Revision as of 17:00, 20 July 2011
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.

- Weak Object - Just a formatting issue... your character history should all be under one main heading, rather than a separate one for each part. Also, you have a lot of headings with only a single paragraph to them... maybe use fewer, broader headings so it's not so broken up --Shadow Taldrya 01:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Weak Support - I have fixed that formatting issue with the headings, but I do a agree a few less headings will really help the flow of the article --Halcyon 14:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Nominated by: Unknown
- Support - Images, texts, links, the whole she-bang. Only point of concern is that the succession box templates need to be re-formatted. --Shadow Taldrya 01:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Object - While the Character History is solid enough, the article itself is missing a lot of the detailed information like personality, physical descriptions and other misc. info that really rounds out a character page. Those sections should be added in --Halcyon 14:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Nominated by: Shadow Taldrya
- Strong Support - I supported this article when it was complete, but due to the wiki crash, it needs to be finished before being featured. -- Ronovi Tavisaen, 13:09, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
- Object - I had also strongly supported this article before the crash, but it still needs work to bring it back to that same quality --Halcyon 14:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Nominated by: Talos Erinos
- Support - It has text, images, and categorization... that works for me :P --Shadow Taldrya 00:57, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Support - No complaints with this one. Looks solid --Halcyon 14:05, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
