Feature Article policy nominations and voting
Feature Articles are added to the main page on the first day of each given FEATURE ARTICLE TIME, defined as the Monday of each week, the Feature Article will be changed any time on the Monday (defined by GMT - Greenwich Mean Time). The week ends on the Sunday of said week.

Please note any users who alter the Feature Article and who do not follow the nominate and vote policy will have their additions removed from the main page. (Actions following that to be determined)

A user may only vote for one Feature Article each VOTING TIME. (No multiple votes for Feature Article)

There should be no more than 10 Feature Articles nominated in each VOTING TIME (as this would probably result in a hung nomination).

A user may nominate more than one Feature Article in a VOTING TIME, however they may still only vote for one Feature Article.

In the event of a tie in the voting, the Feature Article submitted last in the tie becomes Feature Article for that given FEATURE ARTICLE TIME.

Posting the Feature Article
When posting a Feature Article to the main page a short summary will be created to summarise the Feature Article in order to lead readers to the full article. The previous Feature Article will be added to the 'Previously Featured Article' list on the main page. There should only be 5 or 6 previously featured articles listed here.
