs"? Atleast it says what fakes are, unlike the Buddies article that does not at all mention what it is. I'll go rewrite it so it's not a tutorial. Chiafriend12 04:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to say this, but I didn't rewrite the article because it is not a tutorial, but has one in it. Chiafriend12 17:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Heh, interesting I always thought a "buddy" was a friend you had on RS. Boy was I wrong. You're absolutely right, Chia, but the fact is, the Buddies article is not being nominated for AOTM, and Fake is. Therefore, we can't compare it to another article, it has to hold the highest standards of articles. In terms of not being relevant, here's my worry: Joe-schmo finds the Wiki one day while searching for Runescape help. He goes to the main page, and the first thing he sees is some fan-based article--something that has nothing to do with playing RS. He then goes away because he sees the wiki as some fan-site dedicated to the fan-world of RS, not RS itself. What I'm trying to say is, not only does an article have to be very well-written and helpful (which the Fake article is), it really needs to represent the wiki as a whole...and I don't think a page not about RS does a good job of representing the RS wiki. Endasil (Talk) @ 19:24, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

K, I decided, Very Weak Oppose It's not directly related to RuneScape itself. Syugecin^talk_contribs 01:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Support! And to those who say it's not related to Runescape, it is. And DON'T say it isn't JUST because you can do the same for other games! I can cook in WoW, too, but I'm not saying we shouldn't nominate a Cooking article. Making that point is idiotic. Kang227 14:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose It has nothing to do WITH THE GAME ITSELF. It would just be like have "the runescape forums" has an aotm. Tesfan 23:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Treasure Trails Guide

I think it's good enough to be featured now. --Eucarya ^Talk 13:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak support Nice but kinda complicated... User page "Katshuma" Talk page 13:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose helpful, but kinda boring if your trying to read the entire page in one sitting. it'd be like reading a list of all the items in the game. You could, and you might find some intresting ones, but you would have to sift past a lost of boring info before you found something intresting. Tesfan 03:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Support Fragmented slightly but good. Syugecin^talk_contribs 01:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Kalphite Queen

Good article on a monster. Has good information. May need (a little) more pictures though. =/ Syugecin^talk_contribs

Weak oppose I think because we just did a featured article on a monster, that mabye we should wait before doing another monster as a featured article. Tesfan 03:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose Same reason. User page "Katshuma" Talk page 15:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

So? If it's good, it should be featured even if it is the same as before. Syugecin^talk_contribs 01:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's good, but it's not the only good article we have. Someone one looking at the featured article for this month might get the wrong impression that the only good articles we have are monster articles. Tesfan 14:30, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

'Oppose I agree with the above; also, the page lacks an infobox, which I consider vital. Mathwhiz90601 00:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Recipe for Disaster

I think we should do Recipe for Disaster as a AOTM because:

1. It is well written.

2. We havn't done a quest as a AOTM for a while.

3. It is the 100th quest, as well as being the largest quest in the game. Tesfan

Strong oppose. No pictures! (Expect 1.) User page "Katshuma" Talk page 15:26, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I've been working on that ^^ Momento Mori _{Real Pain}^{Not Champagne}01:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose, no pics, not a good quest guide. Chiafriend12 14:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Desert Treasure

Cool quest, lots of pictures, and I still think that we should do a quest article as an AOTM. Tesfan

Support Syugecin^talk_contribs 01:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Support User page "Katshuma" Talk page 06:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Strongly Support Was going to nominate it last night but it was too much hassle XD. Great article and one of the errrr how to say it.... more famous quests? Plus the guides to the other required quests are well written, I've used all of them on the build up and when I reach the fm and thieving lvls I'll be using the main article so it obviously comprehensive. VOTE FOR IT OR DIE:PKeepin It Rhyl 10:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Support I agree, this is the holy grail for combat magic users, no? And the word you are searching for, Katsuma, is 'infamous'. Mathwhiz90601 00:46, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Support --Eucarya ^Talk 10:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Support was nominated once before. --Whiplash 23:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC) I just did it about a week ago so I give it a SUPER STRONG SUPPORT!!! Patcong ^talk 00:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC) Support Nice article on an interesting quest. --Miw 10:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I used it, had no trouble with Desert Treasure, I support Endasil (Talk) @ 14:37, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, thats 10 supports and 0 opposes. Is it safe to say that this will be the Article of the Month? Tesfan 01:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
