Criteria

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 and have a neutral point of view
  3. ...be factual and not incorporate theory presented as fact
  4. ...be properly sourced if controversial information is entered into it
  5. ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. cleanup, expand, etc.)
  6. ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
  7. ...have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
  8. ...have a complete, detailed biography if it is a character article
  9. ...not be the subject of any ongoing edit wars

See here for a list of current featured articles on Zeldapedia. For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia's treatise on featured articles.

How to nominate an article

  1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Also, add the nomination template to the top of the article you nominate.
  2. Certain users may object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they must then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources). If no reason is supplied, their vote will not be counted until they do this.
  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.

How to vote

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes. Edit and fix these if you have time.
  2. 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.)
  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".
Eventually, the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the main page as featured, marked with the
This is a featured article
template and removed from the list of nominations.

Featured article nominations

Wizzrobe

Same case as the Darknut article; detailed on each appearance in-game, with plenty, and I mean plenty of images. What do you guys think? —Baltro [ talk · edits ] 18:07, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Support

  1. I like it. Good choice.-- C2 / CC 19:03, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
  2. I looked it over and couldn't find anything to object to. McJEFF (talk) 06:40, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
  3. It's good. Only problem is the images...it was seriously better before. Sprites in gallery = stretched sprites = ugly. --AuronKaizer! 07:01, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
  4. I never realized how super uber awesome looking the wizzrobes from AoL were. Dialask would've appreciated this. --Zelda311 Golden Fierce Deity 18:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC) 17:26, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
  5. The yellow ones are pretty anoying in Wind Waker. That's why it hasmy vote.

super uber awesome? They looke identical to the Ku Klux Klan Oni Dark Link 17:31, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah super uber awesome. I do not think they look like the KKK, you racist little boy. Nah I kid. --Zelda311 Golden Fierce Deity 18:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC) 05:40, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
I take that back. They do look like they are from the KKK.--Z31T)6311 06:33, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

South of the Village

Now that's one freakin' good article.—Triforce 14 11:55, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Support

  1. Its a pretty good article. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:43, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
  2. It's a good article, yes it's minor in the series, but it's still high quality.-- C2 / CC 22:46, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
  3. Ride the King's Highway, baby. --AuronKaizer! 01:17, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Objection

  1. good yes, complete yes but I just don’t think we should have it as a featured article in comparison to some of the others we have. Oni Dark Link 18:45, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
  2. I don't see how this is well-written, in all honesty. All major-minor article arguments aside, there are plenty of other articles written the same, that look the same. —Baltro [ talk · edits ] 21:51, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Comments

I honestly don't know what to think about this one...on the one hand, it was clearly written well. But I just don't really see it as FA material, if you know what I mean. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 18:53, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't really see why it isn't featured article material?—Triforce 14 22:40, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
He's saying because its such a minor thing in the series. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:43, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
There's no rule though saying featured articles have to be important parts of the series. I thought this was based purely off quality?—Triforce 14 22:48, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
Yeah But a lot of people prefer to see major articles I'm sure. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:55, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
I nominate major ones, but I'm not against these smaller, well written ones.-- C2 / CC 22:57, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
No, it's not just that it's minor...I don't know, I just don't see it. I can't really describe what I'm feeling here. I won't oppose though. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 22:57, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

bigger ones do look better on the main page, that should also be a factor since featured articles are the examples of the site Oni Dark Link 22:59, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

I think your oppose is a bit unfounded in it's reasoning. Good article=why not?....to me at least.-- C2 / CC 01:23, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Hes doesn't know what that means. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 01:26, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Umm... how 'bout "I think the reason for your oppose, isn't very good." That's Layman's terms too.-- C2 / CC 01:31, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
He usually uses the question everything tactic. And I was obviously being sarcastic. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 01:34, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Hah, perhaps it wasn't that obvious. --AuronKaizer! 01:50, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Unless you were being sarcastic there....-- C2 / CC 01:52, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Who can tell these days? --AuronKaizer! 01:54, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
Someone who's sarcastic, and doesn't even relize it.-- C2 / CC 01:56, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Sarcasm can be confusing with out hearin the tone of voices (or am i just being sarcastic?). Oni Dark Link 20:26, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

@Baltro:That's because we try to keep all articles similar. We're supposed to be uniform, its better than... well... Zelda Wiki.-- C2 / CC 22:31, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

I think his point is that there are plenty of other articles that are of the same quality and look more or less the same, i.e. why was this one singled out of all things? Not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with this, but I think that's what he meant. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 22:43, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
I see that now, wished he had just said that they had similar quality but hey, I can understand his point of view now.-- C2 / CC 22:45, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Well in that can also argue that any article we feature has other articles just as good as it and shouldn't be featured... I'm really kind of sorry I even suggested this, and it's not that I'm just defending what I put up, I just wish you would vote on the article rather than everything else unrelated to it. Even opposing it just because you don't like it is better.—Triforce 14 01:36, October 9, 2009 (UTC) I just don't think its long enough but other then that know objections.--Ironknuckle1 (talk) 20:16, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
