===[[Fast faction farming]]===
:''Rejected on 09:13, 13 July 2010 (UTC), Page has been merged and is up for removal''
this will help a lot of new people, the fast faction farming part will be REALLY helpful, due to the fact that a lot of new people who join guild often ask,"What's DTSC? (or MTSC)" then when the guildies explain it then they will get asked, "whats a good build?"
this will save a lot of time! (i know there is a merge, but i think its better seprate) [[User:Zoomylong|Zoomylong]] 17:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

::::::Image would probably be easy to figure out. Text of a common scam or an open trade box containing a common scam, utilizing text underneath both to do a quick explanation of the scam.

:::First of all stop using bad language. Second I think someone els also explaind it to you this project is not about Helping people it is about giving good articles, articles that have a good writing, nice pictures a good structure and so on, more appreciation, because the people writing this articles spend a lot of them writing them. Third you may not find lore interresting other people do! If we feature a page that is not because it is based on how helpful it is it is because the article is good. If we feature a helpful page that is just a coincidence, for example guide to PVE. Zoomylong, and all the other people that think we need to feature pages just because they are helpfull, I don't want to insult you or give you the feeling your opion is less valuable then mine or anyones but please so acting how you are because it is very insulting to me and other lore interested people.--[[User:Wysth|Wysth]]
{{ri}}To comeback to the article, It is indeed a interresting article what I miss is a nice paragraph for the front page or enough text to make a paragraph we can not use all the text from the faction farm section. Furthermore the article looks really like a list.--[[User:Wysth|Wysth]] 09:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

::Since I didn't give feedback on the page itself before: I agree with Wysth. It's a good article but lacks what's necessary for the front page: a decent sized amount of text without being a list.

::Feels too bit like too many lists. But I think it is good on pictures. I, however, suggest merging [[Hero flag]] into [[Hero#Movement]] - it isn't a long page and would make [[Hero]] seem more complete than it is.

While that page is a worthy target to make featured, currently it is also a mess. Some points:
*Header "PvE" should be changed, since there is no longer a distinction from PvP needed
*The article lacks some kind of "order". Eg. hero equipment is discussed at 3 different places (customization, kitting out & cheap equipment strategies). This needs to be merged.
*The table under recruitment order is big, ugly and lacks explanation
*The selection strategies section is severely lacking. It only discusses with heroes to get for new *first* characters, not for characters on an account with already unlocked skills. Also completely missing is a discussion of which heroes to take into your party (e.g. problems with melee heroes and pulling, the abundance of necro heroes, etc)
*Only the nightfall heroes are shown in the image galery --[[User:Xeeron|Xeeron]] 10:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

===[[Canthan Culture]]===
:''rejected 15:05, 26 September 2010 ''
I cannot find the exact page I was looking for, this was the closest I could get, but it was a page about the Canthan empire and the history of the rulers, etc. If this page was editable to expand upon and add images to, it would even be worth putting up there, but sadly, Anet wrote it :(. 
If we can't put up this page, or I can't find the one I was looking for, someone else could suggest another page that has a lot of Canthan lore, that'd be great. I hate the x-pac itself, but there is so much awesome lore that most players don't know about through the short storyline, and it'd be cool to get some up on the main page. ~[[User:Farlo|Farlo]] [[User talk:Farlo|Talk]] 17:55, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

::Do you mean [[An Empire Divided]]? I disagree with featuring any kind of official document. Of course those will be "well written" and accurate - it's from ArenaNet's mouth. Pictures for these are sometimes hard to do (mostly in "where do we put them?" not which to get). I think Featured articles should be limited to fan-made articles, not official lore documents. -- [[User:Konig Des Todes|'''Konig''']]/[[User talk:Konig Des Todes|''talk'']] 22:22, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

===[[Halloween]]===
:''rejected 04:42, 20 October 2010 (UTC)''
As per [[Guild Wars Wiki talk:Projects/Featured pages#annual event articles?]], since I expanded it, and though it may be needing a little bit of sprucing up (I'm sick and edited while I was getting sick, I probably made some typos), I'd like to nominate it to be featured from October 18 to November 1st (second to next featured article slot as of this post, with the next starting tomorrow aka Oct 4th). -- [[User:Konig Des Todes|'''Konig''']]/[[User talk:Konig Des Todes|''talk'']] 05:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

:::I'm against this, as there doesn't seem to be enough non-list text to even fill out the teaser paragraph on the main page. Besides, the major event pages themselves will already be featured, in a sense, by the usual redecoration of the wiki. I recommend another Halloween related article for that time. Perhaps a fleshed out Mad King page, or the Dhuum article.--[[Image:User Pyron Sy sig.png|19px| ]] [[User:Pyron Sy|Pyron]] [[User talk:Pyron Sy|Sy]] 18:15, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
::::Dhuum has little to do with Halloween, it was just added during Halloween that's it. And it's set to be featured tomorrow (unless someone gets snappy and changes the [[Main Page/featured article/next|preview page]]. There really isn't enough on Thorn's article, imo, that isn't a list - just an entry paragraph, images, and dozen+ notes (which I realized deal more with the finale of Halloween and have just moved to its proper page). Though I suppose it could be expanded with lore on Thorn (and should be).
::::As I said, it could probably use some improvements as I was sick while writing it (still am, bleh! I hate these coughing fits). I'd like to add in a lore-behind Halloween section, much like [[Dragon Festival#History]], but couldn't think of enough to validate the section (only saying it's the celebration of Thorn's return...).
::::@{{quote|as long as this halloween isnt to diferent to all the others}} I don't see the point in this. Whether or not it'll be different won't matter. For starters, every festival will have some differences, even if it is as small as the hat (well, except CNY). Then there's the fact that every featured article gets a good number of edits no matter what - look at the Mursaat article, it was constantly revised while it was featured (no thanks to the new War in Kryta content, though few info on the mursaat came while the article was featured). I really don't think we should worry about whether the article will get lots of changes while being featured because it ''will'' - even if it is just in the form of grammar corrections and rewording sentences. -- [[User:Konig Des Todes|'''Konig''']]/[[User talk:Konig Des Todes|''talk'']] 19:24, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::well my augment has been not to feature any event has always been that the even always changes and thus so dose the article. also to back up konig's clam about edits after its been featured the hole point of the feature tag is that it brings attention to the article so spelling ect gets fixed before its featured, maybe the tag needs to stick around until the article is actually featured. as for this artical i think it would be fine to feature dhuum he is undead and that's holloweeny enough for me.- [[Image:User_Zesbeer_sig.png|link=User talk:Zesbeer‎]] [[User:Zesbeer|Zesbeer]] 22:26, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::That is the point of the tag, but that doesn't make a '''fact''' a '''claim''' (a claim is not a fact - just look at any feature article history, compare to when it is featured, and you'll see that even after the tag's addition (as part of the procedure), there are plenty of edits). The article will get more attention when it is featured than when the tag will be added. It does more for bringing discussion about it than editing it. Though with the lack of attention to the project, that tag is loosing its usefulness...
:::::::As for Dhuum - it really isn't linked to the Halloween event, at all. I'd rather feature Dhuum tomorrow and refeature Costume Brawl the next time - or something else that is actually linked to the event. -- [[User:Konig Des Todes|'''Konig''']]/[[User talk:Konig Des Todes|''talk'']] 00:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
{{ri}}Rethinking this: None of the actual holiday articles are that good for featuring, and even with improvements, might never be. Also, if we're going to go with 52 featured articles with 1 article a week (or so?), then we could feature a poorly-related article this year, and once we get 52 (or more) we could do the cycling and have Costume Brawl for all future Halloweens (and other chosen festival articles for the others - coincidentally, which would be all the PvP formats). So I wouldn't mind Dhuum featuring for Halloween (this year), but not in the future - and if we want to keep the 2 week feature, since we have enough for nearly 2 years, I suggest getting a second Halloween-related article (again, while Dhuum was the focus of one year's Halloween quests, he isn't really Halloween related). -- [[User:Konig Des Todes|'''Konig''']]/[[User talk:Konig Des Todes|''talk'']] 20:26, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
