1983: Doomsday
I think 1983: Doomsday deserves to be a featured alternate history on this wiki for the following reasons:


 * Its generally well written with editors making sure to check for grammar and spelling.
 * There are a large number of articles covering this TL. Some cover the various nation-states, sports, politics, people, etc.  (See Category:1983: Doomsday)
 * The POD is based on an actual WWIII close call and editors have attempted to keep subsequent events as plausible as possible.
 * Editors have worked hard to keep nationalism from turning certain articles into wankfests.
 * Collaboration among the editors has been generally peaceful. There have been no edit wars and many editors have worked together in creating articles.
 * 1983: Doomsday acts as the portal page to the TL.
 * Almost all the articles are broken down into sections and sub-sections for easy reading.
 * 1983: Doomsday provides a list of external sources and a number of articles have their own links to external sites.
 * ,, and Templates are used in the TL.

Besides these facts 1983: Doomsday is currently the most visited site on the wiki and has over a dozen editors who work in some fashion on the TL on a regular basis. I think the fact that the TL has not been featured on the main page before is a real shame. Mitro 14:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Supporters
 * Agreed. One of the jewels of this wiki. --Louisiannan 15:28, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Absolutely agreed. If this one doesn't pass the test no one will. --Karsten&#160;vK (talk) 15:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Can I do anything but agree?? Xi&#39;Reney 10:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Objectors

But nonetheless I think if there is one TL around here that fulfills all defined criteria and deserves to finally become featured than it is 1983: Doomsday. Xi&#39;Reney 10:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Discussion
 * Though I got one rational remark... If DD is featured (for too long at least)I fear a bit that some of the less often visited TL#s and their respective authors/contribs feel a bit underrepresented or pushed aside given the fact DD would then be mentioned on the start page, in all widget links: "TOP-Content", Most Popular, Timelines etc...
