Nominations

Maven Black-Briar

• Nominated by: Starkiller131

Since there hasn't been a good article nomination in a while I thought I would nominate one myself. With a click reading over this article, I believe this article fits all the requirements of a good article (GA). Any suggestion for improvement, or comments and concerns are suggested.

Elder Scrolls

• Nominated by: The Crusader of Truth

The Elder Scrolls page looks to be fitting all of the requirements; I've already gone over grammar etc (And in that case would be nice if someone checked after me.) Article meets all the requirements of Featured Article as well, however, I'm quite sure it has to pass through GAN first (Hence why it's here.)

Neutral

•  Neutral – Just needs info from Loremaster's Archive and the Third Era section needs expansion The Rim of the Sky ^(talk) 23:31, June 15, 2017 (UTC)

Akaviri Invasions

• Nominated by: The Rim of the Sky

A very well-written and properly sourced article that documents the lore on the Akaviri Invasions, including recent lore from ESO. It very much deserves to be GA.
