Talk:Featured Articles



''For discussion about the Featured Articles process (suggestions, complaints, etc.), please leave comments on the Talk:Featured Articles/Discussion page. What's working? What's not? Talk about it.''

Please use this page to nominate articles for inclusion as a Featured Articles. If you tamper with anyone else's vote, you will be banned!

Pages must be on "Wikiality:Sound Advice for a week before voting.

However, if the writer of the article is a Mrs. Colbert, the Wikiality:Sound Advice step can be skipped.

There were no pages voted for in January, therefore, no page won "Feature of the Month".

Wikinazi was the only "Featured Article" for February. For March, the winners were: Gitmo North and 300.

The April, 2007, winners were Easter, Libertarian, and Hungaria.

We're getting winners earlier and earlier in the month! Keep nominating and voting citizens!

=Rules=

Winning, Losing and Scoring

 * An article will become featured if it gets 5 "Yes" votes.
 * An article will get sent to the loser's bin if it gets 5 "No" votes or has not received a sufficient amount of votes within 7 days of being nominated.
 * "Not Yet" votes do not count for or against the article. They are null votes used to straddle the fence until the article is fixed.
 * You may change your vote by using the tag to encompass your old vote so that we can readily see change.  BE WARNED: Do not change another person's vote or you WILL be banned.
 * Note: A "Yes" vote will not cancel out a "No" and vice versa. If five "No" votes are cast before 5 "Yes" votes then the article will not receive a featured status.

How To Vote

 * Just write "+1" under "Yes", "No", or "Not Yet" followed by 2 of these "-", then 4 of these "~", with no spaces in between.
 * The "+1" notes your choice, and the "--~" leaves your signature.

So, for those of you who still don't get it: "+1 --~ " under your choice. Without the quotes, dummy.

Trouble Voting?

Just a few things I noticed--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 20:55, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It needs some pictures (I posted some on the talk page)
 * There's a red link
 * Not enough Baby Jesus, please see Acts of God
 * Update--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 18:47, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * there still doesn't seem to be enough Stephen
 * I also noticed that there is no definition for "Lion's Market" (at the link it says some Christian group came up with it to describe "God’s control over the economic systems")

Um... no mention of Barney Frank, the great homosexual conspiracy to destroy capitalism, and the all-powerful ACORN which is somehow behind it all? John "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" McCain? At the very least, talk about Nancy Pelosi and how she traitorously hindered the patriotic bailout bill... Bi 10:27, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

BearSharks
nominated by --Sarlaccpit48 10:50am, July 24, 2008

I nominated this article because it is well constructed page and is well written. It is written to make Bearsharks appear to be real creatures describing physical and behavior characteristics as well as different species of Bearsharks. This page also includes original hand drawn depictions of Bearsharks.

Nice article which is nearly there. Great pics and captions, nice layout, good content, nice footnotes. But needs a reference to MC Rove, and more Wikiality tube links. Also the text under "Dealing with Applicants" could benefit from being broken into 2 or 3 paragraphs. --Careax 16:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
