Kalach-Cha

 * Vote
 * -1


 * For
 * BadCatMan


 * Against
 * Darkwynters, hash


 * Disclaimer
 * Pros
 * Huge (biggest real article on the wiki), complete, popular topic — BadCatMan
 * Popular — hash
 * Cons
 * No pictures, huge wall of text. B canon, but that's not a real drawback. The main problem is the language: it's very vague, severely overuses "would" statements, uses awkward his/her and he/she genders, and generally suffers for trying to accommodate the branching storylines of the game and player customisation of the character. — BadCatMan
 * Too comprehensive - lots of information that doesn't need to be there; Lots of red links; unattractive. — hash
 * Organization; needs to be reworded; no sources for specific game references - Darkwynters
 * Requests
 * This needs an edit to improve the language (hey, that's something I can do). Pictures can be included by taking scenes from the game and other character (essentially, the article is as much a synopsis of the game as it is a biography of the character). — BadCatMan
 * Feels like I am playing a game, not reading about a person and his history - Darkwynters
 * Feels like I am playing a game, not reading about a person and his history - Darkwynters

 * For
 * Jandor, Regis87


 * Against
 * Possessed Priest


 * Pros
 * At first glance, it doesn't seem that bad. — Jandor (talk) 16:25, August 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cons
 * Not fleshed out enough to be a Featured Article. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 12:03, May 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Mainly only relies on two sources, VGtC and the novel. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 12:03, May 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Refs missing at end of paragraphs (and other places), inconsistent formatting in locations. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 12:03, May 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Needs general tidying. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 12:03, May 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Appendix and all subsections missing. ~ Possessed Priest (talk) 12:03, May 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Requests
 * Being a quite popular area of FR (Cormyr, although I'm not that fond of this area yet), we should also look it more thoroughly for possible easy refreshes-updates-enrichment. — Jandor (talk) 16:25, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Mystra

 * Nominated by
 * Moviesign


 * Disclaimer
 * I rewrote most of this article. – Moviesign


 * Vote
 * 1


 * For
 * Regis87


 * Against
 * Pros
 * A fairly well-rounded article that hopefully sheds some light on the confusion of the many Mystras. – Moviesign
 * Quite a few nice illustrations – Moviesign
 * Well written and fleshed out, a very important goddess. — BadCatMan (talk)
 * Cons
 * Subject is from pre-Time of Troubles and is therefore 2nd-edition with limited sources, not very modern, and might have limited appeal. – Moviesign
 * Mystryl/Mystra is important to the setting in all her incarnations, and this Mystra's actions continue to have importance (making the Chosen, raising gods, etc.) — BadCatMan (talk)
 * I have laid the foundation, but this article needs fleshing out with information from the novels before it's feature-worthy. – Moviesign
 * Requests
 * Much of the history is based on adventure sourcebooks and not the novels. Please discuss at Talk:Mystra, especially whether this is a con or not. I honestly don't know. – Moviesign
 * Yeah, there's a lot more history and personality to her in the novels. I touched on this at the Talk page. — BadCatMan (talk)
 * Someone please add info and flavor from the novels. – Moviesign
