Bomb
Not so long ago, this article was an embarrassment to Zelda Wiki. It was nothing but an unorganized mess. Axiomist asked me one day if I could improve it, so I've worked hard to take what I know about bombs, and what others knew that I did not, and I built this article up to meet the standards for a featured article. It is informative, to the point, has appropriate images, and has tons of references. I took it pretty seriously. I believe that this article, along with any others about themes and subjects that have endured throughout the Zelda series, is very important to the Wiki, and it would be nice to see others in the shape it's in now. I've had plenty of help putting it together, so it's mostly rock solid. The enemy lists at the bottom of the page are a little arrangement I came up with and Axiomist organized to be tidier. Lists like these will show up on other item pages, so consider this a ground-breaker. Noble Wrot 20:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) The bomb article seems to have ignited a ZW reorganizing revolution, finally the obvious format for dividing articles is being thrown out for a more aesthetically pleasing layout. This has gone from one of the ugliest sloppiest content dumps to a well structured page-suitable to be the mold for many other rashly grouped subjects.  23:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm all for it. The page looks nice, and has a good amount of images. However, some parts of it look a little bit messy, but I'm not sure that can be changed. I'll try to add some info from the Tingle games to it and make it complete. Again, great page! 06:28, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) For a phoenix-like story, this article is not too shabby. This is a complete insight into one of the cooler Zelda weapons and as the role model of the enemy list for future similar articles, this page gets my vote. 07:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I like it. It's well written, well organized, has a nice gallery and a lot of good references. Definitely feature worthy. 06:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Excellent article that details every kind of bomb that has appeared in every Zelda game to date along with well-placed pictures and references to top it all off. Dany36 18:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) It's well done. I think we've really cleaned it up and made it into a functioning article. It has my vote! And Dany, your argument looks a LOT like a supporting one... 20:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Great article, information is all correct, and it even inspired my topic for my next article at ZeldaInformer. Needless to say, a great piece of work. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 07:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I never knew there could be so much concise information about Bombs in one place. This article is "the bomb". =P --Xizor 06:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) At first I was thinking no when this was first proposed. It was missing information and some information was downright false, particularly about the Tingle Bomb. Now though everything seems to be in order and a few bumps were smoothed over. Still room for improvement of course, but I'm comfortable supporting it now. 15:38, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Good article. "Someone has set us up the bomb!!!" -  S.B.44    [T] |undefined 01:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I don't know. I think it could use some sections on the games, and not just the kinds of bombs. I once tried to do that for the article, but then I lost everything and didn't bothered to try it again. Though I do suppose it's been improved a bit, I think it's needs more.

 * Vote negated due to opposition guidelines. This would make sense as a Neutral Comment. --Xizor 06:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Sage
With the work of the Zelda Wiki community, this article has become a well written, and informative page. Quite an accomplishment to everyone who contributed. 04:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) It seems to me to be rather well organized. And it has a very appealing overall layout. And it certainly fits the other criteria. 23:37, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I would vote for this one because it goes more in depth in Sages than Rauru's page does. --Skermefaten 23:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Skermefaten
 * 3) Very good article, articulate, and an excellent example of what subject directories could be with the links to the main article and well written summaries on each topic. All images are relevant, clear and useful. And a solid mix of references to boot. 03:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Very organized, and quite easily read. It flows well, and the pictures couldn't be placed onscreen any better or more relevantly. →Kochjr 21:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Well written and organized, it really delves into all of the Sages and it more than qualifies for featured status.--Kresh64 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) I think it was very nice and showed more info.--Link6767 20:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) I think this was a good article, written well and good info. A very good article. Well written. 11:48 May 8, 2009
 * 8) I think sages are a pretty cool guy. Eh seals Ganon and doesn't afraid of anything. -  S.B.44    [T] |undefined 02:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) I think that it is well written, along with a lot of great information. Nice job. User: Psychoboo13
 * 10) I like it. Has a lot of good information and images.  16:27, 9 May 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) I really can't give this my approval. What is there is well written, but there are, as has been noted in the neutral comments, some clearly missing aspects to it. While what we have is really good, it's not the full and complete picture. I simply can't ignore that and be neutral, or support it. The article is not complete, and thus I gotta say no. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 07:08, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I've spotted what I consider to be quite a large omission in this article; there's barely any mention of Princess Zelda's role as the crucial Seventh Sage (or Maiden) in ALttP, OoT and FSA. I'd suggest that this needs to be rectified, or at least discussed here, before this becomes Featured. 19:49, 4 May 2009 (UT
 * The current content is great - however it is lacking as Adam mentions. It is up to featured standard but needs more I feel. I feel there needs to be more pictures; namely Fado, Medli, Makar and Laruto, with some more details on them. Furthermore, an example of this lacking is in the Twilight Princess section, which no where mentions them residing in the Arbiter's Ground's Mirror Chamber. Adam is right that it needs more 'Zelda' and may be worth covering the Sage-Oocca relationship potential, under theory of course.There is also lots of blank space. 07:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with Adam and Mel, the current content and organization is great, but perhaps a bit more information on Zelda's role would definitely sway me to vote for the page. Link87 22:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

 * The article needs some more references and quotes from the Japanese versions of the games to highlight version discrepancies between the sages' roles. First, they were not Princess Zelda's tutors in the Japanese version of TP.Ganondorfdude11 07:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC) - Voted negated as it is not a valid opposition - it's more neutral. Just suggests more things to add to the article, of which, all the mentioned has been added. 09:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
