I am going to nominate my Roger Federer page.
I've been reluctant to nominate any of my pages as I regard them all as works-in-progress so far. But this is in pretty good shape, and I think it's a great day to celebrate Roger!
I claimed the page, and the main things I've done to it are...
- Rewrote the Guide Note from scratch
- Updated, added to (and subtracted from!) the Fast Facts
- Most of the content on recent Federer history was written by me
- Hand picked some choice links for the Top 7
- Featured Video - new today... to celebrate his record 15 grand slams
- Featured Photo - from the French Open
- Added useful sections like news and twitter feeds
- Got rid of some old junk
PS I should mention that as it's a newsworthy subject, sometimes Mahalo guides have updated the page as well. Where their input is good usually I leave it in, though generally I edit it as well.

http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-remove-a-basketball-hoop-from-the-ground
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31U0AlHE-kL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
This is a page I built from scratch after dealing with the question in real life. I needed to remove a basketball hoop from the ground and even after a lot of internet searching, I could not find out who to call to get the job done.
Thankfully, after asking the question here on Mahalo, I got some good answers and I was able to get the hoop removed from the ground.
Since there was not a lot of information on the topic out there, I decided to write up an original page about how to do it yourself and who you can call to do the job for you.

I'm still new here, so I'm learning, and even in topics I know a lot about, I can see how it can be overwhelming at first, to manage a topic page that goes into great depth. Eventually I will work up to it and get more comfortable...
Until then, I'd like to nominate my Jack Johnson page because I'm pretty happy with how it's come together so far, considering I'm a newbie.
I did not create the page from scratch, but my goal was to organize it in such a way that it's informative but also appealing to the eye.
When you first visit the page, you can naturally find info and facts about him on the right, but the amazon cd's featured in the main section bring life to the page, and I think excitement to the topic... if you're a Jack Johnson fan.
I'd love a little more critique if you don't mind as well... this is fun!

http://www.mahalo.com/cash-for-clunkers
In the early part of June, I claimed the page, which had five contributors before me. I didn't think much about the page until the money started to roll in a week or so ago. Then I got to work. Primarily, I cleaned up the grammar, to make it easier to read, and updated the links and the information in Fast Facts, etc. I've added as many sponsored links as the page will allow.
I regularly check the related questions on Mahalo to see what people are asking about, and add pertinent information to the page. I also check the Message Board to see if there are suggestions or pieces of information that I can use.
While I've made a lot of progress, I definitely would appreciate any suggestions that can help to increase the revenue.
I also have a link to my related Rebates page(http://www.mahalo.com/rebates), where I include related Cash-for-Clunkers news and information.
Mahalo, where quality is contagious.
Respectfully,
Shin

Anyway, it was hard to find fault, but alas right at the bottom I did, the mhlo.me urls are Mahalo shorturls - if you click on them, they will open the full url of the cite you are referencing. That full url should be the one used in your citations.

I'd ad some links to Places to Stay and Places to Eat around the Kangamangus Highway, as well as the camping and Hiking links you have-- there's lots of great info!
And as we get closer to peak season, I would have the top section be devoted to the peak dates for foliage along the Kangamangus.

This is a great start and I think by Episode X this might be a winner, until then I think you should spend time on figuring out how this page can be a hub for the democracy movement, there are ongoing struggles for democracy around the world and I think this might a unique opportunity to highlight current event.
Perhaps a News section? and a paragraph in the guide note with the latest buzz. Make note of the Blue Section of this helpful image.

You may wish to explore the definition of republic, and the reasons why our founders created two parties called the Democratic Republicans and the Federalist (Republicans).

very interesting topic, you seem to know your stuff, I just wonder if your page might have more success if it was called "How to Remove a Basketball Hoop"
Then you could include "from the ground" as well as "from the garage" and anywhere else basketball hoops need to be removed from? Also I think those researching the topic would only go as far as to writing "How to remove a basketball hoop" no matter where they are removing it from?
Let me know what you think.

@jeffhoard Thanks for the suggestions. I'm ok with the title staying like it is. People should find it even if they only type in the beginning part. I think getting it out of the ground is the most common situation when it comes to these things.
@danny Hehe, I ended up finding a bunch of those videos too when I was searching. So there are a lot of videos telling you how NOT to do it, but none telling you how TO do it hehe.

Otherwise, feel free to play around with the toolbar and add more sections.
