Personally, I think any one of the GTA Games should be a Featured Article. Maybe even the GTA Series in it's entirety. So, long story short, I think you should put one of these as a featured article: [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA1]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]], [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance|GTA Advance]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] - [[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson|CJ]] 23:05, 15 June 2007 (BST) | Personally, I think any one of the GTA Games should be a Featured Article.

:Sorry for the delay. Featured articles are supposed to represent the best pages, not the best subjects. Pages with good editing, spelling, grammar, links, images, categories etc; rather than just important pages. The games are all listed in the menu on the left, no need to make them featured as well. The [[Grand Theft Auto: London | :Sorry for the delay. Featured articles are supposed to represent the best pages, not the best subjects. Pages with good editing, spelling, grammar, links, images, categories etc; rather than just important pages. The games are all listed in the menu on the left, no need to make them featured as well. The [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]] page is pretty crap, and definitely does not deserve featured article status. [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City in GTA IV]] is a good article, and does deserve featured article status. [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas]] is pretty good too, although it could do with text as well as the table. There are quite a few other [[Special:Longpages|Longpages]] that could be considered, such as [[Leone Family]]. | ||
:Today's featured article on Wikipedia is [[wp:Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon]] (the Queen Mother) - not the most important page in the world, but featured because of its quality and completeness: ''"A featured article exemplifies our very best work and features professional standards of writing and presentation. In addition to meeting the requirements for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes."'' - see [[wp:Wikipedia:Featured article criteria]].

:Yes, I think [[Banshee]] deserves to be a featured article. I don't think [[The Cousins Bellic]] should be on because there is a broken link on the page. --[[User:Aussiebushmatt|Aussiebushmatt]] 18:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC) | :Yes, I think [[Banshee]] deserves to be a featured article.

::Banshee is good yeah, I'll add that soon. The Cousins Bellic had been moved to a sub page for no reason, which I have reversed. It is good, but not quite good enough to be featured yet - we want the BEST articles on the entire wiki! [[ | ::Banshee is good yeah, I'll add that soon.

[[It's Your Call]] has everything a mission article should have and looks like a good example of a mission article, and i think we need a featured mission, any suggestions? also what about [[Random Characters]] and [[100% Completion in GTA IV]].

:It's Your Call fails as it does not follow the mission format as it is a walkthrough, which should be moved to It's Your Call/Walkthrough once the mission article is created. As for other articles may I suggest: [[Salvatore Leone]] and [[Characters by Surname]] (although I'm in the process of revamping that page in [[User:A-Dust/Sandbox 1|this sandbox]], unless people believe the current article is better).

:I'd rather not have loads of articles of the same type. Lets try and get a bit of variety, using the best of each type of page. Put in one list, one character, one mission, one vehicle, one weapon, one gang, one location, one feature, one plot/war, one forum discussion etc. [[ | :I'd rather not have loads of articles of the same type.
