Should this article be improved to the standards of its sequels?

Hey everybody, I was looking at the Halo articles and noticed that CE has not reached GA status, unlike 2 and 3, which are featured articles. I am suggesting that this article either be improved, promoted, or both. Thanks! Drdr150 (talk) 20:58, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article was originally a featured article and demoted. I've been working on improving it, but there's still a lot of newer, better sources that could be used, and content that should be rewritten. If you have specific comments or can assist, that would of course be great. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 16:43, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
