DJBWiki:Featured article

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…

1. …be well written and detailed
2. …be unbiased, non-point of view
3. …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
4. …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
5. …have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
6. …have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
7. …have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
8. …not have been previously featured

How to nominate:

1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
2. 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).
3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
5. 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:

1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
   1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
3. 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.
4. 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.

Sashar Erinos Arconae

Nominated by: Wuntila Zratian Entar

Strong Support: This article is one of the best written character articles in the DBWiki community and offers an indepth and rich history of the character, organization of the character's DB career, and rich images to compliment it. Talos Erinos

Strong Support: I've always thought this is what character articles should strive to be. - Solus Gar 20:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Weak Objection: Far too few images throughout the history portion of the wiki. Adding about six would make it more appealing. Still, very well written. - Archangel 03:31, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Weak Objection: Like Archangel says, but the use of the == is a bit excessive, you could just bold the text instead, which will help out with overall look and feel. Fremoc, Fist of the Brotherhood 14:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
