Current nominations


Game Modes

Informative with a lot of pictures and a good layout. Also explains a lot to any new players checking out this Wiki. --Firestorm  User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg 20:06, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support It is indeed informative, and it would definitely help newer users to get used to the game modes, and help them understand how things are done and played. Renaman 14:00, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Sounds perfectly good for a featured article. Mortis 17:53, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Very well written. --SandeProElite 10:38, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Well written, excellent supporting images, important subject matter. — User Ten19 Hexagon.png Ten19 [T|C] 06:50, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Hydro

i nominate tc_hydro a well written article explaining to the best of it's ability what this mode is about using video pictures and well organized sections on top of that the map's unique well thought out game mode needs to be recognizedAres5566 02:51, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support I also feel it is a substantial and well written articles. It has plenty of pictures and videos, and it is intricate without being hard to read.Kevschow 02:25, 8 December 2010 (UTC)(I'd swear i had the tildes. Sorry)
Pictogram plus.png Support I've always liked the map, and it would be good to help users to find new things to try out. Also, to the user above, please mark your posts with four tildes before posting. Renaman 14:02, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support One of the best maps in the game. High quality, and definitely deserves to be featured. Mortis 14:09, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Walkway

I'd like to bring tr_walkway to the light. I think it would be a nice article to feature on the front page to users who are curious about TF2. It could use some more information, but it's a consideration. TechnetiumG 23:20, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Pictogram minus.png Oppose: The article itself doesn't really offer any interesting information that deserves to be highlighted. This is probably because there really isn't a whole lot to Walkway, other than it being a community-made training map. I think that the official blog highlight was enough. --Ten19 05:44, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Headless Horseless Horseman

I nominate the HHH as it is informitive, interesting, and goes by the required set of rules for a featured article. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sandvich Heavinski (talk) • (contribs) 23:32, 14 January 2011

Probably not the best idea since it is quite cluttered and in need of a cleanup.--Focusknock 23:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Wrangler

I nominate the Wrangler page, because it's awesome.

Hilarious Pill 11:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support - Informative, well detailed, and in a correct layout. Everything you need to know, really.--Focusknock 19:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Simply a great article. I approve.  –  Duel RED.png Epic Eric Duel BLU.png (T | C) 19:12, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support FEATURE THIS BAD BOY! --Stevoisiak 18:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Team Fortress Classic

Considering that the majority of TF2 players haven't even heard of Team Fortress Classic, why not feature it? While the article IS a little short, it is an interesting read. --Stevoisiak 21:28, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Yeah i agree with Stevosiak because Tfc is just an amazing game, without it there would be no tf2. THE3STOOGES 21:50, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support I was going to nominate the Main Page (Classic) when the entire classic became a little more complete. But, I suppose that TFC would make a great page also, to show where the TF2 empire came from. K-MacTfccivilian thumb.png (Talk | Contrib) 18:21, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support Put This In! THE3STOOGES 00:16, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram plus.png Support It's always good to know the origin of a game you know and enjoy. Not only that but I found it a really informative article about Team Fortress and what it was like.RED Überneedle.png - Lexar - talk 08:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Disguise

Seems like a very informative article to me, and is easy to read. Should it be featured? SnowCanary 21:59, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms

It's a pretty informative article that shows people what TF2 could of been. Leaderboard class soldier.pngJust a Gigolo - (talk) 08:02, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

2fort

Informative, well-written and such a good map.  – User Ohyeahcrucz Sig.png Ohyeahcrucz [T][C] 23:35, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Pictogram plus.png Support I don't see why not. The 2Fort article is nicely written, and as probably the most iconic map in the game I think it deserves a spot on the main page. Xenak Xenak (Talk|Contribs) 00:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
I'm conflicted. On one side, it's 2fort, but on the other, it's a well written article. It's hard to measure out the good from the bad in this. Leaderboard class soldier.pngJust a Gigolo - (talk) 00:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Pictogram comment.png Comment It's not a matter of being iconic or a good map; it's a matter of being a greatly-written article. For instance, we have Dynamite Pack, a rather "hidden" article, and it became featured.  –  Duel RED.png Epic Eric Duel BLU.png (T | C) 00:08, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
