Keldagrim is one of the largest cities in all of RuneScape, yet it is rarely visited by players. I would bet that most people have never even heard of this place before. This article is well-written and informative and should put Keldagrim on the map, so to speak. August 2008

• Support as nominator. bufar_(talk) 22:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
• Support I just spent 20 minutes reading the article and find it be an excellent city guide and well written. Can't get much cooler than a dwarven city. --Degenret01 23:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
• Slight Oppose As much as I like the article, and the place too, and it could do with a little more attention from the general Runescape population, I think too many Location articles have been featured so far this year; this could be the 4th in 8 months, compared to just three in the previous year and a half. Maybe in a few months, but I think a skill article is desperately needed, as the last front page skill was last April. Khalron 09:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
• Support Dozens of editors have made this one of the best articles on the site. I don't deny that some parts of it could use just a little tweaking, but it's an amazing article nonetheless. Morian Smith 18:51, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
• Support It houses my favorite minor minigame (Blast Furnace), and I like the city as a whole.--Stinkowing_{(I'm hungry.)}
• Support One of the best articles on this wiki. Zeus 1131^Contribs 03:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Like it or not; Runescape revolves around combat, and it's been far too long since a combat skill has graced on the front page (or any skill for that matter). Well written, pleasant to look at due to the colour scheme and arrangement of images, and arranged into appropriate sections; this seems a good article for the front page to me. Also, it would be a little lazy to oppose the above article for the reason I did and not offer an alternative. August 2008 Khalron 10:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Support As nominator Khalron 10:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

• Support per Khalron. It is a good skill guide, and has plenty of images.  C Teng ^{talk · polls} 13:16, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
• Support - Great article could use a bit of tweaking here and there but nonetheless one of the best. Zeus 1131^Contribs 03:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
