I'm nominating this article. It's an interesting, neutral, incredibly sourced and fairly stable article about this famous, highly successful 2006 game. It's currently under good article status, but it has been much improved since, and I think it really deserves featured status after all the hard work we've put in.

It doesn't appear that you have contributed to this article; consequently, I have asked the main contributors to the article, User:Masem and User:ShadowJester07, to provide input here as to whether they feel the article is ready for FAC at this time. Maralia (talk) 21:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it's ready -- it's not that it isn't close, but it needs a lot more than just final FA "spit and polish" to get ready. It's not that I can't do that, but I have a few more things on my plate right now, and I'd rather not waste the time for FA reviewers until the article's in better shape for an FA review. --MASEM 22:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article has a significantly principle editor who says the article isn't ready, and was nominated by Off! (talk · contribs) who has never edited the article and was inactive on Wiki for a year until today. Per WT:FAC talk page precedent, I'll withdraw the nom. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
