BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...22:00, September 4, 2009 (UTC) We're bringing back the Feature Articles, I see. That's fine, but we need to make sure that what caused us to stop doing them in the first place doesn't happen again, namely everyone picking character articles over and over. Should we do what we're doing on the Featured Media page, nullifying two categories to keep the span of article subjects fresh? I did that as an experiment right after our first big revamp, shortly after we did away with Feature Articles, and it seems to have worked well. Much better than I thought it would, honestly. Also, what kind of standards to we need to put back in place? Again, some articles were chosen for the subject than more for the fact they were well-written...we need to make sure everyone understands what makes feature articles stand out. I'd like to see some suggestions and ideas from you guys to see how we can make this fair and representative of our wiki's continuously improving quality.

LotsoBearLover - Welcome to sunnyside! TALK - You've got a playdate with destiny!" Yeah whats up with the the voters choosing??

Ultima - Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. EDIT CONFLICT: Well, me and Azul had a little chat about this before he went on his wikibreak, and we decided it would be fairer if the admins where to choose the featured article, rotating who does the chosing every month. Also, I thought a featured article was just a well laid out article that follows the manual of style. -22:26, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

Guardian Soul Talk. — Don't I even warrant a hello? It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 22:53, September 4, 2009 (UTC) Yeah, the admins handling the featured articles seems to be the best way to go. Azul left this month's article to me, but Ultima already picked one, so I guess I handle next month. EDIT: Aqua appears to be standing on my head.

LotsoBearLover - Welcome to sunnyside! TALK - You've got a playdate with destiny!" LOL and I am standing on aqua's head and now zexion is standing on me. <.<

KrytenKoro - And when you see me standing there, you'll know you've got a friend with a rock, I mean a big-ass rock. TALK - In my opinion (and this goes whether they are chosen by vote or appointment), featured articles should: Have no spelling or grammar errors Not violate any content policies, like the quote or trivia limits For different topics: Character articles should have plot described chronologically and professionally, and should not have those made up headers World articles should have accurate treasure info, correct area names, and should describe each area in relevant detail Item pages should be in the format - well, basically that I've been putting them in. Enemy or boss pages should not be missing any stats, should have an organized strategy section, and should have a story section if the enemy is a boss or appears in a cutscene Be placed in the category "Category:Featured Articles", making them ineligible for re-featuredness.
