To If there is a tie between two or more articles the article with the least oppositions wins. For example, two articles tie with seven votes. One article has two oppositions and the other has none.

-I love this page. From the adorable picture, to the unintentional funny that Hasbro apparently lost the copyright to the name “Tak.” I’d like to see more pages like this. Stuff made by people who don’t think they’re doing the most important thing ever, but also doing this because they genuinely enjoy it. But mostly because I think that out of the three, this author is the only one who could actually use the encouragement. It’s not a featured article now, but one day it could be.

-#It’s a neat page, and I think the author did a really good job, but I really don’t see how it can currently be nominated for a featured article. I find it slightly confusing, it says he’s neutral, but that he sides with the Autobots, and then makes Autobots… and fights the Decepticons…. It links to several articles which do not meet the style guidelines, seeing as article titles must be singular, not plural. I’m not sure it meets requirement 2, as the overall tone is pretty biased. It goes on and on about how fantastic he is, while barely mentioning anything about when he essentially turned evil. This glosses over character flaws in favor of one perception of the character. I’m positive it doesn’t meet requirement 10, as there are no characteristics on his alt mode, save for a link to a page that has nothing on it.
-Personally, I think we should scrap this whole feature article nomination and voting thing, until we have an actual consensus on a functional style guide. [[User:Sarrc|Sarrc]] 16:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
