KHWiki:Votes for featured media/2015

Featured Media is a place to show the artwork, images, and sounds that make this wiki an interesting and engaging experience for visitors. It will also encourage wiki members to improve the quality of existing works. The rules and guidelines are a work-in-progress; if you have suggestions, please leave them on the Talk Page.

Nomination Guidelines
So, what makes a bit of media eligible for nomination? Here are the guidelines:


 * The media should represent and support the article or articles it appears in. A full-body shot focusing on one character is better than a blurry screen capture where the character is in the image, but not the focus, for example. Orphan media not linked to an article or non-Kingdom Hearts materials that appears on User pages is not eligible.
 * The media should be appropriately high-quality. Images should be of good resolution with minimal or no artifacting, but not absurdly large. Sound clips should be clear and easy to hear, but not excessively long.
 * The media, like all things on the wiki, should be from official or officially-verified sources. No fan art, no matter how awesome.
 * The media nominated must be hosted in this wiki. Items hosted elsewhere, such as YouTube clips, are ineligible.
 * The media must meet guidelines for fair-use. A thirty-second sample of "Simple and Clean" is fine; the entire song uploaded to the wiki is not.

Nomination Process
You have something that meets the above rules, so now what? Well, on the first day of the month, post a link to your nominated media and sign your nomination with ~ ! Pretty easy, right?

There is one more rule to keep this from becoming one big popularity contest. After the winning media is announced, any media in that category becomes ineligible for nominations for the next two months. For example, the image of an Angel Star was the selected media for October, 2008. That means that for the next two voting cycles in November and December, images from the Heartless Category were ineligible for nomination and would be dismissed if suggested. Likewise, the picture of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness would have also been ineligible, even though he appears in the Character category as well. Images with more than one category will only have one of them "blocked" to make sure there is a fair selection of categories available. There will always be two categories which images cannot be nominated from; they are listed at the top of the nomination block.

The category or categories are also considered "locked-in" from the beginning of the month, so don't bother changing them to get around the rules. Trying to edit media categories to suit your whims will only attract the wrath of staff and admins, and certainly get your nomination privileges revoked.

Voting
Editors have one vote; they must put their vote and signature, ( ~ ) underneath the nominee of their choice. Those who nominated media can have their nomination counted as their vote and do not need to post again; if they want to change, they simply need to sign under another nominee and their vote will be moved.

In the event of ties, we will hold tiebreakers beginning on the 20th of the month.

On the last day of the month, votes will be tallied, and the winner will become the next Featured Media!

Ineligible Categories: World, Artwork
 * Sitar - Demyx's sitar is a symbol of music, and I think the following musical lyrics express the entire month of may for a large part of the community: "School's... OUT! FOR! SUMMER!" Also, we have not had featured media of a weapon in over a year. -- 03:57, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I agree with DTN, and I also think it's a little too early for the BBS craze. (Even though it's been going on since about a month after Days came out). -- 07:22, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Yes... I agree. That's a great picture and all, but we need something besides character captures. That's what we have this month, and that's all anyone votes for. -- 01:25, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Concidering that we haven't had a weapon for featured media in over a year, I think we should have this. Also, we will probably have heaps of BBS media for a while after it is released and it may get boring. Danjam 07:53, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Considering I won last month's featured media, I'm gonna stay out of the race this time. A weapon has been long called for as featured media, and if I get all of my exemptions in school, May is, as DTN put it: "School's.. OUT! FOR! SUMMER!" for me. Anyway, it's got my vote.
 * 5) Easy there, Alice Cooper. :p -- Xion  4  ever  15:06, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Dance Media Dance! (I know, that pun sucked. But Demix is great, and so is the Sitar) 01:29, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I like my sitar, I like my sitar, I play the sitar, sitar, wherever I--*shot* Oh, sorry. Just got a little carried away there. -- Saphy Need something? 15:36, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I like that Sitar. - Lev  L  17:33, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mimic Master - This Unversed makes me remember of Zexion and Book Master a nobody and a heartless that i really like and with BBS theme i thought that this would be perfect for May
 * 1) Because, frankly, voting for a April Fool's joke nomination doesn't sit well with me.

 * 1) Nice! *sings* Why can't we be friends! -- J  F  H   avoc   05:19, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Days was my first Kingdom Hearts game and Roxas, Xion,and Axel are the best trio!Falcon Mrk II 22:02, March 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Both of the images really captured my eyes, but, I'm gonna have to go with this one.
 * 4) as much as i like chain of memories i've got to go with this,why because got it memorized>chain of memories
 * 5) With the summer release of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, this wiki's Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days-themed guise will soon be replaced by one fitting for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. Let's end it with a bang, folks, and do a fitting image from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days while it will fit better into the current theme. -- 23:34, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I'd have to agree with DTN on that one. Plus, I also like the colors.. That, and he pointed the Lady Gaga Laser at me! o.o --Sapharus
 * 7) I can't decide for one side this image show friendship for other side i LOVE CoM well i guess i'm going with this one since the the Days theme is out in may but i feel like betraying CoM
 * 8) THIS -- ファミ  コン  05:02, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) UE approves of this image!!!UnknownEnigma 05:04, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) e ^ (pi i) = -1 KujaRhapsodos 00:41, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Artwork It didn't win during the February nomination, but it's too epic a piece to be left in the cold! I say we revisit the classics! - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII
 * 1) Roxas and Xion? Ack. Do not like so much. Go Sora, Donald, and Goofy!-- Random! to a point!  01:07, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

 * 4) This will be nice friendship theme for april. With the start of spring and all.--No.i 20:56, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) As much as I hate COM's battle system, I still think that sticking together in the midst of the worst of situations is the best way to go, and COM delivered it well. This artwork is only a representation of a great story. And as I turn a year older in April, I want to be reminded of this. 14:47, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Tough call.. However, I'm going with COM; I've recently started playing it again, so why not?-- Xion 4  ever  23:33, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I love Namine, Marluxia, and Axel and well they all first appeared in CoM. So you have my vote. Are sins ever forgiven? 23:52, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * Deep Jungle (Tree House) With the coming of spring in March, this image's green colors and nature-filled style is a perfect choice. Plus, the details on the tree house are excellent to me; very artisitcally done. (We also just had a Sora image in December...) -- 02:35, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
