Counter-Strike

Comprehensive and routinely vandalized; should be featured and protected accordingly. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 18:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This is never going to get featured with no references whatsoever, but there are other problems as well (short sections, too many lists etc. - try a peer review first). I agree it's pretty comprehensive though. -- grm_wnr Esc 20:00, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and what do you mean with "protected accordingly"? -- grm_wnr Esc 20:01, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Put on more watchlists for starters. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 05:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Object The article lacks references and inline citations. There are a few short sections (like culture), and too many lists. Suggest peer review first. AndyZ _t 21:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. "Routinely vandalised" implies at least a certain degree of instability, and "protected according" (I assume you mean semi-protect) can happen with or without FA-status. Batmanand | Talk 15:35, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It's not a complete article, the development history just isn't complete. Where are barking dog studios? When were as_, de_, and es maps introduced? What about the experiment with drivable vehicles circa beta 7? The removal of bunny hopping? Sure, someone new to Counter-Strike won't have a clue about it, and may not even think it to be important. But even back in Counter-Strike's beta days, it was easily the most popular online FPS around, things like that affected a great deal of the community back then, and should not be omitted. I don't like the "commonly played unofficial maps" section either. I know we are judging this article alone, but it links to List of Counter-Strike maps, something which I personally think should be deleted as it's full of unsourced POV (size, complexity, favour?) and should be redunant due to Counter-Strike maps. The legacy section should at least mention the slew of counter-strike clones which now exist. The counter-strike culture section should be expanded given the large article at Counter-Strike culture. This is no way near featured standard. - Hahnch e n 18:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
