Simpsons Wiki:Featured article

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wikisimpsons has to offer.

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, from a neutral point of view
 * 3) ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 4) ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 5) ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
 * 6) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
 * 7) ...have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
 * 9) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
 * 10) ...follow the rules in Project Characters if it is a character article.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 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.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) 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".

Also remember to add   at the top of the article you are nominating.

Frank Grimes
Well-detailed article, and (since I have been here) not featured yet. Jessica98sites 04:49, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) I like it, would be good featured article. >Doh AyeCarumba Doh

Oppose

 * 1) All articles should be written with an in-universe point of view. Frank Grimes is not. A good character article should have all features of Project Characters. Frank Grimes still has a way to go. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 06:15, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

 * Remember, strength of argument beats number of votes. It doesn't fit in with the above policies on a featured article so therefroe it shall not pass and can not be featured. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 06:19, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
