Underground Pass

Current votes:

This very well done and helpful guide provides easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to complete this difficult quest. It provides pictures and maps for easy guidance and even allows for a printable template which can be used as future reference. It has been rigorously detailed by many contributions and is clearly a very good candidate for Article of the Month. 01:57, 1 February 2009 (UTC) Support - As Nom. 01:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I would vote for it, But I pledged my vote to Ge for this month.--Degenret01 05:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Lumbridge Castle

• Support: 1
• Oppose: 0
• Neutral: 0

When everyone first joins RuneScape, they spawn at the front of Lumbridge Castle. Not only is it a landmark, but it is a piece of history. People go to the castle and use it to their advantage, but do they know the castles meaning and history? No! Therefore this well written and informative article to be the article of the month.

I was amazed at how high quality the page for Members was when i discovered it last week. The page is very nicely written, having a summary of the members features that i expected followed by a non-members strategy for first becoming members and even how to make the best out of going from members to F2p which are highly helpful.

• Oppose - I guided myself for my membership by this page, and it led me to some wrong decisions. Recommended quests seem more based on the author's personal preferences than in the benefit for a starting member, for example... 4ndrepd ^Talk_Contribs^{Jump to the God Wars II!} 19:34, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Grand Exchange

Current Votes:

This time, I think the page is very informative and useful for players of all levels and backgrounds. The Grand Exchange is the center of all trading and just about everybody in RuneScape uses it to buy, sell, or stand around and trade face to face. Plus, it is what affects the prices of every single tradeable item. This is a major part of RuneScape that should be featured. Whether you're a merchant, skiller, or fighter, you need the Grand Exchange in your life. Zezzima 04:20, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Support - As nominator. Zezzima 04:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - As soon as you go on the page, it says that some of the information may be out of date. The point for an article of the month is to show off our top articles, not something that may need improvement. Hess36^talk 05:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC) Comment - You just opposed mine so you could support your own article. Very immature. If you think it's outta date, would you kindly tell me what update changed it? And a recent update also happened to summoning so I opposed yours. comment - it says that because the grand exchange changes daily. that merely says it is mostly but not always 100% true. It is still legit.

Comment - I removed the outdated sign: there hasn't been an update for the grand exchange for ages and so you shouldn't oppose it. don't just assume it's outdated. Zezzima 23:34, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I opposed yours before I nominated mine, i thought that since nothing i supported was up I would make my own Hess36^talk 00:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Support - I would agree with zezzima. the grand exchange would update everyday so it is really hard to keep updated. I support. —OLEELVL100 (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment on 03:55, 5 May 2009.

Comment - You got me confused... You support, although you agree with an opposer.

Oppose If page may be out of date it should not be nominated. Runeueins 12:45, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Comment - I removed the outdated sign: there hasn't been an update for the grand exchange for ages and so you shouldn't oppose it. don't just assume it's outdated. Zezzima 23:34, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Oppose - Per hess.

Support - The Grand Exchance article is one of the more in depth ones I have seen on the wiki. Full of information and helpful pictures, some charts and graphs; it's a great tool for people learning about the Grand Exchange, or to get a better taste of it. -- Link199290 21:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Support - Not that it's worth anything, but it's the most helpful page out of the nominations. Asparagoose 20:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Hazelmere

This is a very well-written article, and goes very in-depth about the many aspects of his life, as well as other information that helps you understand it. The style is easy to follow, and there are many pictures to help you in places that may not be the clearest.

Support: Surprisingly long article about an interesting little chap. A place that I'd imagine a lot of Runescapers don't know exists, yet he's involved in many quests and miniquests/games too. Good enough for my vote, though I think it'll take a few more to catch up to the better known articles like the G.E. Khalron 15:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Support After reading this article, you get to love the little guy ‎Atlandy 18:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Very well written and informative, one of the wiki's hidden treasures.-- 19:01, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - He's a hero in RuneScape and died a hero too! He deserves the respect at least. -- 03:23, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - I have read this article many times and even so, I have found it to be very interesting and informative, with many great pictures. Also, I was a "fan" of Hazelmere in-game and was rather sad when he died in While Guthix Sleeps. He was a hero and this article does justice to his name.

Support - A rather good article about a little known character that shaped much of the world of Gielinor that we know today. History and lore is always interesting. ~kytti khat– 22:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - Hazelmere was a great character; he developed and behaved in a way that made him likable and, honestly, one of the best in the game. I think he deserves to be recognized - he earns my support. Morian Smith 23:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Support - The article is very well written regardless of my personal disdain for the gnome characters, so I give my support. Kudos 2 U Talk! Edit count! Contribs! 02:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
