Kennith's Concerns
Original Nomination

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. If this were to be nominated today, I doubt it would pass.

 * Support - Per nom. 05:59, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * STRONG support - I don't think it follows even half of the quest style guide... 15:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Original Nomination

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 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.  22:54, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
