Mess[edit]

Can admin clean up this archive? Specifically

  1. It's split between big headers "Previously Featured Pictures" and "Past Nominations". It requies merge
  2. Chronoligical order. From newest to oldest it should be:
    1. Everything from "Kirby Star Allies - Marx fires the Team Attack" to "Kirby: Battle Royale Wallpaper" is good
    2. "Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Promotional Art"
    3. "Kirby's Return to Dream Land Group Art"
    4. "Kirby Air Ride City Trial Scene"
    5. "Kirby & the Amazing Mirror Poster"
    6. "Kirby's Epic Yarn"

Alright it's done. I should suggest though, now you are on the Discord, to try and get our attention there so you don't have to keep bumping talk page topics. --Samwell (talk) 14:04, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Move appropriate nominations from this to occasional archive[edit]

I believe this should be done for easier overview of featured occasional pictures, and that they should retain their status without needing to be re-nominated. I previously recommended this but it didn't catch on. Although you could argue against this because archives should reflect nominations as-is (these were nominated before existence of the nomination page for occasional pictures).

Are we restricting those images to only be seasonal? They were featured as non-seasonal pictures. ---PinkYoshiFan 23:42, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
I agree with Vipz about that Holiday images fit better on the occasional archive.
About PYF's comment saying that they were featured a non-seasonal pictures, that isn't completely true. Seeing the comments of the people that nominated them, they did that because either Halloween or Christmas was approaching. For example, see Samwell's comment about the Halloween 2020 image. And they didn't featured those images as seasonal because, as Vipz said, "they were nominated before the existence of the nomination page for occasional pictures". They were featured as non-seasonal pictures because there wasn't other option.
So, I have some concerns/questions about this:
  • If they are on the normal archive, they will appear any time of the year. But, if they are just on the occasional, wouldn't they appear just in that moment and that's it? If so, I think that those images would be restricted, as PYF said. Though it isn't like if seeing a Halloween picture on February would fit too much anyways, so to me that wouldn't be too bad.
  • If there are various images of one Holiday (like those 3 of Halloween) how it is picked which of them will be displayed? Like, it will be just one? In that case each Halloween image will appear featured every 3 years, which is unfair.
  • If they do are restricted, and/or each Halloween image will appears every 3 years, couldn't those images just be in the two archives at the same time? If they should be on the occasional pictures by being Holiday pictures, but also they are limited by being displayed just on Holidays, being on the two archives would be the best thing of both worlds.
Something that is true tough is that indeed, as you both said, they weren't directly nominated as occasional pictures, and thus moving them directly to the archives wouldn't be so good without making a proper feature nomination first.
In any case, maybe the best option would be just to nominate the three Halloween images (not the Xmas one as that is already on the occasional archive) in WiKirby:Featured Picture Nomination/Occasional as normal, just to stay true to the occasional archive actually being the archive of that page. -Zolerian (talk | contribs) 05:29, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
