 * 1) An example of what a FotM should be. That Damn Sniper
 * 2) It could do with a few pictures, so if a comparable article with that over it comes up I may just shift my vote, but it's still the best I've read in my infrequent check ups these last few weeks.
 * 3) I agree that it needs some picture to add some color, but it's certainly a quality article wortby of FotM even without them.

 * 1) Been meaning to nominate this for a while now. Enjoyable, well written, well presented and with lots of the detail that I personally love reading- I wish there were more artcles like this floating around. Also, a brave attempt to reconcile gameplay effects with realism, ie, accuracy and magazine size.

Comments

 * Seems fair enough to me. I'll hold out for a week or so, see if any competition shows up to compare it against, but on its own it seems worthy of FotM.

 * 1) As per nomination.
 * 2) Voted for it for GA, I'll support it for FOTM.
 * 3) There's nothing i've seen that's worth nominating elsewhere and this is the only nomination this month; however i did read the article and it is of a high quality with a unique familial twist to it, with the girlfriend and kids, therefore i'm voting for it. Parkster 05:30, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Voting (7)

 * 1) This article jumped into my mind immediately as a nominee. Actene has made a character who loses much but becomes more motivated and deadly as a result. One of those chaotic-good characters that you can't help but admire.
 * 2) It's certainly a deserving article. Sometimes it seems we have a shortage of good villains, although antagonist fits better for this character. He has motives that make him more than just a destructive force opposed to the main characters. That Damn Sniper, sniping. 03:55, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Deepest and most complex backstory I've seen for an Elite yet. Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 23:03, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Much as I'm flattered by the votes my own article is recieving, having read and reviewed Shinsu 'Refum for the Good Articles project, I can undeniably state that is it, by significant margin, the better article. As I said there; exceptionally well and creatively written article with attractive but not overdone visuals. That is not meant to offend those who've voted for my own article- I appreciate your support greatly; I simply believe this article is better.
 * 5) When a writer can make a person instead of a character, it's talent. Shinsu's history is well-crafted and there aren't any vague or loose ends in the article, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Szepasszony
 * 6) I can't help but vote for the character. It's a personal, unintentional bias of mine, and it's completely justified by this amazingly written character. There's a reason I voted for Shinsu during the Annual Awards, ya know ;) -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 22:30, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) Extremely well written with fantastic visuals and interesting content.

M73 machine gun

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — July 6th, 2011
 * Date of Nomination — January 10th, 2012
 * Description — A successor to M247 GPMG, this Machine Gun would be stuck in development hell until 2553, too late to serve in the Great War. Despite this it does it's job well in later engagements, and saw several Variants of itself be applied in the years after it's creation. An amazingly written and well thought out article seemingly based on a single small detail in a piece of concept art,  proves, yet again, that he is one of the most prolific Authors on this site.

 * 1) As per above :) -- Den fryktedehodet  07:36, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) The choice is a tough one between the two nominated articles. However I believe this article deserves recognition for all the work Matt has put into it. Sometimes it seems there aren't good enough weapons on this site. Although this article proves me, or anyone wrong when it is said that there are no good weapon articles on this site. Although I am not a very technical person when it comes to weapons, I found this articles an interesting read.--http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/halofanon/images/3/38/RGIsmall_red.png The Red General approaches 17:39, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Fantastic looking thing. Content's shining like a diamond. WoooOOooOOooOo! 22:19, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) ~ Hyper   Zergling  12:49, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) This is one of the best articles I have ever seen.--Supercavitation 02:38, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
