Featured Article Nomination
What a Featured Article is:
  1. An article marked as "Good".
  2. An article with an official (non-conjectural) name (more details on the naming policy page).
  3. An article with an opening abstract of sufficient length, preferably consisting of at least two paragraphs.
  4. An article with proper documentation. (no substantial info is missing)
  5. Sound of format. (no improvement notice templates are present)
  6. Sufficient overall length. (at least 5000 bytes long)
  7. Not a list page, disambiguation page, or subpage.
  8. Properly categorized.
  9. Not an orphaned page. (at least one article links to it)
Voting Regulations
  1. Voting is currently open to all registered users.
  2. All votes must be signed with signatures (type four tildes (~~~~.)) Unsigned votes are automatically negated, regardless of any points made.
  3. An article will become automatically featured if it receives five (5) valid votes to support it.
  4. After two (2) weeks of being nominated, an article will be featured if it does not have more opposition than support. (this means a tie or zero votes will still result in a feature)
  5. An article will fail to become featured if it receives five (5) valid oppositions.
  6. There may be no more than six (6) nominated articles at one time. Do not add any more than this.
  7. The editor who puts the article up for nomination may not vote on it.
  8. Please add all oppositions/supports on a new line beginning with a number/pound/hash sign (#) to automatically create an alphanumeric list.
  9. Staff members reserve the right to negate any votes without notification of the voter if they are found to be in violation of any of these rules or if suspected of trolling.
Nomination Cooldown
Once an article has attained featured status, a total of thirty (30) days must pass before it can be nominated for unfeaturement.

Current Nominations

Sword (July 15, 2020 - July 29, 2020)

Was doing a little cleaning up around the wiki and I noticed that I had managed to make this page Good. Given how much info is on the page though, it ought to be more than just Good, I think. What do you think? --Samwell (talk) 00:28, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Support
  1. I'm not a featured article expert, so you should probably take a look at the article itself, but from what I can tell, it seems like a great detailed article to be featured. MetaDragon (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Copy Ability (July 4, 2020 - July 18, 2020)

This article is organized and really detailed and quite informative about what Copy Ability is. What do yoy all think? Superbound (talk) 17:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Support
Oppose
  1. Normally I would be in favor, and actually I almost nominated this myself a while ago, but then I saw Copy Ability/gallery was incomplete and started working on completing it. In theory the copy ability page shouldn't even be marked as "Good", but I let it be because it was due to just that gallery page. However, I am opposed to having it become a featured article until we complete that. Gigi (talk) 17:47, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Neutral

Off-topic (maybe?) question: is there a reason why lists can't be featured? Superbound (talk) 17:34, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

My primary reasoning for excluding lists was because they do not feature the well-rounded nature of proper articles. It's little more than a collection of bits, rather than a cohesive whole. --Samwell (talk) 05:07, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
