| * '''Support''' - This article has come miles from its original incarnation, and is testament that helping with unit wiki articles pays off --[[User:Mirado|Mirado]] 21:49, 31 July 2012 (MDT)
| |
| * '''Strong Support''' - This article is well-written and frequently updated as the character's fiction evolves. It also has a solid number of images in relation to the amount of text and is well-formatted. This is what a character wiki page should look like. --[[User:Locke|Locke]] 21:55, 31 July 2012 (MDT)

| *'''Support''' - This article shows skilled writing prowess and the ability to form a cohesive backstory and developing storyline for a character. --[[User:Kratus|Kratus]] 23:03, 31 July 2012 (CST)

| * '''Weak Support''' - While overall this article is strong, it needs to be polished somewhat mechanically. Certain sections can be tightened, while others expanded upon. That way, you have a great article instead of just a good one. --[[User:Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]], 14:34, 31 July 2012 (PST)

| * '''Support''' - I agree with Ronovi that a few sections could use some tweaking, but overall it's good --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 14:17, 10 August 2012 (MDT)

Revision as of 00:19, 4 September 2012
The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best DJBWiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.
An article must…
- …be well written and detailed
- …be unbiased, non-point of view
- …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
- …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
- …have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
- …have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
- …have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
- …not have been previously featured
For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.
How to nominate:
- First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
- Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
- Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".
How to vote:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
- As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
- Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".
Also remember to add {{Nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
Every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with a Featured icon and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{Featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

Nominated by: Ronovi Tavisaen 16:07, 9 August 2012 (PST)
- Strong Support - This article has everything: a detailed exposition into the Character that is Socorra, an inkling into her beginnings, and a clear development of her past and present pursuits (and successes) in the DB so far. And it has pictures. Everyone loves pictures. I wholeheartedly advocate this article as a featured article. --Wuntila 19:01, 9 August 2012 (MDT)
- Strong Support - I fully agree with Wun. Socks is a very capable writer, and that shows in her wiki article, as I find no real errors. The article contains all of the elements of a featured article, and I think beyond the checklist of having pictures, links, history, personality, and so on, this article does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of Socorra as a character. I hope that this article is featured, and soon. --Legz 22:27, 9 August 2012 (MDT)
- Support - A good, straight-forward article --Halcyon 14:17, 10 August 2012 (MDT)
