I have decided to nominate it again for Article of the Month since i think it is such a high quality article. My reason is simple that i think it is a very well written article that is well spaced out so it is not a big threatening mass of text. The article is also very practical, being just as useful to members as it is to non-members with sections like "Preparing for an Ending Membership".

Support: I think this article is worthy of the honor. People need to know what membership gives and the disadvantages to ending membership. otherwise, they may not make the best choice on whether to get it or not.-- Image:Cosmic Rune.PNG Peckham33 Talk Image:Chaos Rune.PNG 19:31, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Support: Of course one of the most important things in runescape is a member so obviously this page should be featured to let everyone learn about members. Zezzima 04:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Support: My vote (again) goes to this article. It is kept up-to-date, so a useful page for beginners.-- miasmic_blitz2.png Hapi007 Talk! Sign! . 15:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - free players don't know what they're missing. GoldFalcon 08:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment Nice one :D Zezzima 21:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Very well-written. Should I ever become a member, I'll use this guide! Because Zaros pwns the others. Oli4burggraa TalkBecause I hate The Great Orb Project so much. 15:45, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Per last month. ço¬ØFile:Forumadmincrown.png 21:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well written, exhaustive information, images well placed and no huge trivia or image gallery at the end. A good choice.--Diberville 21:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Very well written, and i especially like the preparing for ending membership part, very helpful when i had to cancel my mems.
We just need a Zaros one!

Comment - I feel like I'm the only one who is leaning to disagree and oppose it. The article appears to be a series of lists, rather than being well written in prose. -Byte_Master bytesig2.png bytesig3.png 17:53, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

While there are lists on the page, there is still quite a bit of hard writing. This article perfectly fits the requirements to be article of the month. "The article is well written and informative." "The article's pictures look nice and are not scarce." "Overall, the article looks nice and is easy to read." Article of the month is not about the largest articles, it is meant to be about the highest quality articles and deserve praise. Image:Groundunicornhorn.PNG Evil Yanks talk 05:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
That's the point I'm trying to make. 80% of the content is just lists, which take a huge chunk away from the article's quality. -Byte_Master bytesig2.png bytesig3.png 07:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Even though Byte Master has a good point. I think the full list of members' quests isn't needed. It would just need to be updated. Otherwise the article is very informative, and tells the advantanges of membership. That's the article's purpose, so, of course I'm supporting. As an added extra, all images are good quality, and in HD. And Jagex gets a ton of free advertising. Quest.pngXfinXTalkReply 21:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Well Written. Japol1 Talk | Sign Here 07:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - Article is very well written, with external sources for reference. Very informative, and follows the style guide exceptionally.

God Wars Dungeon

Not only is this a game for avid players, but it is also a well written and detail article. Many players revitalize their gaming experience by showing their strength and perseverance by tackling tough bosses. Whether its for making money, or for pure fun, this is a game and an article everyone needs to know about. Image:Rune crossbow.png‎ Hess36talk Image:Ancient staff.png 00:40, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose The article contains many grammatical errors and is not very detailed --Template:Signatures/ma44040 01:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Oppose SOMEONE hasn't realized that this article was already featured before...Zezzima 04:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment It hasn't been featured before, this is the location article, the history of the God Wars was the article featured last time. Khalron 14:12, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Comment Fine, I messed this up with god wars and godsword, both of which have been featured. But the GWD is a high-leveled area that not many people would make use of (not even I ever went near that place) so i think Member or GE would be better candidates for featured article.

Oppose - The article has some typos, and is far too large. In addition to the dungeon itself, it contains a lot of information belonging to other pages only. (Like the Dying knight, who has his own section.) A lot of information is also pretty trivial. In addition, there's a lot of SD images.
P.S. I think Zezzima's oppose should be deleted, as it has no explanation. Can't remember a policy about it though. Quest.pngXfinXTalkReply 20:31, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Support - The GWD is not only the largest and most dangerous dungeon in all of Runescape, but it a great place to make money. Also, many are mis/uninformed of it. —24.125.83.140 (talk • contribs) forgot to sign this comment on 23:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC).

comment - should this above one be disregarded as it is from a unofficial source?-- Image:Cosmic Rune.PNG Peckham33 Talk Image:Chaos Rune.PNG 05:07, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Grand Exchange

Current Votes:

  • Support: 4
  • Neutral: 0
  • Oppose: 3

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.Image:Rune crossbow.png‎ Hess36talk Image:Ancient staff.png 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 ownImage:Rune crossbow.png‎ Hess36talk Image:Ancient staff.png 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)

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. --Image:Helm of neitiznot (e).png Link199290File:Quest-cape-inv.png 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)

Created this article on behalf of Mage of Zaros... Tollerach talk 20:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Oppose - The article doesn't look too professional. While it may be informative, it still lacks these two criterias:

  • The article is well written.
Nah. The equipment/inventory seems to be (loosely) based on writer's preferences. The equipment/inventory may be hard to get without images. Only the most common strategies are listed, and the article is mostly made up of inventory/equipment lists. Not something I would like to read.
  • The article follows the style guide.
A handful of typos, only two pictures (one JPEG) and neither shows inventory. I found the Tips hard to read; grammar and weird explanations in some cases. Example:
"Archer Helmet more effective than Robin Hood Hat or coifs as its cheaper but for those who haven't complete Fremennik Trials Blessed Coif is recommended." - Understood, but grammar fiends are terrified.
"Ring of wealth will NOT change,but will make it less common,so a ring of life is a better choice" - WTF?
By the way, don't you support your own nomination? Quest.pngXfinXTalkReply 22:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
