KHWiki:Votes for featured articles

Featured articles, for the time being, are currently nominated and voted on by staff members. However, if you would like to assist us in improving nominated or discussed articles, any editor is certainly welcome give us a hand in our wiki's continuing improvement. Thanks!

So far, we have:

 * 5 articles focusing on gameplay elements (Sleight, Master Form, Treasure Chest, Avatar Menu, Aero, and Santa Form).
 * 2 articles featuring a Nobody enemy (Berserker and Dragoon).
 * 3 articles featuring mini-games (Puzzle, Gummi Ship, and Titan Cup).
 * 2 articles featuring a Disney-based character (White Rabbit, Jiminy Cricket, and Maleficent).
 * 3 articles featuring a Final Fantasy-based character (Leon, Moogle, and Gullwings).
 * 2 articles featuring a weapon (Oathkeeper and Ultima Weapon).
 * 1 article on a main game in the series (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep)
 * 3 miscellaneous articles (Kingdom Hearts, Another side, Another story..., and Removed content in the Kingdom Hearts series).
 * 1 article on Kingdom Hearts series merchandise (Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game)
 * 1 article featuring a Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days mission (Mission 93: Believe)
 * 1 article featuring a Kingdom Hearts Olympus Coliseum cup (Titan Cup)
 * 1 article featuring an in-game Story event (Battle of the 1000 Heartless)
 * 1 article featuring a song or collection of music (Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle)

The rules for user nomination are as follows:
 * After a primary category of article has an article chosen to be the Featured Article, any other articles within this category cannot be nominated again for two months.
 * To accurately select an article that editors can review for detail to the very last word, phrasing, and format, all voting users must have 200 edits in the mainspace.
 * Articles can never be renominated after being chosen.
 * In the event of a tie, the former nominated article shall be featured first, and the latter nominated article shall be featured the following month. All voting restrictions for that month will roll over to the following month.
 * On the final day of the month, a staff member will close the voting, and voting for the next month shall begin.
 * Please provide reasoning as to why you think an article is fit to be featured--remember, by featuring an article, you are presenting an article that represents the best work of its category. Whatever is nominated should be a model article for others that are similar to it.
 * Also try to provide variety in your nomination--our goal is to balance out the "demographic" of articles above, not add more character articles.

Guys, before you nominate an article make sure that article is ready. The point of Featured Articles is to show articles that are amazing, well written, complete, graphic, and the like. This isn't a place were you nominate any article and say "I want this one because I like it!" or "This article is cool because it has my favorite word in it!" Quality will prevail every time; a worthy article will be choosen every month. Just because five users on this end agree on one article, doesn't necessarily mean that article will become the Featured Article. 

That said, Space Paranoids was a finished article, but not 100% ready. There were minor grammar errors, some poorly written sentences, pieces of the story left out, and even misinformation. You can't just blindly nominate articles before looking at them. If you aren't sure of an article's status ask someone- be it on here, a user talk page, or even the respective article's talk page. And, say you want to nominate an article that isn't complete: you can do so, just be sure to put some work in it if you seriously want it to get other votes. So, just pay more attention and all that.

Anyways, I've made a couple of edits on the Space Paranoids page, while I wouldn't say the edits make it Featured Article worthy, I was able to help the flow of the section a bit better, as well as removing the previously listed problems. I am content with Space Paranoids, and can handle it being June's Featured Article.-- Xion 4  ever  16:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * For the record, I did do a quick overview of the article before voting - in fact, I always make sure to do a quick scan of a nominated article, to be sure it has no stubs or notices on top. That being said, at the time of this voting I was quite busy, and didn't really have the time to do an actual read of the article. I apologize, as the FA has kind of become my unofficial responsibility as of late, and I promise I will be more careful going forward. In the mean time, thanks yet again for your help, Xion. 17:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Gullwings looks fine to me. That, and I'm a sucker for their pitiful, yet amusing quotes. xD Other thoughts?-- Xion 4  ever  20:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I donut mind the Gullwings. 06:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I personally cannot stand the Gullwings, but that has little to do with whether the article is up to snuff. Sounds like a good Featured Article. 20:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
 * While I could easily go all Grammar Nazi on it, this is the perfect example of a quality article! - Terra Master Symbol.png Eternal   Nothingness   XIII  Terra Master Symbol.png 20:53, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'm gonna write up the summary. 19:37, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
I'd have to agree with Xion, MUSIC! Either that or the KHBBS/Days/Re:coded soundtrack. 06:01, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Alrighty then. So, everyone is in agreeance? Field and Battle sounds good for April? So far I see at least two in agreeance [myself and Erry], and maybe Light Roxas? Since they made the summary and all...-- Xion 4  ever  22:07, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

How about Vanitas Renmants' theme, Enter the Void?

 * Can you give us a more clear response, Uxie? Are you voting for Tron, or nominating Port Royal? man editing on a 3DS is hard... 18:38, 1 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I'll save Port Royal for later. I'm picking Tron. Let's hope he gets it this time, since he is one of only two Disney characters to be both an ally and an enemy of Sora (with the other being Iago). See below. UxieLover1994 04:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Maleficent. Tron's "Other appearances" needs a citation. UNACCEPTABLE. 04:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm still rooting for. 04:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Might as well let her win this round. I'll just hold on to my votes for now. *Changes vote to Maleficent* I'll hold onto my nominations for after KH3D's release. Sorry if I sound rude; it's this stuped hot weather that's driving me crazy! UxieLover1994 04:45, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, Maleficent is surely the better, more expansive article of the two. It makes since to choose her, since we really can't be certain Rinzler will appear in the game, or whether he is Tron. 16:01, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Maybe we could go with one of these guys:
 * Ventus
 * Realm of Darkness
 * Marluxia

Ineligible Categories: Gameplay Elements, Heartless


 * Sounds great. 02:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I nominoot Cinderella and Maleficent. 03:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about other staff members, but I don't necessarily see a problem with you guys posting your opinions on this. This is just a vote for proposed featured articles, afterall. A vote, not an ultimate, binding decision. Besides, staff members are in charge of actually choosing the featured article and making the changes (main page, archives, etc.). Everyone who votes on this matter hopefully works on the Wiki to create such noteworthy [featured] articles. If there's a specific article that makes you say "Wow, this is really good!" then you should have the right to propose it for featured articles. Simply put, you helped make awesome articles, you deserve to voice your opinion on which ones should be featured. Whether it actually becomes a featured article is moot, though.

That being said, I say Maleficent or Tron, though I line more with Maleficent. Tron's article is good, and I'm always a sucker for Sci-Fi movies, but Maleficent...just look at the article! The page is well written, organized, and is full of information. Oh, and did I mention it's a dragon? Leave your identity disk at home, Tron, this dragon will use it as a toothpick. Or maybe as a shield against magical swords?-- Xion 4  ever  15:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but the prize goes to the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless. The only way for your vote to get it is that everyone else voted. Besides, you'll be immediently de-rezzed if you don't have your Identity Disk with you. That's a rule. ;) UxieLover1994 16:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
