Miscellania and EtceteriaEdit
- Original nomination: Miscellania and Etceteria
Now that Managing Miscellania has been split from the page, the page is a bare shell of what it once was. It is now also probably going to be split into different articles for misc and etc. It is currently rather a nothing article, and when it is split it will need some serious work to gut it back to AOTM standard.

Fishing, Magic, Hunter and MiningEdit
I think that all Skill pages need something on the history of the skill, like Summoning history. It would be an important part of the page, and something that few other fansites would have. This would result in Fishing, Magic, Hunter and Mining not being included. I feel that the Hunter page is in need of clean-up currently anyway.

While Guthix SleepsEdit

While Guthix Sleeps... it's cluttered with all those unnecessary images, keeps switching from 2nd person to 3rd person, and it makes me feel claustrophobic...

Desert TreasureEdit
- Original nomination: RuneScape:Article of the Month/Desert Treasure (2)
Needs clean-up. I read through it and found it confusing. The headings make it very difficult to follow with no apparent rhyme nor reason behind them.

Trouble BrewingEdit
- Original nomination: RuneScape:Article of the Month/Trouble Brewing
Doesn't have any advice on how to play the game well, just the features of the game. So it needs strategies, tactics, etc. Also all the images on the page are SD which isn't good.

- Sd images: File:Tb interface.png, File:Tb supply table.png, File:Tb hoppers.png, File:Tb pump.png, File:Tb finished rum.png and File:Trouble brewing glitch.jpg. There were 3 more SD images when I first wrote the thing above, though they have since been converted to HD. Also I still can't see any tactics/strategies, just the controls like stated in Brewin' guide. Evil Yanks talk 05:04, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

- Slight Oppose - There's not a lot one can write about a minigame, and this article pulls it off pretty decently. But it's still so short... While I don't think this should be removed from the AOTMs, it definitely needs some work. Oil4burgers Talk 21:24, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose HEAVILY - This is one of the best written articles on the entire wiki, the images are being converted to HD as we speak, and there is information on strategies, there is also enough on how to play the game well, we don't want to go too far like the above nomination Desert Treasure which has 9 different methods of killing 1 of the 4 bosses, I say leave it as it is.

UllekEdit
- Original nomination: RuneScape:Article of the Month/2009#September
There is hardly any known information on the location, and it also lacks images. I personally have never been to the city, but there are no images of the inside!!! Not even OOO images of secret locations. Also the watersource there, what is that? I don't see an image. Sure, it give a nice brief history lesson, but many questions still exist. Jagex is bound to update the area! Such a large area has to be updated, and and article like this should not be AOTM.

East ArdougneEdit
- Original nomination: RuneScape:Article of the Month/East Ardougne
As the template says, more should be added to the history template. While the history section is ok, it is not up to the standard of most of the other major city articles on the wiki.

Warped terrorbirdEdit
The desription of which are weak to an attack assumes there are only 3 types that exist. Whether they've been updated since nomination to have different features I don't know but it's not the easiest thing to understand. Could use pictures tomake the differences clearer
Edmyg 09:31, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
Support - literally tl;dr. Does not look good and doesn't attract people to read the actual text. Featured articles should be great for the text it has on it, not just useful for finding the drops of monsters on. We got enough of those articles. this one's just not good enough to be FA. (needs more (good) images too) JOEYTJE50TALK 02:58, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
Support - Looks like any other monster article. Tien 20:25, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Strong support - These are just the comments I have of the lead section and info box:
- Lead: "They require 56 Slayer and a Crystal chime to be killed." Who is they? At least 56 slayer? I think this sentence would be better if it were written like this: "Players need a Crystal chime and [at least] 56 Slayer to kill the monster."
- The prose needs to be improved so that it is more readable.
- "There are also three level 143 Warped terrorbirds that the player must fight near the end of The Path of Glouphrie quest; see here for a guide to that fight." "In addition" would be better than "also." The "see here for a guide to that fight" needs to be removed. Also, why must you fight them near the end of the quest? To complete the quest?
- Expand the lead to add some other important facts about the Warped terrorbirds (the lead seems to suggest the level 81 terrorbirds are more common).
- Info box: Under experience for killing, explain what the "620" experience is for.
- There are two consecutive brackets in the infobox. Fix that. Smithing 21:54, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Santa hat Edit
Absolutely nothing about this article is Featured-worthy. All it has is a couple of paragraphs, a market history and a few pieces of trivia.
- Support - It's pretty small for a featured article. The majority of it is just the market history, which I really doubt too many people care about.
Nex 13:42, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Support - There is absolutely nothing worthy in this article.
19:28, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Support - First, I want to say it is not length that counts, but broadness and comprehensiveness. An article can still be small but be worthy of being featured in my opinion. My general comments:
- Lead and info box: In the lead, it mentions that they appeared 25 December 2002, but it doesn't talk about that in the article. This should be included somewhere in the body, and expanded on.
- The part where they appeared randomly on the ground about every six minutes should be cited. This is likely to be disputed (the news post says they dropped at random intervals [1]).
- Market history: Needs citations, for example: "When first released, players valued the Santa hat at around 50k." needs to be sourced. It also contains too much unnecessary information, shorten it or remove it.
- Trivia: Non-notable trivia needs to be removed.
- Could more be said about the release and reception? Smithing (talk | contribs) 19:37, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Support - Per all. Also, the article says that the hat provides a +3 Magic bonus. Is this an offensive or defensive bonus? Tien 15:02, June 13, 2011 (UTC)
While Guthix Sleeps 2nd discussion Edit
Article of the Month nomination
Some unsourced statements, including "It was, for a long time, considered to be the longest and hardest quest in RuneScape. However, with the release of new Grandmaster quests, it's lost this title; the general consensus is that Nomad's Requiem, featuring a boss battle with the level 699 Nomad, is now the most difficult." Needs a Development section (some info on that is listed [http://www.runescape.com/kbase/guid/while_guthix_sleeps_members here]). It has several grammar errors, some of the trivia belongs elsewhere in the article, and the single reference is missing parameters. Smithing (talk | contribs) 19:35, 18 June, 2011 (UTC)

MiscellaniaEdit
I can't find the original nomination
There's nothing special about the article. It has a short introduction, a few bullet points on how to get there, and then just tables of all the shops there. We have a lot of other articles that are much better than this one.

Kennith's ConcernsEdit
It's definitely not one of our best articles, or even quest guides. More than half of it is written with bullet points. It also doesn't really have that feel of a good/comprehensive quest guide (It's missing something). Our standards for articles have gone up in the past 3 years.

MembersEdit
The article is... to be honnest, an aweful one. Its comprised of many (incomplete) lists. in the "members only skills" section, the only one it talks about is summoning, in the level up table, many members only things are left out eg. cooking only has rocktails, sharks, and monkfish, (personnally i think that section needs to go). i could go on, but the article really feels more like a list than an acutal article, and it really dosnt feel like im reading a featured article.
- Support - as nom King TALKWer den König nicht ehrt, ist nicht Lebenswert. 22:24, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose - The article is highly comprehensive and a well laid-out read. The fact that Summoning is the only skill which contains in-depth information is because it also has an affect on a player's combat level, making it very significant information, and necessary to have on the page. It was an interesting and enjoyable article overall, and I wouldn't like to see it go. Ronan Talk 22:54, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Cape of AccomplishmentEdit
This might have been a good article a few years ago, but it's not one now. It's got a big lead, but then the equipment bonuses section is unsightly. And the Trimmed Capes section might be in-detail, but then there's a table and the end of the article. We have much better articles than this one.

BaxtorianEdit
This might have been a great article 2 years ago, but in 2011, I wouldn't want this to be featured. It's a good article, and it goes in detail about Baxtorian, but there's just not enough on him. It's a relatively short article and it shouldn't be classified as "one of the best written".

Fairy ringEdit
The majority of this article is just a huge table with all the locations of Fairy rings. It has a good lead but that's really it. It has a small history, bad trivia, a bad gallery, a huge table, and that's the article. If it were nominated today, it wouldn't pass.

East ArdougneEdit
It has a good lead and a nicle little section about it's history, but then the rest of the article is just lists. A list on ways to get there, a list of various POIs, a huge list of all the stores, a list of NPCs, and a list of quests. The first page is okay, but the rest isn't, and it shouldn't constitute a featured article.

Mourning's Ends Part IIEdit
The images are in bad positions, of low quality, and way too big; it makes the whole article look very unsightly. Also, near the entire article is written like a quick guide in bullets. I definitely would not call this one of our best articles.

Desert TreasureEdit
The article is quite a bit outdated, considering current standarts. it uses a lot of bullet points, and almost feels more like a quick guide, especially in the beginning.

Support - I don't think any quest guide using so many bullets (except maybe MEP2, where bullets actually make it easier to understand) should be a featured article. Hofmic Talk 01:17, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Changed to Oppose - After a lengthy rewrite in prose, it actually looks good again; and worthy of being a featured article. Hofmic Talk 02:31, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Support - It is better after the rewrite, but still needs work. E.g. the first and last sections are like "talk to Azzanadra until the conversation is over and congrats" (the same with Asgarnia Smith) - he should at least get his own section and a transcription of the dialogue.

My quests • Cutscenes 12:59, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - There is no denying it, the rewrite does help, but the wiki does have better quest articles, and it still does have alot of "do this, talk to this npc" in the guide rather than having the backstory into what the npc is saying King TALKWer den König nicht ehrt, ist nicht Lebenswert. 18:52, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

God WarsEdit
Frankly, this is a very weak page considering the tons of information that could be there. It has a relatively tiny history section and a long and very limited list of events. If every point in that list had a decent line, and there would be paragraphs about the outcome of the Wars, subconflicts etc. this would be much better. But it's deffo not up to the standard.

21:19, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
- I should do that yes, but it'll be a truly MASSIVE project. Nearly every point in that list (and it's quite extensive) could have multiple paragraphs on it. It'd take days. In other words - I need help. PLus exams are coming next week, so I won't be able to do it. I'll get to it eventually. Maybe. Ish. Either way, it's definitely not a featured article in this state.

Dragonfire shieldEdit
Original nomination: Look 'ere, ye landlubber.
Reason: The article is fairly short and, aside from the introduction and how to obtain the shield, is rather devoid of information. Some images have been ickily placed and some of the wording seems... disagreeable. Even if that is fixed, I doubt this article will be able to get much more body, simply because there isn't that much to say.

FishingEdit
I've been wanting to do this for a while. Ever since I created User:The Mol Man/Fishing actually, where I realized that this article sucked.
Ya sure, it's got a lot of information (still is missing a whole bunch though), but it presents it so poorly. The syntax is so unengaging that I had difficulty reading it over one last time before I made sure I wanted to get it delisted.
I'll be honest: The article has potential, but no one is going to go forth and fix it. Not being a pessimist, just being realistic.
It's not worthy of being featured anymore... It's missing information, and, if that weren't enough, it makes a mockery of the English language with its subpar grammar and dull structure.
Any wordsmith can feel free to attempt a rewrite, but because none of you will, can we just delist it for now?

Caught fish may be cooked using a bunsen burner, and are often sold to other players because of their ability to heal hurt feelings. When a player has achieved level 99 in Fishing, they may purchase a pity hug from the evil guy inside the secret hideout of doom for 99,000 beers on the wall, one of which must be taken down and passed around."
