How to nominate:

1. First, nominate an episode 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 episode 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 the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured episode".

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.
   1. 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".

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

I've added some trivia after nominating the article. Alexandersig 22:54, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Blood Feud

I'd like to nominate Blood Feud, it might need more trivia & quotes, but all tabs complete. Don't actually care if featured or not. Dohayecarumbadoh 01:49, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

1. Looks fine. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 05:06, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
2. Not the longest article, but at least it has all its tabs in order unlike so many other episode articles. - ThePlatypus 12:32, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

1. It is a good episode article, but I think the plot could be longer. — ^TheHomer ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 00:43, May 8, 2010 (UTC)
2. Agreed with TheHomer; the plot could be longer. Mythigator 04:23, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Who Shot Mr Burns? (Part Two)

A detailed and colorful article about one of the most legendary episodes of the series, includes notes on hidden clues to find out who shot Mr. Burns. Clearly deserves to be a featured article!! ;) Gonhegon 10:51, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

1. One of my favourite articles, which just happens to be one of the best on this wiki. HUGE article with all the details needed. Yes from me!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   11:27, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
2. Seems good enough to me. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 11:51, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
3. Should definitely be featured. Dohayecarumbadoh 18:07, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
4. Awesome Article

1. Great article in my opinion. Full list of appearances and a massive amount of references and trivia. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 07:00, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
2. I love this episode and this article. Its got a full appearences list which some episodes don't have! Qazwsx1
3. I must say, that episode description nicely put!The Fayster 23:41, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

1. The plot is huge and well written, but it lacks pictures and is poor in extra details such as how it was received by the audience, or production notes. Good and complete tabs, but I still think that there are better options. Still great though! ;) Gonhegon 18:17, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
2. It's a very good article, but the credits section needs massive expansion in my opinion. >D'oh! !Ay Carumba! D'oh! (Talk Page This-Away!) 03:31, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oppose (2)

1. The Credits tab is incomplete and the Quotes tab needs to be expanded. The General tab could definitely use some information about production notes and critical reaction, both of which are certainly of interest in a Sideshow Bob episode. On the flip side, the Appearances and References tabs look great. To sum up, this has the makings of being a great episode article, but as it stands now, it has no business even being nominated to be a featured episode. -- Mythigator 12:19, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
2. Per above. Plus what about them other Flanderers. Kingcjc 15:41, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

If someone could sort out the Credits tab, then that would be great. I'll try and sort it out, eventually.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   06:44, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

• This is on hold until the disputed voice actor is out of the way. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 21:02, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
  • Problem sorted. Nomination is back on. User:Solar Dragon/Signature 15:13, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
• The Walt Warren voice actor mystery is back on. A U.C. added Simon Rouse as the guest voice for Walt Warren, but I can't find any corroboration anywhere. -- Mythigator 13:20, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
  • If need be, I'll with-draw the episode from the nominations. This was nominated for last month anyway, so I dont mind.    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   18:34, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
  • The episode is being re-run on Fox tonight, and I'm going to DVR it and go through the credits with a fine-toothed comb. Maybe that'll shed some light on the voice actor mystery. -- Mythigator 01:24, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Bart the Genius

For the July nominations, I'd like to submit Bart the Genius, as it is an excellent article, and is what all the others should conform to be like. All tabs complete for a great episode!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   18:31, July 11, 2010 (UTC)
