Classes & Races
I think we should have classes in there, just a a bit of help, and races for a bit of lore. I am not very good at making suggestions, but there is my idea. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shigamori (talk · contr).
- I've looked at your suggestion and have viewed every class and race page separately. Here's my report:
- The druid article is good
- The hunter article is badly lined out
- The mage article is short, and the section weren't done good enough
- Paladin, I dislike that black table, and an article with a cleanup template can not become featured until its prose is reworked
- Priest; this article has a redundant quest section, and it doesn't have external links
- Rogue, also no no external links section, and the title isn't bold
- Shaman, *gasp* no pictures of totems?, also, the section headers were poorly done
- Warlock, the section 'Macros' needs to go, and an external links section needs to be created
- Warrior, too short
- Human, nice
- Dwarf, rather short
- Night elf, nice
- Gnome, the big quote is unprofessional, and the section names aren't logical
- Draenei, section "Controversy, confusion, and retcons" has gotta go
- Orc, no WoW screenshots
- Undead, "Opinion and analysis" should be removed
- Tauren, nice
- Troll, nice
- Blood elf, get rid of "Dark Destiny" and "Controversy"
- The info from dark destiny section of blood elves simply needs to be merged somewhere else in the article, not elimited entirely. It is a valid piece of information.Baggins 16:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
For further discussion of any of the above listed articles, please make a new section! Kirkburn talk contr 14:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
European forums
Good enough ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kos (talk · contr).
- Oppose. "She's cute. What else can you say about her? Well, she's witty, atleast more often than not. She's also very often quite irritating. She might be some kind of a cross between a Gnome and a Troll." That quote should sum up what kind of horrible POV and non notable information is in that article. This article is definetely not good enough. Also, it wasn't necessary to mess with the layout of this page.

- Oppose Irrelevant to WoW as a whole, article is disorganized, offers no new and/or interesting information. -- TUSVA ~ T | C 19:54, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to be relevant to WoW. It just has to be well put together, which it obviously is not. :P --Sky (t · c · w) 20:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Doesn't have to be relevant to WoW? What's this Wiki called again? :P -- TUSVA ~ T | C 14:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- From the main page, and I quote: WoWWiki is a wiki dedicated to cataloguing Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft Universe (with a focus, though not priority, on World of Warcraft), covering the entire Warcraft series of games, RPG reference books, strategy guides, novels and other sources. It would seem it doesn't have to be about WoW. However, this is a moot discussion, for the page hardly meets FA standards. ;) --Sky (t · c · w) 14:44, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Melean
I just made this page it isnt about my half-elf character Melean it tells how that character inherits the name from the ancient Night Elf General of the Kaldorei resistance in the War of the Ancients. Its not just mere coincidence that he picks up a name like that since it belonged to an ancient Night Elf General.
Mainly this one is about the Ancient Night Elf Warrior and at the end it tells how it became that the half elf inherits his name.

- Oppose: Needs a bit of work.
- Fanfic/PlayerCharacter tag needed.
- Rename without the (night elf), unless you have other characters named Melean.
- Reorganize the headings (it shouldn't be in increasing levels of headings)
- You have your character as an "almighty" renowned person. RP no-no.
- Not to mention the images colliding and making the paragraphs wrap around images. There's an issue of style here.
Okay, I have just now a few questions. 1: How do you make the Fanfic character tag 2: What do you mean by reorganize the headings 3: And what do you mean of images colliding
Now stuff I state 1: Night elf part means he is the night elf form. I have another character named Melean as a half elf thats why i have the (Night Elf) tag. 2: What you you mean as im making him an almight renowned person Melean 02:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Strongest oppose you could imagine. Apart from the problems Pzychotix raised, I don't think that this article should even be in the main namespace. This character is roleplay-based and hasn't been introduced into any of the Warcraft franchises by Blizzard. And no, unless you can pull a Leeroy Jenkins or Alamo, your character is unlikely to become "renowned".APΘLLΘ(ZEUS) 08:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. I just don't think Rp characters should be featured. Stopa 16:14, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Grollok
I am making a video on WoW Model Viewer and this is one of my major characters, the great Orc warrior Grollok, what do you guys think, he is not renowned as like "The Greatest Warrior since Grom Hellscream" in the story he is a hero but not like Thrall, what 'da ya guys think?--Melean 00:39, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
