Third Age
It didn't win last time so I'm hoping to get it in early and get a few votes. Its well written, well researched and contains enough links from the article itself to make it one of the most concise articles I've seen on the wiki. I think it'd different enough to make it stand out compared to the other featured articles. There aren't 100's of pictures on it though but that is to be expected. Don't be a bore - vote for lore! ahem 13:23, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Support - Well-written, good quality images. 04:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Support - I've watched the article grow alot since it was a stub, and the massive amount of information put into it by so many users really impresses me. I think it's really shaped up; it has my support. Morian Smith 01:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Support - What can I say that hasn't been said? I just read the article in it's entirety and I was very impressed by the thoroughness of the information. I don't think it's that organized on RS itself.--Degenret01 04:26, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Support - I just read the article and I was amazed at how everyone put together these pieces of information. This is a great article. It is well written, well researched, and very well put together. This has my support. Pilt001 12:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Support - It's a good article, and I voted for it last month, so it still gets my vote. Actually, I prefer the Combatants in the God Wars article, but that hasn't enough pictures to be a viable front page contender, so this is a good second choice. Khalron 10:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Support-It is a great article for the history of Runescape.-- 14:24, 25 February 2008 (UTC) Don't know if you're allowed to discuss on here but I think that because the combatants is in the article via a link which makes the whole article good, much like wikipedia's history of computers, so all in all combatants fits in better as a link from this article as expansion than it does as a stand-alone. That's a response to Khalron btw, delete if its against rules 00:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Support-The history of runescape is often neglected. This article fights back. ~Artwich talk 15:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Bank
The bank is the most important feature in Runescape and is written quite nicely. It has a list of nearly every bank in Runescape, and even if it is so familiar to everyone else, there is always one thing you can learn when you take a glance at this article. It is also a very picture-wise article. Give the bank the rank! (MT Emtee 15:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC))
