Lore:Vampire

A lot of work has been put into overhauling the vampire page this year what started out as adding in missing information like alchemical vampirism, went to a full on revamp/overhaul of the entire page, Not only my efforts but the efforts of people, like MolagBallet and others that contributed hugely to it. Not only is the vampire page now fleshed out. But lore that was not added in, from newer and even older titles has been added into the page. For readers this gives them a much greater understanding of what a Tes vampire is.

• Support: As nominator --TheVampKnight (talk) 05:27, 22 December 2020 (UTC)<
• Comment: I think it still could use the addition of a tiny amount of content. I am planning on adding a section about the architecture of the first vampires found in blackreach, and how places like Greymoor predate the arrival of the Dwemer, as noted in Greymoor Keep loading screen. And how the vampires went down to blackreach sometime between the Merethic Era and 1E 221, which the Nighthollow clan existed by then. Additionally, I feel the main body could use a bit more images.Zebendal (talk) 05:38, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: Most of the content is fine, but I have a few issues with it. The first (and most important) is that there's a citation needed tag on that page, and I don't think we should feature a page that's missing verification for anything.
  
  The second issue: there's a lot of information there, and plenty has been added since I last went in and overhauled it. Problem is, I didn't finish my initial overhaul, and the way I did that makeover was very sloppy. I have yet to personally verify every bit of information present in that article for quality like I have with even longer articles like Lore:Molag Bal. I haven't voted on Lore:Hircine yet for similar reasons. Lore:Vampire and Lore:Hircine are very long, and I haven't had time to run a fine toothed comb through them (or run it through again, in Lore:Vampire's case) as I have with Lore:Namira and Lore:Molag Bal. I'm not going to support a nomination for a page just because it's long; long pages leave room for editors to leave more errors, and errors are something I want the article to not have if or when I support it.
  
  Lastly, I think we could improve upon Lore:Vampire's formatting in some way. I want to preface this by saying that I don't think the formatting isn't completely garbage or anything like that. One issue with its formatting is that there are a lot of subsections beneath subsections in that article, making for a long table of contents. That isn't a bad thing in and of itself. My issue arises in places like the Characteristics section. I agree with giving all the different kinds of vampires their own little thing, but bloodfiends, harrowfiends and the like have such short sections, and it gives the page a look that doesn't appeal to my graphical sensibilities. Image placement is another issue I have with the page. It's too wall-of-text-y in some places, and in others, the images would look better in different positions. I am responsible for some of the things I have complaints with, some points of contention were provided by others. The bottom line is that the page's formatting isn't wholly appealing.
  
  To me, featured articles are kind of like a home when you've got guests coming over. I don't want guests to come over to my house if the bathroom they're going to be using isn't clean. The Featured Article slot is an open bathroom door with some sort of homey indication that guests should enter it. Lore:Vampire is a giant bathroom, and one that I'm not ready to let some friend's mother-in-law use because I haven't yet had the chance to make sure the sink is clean.
  
  TL;DR: A page's byte count does not indicate its overall quality. Lore:Vampire isn't bad, but I feel like it isn't done baking, and we should leave it in the oven for a minute before serving it to others. -MolagBallet (talk) 06:56, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose: For the reasons listed by MolagBallet. Additionally, from just a brief glance at it, the page makes some less than great choices. Immediately, the choice of image at the top of the page is extremely poor, as it provides a poor example of the average vampire. Then moving onto the body of the text, I have an issue with how the page documents things from the game. Look at this:

From the article. Imperial culture views vampires as destructive monsters to be hunted and destroyed. Romantic notions of noble, virtuous vampires persisted in Imperial traditions through the Third Era, and vampires were thought to pass unrecognized in the Mages Guild and the Imperial aristocracy.

The original quote that that was based on. Imperial culture regards blood vampires as destructive monsters to be hunted and destroyed. However, romantic notions of noble, virtuous vampires persist in Imperial traditions, and vampires are thought to pass unrecognized in the Mages Guild and the Imperial aristocracy.

By simply removing that "However" and throwing in "through the Third Era" changes the meaning greatly. This is definitely a nitpick, but with a page this long, it's easy for bias and other issues to crop into the writing.

Next I have a major issue with the page structure. The page starts out on providing some overhead information onto vampires, which is decent practice. It then moves onto specifics about some forms of vampires, before moving onto general characteristics of vampires. This order should be reversed. Provide broad overhead information, then get specific. Additionally the "Origins" of vampires is inexplicably underneath the header "religion", a section specifically focusing on religious practices unique to vampires. Origins would be a good contender for one of the first sections on the page, not the eighth and in a section that it doesn't belong in. THEN we move onto bloodlines and clans, when we have already listed various forms of vampires separately as top level header, now we move onto how it should have been done in the first place. Some basic restructuring I would consider is putting characteristics at the top, moving all of the top level individual vampire forms as sub-headers to a new "Variant" section that goes next to the bloodline and clan section, put "Origins" as the section after "Characteristics", boot "Religion" down towards "Artifacts".

Next, I want to note that a lot of the sections are quite long (I have yet to review every line of this page), but they lack images to accompany them. When we have three paragraphs of text on bloodfiends, we can have an image of a bloodfiend to accompany their section. A gallery really should be more of a last resort to get an important image on a page that couldn't be inserted otherwise, not the default choice.

Beyond this, the page still probably should be carefully reviewed, line by line. I haven't done this at this time, and I could eventually get around to it, but I have other things to see to. If these issues are addressed, I could see myself supporting this article for featured status. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 01:05, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• Oppose: Seems that after almost a year, this article still has a few unresolved issues or unfinished improvements (Zebendal's vampire architecture section and AKB's "line by line" review, for example). This article has been in FA purgatory long enough. Croaker (talk) 06:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Consensus: Oppose. 3-1 Imperialbattlespire (talk) 16:04, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Online:Sentinel

This page is an excellent example of what a city page should look like. It has a detailed description of the layout of the city and its people have been completely documented.

• Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 17:11, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support: Because its good that its a detailed description with the layout and all being documented. --TheVampKnight (talk) 06:42, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Support: Suffers somewhat from a wall of text approach to the intro, but this is an immaculate ESO city page. —⁠Legoless (talk) 10:31, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose: Until we get a bot or program to copy the markers from the eso map onto the page (see Online:Lambent Passage#Maps for an example) this page won't be perfect. I'll change my vote once this is completed. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 02:15, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Lore:Khajiit

The Khajiit page was previously featured in September 8, 2006, revoked of its featured status sometime in 2011, and was reinstated as a featured article in March 31, 2012‎. This was all prior to their cultural expansions in the Elsweyr chapter released in 2019, therefore I propose that it be refeatured as it has since gotten a major overhaul. Compare the lore of when Khajiit were reintsated with their featured status in 2012 https://en.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Lore:Khajiit&oldid=920759 to current the current page https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Khajiit , and you will see a huge amount of content that has since been added as a result of ESO's expansion into their culture. 2012's 34,280 bytes to 2020's 77,092 bytes. We now have proper pictures for the majority of the Khajiiti furstocks, an updated pantheon, creation story, claw-dances, and a ton of other content which furthers it apart from the page in 2012. We have truly given this page much needed love and the Khajiit lore page is arguably the best and most thorough racial page out of all the other race pages because of this expansion. If this page wasn't already featured prior, I believe it would easily win featured status, but because of the major overhaul I feel it needs to be refeatured. We already have precedence for refeaturing articles with the Imperial Legion page as an example.

• Support: As nominator.Zebendal (talk) 23:48, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
• Support: I support this because of how much has been put into it. Especially the religious sections,and its a great example of what a race page should be. I would love to see similar work done on the other races, like Orcs for example. So those pages can be expanded upon greatly--TheVampKnight (talk) 05:45, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: FA status has not been revoked since its reinstatement in 2012. I'm not outright opposed to re-featuring an article after a major overhaul or expansion of the topic, but having this page as a FA for the third time seems excessive. I am sure there are more pages on the wiki than just this one that deserve some time on the main page. —⁠Legoless (talk) 10:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: I concur with Legoless. It's already been featured twice; this article is expected to be good and is expected to be updated as new information comes out. Everyone already knows Lore:Khajiit is good. I'd personally prefer to feature articles that have been built up from nothing or articles that are of high quality but have been overlooked. -MolagBallet (talk) 18:40, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
• Oppose: Per Legoless and MolagBallet. Croaker (talk) 06:52, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Lore:Tiber Septim

This article has underwent a major overhaul, what started as about 13 refs and a few thousand bytes now encompasses at this time 140 unique citations many of which are used numerous times. Things such as better formatting which was requested, a totally revamped artifact section that was inspired by the Molag Bal page, very expansive details on any and all things Tiber Septim and careful care to acknowledge all contradictory or shaky info while also not placing any of them as the “true” account has made (in my opinion) this article truly special. The last important things that needed to be addressed before even a potential nomination of FA status was a better formatting, and cleaner citation names, most specifically not having a single “events of X game” cite. Now that that is complete I would feel comfortable with this article getting said status if the other users choose to endorse it as such.

• Support: As nominator. Dcking20 (talk) 15:18, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
• Support You did an impressive job with it, this nomination has my support.TheVampKnight (talk) 22:25, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
• Support: A sizeable page with plenty of images that is separated logically into sections. There are many references to back up the claims, it uses a neutral tone to describe the content, and as far as I know, it contains everything there is to learn about Tiber Septim. It could probably use a few more images to fill in a couple of gaps, but that's just my taste; any images that fill in space would have to be thematically appropriate for the section. Overall, this is a well-rounded article that is well-researched, aesthetically pleasing, and chock-full of information. It has my glowing approval! -MolagBallet (talk) 02:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support: Fully support this, the amount of effort gone into this article by Dcking is amazing. With Tiber being such a crucial figure in TES, this page fits his status well. Imperialbattlespire (talk) 14:59, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
• Support: Dcking, Prov and Dscg have done phenomenal work updating this page. I particularly like the segment contrasting the contradictory accounts of Tiber Septim's early life, and it is a feature that I think should be replicated on other pages. Thal-J (talk) 13:29, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

Consensus: Support. Fully supported. Imperialbattlespire (talk) 03:02, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Lore:Sanguine

Sanguine as many of us know does not get much content or lore compared to the other Princes. I did a bit of an update earlier this year to give it a revamp. But its not I that needs credit for that but all the others that found information that truly fleshes out the page in ways I didn't even think of. Because of the work that several people have been put into this revamp as well as how fleshed out it is compared to where it was. I think its a page worthy of being nominated.

• Support: As nominator --TheVampKnight (talk) 05:27, 22 December 2020 (UTC)<
• Support: With how little lore there is on Sanguine, I like how people managed to come together and create this page.Zebendal (talk) 05:40, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: The page is complete and the formatting is fine, but it doesn't stand out to me. It's not a bad article, but it's not one that I would hail above all others as the perfect example of an article. I think Lore:Namira is a far better article, and I don't feel that one deserves a featured status just yet. -MolagBallet (talk) 06:21, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: I think the article could still use more work and general cleanup to be considered for Featured status. I just had a quick glance and had to outright remove a reference for being an inaccurate literal interpretation of the source material. The page is in a much better state than it was previously but I can't support it for FA. —⁠Legoless (talk) 10:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose: It contains several interpretations which are sub-optimal, lots of literal interpretations and straight out copy-pasted quotes. Rewriting could probably fix most of them. Examples: 1. The Sanguine red lipstick is a popular color and one of the examples of Sanguine's influence on Tamrielic culture. It is less interesting that it *can* be worn by Sanguine's worshippers, among others. 2. The Revelers of Sanguine may wear masks during any party, not just the "particularly heinous ones" (wrong interpretation of Speaker Terenus dialogue). The whole reference to the DB daily quest in ESO could be rewritten as an example of one occasion in which the uninvited person was ordered to be assassinated. 3. Attendants of Dibella were merely proposed by somebody to be invited during one party, there's no proof of them actually being invited nor this being some sort of tradition. 4. Cyrodilic Brandy is proposed as a suitable offering - likely, other bottles of spirit could do, too. 5. Stormhold's citizens didn't stay away from Sanguine's Demesne - one citizen simply said what kind of reputation the place had acquired... Tib (talk) 07:59, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Consensus: Oppose. 3 - 2 —⁠Legoless (talk) 12:04, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Lore:Breton

I would like to nominate Lore:Breton due to the stupendous work that has taken place on it, it has been overhauled by a large number of members of this community and is a perfect example of what a lore page on a race should be like, the formatting is amazing and the coverage of detail from all the games, no matter how obscure, is very thorough.

• Support: As nominator. Imperialbattlespire (talk) 11:27, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
• Weak Oppose: I am slightly concerned that the page labels this image as a "druid". From my understanding, this is a Mage enemy from Daggerfall, and is only identified as a druid by Mark Jones on his archived website. If we are relying on developer commentary, that's fine, but it needs a UOL tag. Furthermore, I see that the page contains a list of Templar Knightly Orders which are most definitely not Breton-specific; for example, the Order of the Hour has a heavy presence in Cyrodiil. I haven't the time to review the full page but I would hope that there is not a trend here of trying to de-genericise existing Breton lore. I cannot support FA status for this page yet, not until these two concerns are addressed at least. —⁠Legoless (talk) 20:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: The first problem you raise can easily be fixed and I will do so. The second issue is not an issue in my eyes as the templar orders do not say they are exclusively Breton, the Order of the Hour is the sole exception in terms of being in other places, and even then, the page just mentions they're a part of Breton society and links to their lore page. Also I don't see the issue with "de-genericiseing" Breton lore if its all sourced, which in this case it is. Imperialbattlespire (talk) 20:50, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
• Support: I didn’t get the chance to contribute to this massive effort but a shoutout to all of those who did, (now do one for my poor dunmer) definitely one of the best race pages on the site now. Only really comparable to the Khajiit. Dcking20 (talk) 20:44, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
• Support: Given the work that has been put into this, not only fleshing out the Bretons, but the new updated article had very interesting lore about the Bretons that I didn't even know much about before. Several people made this happen, and if Imperialbattlespire didn't nominate it, I might have putted it up as a potential nomination category. As its been on my mind that maybe it should be up for nomination. This article of all the articles up for nomination consideration deserves a nomination. TheVampKnight (talk) 05:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
• Support: This article definitely sets a high standard for other pages like it. It's clear that a lot of work went into this. Everything from the formatting, images, and the plethora of information are all beautifully presented. Very commendable work! Noviier (talk) 19:12, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
• Support: The article is very informative and highly organized. It's one of those pages I go through sometimes because I just like to look at it, and it sets the bar high for lore pages. Big props to everyone, this hard work shouldn't go unnoticed and it deserves the recognition. --Vincentius1 (talk) 01:44, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Lore:Hircine

Hircine has gotten a major revamp for his lore page since the December 7, 2018, https://en.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Lore:Hircine&diff=1890205&oldid=1887468 vs https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Hircine. Compare it to the current page, it was previously a page with about 4 paragraphs and a only 3 artifacts transcluded for a total page worth of 6,271 bytes. Currently, Hircine's page sits at 61,053 bytes, now detailing Hircine's aspects, his cultural interpretations, a history section going from merethic to the fourth era, and there is also the amount of related supplemental material that has since been created alongside it that helps the page. For example, Hircine's page now links to the Great Hunt page, has been expanded from 3 artifacts to 6ish (technically 8), and links to many other associated pages such as the Bloodroot Forge that didn't exist before, therefore complimenting the page. I feel that the article lets the reader know that while Hircine represents the hunt, there is more to him as seen in sections such as his role in Reachmen beliefs.

Skyrim:Simon Rodayne

A great little Skyrim NPC page with full in-game and technical documentation. This is a Creation Club article and I think it's a brilliant example of what needs to be done to document this new content in an older namespace. I think featuring a finished page like this would be a good way to encourage others to get involved in editing Creation Club pages.

Lore:Molag Bal

This page has undergone some major changes within the past year. The differences between the state of the article on the 11th of June, 2019 and the current revision are drastic. This page is laden with details, references and images that give a clear picture of who Molag Bal is, what he's like, and what his goals are. This page is a peak example of what a Daedric Prince's page should look like: it has detailed sections for different aspects of the Prince's involvement in history, his relationship with several other deities, elements of cult worship and a lavish description of his military and the Daedra that serve him. This article has come far since its conception. So much information from ESO was missing, and now the article is all fleshed out. We should hold it up proud as an example of a thorough article.

• Comment Support: Great article, but I really dislike the intro. I think a list of all alternative names is better suited for its own subsection if it's this long. Looking at similar wikipedia pages shows they rather make a new page for alternative names (which I don't think is really useful here), but a subsection could categorize them in a structured way and give some context to each of the names.

This page sprung up nearly overnight. Nchuthnkarst went from an empty stub to a complete public dungeon article over the space of about three weeks. It contains a full walkthrough with extensive imagery and a complex list of enemy types grouped by area.

Shivering:Milchar

If you've ever visited Milchar, you will know that this dungeon is intense. It is a massive sprawling complex with multiple surface entrances and lots of related quests. This article does an amazing job of turning this experience into a concise and informative dungeon page awaiting final review under OPRP. In my opinion it is a top tier Oblivion dungeon article; the maps are fantastic, it has good imagery, and the place has been thoroughly documented in its entirety. It even details the test cell XPMilchar.

Oblivion:Jakben Imbel's House

This page is a favourite of mine. It kind of falls in between the scope of the OPRP and OBHRP projects since it acts as both a dungeon and a house. The page actually predates OBHRP and comes from a time before houses in Oblivion had their own individual articles. It has therefore acted as a template for a lot of those newer pages, and with good reason I think - it manages to serve as a useful walkthrough without resorting to overly verbose walls of text like a lot of house pages do. I think this is a great (and interesting) example of an Oblivion place page.

Online:Moon Hunter Keep

This page has sections explaining the bosses and their mechanics, as well as all the different sections of the dungeon, what's there and any mechanics present in those rooms. This article goes in-depth, and tells you everything you need to know about Moon Hunter Keep. I may be very biased in saying this, but every group dungeon page should look this way.

• Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 23:21, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
• Comment Support: A perfect example of what a group dungeon page should look like. It has all relevant information as well as a useful walkthrough guide, something which a lot of ESO dungeon pages lack. I am withholding my immediate support since I would like to see a Hard Mode section similar to e.g. Online:The Banished Cells I since that info is currently missing from the page. A link to Online:The Alpha Predator is fine for the walkthrough but I feel like we should be consistent with having a Hard Mode section. —⁠Legoless (talk) 00:31, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Online:Tree-Minder Na-Kesh

As the person nominating this article, I support this motion. It's a prime example of how an Online NPC page (particularly dungeon boss pages) should look. Her part in the related quest is summarized succinctly in the description of the article, all known and important information is present (achievements, dialogue, health values, difficulty, et. al), and, most importantly, her spells and abilities are listed and explained in full detail. The sections are neat, and the article possesses all the details necessary for understanding the fight against the tree-minder, as well as her role in the dungeon's story.

Lore:Imperial Legion

This has been featured before but that was 6 years ago, a lot of work has gone into this page since. I've been focusing on this particular lore page for the last 6 months and think it's high quality. https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Imperial_Legion vs https://en.uesp.net/w/index.php?title=Lore:Imperial_Legion&diff=1411915&oldid=1411769 (2014)

• Support: As Nominator --Imperialbattlespire (talk) 23:25, 7 February 2020 (GMT)
• Comment: You did a great job working on this article and it's definitely close to being featured. However, before I vote, I'd still like to see some changes. While there are an excessive amount of sources on this page, I actually think it's still not enough. Many of the legions that are listed are not sourced or don't even have a description. The Artifact section is a bit small without describing why they are considered important for the legion and neither is there a source for any of them. Images are great, maybe some shuffling could make them even better (or pulling some of them from the gallery). Anyway, I'm confident that this one will be ready in a short while. --Ilaro (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2020 (GMT)

• Support: I just noticed it's already been featured before, but it changed a lot and it's definitely worth being featured in its current state. --Ilaro (talk) 17:00, 8 February 2020 (GMT)

• Oppose: There's precedent to revoke the status of a featured article and it be renominated, as was the case with Lore:Khajiit, which had insufficient votes in the nomination and was pushed anyway and later revoted. We also had a case where Daggerfall:Vampirism was nominated and a year later saw its status revoked because the article was significantly edited by KINMUNE to the point where it was clearly evident it wasn't the best it could be, and it never saw its status revisited in a nomination. Precedent clearly exists to revisit older FAs based on the quality of the article at the time versus the amount of work it needed to be updated. However, I don't see the case to be made here, and I'll explain.

We're not writing and reviewing an article about a no-longer-existing topic like the Legion's real-world Roman analog, which has a more or less set history to it to report on. This is an article for an ever-evolving game series. After so many years and lore developments brought on by ESO, Blades, etc, this article, as well as all of our other FAs particularly in Lore, will sooner or later become obsolete and need an update. That aside, any FA, even on Wikipedia, it is foolish to suggest once it hits FA it's in that perfect state where there's nothing further to be improved. There's always something. Great work was done by Imperialbattlespire and any other contributors, and their dedication to the article is worth noting, but it's already been featured and I see no reason to re-feature it, nor do I see a case to revoke and renominate like our prior precedent established. The article was in a really high-quality state as it was before ESO, Blades, etc and in our ever evolving TES lore there's always eventually going to be new information, so we can't even look at DF:Vampirism, a decades old game's article, and say "it was significantly improved so clearly it wasn't good enough then, because that information was static and just nonexisting.

Again, it's a very good article, and credit to everyone who puts their hard work into it. I'm not saying it shouldn't be a featured article, just that the fact that it evolved with the times as all articles do doesn't mean it needs to be re-featured because its original FA status has never been in question and it's always been a high quality article. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 21:44, 8 February 2020 (GMT)

• Support:Im of the mindset that just because it was featured before doesn't mean it cant be featured again. As future games expand more and more on lore, drastic changes will occur depending on how much information was added. A good example is the khajiit lore page which has had a huge amount of information added since the furstocks were portrayed in ESO:Elsweyr as well as khajiiti culture, but was a featured article prior to the expansion of lore.Zebendal (talk) 00:36, 9 February 2020 (GMT)

Comment: I hate to derail the nomination with a philosophical debate or anything silly, but while there's no reason why it can't be re-featured, there are reasons why it shouldn't. I'd prefer a one-time feature and that's it, because if we want to showcase the UESP's quality, we should be focusing more on expanding articles that need it and letting them be in the limelight. Not to downplay the work put into this article, but what's stopping everyone from polishing a couple of already great and already previously featured articles and nominating them over and over to feature instead of focusing on articles that need the love and are not great and showcasing what users can accomplish to improve articles that already need it? Featuring over and over the same Rolodex of articles doesn't showcase everything the wiki or even the series as a whole has to offer. Legion has had its limelight and it's time to move on and showcase other articles and other subjects. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 01:12, 9 February 2020 (GMT)

Lore:Grummite

One of the stronger articles I have found in the bestiary, and a very good candidate for featured status. We need more articles like this, and it serves as a good pointer for how to do lore articles, especially for creatures (a category we are steadily expanding, but there is still so much more to do). Also a good article to restart the nomination process for FAs, which slowed down for a spell.

Lore:Wulfharth

This article is pretty much the golden standard for a lore persons page. For such a character with such a long history and many confusing inconsistencies and discrepancies, Echo did a really good job writing up the whole biography, and the usage of the related images is very well done.

• Support: As nominator. —The Rim of the Sky (talk) 16:55, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
• Support: I'm gonna echo Rim's assessment. Not only is the article well-informed and properly organized, but it's also visually interesting. I also like the use of notes at the beginning of the sections for clarity. Although both the Arcturian Heresy and the Five Songs of Wulfharth are used as references way too much, some paragraphs could have one ref tag for these books, but instead, they have four to five at a time. I think there should just be one tag if that's the only reference, but there's probably a reason for it. Other than that the page deserves some recognition. --Vincentius1 (talk) 01:43, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

• Support: As nominator. —Zebendal (talk)
• Comment: I would like to support, but the page could use some formatting. The maps would be a lot more useful moved into their relevant sections. Also, the Denizens sections aren't that great looking. Perhaps change these to one or two sentences instead? If they are kept as lists, something needs to be done so they don't wrap around the images so oddly. —Dillonn241 (talk) 02:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Without wanting to comment on whether they should or shouldn't actually be lists, I've at least fixed the formatting of the existing lists. It's a widespread problem that I haven't yet found a purely CSS solution for (nor has anyone at Wikipedia/MediaWiki), so in the meantime, there's the {{ListFix}} template. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 04:03, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose: The page is being proposed to be moved to a subsection on a larger page. I see the attempt at humor here, but unless there's a compelling reason to keep it on its own subpage, the Traps page seems like the best place for it to be. As it is, most of the body of the article and the bottom note message is already there, so it seems like the better place for it to be and the redirect is most appropriate in my opinion. That makes this not worth being its own featured article, because it's likely to no longer be its own article. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 22:50, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose: I don't think we should be using Featured Articles for April Fools. The fact that this was considered for April Fools is evidence of how pointless and ridiculous that page is. Since the suggested merge page is nowhere near done, and was not nominated, oppose. If this somehow passes, then I suggest it be accepted with the conditions that it does not get a star and does not get added to the list of past featured articles. —Dillonn241 (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
• Comment:I agree with the people above that this page should be merged with the Traps page. However, I do like the idea for it as a one day featured article for April 1.

Anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't have taste and flat out hates fun in all its forms. Not a bad April Fools article. However, I do think a good alternative would be to create a page just for the Pebble Pal pet, try out a template, and have it be featured. Either one could work well.

• Support: Are we really going be such sticklers that we'd pass up a perfectly good April Fools joke? The page will be gone soon anyway, seeing as it obviously needs to be merged with Online:Traps, which has been the procedure for all other traps throughout the other games. Especially if we take Dillonn's suggestion, I don't see any reason why this shouldn't go through. If anything, considering that there are unresolved votes dating back to last year and that there have been more replies to this suggestion than to any of the other serious nominations, it might at least spur some more interest in participation in the Featured Article / Featured Image process.--Rook (talk) 00:53, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Skyrim:Myrwatch (place)

A great Skyrim place page which thoroughly documents the location; all the more remarkable considering the location was only added to the game under two months ago. This article covers all aspects of the house, including new functions like the All Forge. It has an extensive gallery, showing off the interior and the completed item collections. Featuring it would also be a good way to show off our coverage of the Creation Club content, a project which doesn't have very many editors at present.

• Oppose: Shouldn't this page be beholden to the UESPWiki:Skyrim Houses Redesign Project? Of course, when the project was created the Creation Club didn't exist - but that doesn't necessarily excuse this page from being held to the same rigorous standards. As far as I know, this page hasn't been checked in the same way older SR pages were. Even if this page is being excluded from the project, there are currently 3 bugs that remain unconfirmed, so I can't really support the page yet. --Jimeee (talk) 01:25, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose: I would really like to see something from the Creation Club featured on the front page, but it would be pretty silly to put it out there while it still has that template stamped on the top of the page. It definitely needs to go through the review process before it can be featured. However, if we want to push Creation Club content, I wouldn't oppose a Featured Image nomination for one of the screenshots as the majority of them are very eye-catching.--Rook (talk) 01:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose: Sorry, but I think this page can be better. It needs fleshed out region info with mentions of important places like Ebon Stadmont, Sil-Var-Woad, Wasten Coridale and Artaeum, etc. Architecture probably deserves its own section like on Lore:Skyrim#Architecture. The Flora and Fauna sections can be expanded and better referenced. Right now I don't think its comparable to the other province pages. --Jimeee (talk) 10:36, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
  • Comment: Not arguing with this reasoning, but I think you might be confusing the page with Lore:Summerset Isles. Is there any reason to mention Wasten Coridale and Artaeum except to say that they are nearby? —Dillonn241 (talk) 10:40, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
    • Comment: Well yes, at least some mention and their relationship to the main isle. This is kinda the problem with having a page about the main isle and a page about the larger "isles" (even though both should of course exist) - there is either a massive amount of duplication or one page ends up feeling like its lacking info that you might expect to be there.--Jimeee (talk) 10:59, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
      • Comment: The Isles page is about the province and all the islands, the Isle page is focused solely on the single island. There is only a limited amount of crossover, and only as much as would be expected of any province, its regions, and its cities, especially a region containing the capital city or areas where significant events occurred (think Skyrim, Haafingar, Solitude).

Redguard:Observatory

This is one of my favorite Redguard pages and by far the most interesting place page in the namespace. I know there have been quite a few image nominations for Redguard recently, but of the old spin-off games, only Shadowkey has had a featured article. This place is perhaps the most significant structure on Stros M'Kai as it contains one of two orreries in Tamriel, the other at the Arcane University. The focus on astronomy is reflected on the page with a complete view of what you can see through the telescope and all of the constellation panels and runes.

Online:Earl Leythen

Another ESO NPC, this one for a more major character. I was considering nominating this earlier in the week, but it was still a WIP then, and tib has made it incredible since. I also think it shows a good balance between prose and transcripts. --FioFioFio (talk) 00:30, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

• Support: As nominator. --FioFioFio (talk) 00:30, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
• Support: I believe this is now the most comprehensive ESO NPC article. I especially like the quotes in boxes to break up the dialogue sections and the number of images to go along with them. A minor issue I see is excessive use of indents; most of the dialogue on the wiki now only indents if there are multiple options at once. —Dillonn241 (talk) 00:48, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose: After reading this over a few times, this is probably the best ESO NPC article I've seen. The images are excellent and the article is very well written. This being said, I think there's still room for improvement, even without imposing my Oblivion/Skyrim format opinion too much on this. That being said, admittedly my main issue with the article is the lack of prose. But I'm not suggesting this needs to look like an Oblivion article as I understand that's not the direction we want to go with this namespace.

The "The Tower Sentinels" section has a good balance of prose and pure dialogue, but the prose dwindle a bit after that. I personally will never see the need to always list player options and NPC responses for a linear path of dialogue, because that format loses the majority of its benefits in those instances (when there's multiple options at the same time, prose can get awkward (e.g. "you can instead ask about Ri'Bassa" , "instead of asking about skooma you could ask about mountain lions", etc.). The player responses could be paraphrased near exactly and the dialogue introduced in prose instead. This has the benefit of being able to capture emotion or add good commentary to build up the narrative or introduce some foreshadowing if appropriate. This doesn't need to be changed in all instances, but I think it could be changed a good bit to introduce more prose and provide the article with a better balance. The large chunks of the article that are just player dialogue and NPC responses detracts from the narrative and story the article is trying to tell since our narrator disappears for so long in some sections (e.g. Lost In Translation).

I'm also not sure how we're approaching rumors on ESO NPC articles. Oblivion and Skyrim articles typically included the majority of worth-while dialogue that was said about a character on their NPC page. This helped to build up the narrative even more. I have no idea if there are more rumors about this character aside from what is already on the page, but I think including them would only benefit the article. They would help to further develop the subject and could be introduced in a prose format to provide the article with a better balance.

Related to the rumors, my last main concern would be the ending of the article. An article with this kind of size should have a bit more bang at the end than some show/hides and a player option and NPC response. Prose could be very useful here to describe how those last lines of dialogue sound, as the three dots probably doesn't do much justice in capturing the emotion filled in them. Aside from this, if the dialogue/rumors exist, wrapping the article up like how Skyrim:Ancano does might work well, where the aftermath of the character's death and other characters' reactions to it is included. As is, the article kind of suggests that Earl's story ends as soon as he dies, which may not be the case. All in all, this is a great article but these would be my suggestions to have it set a perfect example for what NPC articles written in the ESO style should look like. Forfeit (talk) 06:54, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment: There's been no discussion of including "rumors" on ESO NPC articles, and honestly I don't see the need with such a long article. Including all mentions of an NPC was already a daunting task in Oblivion when we actually had ready access to all dialogue. I feel like the expectation to include same is certainly an imposition of OBNPCRP standards where they aren't applicable. —Legoless (talk) 09:39, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment: Thank you Forfeit, this is very good feedback. I'm gonna address the three points: writing in prose, using rumors, and the ending of the article.

Prose - Strictly speaking, reworded player dialogue, followed by NPC dialogue is still a dialogue transcript, just in different format. Take a look at Ancano which you linked, it is full of examples like that. They don't add any emotions or build up to anything, they really are just a recount of the dialogue. However... there are some parts in the Leythen article where descriptive prose could be used. For example when he summons Mephala in A Necessary Alliance, or when he examines the stone inscriptions in Lost in Translation.

Rumors - There are some lines said by Valsirenn, before you encounter Leythen. They do not add much new information - this is already summarized and mentioned in the beginning of the article. But this could be added, however it is unclear where. Because of this, I think I prefer the existing summary in this case.

Ending - Yeah the ending could be changed, however, his story kind of does end when he dies. There are two things we could add - Darien's short comment about how we need to keep moving inside the Crystal Tower, and Valsirenn's brief reflection about her husband, after you have completed main quest. There are no other rumors or comments though ;) Tib (talk) 17:36, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Comment: For the prose, maybe "emotion" is going a bit too far in describing the impact it makes in these instances. A simple example from Ancano would be something like, "If you claim it sounded like an argument he will return to his patronizing self:". It may seem very simple, and it is, but to me these kinds of sentences can still be used to document player dialogue while retaining the flow of the narrative in the article. They also add a small but important amount of flavor to how they present the dialogue. This line, for example, gives a good idea of how Ancano will sound when he delivers the dialogue that follows and further emphasizes that Ancano was putting on a bit of a "nice guy" act in his previous conversation. When appropriate, you can get clever with these and add some foreshadowing, mention some kind of body language the character uses when delivering the line (maybe he starts twirling a sword around, waves at someone, etc.), or point out any other interesting behavior when the line is delivered or in how it is delivered. The dialogue transcript and prose accomplish the same thing in these instances and are very similar. However, to me, the dialogue transcript is only preferable to break up prose and to document branching dialogue or dialogue with multiple options at the same time since prose can get pretty bulky here.

I think the points about the rumors are fair, especially given the nature of the game. However, I will just say that large amounts of rumors can really enhance articles and create impressive narratives (Skyrim:Thonar Silver-Blood remains probably my favorite Skyrim article because of this, though admittedly that article had some detractors when it was nominated). But I can certainly understand that documenting all the rumors is probably more of wishful thinking for a game like ESO than something that should be seen as a mandatory criteria for the page to be considered complete.

Tib, those both sound like great ideas to include into the ending! That would really give an article as impressive and well-written as this the ending it deserves. I'm being a bit picky and more involved (I'm really bad at being inactive lately) with this than I normally would for a namespace I know nothing about. However, with this being potentially the first NPC page to be featured in this namespace, it'll set an example to all future NPC pages to follow. That's why anything less than perfection is tough for me to let go by unopposed as I want this article to be as good as possible when it gets the star. Forfeit (talk) 22:46, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Skyrim:Sibbi Black-Briar

Another excellent NPC page from the Skyrim namespace, complete with all schedule details, dialogue, rumors, etc. What I like particularly about the article is its use of rumors and conversations about Sibbi from other characters to help develop his character before moving into the quest-related events. In my opinion, it really helps to bring his character to life and makes the quest-related events section a much better read. Overall, I think the page successfully completed the task of making an interesting article about a character that sits around in a jail cell for the entirety of the game.

• Support: As nominator. Forfeit (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support: A well-composed page that treats its subject well. Though I don't think much of the note about him still being in jail after 8 months of game time. I think it goes without saying; Skyrim just isn't that advanced with its character scheduling. Insignificant Revisions^{Threats•Evidence} 15:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
  • I edited the note to be a bit smoother I think. While it'd certainly be technically possible to have him released after his sentence has passed (I believe there are even mods which do this sort of thing, though maybe not this specifically), it's more like they just didn't bother because they didn't think anyone would care enough to notice. Kind of like how in ESO they never even drag the invaders' bodies off the streets after you liberate a town or some such. — TheRealLurlock (talk) 20:43, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

  • Oppose: Reading the other two votes, I have to agree with Rim and Legoless on this. It's very thorough but the page is also very dense, too dense to get much out of without a full read through it. Sibbi isn't a particularly important character either, and that would partially explain why the page is so complete. For example, while still lacking in format, Aela the Huntress is a much better page that hasn't been featured. —Dillonn241 (talk) 05:29, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: Another great example of how poorly formatted Skyrim articles are. The article is hardly legible and a pain to read, since the dialogue is mixed in as italics into full paragraphs, rather than specially organized. The article isn't very long either, 60% of it is just his dialogue jumbled in, and he's involved in only two quests. I think this nomination being open for over a year with a total of four votes speak to how people don't want to add input to this since it was either too much of a hassle to read the article or since they just can't form an opinion one way or the other. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: I was debating whether to be the one to cast the fifth vote in opposition and thereby propel this article to FA status. There's nothing particularly wrong with it but I don't believe it's FA material. I definitely concur that there is a reason this nomination has received so few votes despite being open for well over a year now, and I can confirm that I've been staring at this nomination for months without being able to form much of an opinion one way or another. It's a visually pleasing and complete article, but it has little substance and I just haven't been able to get behind the nomination. —Legoless (talk) 18:01, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Online:Lilatha

A good example, I think, of what ESO NPC pages should be. Multiple images, detailed summary, and full dialogue transcripts. While ESO NPCs aren't quite as complex as the other games (schedules are much simpler/non-existent, for one), I think this one in particular is well-documented.

• Support: As nominator. --FioFioFio (talk) 01:03, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: Unfortunately I think the dialogue section needs some work to make it a bit more engaging and readable (shouldn't that entire section be "Quest-related events" per Skyrim articles?"). Tables could certainly be used to break up certain parts - particularly the conditional dialogue. It could definitely do with more images during the quests events themselves. Even with the restrictions in ESO, I don't think it stands up against some of our older NPC Featured Articles. --Jimeee (talk) 08:49, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
• Comment: I wholeheartedly agree it is a well documented article and no doubt how a NPC page should look like. But Lilatha isn't particularly involved with anything else other than one prologue quest and also not so significant character. I'd likely support FAs on more prominent characters, who appear in quest chains (Naryu) or are otherwise recurring throughout the game (Vanos siblings). Tib (talk) 09:28, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

• Comment: I made most of my points about this article in the Discord a while back and they've also been made by other people here but I'll say this. The article is great, a fine example of how complete an ESO NPC article should look, but it's not long enough to be featured. This is primarily because she's only involved in one quest, and there's not much else to add. I would still love to see more ESO characters featured, but they'd have to be important/recurring ones who have a fair bit of info about them already. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 17:49, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: I find that the formatting of this page, apart from the typo on the "Quest-Related Events" header, is excellently done and typifies what a wiki page should present, the dialogue contained within that section is carelessly transcribed, with a couple of typographical errors and disregard for ZOS's randomly-intermittent use of ellipses as well as a near-complete ignoring of the emdash, I find that the page falls prey to the UESP's all-too-common trap of attempting to convey a 'narrative' or 'story' rather than information. — J.

• Comment: Each time Bethesda releases promotional material that shows a representation of the player (for instance the Skyrim announcement trailer you can argue that that's Bethesda's opinion of what the "canon" character looks like, though they are nice enough to not press it in-game so that the player can be who they want... Still, why not show a gallery of at least one image per game, if it's available, of a pre-release image showing an example of what the character is. Using Bethesda's image means we have an approved, neutral source of "this is the Dragonborn" to be representative of who the Hero of that game is, rather than the subjective posting of random people's versions. I haven't looked, so I don't know off the top of my head what images there are for newer or older games that consistently show one type of player across multiple promotions, but if any exist, why not use them in that way? -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 20:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

• Comment: I actually prefer it being imageless, given the subject, but there is one image that could go there without any hint of controversy, Cyrus. I've been through the others and from what I can see only Oblivion and Skyrim have a proper "promotional" hero, with Skyrim (see the Wallpapers) having a lot of focus on that one idea while Oblivion is more in passing. There are also images of the character creation defaults, with an early default Oblivion character, one of Bendu Olo (the one in the game), and an image of the default character in Skyrim. There are a few behind-the-character Morrowind shots, but they are all different characters, and I can't see any hint of a default in Legends or Online (I think ESO has a default for each race but randomises the race).

• Oppose: This page is rather short, and only gives a brief recap for the accomplishments (and just the major ones at that) that each Hero has accomplished. The lore information (such as the Monomyth and Elder Scroll prophecies) are barely elaborated on as well. This page may look well sourced, sure, but there's about three citations per sentence, and 22 out of 30 said references are "Events of [game/DLC]". This page isn't super informative, and is better off being a stub than a featured article. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 03:24, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: I have to agree with The Rim of the Sky here. The entry for Cyrus is terribly short (I'll try to fix that soon) and others could use some elaboration. I think in order for this article to be featured, it needs to be at least twice its current length. —Dillonn241 (talk) 03:45, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: This is such a touchy subject for the simple fact that the lore is written to avoid mentioning any specific details of other heroes in case it conflicts with someone's own experience. Nevertheless, we have to assume many game events are true for the purposes of lorespace. The eternal question becomes where to draw the line when it comes to the deeds of the heroes (or "prisoners", per the ESO's Sotha Sil). I think that is a very contentious topic, and I think it's the reason this page hasn't reached its full potential and perhaps never will. —Legoless (talk) 23:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Online:To The Clockwork City

With the release of clockwork City on PC, and soon to be release on Console, I believe its time for a Clockwork City nomination. This article is quite detailed, amd gives a great overview of the quest, including the various dialogue options. Therefore, I'd like to nominate it as feature article.

• Oppose: This page is nowhere near the same quality as existing quest page FA's. Right now it's largely a text dump of dialogue and its even marked as a stub. --Jimeee (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose: It does include all the dialogue, but needs a lot more about the action. I'd be willing to support this if it gets fleshed out more, though. --FioFioFio (talk) 14:34, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose: Per the above, it's not up to wiki standard. —Legoless (talk) 20:26, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
• Oppose: Incomplete pages should not be featured. The detailed walkthrough hasn't even been started. —Dillonn241 (talk) 07:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Morrowind:Balmora

With the eyes of the TES community being focused on Vvardenfell again, I thought it might be a good time to nominate a Morrowind article. I always really liked the city pages in this namespace, and I think Balmora is one of the best among these. The article is complete with an excellent overview of the city, gorgeous images from around the town, and plenty of links to relevant articles for the interested reader. I like how the page also provides links to the list of people and related quests as this makes the size of the article much smaller since it won't have two huge tables/lists on the page. I also like the inclusion of notes that are particularly relevant to newer players, since this is likely the first major city many of them will travel to.

• Support: Concurrence with Forfeit. Balmora is also something of a hub for the player, early on, since Caius lives there, and many services are available (eg, for selling loot to) — Lee Carré (talk) 19:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support: We need new FAs and I see nothing wrong with this page. Not the best of reasons, but there are currently too few votes and interest to get this thing going, so let's try to do something about that ~ Dwarfmp (talk) 16:59, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

• Support: This is one of the best articles in the namespace. — Darklocq ^☎ ¢ 20:40, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
• Support: Balmora is the first city that most players arrive at in the game. Considering that it is a memorable place and is very significant to the plot of Morrowind, this high-quality article should certainly be a featured article. --DingoBongo777 (talk) 10:06, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Skyrim:Alvor

As one of the first NPCs you meet, and the "tutorial" for smithing, Alvor has a strong impact on players. It's good to see him have an equally strong article to go with it.

• Support: As nominator. --AKB ^{Talk Cont Mail} 02:34, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose: Article seems to be a mash-up of a merchant page and a quest NPC page. - KINMUNE ﴾TALK﴿ 03:14, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

• Support: A good detailed page about one of the first characters you meet. ~ Alarra ^(talk) 06:22, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Per later concerns on missing dialogue. ~ Alarra ^(talk) 17:02, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose: Overall, I like the article but I do have a few issues with it. I agree with Kimune in that the page does feel like it's mashing together his merchant information and quest related events. I think the article may benefit from sectioning off this information a bit more. Maybe list the generic dialogue, then the generic conversations under that, then the related quests, then a section for quest-related events, and then the displayed merchandise section. As it is, the Before the Storm details just seem like they were thrown in with the rest of the dialogue. Also, there are a few lines of dialogue in the CK that aren't accounted for on the page ([1], [2], and [3]) so I'd like to see these included in the article or listed as an unused dialogue note before featuring it. Forfeit (talk) 17:24, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

• Support: He might be a relatively minor character in a small village with a long article, but it's not unnecessarily long and it provides a lot of information, particularly dialogue. •D. G.|Talk|Work• 23:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose: If it's missing dialogue, then it's not up to standard, never mind FA-worthy. —Legoless (talk) 23:30, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Skyrim:Faldar's Tooth

For one of the more memorable random dungeons, I think it's rather impressive as a summary of this location, with some nice accompanying images.

• Oppose: I'm with KINMUNE here. It's a great article in its own right, but I can't think of anything that makes it stand out compared to the millions of other dungeon articles we have. -damon  ^{talk ♥ contribs} 14:37, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
