Revision as of 23:50, 31 May 2009
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 the {{featured}} template 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.
Featured article nominations
List an article and leave your signature for the nomination(s) - additional comments beyond support or object (unless you have concrete reasons as to why you object) are not required and will be deleted.
Nominated by: --Anubis 20:19, 9 November 2008 (MST)
Support - Good article. My only possible objection would be that it seems a little cluttered and in-your-face, but that's a stylistic difference more than anything. Good pictures and detail, no real problems I can identify. ~ Legorii 20:26, 9 November 2008 (MST)
Weak Object - I dunno, something's missing in my opinion. The images could use work along with formatting. Content is good though. ~ Macron 12:33, 11 November 2008 (EST)
Object - One section has "coming soon", which means this article isn't complete. I also think a couple more images are needed in the last half of the article to break up all the text--Halcyon 18:23, 22 November 2008 (MST)
Weak Support I think the article is now complete, but the section "The Final Mark" is a story. Try to refrain from stories (i.e. dialogue and tons of descriptions) and make it more of an informational article. --RevengeX Palpatine 14:18, 24 December 2008 (MST)
Nominated by: -- Alaris 15:03, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
Object There is a grammar error or two in the article summary at the top, that would be displayed on the main page should the article be featured. That's a no-no. The formatting is a little strange around the images, those large spaces are unattractive. My only other objection, then, would be the long list of all of RH's promotions. This is not a dossier, and I don't like when people list things like that on their wikis. Fix these things up and I'll support it. ~ Legz 15:20, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
