Revision as of 02:44, 21 April 2011

Welcome to the Featured Articles page. This is where editors of Fire Emblem Wiki nominate pages for featured status on the front page of this wiki. Featured articles should include the following:

  1. Proper American English. That means everything must be written in American English (ex: color and not colour) and have proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
  2. Lengthy and detailed, but not contain repeating information to make it appear longer (aside from templates).
  3. Well organized so each information flows nicely.
  4. Cite sources and cite them properly.
  5. Properly categorized. No category? No nomination.
  6. Contains the most up -to-date information about the article.
  7. No improvement templates. No template should be included on the page that marks it or a section as a stub, nor should any section. As well, no page should have a grammar template on it.
  8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia nor Fire Emblem Wikia.

There are also specific rules to nominating an article which are as follows:

Rules

  1. A minimum of five (5) votes in support of the article are needed for a page to become featured.
  2. You can only vote in approval for any article once every calender month, meaning you cannot vote for the Paladin page and then Marth's page the very same month.
  3. You cannot vote in support for the article you have nominated.
  4. All votes should be placed properly under {{support}} , {{oppose}} , or {{neutralother}} with your vote starting off with #, and explaination on why you think this is a page worthy of being featured, and finally ending with your signature (~~~~). For instance: "# I really like the Ike page. It has a lot of information about the character! ~~~~." Any vote without a proper signature will be moved to the {{retracted}} section of the nominations and you will be unable to vote again. As well, any vote that merely says: "I approve" "I like this page" or anything similar will be retracted too. A perfect example of a vote would be: "I think this page has a lot of helpful information and it is clear enough to assist me on knowing about Cavaliers."

Opposition Guidelines

  1. You can vote against any nomination without any monthly restrictions. That means you can go against the Paladins, Cavaliers, and Marth pages if you wished.
  2. You cannot use an opposition vote simply because you hate the subject (like you hate a certain villian).
  3. Opposition votes should only be used when the article does not meet the requirements above.

If an administrator deems that a particular opposition does not follow these guidelines, it will be negated.

Current Nominations

Branded

Stefan, one of the branded.

Even though it was only worked on by one editor, it is a very detailed article with proper citations and organization in my opinion. It would be a FANTASTIC first featured article! -- Eliwood  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 20:10, 20 April 2011 (MDT)

Support

  1. Good style, good writing, good graphics. Maxite 20:24, 20 April 2011 (MDT)
