Zelda Wiki.org:Featured Article Nomination

From Zelda Wiki.org

Jump to: navigation, search

Here, users can nominate and vote for ZW.org's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. In addition, it is particularly fluid in its language style and explanation of its subject. Featured articles should:

  • Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
  • Be lengthy, yet detailed.
  • Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
  • Cite sources, and cite them properly.
  • Be properly categorized.
  • Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
  • Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
  • NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

An article needs TEN VOTES in its favor in order to be marked as featured. If it should receive three valid votes in opposition, it will be marked as a failed nomination.

Rules:

  1. Please nominate articles below this passage in a new subtopic, with a link to the article's title as the subtopic's name.
  2. You may make a maximum of one supporting vote per calendar month.
  3. You may make a single vote opposing any nominated article (with no monthly restrictions). These should be reasoned oppositions based upon the criteria detailed above.
  4. You may not vote for any article which you have nominated, or for which you have already voted previously.
  5. Votes (in support or opposition) should be added in order beneath the respective relevant header (either {{support}} or {{oppose}}), with # at the beginning of the line.
  6. ALL votes, nominations and oppositions MUST be signed using --~~~~. If you do not sign your opinion or second, your vote WILL NOT be counted!

Currently Nominated

The Golden Goddesses

An important article explaining an important part of all Zelda Games. UPDATE: Nayru's Statue now included.—Seablue 12:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

  1. Now this is an interesting nomination! I'd almost forgotten about this one, and it does tick a lot of boxes. Most of the content is down to one particularly dedicated editor, who did a very nice job - I'd say this ticks all the right boxes :) —Ã₫åm [ talk ] 18:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
  2. First, let me tell you that I was molgeratwinmold99 but I forgot my password :P But anyway, even if they're mentioned or not, Naryu, Din, and Farore are worth a featured article. Molgeratwinmold55 13:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  3. I think it's a very good article; it deserves to be featured! --Emeryn 23:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
  4. Could have a pic of Nayru's statue, but a good article anyway --Bolter1
  5. It's definitely a good article, and not only does it show off the triangle of the goddesses, but also all of the triangles in the game, and how they're linked together to each other. --Sk8torchic 12:21, 5 August 2008
  6. The article is full of information of great quality, great pictures. It is absolutely worth the Featured status. --Mariofan9 18:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
  7. i love the Golden Goddesses!CoreyPotter 17:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Opposition

  1. Not until a picture for Nayru is included. --Felicia's Champion, 20:45, 15 July 2008 (EST)
    • Problem resolved, and vote withdrawn by Felicia's Champion.[1] —Ando (talk) 01:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
  2. I like this article a lot but it's divided too much and it's kind of messed up. --Gluemann267
  3. Half the images in this article are not cited properly. Articles that don't have legitimate images are not worthy of featured status. Mases 20:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Veran

A little known boss among the majority of Zelda players here. Likely three or four of us have actually fought her. Her article is in much better shape than Onox's article. It fits the criteria. --Felicia's Champion 05:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

  1. You've been working on this for a long time, Yuvorias, and your efforts have payed off. Very nice article. —Seablue 12:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
  2. A very good article, detailed, lengthy and well catergorized. A boss from one of the lesser known (but still very fun) games. An excellent choice for a featured article.Poe 23:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
  3. I remember having to beat Veran, and I agree that she is a little known but still important villain. I think being a featured article will make more aware of her.Onen 21:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  4. A lesser known villain, but a very cool one, and a nice article to boot! One of my favorite final boss battles. --Majora'sMoonwalk 17:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
  5. One the best bosses in the zelda series, i think it was one of the best there could be for an article to feature.--Onox13 20:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Opposition

Darknut

This is a very detailed article. It also happens to be one of our most-viewed articles on the wiki. The article also has many references. That is not an easy thing to do with such a common enemy. It is well-organized. There are several images of good quality throughout the page. It is a great article. Time to make it featured.—Matt (T C F S) 07:03, July 22, 2008 (UTC)

  1. i personally support this. it is a very nice article, not too long, and not too many references. --Zoraluigi
  2. And my August vote goes to...Darknut! It's a beautifully written article, very descriptive, has a fair amount of references and looks like something that belongs in that FA spot. On a personal note however, it'd be nice to have my rewrite of the "Legend of Zelda" part featured ;) —Seablue 22:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  3. I like this nomination because I have already nominated the Darknut picture so it will fit well to the Main Page. --Draonjioel
  4. Say what you want but I LOVE Darknut battles and I'm surprised it hasn't been featured yet. I love the descriptions.ZeldaGirl96 18:32, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  5. Yeah, I've always liked this one, and with the recent expansions of the sections for the earlier games, and merging with other Darknut articles, it's in great shape to be featured. —Ã₫åm [ talk ] 20:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  6. One of the most formidable enemies eveeeeer! deserves a feature! Harryhas5 16:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
  7. I'll support this article this time around. The Darknut is usually the most formidable non-boss enemy in the series. The ercent edits make it a much better article than it was when it was last nominated.--Rdnckj258 17:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
  8. This is the article that has got most of the votes, so i guess i´m in too... Darknuts are cool anyway.#Olle93 23:48 ,August 11, 2008
  9. Totally! The article is awesome, has a ton of pictures, and are one of the few enemies that actually matches Link's abilities! Yoshimon 01:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
