Nominations

Albion Attack

Albion Attack discusses every information about the Endangered Species arc, as well as give a strong narrative on the comic series. It was written well, as well as it having enough information to the Archie Comics for one who knows nothing about the article. I believe it is polished enough and has, again, a strong narrative within the article. BlueSpeeder - Show No Mercy In Editing 22:51, March 20, 2013 (UTC)

1. I feel that there are other pages more worthy of being a Featured Article. Sonamyfan666 Follow me inside, outside, through the stratosphere...

• I won't vote just yet; I'm waiting for Trak Nar to arrive and list all the little flaws in the article. I'm sure there are a few grammar errors. THE REFLEX ^dancing on the _valentine 22:32, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
  • "I'm sure there are a few grammar errors." I have two things to say about that. One how come you don't check the errors (I already did, BTW)? And two are you assuming the article is going to be typed bad? BlueSpeeder - Show No Mercy In Editing 23:10, March 31, 2013 (UTC)
    • I just checked it now; I think it could be written a little better, but that's just me. And Trak Nar is usually very proficient in finding all the tiny details about an article that can be improved, even when the article looks perfect at first.

• Sonamyfan, if there are more worthy articles, then nominate them. Shadowunleashed13"I am...none of me..." 15:44, May 7, 2013 (UTC)

Archie Sonic the Hedgehog Issue 247

Considering that Albion Attack is the only nomination, I have another page to nominate: Sonic the Hedgehog #247. This issue marks the eve of the Sonic & Mega Man: Worlds Collide comic crossover event, and is the epilogue to Albion Attack's main story, Endangered Species. It also references to many past issues, including ones from the post-Operation: Clean Sweep era. I feel that this page is truly special, and that it becoming a Featured Article would let comic or non-comic fans get a heck of a story to it.

1. I was thinking about putting this up. First off, it explains the story very well. The way it's wirten is almost exactly as it is in the comic. The images in the summary give the reader a preview of what it is like to read the comic if they actually had it; plus visuals always help out when trying to understand a story. Secondly, it is very well formatted. the format of this article is what every issue needs to be at. And finally the page galleries. Most Archie pages do not have preview pages and concept art; thus making it above and beyond. I support this article being feature on the main page. SilverPlays ⁹⁷ 21:41, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

1. The page is a bit childish all-around, with random ellipses and whatnot. Just read it. It's unnecessarily dramatic, and is not very professional at all. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 20:39, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
2. I agree that the writing needs to change, it's not that professional looking. I think some creativity isn't a bad thing for writing articles and such, but this is excessive. Myself 123 22:09, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
3. I agree with 123 and Bullet. It looks very overdramatized. "SPAAACE!!!" 22 May 2013 22:46 (UTC)

• Bullet, can you give me an example of childish writing on that article? BlueSpeeder - Show No Mercy In Editing 22:18, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
  • Read the article for yourself. The article itself is poorly written and not up to my standards. If it's incredibly necessary, I can provide quotes. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 22:51, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
    • Alright, you've prove you're point, despite I wrote the article summary, but I'll redo it, if you wish, BlueSpeeder - Show No Mercy In Editing 22:52, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
      • It's not entirely necessary, but it would be much appreciated if you made it more professional. --Bullet Francisco (talk) Contributions Editcount 22:54, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
        • I'll do that. BlueSpeeder - Show No Mercy In Editing 22:55, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
