Forum:Nominations for featured articles

I have seen a few conversations around the place about nominating for feature articles but so far nothing to serious i think we need a voting system and page like on the star wars wiki or even the stargate wiki so we can deside what really qualifys to be a featured article Dark Lord Xander 02:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)


 * There's already one over here. -{Azes13 02:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)}-

I know about the one on the talk page but i was refering to an actual progect page like the other wikis have for the specific task of nominating and showing feature articles as well as guidlines as to what makes up a feature article Dark Lord Xander 02:58, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Some Expamples Here and Here -- Dark Lord Xander 06:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I have created this page see it here: Tardis:Nominations for featured articles--Skittles the hog 15:06, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Also see Template:Featured article star, this places a star at the top of the page indicating it is a current or previous featured article.--Skittles the hog 15:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Isn't that what Category:Previous Featured Articles is for? --Tangerineduel 15:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah but not many people (including myself) always checks the categories. Its just a convinience--Skittles the hog 18:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Great work i think we also need a template for previous feature articles which o longer meat feature article standards Dark Lord Xander 00:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have also added some simple rules for nominating and Voting as well as adding an opposing section so users can have any objections herd Dark Lord Xander 00:30, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * you havent voted though, please vote.--Skittles the hog 08:52, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

At the Moment i am setting up the project page and if no one has any objections i will create a tab system for the project page navigation linking pages for FA's, nomination and manual style ect it may look like a mess but i would ask no one delete it until i ask thanks Dark Lord Xander 08:56, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * also i think the vote should be longer than a week so that a consensus can be reached Dark Lord Xander 08:57, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok I have finished (bar tinkering with colours) although i take no credit for creating the idea i think it looks cool Dark Lord Xander 09:43, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

votes are regular so a conclusion is easy to come too. A week is a good period of time as this wiki has a large comunity. I like the tabs you made Dark Lord.--Skittles the hog 18:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * All i am saying is i don't think we should have new featured articles for the sake of having one every week (looking at past FA's alot of them arn't really that well done) I think we should have New Fa's because they deserved to be featured and are the best that the wiki has to offer therefore i think we need a minimum number of votes of say nine or ten users and anything that gets objected needs to be fixed Dark Lord Xander 01:11, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * From Now on any article going for featured should be chosen through the nominations page also i think we need a page to review past nominations to make sure they are still up to feature standard Dark Lord Xander 06:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I've just been changing the Featured Article near the end of each month based on what might be interesting to see. Like, Sladen this month because there hadn't been an actor as the featured article for a while... and I like Elizabeth Sladen. --Colleyd 19:11, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Woof.

Well That may have been the way of the past but i think from now on only articles that deserve to be featured should and if that means we have the same one for ages then so be it Dark Lord Xander 07:56, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
