 * Description — An impressively professional-quality article written by one of our community's more recent users. I was never big on reading about scientific writing in articles, but this has definitely caught my attention.


 * 1) Definitely a nice article that has a lot of potential --  Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 16:59, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

 * Date joined — December 27th, 2012
 * Description — It's a shame this article has escaped my notice for so long, because it really does show great skill on the author's part. But that's mainly owing to the fact that this article was posted all in one day and left untouched. Still, I don't think it would be quite fair to let the author's hard work remain under the radar.


 * 1) Quite in-depth. The format is a little off putting, but it detracts little from the overall quality of the page.
 * 2) I concur.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 00:29, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) As per nomination. 19:09, September 1, 2013 (EST)

 * Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
 * Date joined — October 3rd, 2012
 * Description — While this article has a few things to be desired, it's quite a sight for a new user. Reminds me of a number of still-standing Necros Spartans.
 * 1) There's definite potential in here, in spite of a few teething troubles. Raven&#39;s wing (talk) 16:39, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

 * Date joined — June 24th, 2013
 * Description — A well-written and formatted article about a Inner-Outer region border colony. As it stands, the article is fine for linking to, but it could potentially be the start of something with a rich history in the expansion of the UEG.
 * 1) As per nomination. That Damn Sniper 10:55, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Looks fantastic; with some additional work, I could see this being nominated as a Good Article as well. Auguststorm1945 (Talk ) 03:53, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

 * Date joined — August 14, 2013
 * Description — One of the still-expanding but better developing articles by our new user community. The content is diverse and fascinating, and although there are some red links present, they're more of an indication of the author's intention to expand his work than of poor quality.

Hell in Paradise: Days Long Gone (1)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — August 20, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — August 20, 2013
 * Date joined — June 19, 2013
 * Description — An excellent in-the-works story that demonstrates the author's ability to write not only with all the proper spelling and grammar that we hope to see in new users, but also the user's understanding to organize the page so that it's easy on the eyes. I'm keeping my vote off this nomination for now since the page has only begun to receive content, but this one definitely looks promising and I don't want to forget about it later on.
 * 1) Excellent work. Can't wait to see how this pans out.

 * Date joined — June 9, 2013
 * Description — Details the purpose and history of an ONI research base on Reach. While there are some minor formatting and possible canonical issues (nothing tag-worthy, of course), it is nevertheless a well thought out and interesting article.

Halo Wars: The Great War (0)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — September 1, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — September 6, 2013
 * Date joined — July 26, 2013
 * Description — An epic Halo RTS game which tells the stories of all the history and major battles of the Human-Covenant war. It isn't a sequel to Halo Wars, but shares many of its ideas and concepts but note all content from Halo Wars has been greatly expanded and improved. It is the (almost complete) product of four years of planning and writing, its ended up being the size of a small novel so it takes a lot of reading to get a full understanding.

September 2013 — UNSC Army (Classified series)

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — September 3rd, 2012
 * Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
 * Date joined — September 3, 2012
 * Description — An expansion of the UNSC Army detailing unit types, taking more than a few elements (like Green Berets) from modern US forces as we've seen elsewhere in canon.


 * 1) A bit American-centric, but the UNSC does ultimately take cues from the US Military, and the article itself is well written and thought out.
 * 2) A nicely laid-out article, easy to read and great detail throughout. Definitely worthy of FotM.
 * 3) I like it's in-depth approach to a branch that has had so little attention in official material. --I shall write great ballads describing your painful, gruesome death.
 * 4) A nice article which helps fill one of many gaps, as I like to do myself. A tad on the short side, but well written and structured. Only cool kids vote for the UNSC army!
 * 5) As per above. 18:50, August 25, 2013 (EST)
 * 6) I like it.

 * Date of Creation — April 21st, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — May 2nd, 2013
 * Date joined — February 7th, 2013
 * Description — An in-the-works but promising Sangheili article that's caught my interest. As someone who is fascinated by the character of the Sangheili species, I hope to see that The Pale Kestrl continues to work on this character in the future to earn it additional distinguished titles in the future. In the meantime, here's my nomination for its potential FotM award.
 * 1) Quite engaging for a rogue Sangheili, and avoids a number of tropes. Hope to see more of him in the future!
 * 2) Out of the other articles put up for nomination, this one caught my eye the most. Along with Ajax, I'd like to see more of his character expanded on in the future. --LoyalHaloFan
 * 3) As per nomination.
 * 4) As per nomination. --I am hungry. Feed me. (talk) 20:59, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

July 2013 — The Battle of Sydney

 * Writer —
 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — April 6th, 2013‎
 * Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
 * Date joined — April 6th, 2013‎
 * Description — A tad rough around the edges, but the Battle of Sydney page shows a lot of promise that is rare in a new member. Cleary having a lot of work and inspiration put into it with hopefully a lot more to come (to expand on the great ideas the member has), I can't wait to see what Gamma has in store.
 * 1) Nominationsies!
 * 2) I concur with Stalker.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 03:39, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) It could use a bit more organization and some fleshing out in a lot of sections, but the pictures used are very good and the foundation for a very well done article has already been laid.
 * 4) Surprisingly good for a first article, well-written too. Could use a bit of work in some areas, but otherwise worthy of nomination. --Brodie-001
 * 5) As per above.  Joshua  (Talk)  (Contribs) 19:29, May 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) As per above. --Fear my laser eyes! (talk) 00:20, June 2, 2013 (UTC)

June 2013 — Jonathan-117 (Revoked)

 * Writer —

 * Date of Creation — September 23rd, 2012
 * Date of Nomination — April 19th, 2013
 * Date joined — September 23rd, 2012
 * Description — Some of you may be know DC Ambrose as "that newbie who won an annual award three months into joining Halo Fanon". If that doesn't catch your attention, take a look at this article. The amount of detail and quality placed into this Master Chief expansion article even makes me envious. It's clear that Ambrose doesn't intend to mess around while he's here, and I believe this article in particular is deserving of recognition.


 * 1) This article is probably one of the few canon expansion articles that has absolutely obliterated my mind. The amount of detail is groundbreaking and extremely well-organized. Without even knowing him, I've already got a plethora of respect for the guy. This article? A shining example of what can be done with brains and a keyboard.
 * 2) As per nomination.
 * 3) Definitely not what I was expecting for a "117 expansion article." To echo Stel, it was rather mind-blowing. There's room for improvement, but the sheer amount of information and storytelling involved here warrants recognition.
 * 4) As per nomination. --I'm hungry, can I have food? (talk) 19:44, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) I've got a few qualms with the article, but they're mainly just small details, while on the whole it's a dang impressive article. Keep it up, DC. That Damn Sniper 08:33, May 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) As per previous commentary. Auguststorm1945  (Talk ) 19:29, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

 * Nominator —
 * Date of Creation — January 11th, 2013
 * Date of Nomination — April 8th, 2013
 * Date joined — January 11th, 2013
 * Description — An in-the-works story that's already proving to be very interesting and has a number of relevant subpages that also show great promise.
 * 1) As per nomination.
 * 2) This'd be a work that really is deserving of more reads, and therefore, deserves promotion by FotM. That Damn Sniper 04:45, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) As per the above.
 * 4) While the organization leaves something to be desired, the overall worldbuilding is something I find to be quite enjoyable. --Do not insult me. 06:58, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) A well-written piece of work that occasionally flickers with brilliance; highly original with its own lore to accompany the tale. A new talent has emerged, indeed, all the writers within the nomination pool are the strongest newcomers the site has had for a while. The future looks strong.

 * 7) I've read a bit of the stories and Lore here, and I must say, it's very interesting, to say the least.--I'm hungry, can I have food? (talk) 01:34, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
