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:
 * 6 articles featuring Kingdom Hearts exclusive characters (Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Roxas, & Larxene).
 * 2 articles featuring a Heartless enemy (Guard Armor and Shadow).
 * 5 articles featuring a World (Traverse Town, Awakening, 100 Acre Wood, End of the World, and Land of Departure).
 * 4 articles focusing on gameplay elements (Sleight, Master Form, Treasure Chest, and Avatar Menu).
 * 2 articles featuring a Nobody enemy (Berserker and Dragoon).
 * 2 articles featuring mini-games (Puzzle and Gummi Ship).
 * 2 articles featuring a Disney-based character (White Rabbit and Jiminy Cricket).
 * 1 article featuring a Final Fantasy-based character (Leon).
 * 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)

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.

I say KH TCG. WE NEED MORE WORK ON CARD SPACE. So yeah, TCG. -- 00:13, 8 May 2011 (EDT)
 * ...I don't remember deciding that. I remember you mentioning it in the middle of another discussion and assuming it to be discussed. Sure, it's fine to nominate those again, but let's not exclude any other particularly or potentially magnificent articles. -- 21:12, 14 May 2011 (EDT)
 * On that note, I'd like to nominate Moogle. We've only featured one article focusing on a Final Fantasy character, and that series is booming right now, with Final Fantasy IV Complete Collection, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Dissidia Duodecim, and Final Fantasy Fantasy Type-0. However, since none of these are prevalent in the series, I say we just go with a constant: Moogle! I'm going to start working on the article to make it a more proper candidate than it is now, so please do consider this. -- 21:20, 14 May 2011 (EDT)


 * I'm pretty sure the whole point of it being a Featured Article is that it's a good article, not that the series it's from is "booming". Just the fact that you need to go and fix it up shows that it is in no condition to be the Featured Article. For that reason I place my vote for KH TCG to raise awareness about the card articles and feature an article that is more original. -- 21:23, 14 May 2011 (EDT)

I already put in that I wanted TCG. 00:04, 15 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Done... almost.
 * As if: Of course, you are correct. The condition of the article comes before that of the popularity of its subject. However, the great part of that is that the article is in near-prime condition now. All it is missing now that I can see is a render of its Timeless River form. TCG is important, though I'm thinking of distribution here, so that we have some diversity in our articles being featured. -- 03:23, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

Diversity was the entire reason I nominated this. We have no real world articles featured, nothing related to cards, and 6 character articles. 09:25, 15 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Moot. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is a real-world article, though not specified explicitly, and as you can see above, Final Fantasy character articles fall into a different category than that of Kingdom Hearts original characters. Plus, the TCG article is not even close to being of a high standard that would make it an exemplary article. Moogle, on the other hand, just needs the Timeless River model, and that's purely aesthetic for visualization purposes. -- 17:59, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

And what, exactly, is it missing? 20:40, 15 May 2011 (EDT)

Raiden9000 - I nominate Cloud Strife's page. My reason for this is because there is only one Final Fantasy based character page that is featured so far and that is Leon. Cloud also has some good attacks when you fight him throughout the games and has a cool fight scene with Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2. Sorry if my nomination was meant to be in one of those bubble things like the one above, but I don't know how to do those.


 * Unfortunatly, this is ineligible, because: As per the rules above, you lack sufficient edits, and gave no real reason why the page itself is a polished article.  21:43, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Raiden9000 - My bad. Stupid dyslexia... I see now. 200 edits... Is that in this wiki alone or across all wikis?

I was going to nominate Silver Rock, but Invisible is good, too. I'll just use SR for June >:3 -- 21:52, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

@Raiden - No, it is unique to this wiki, but you should be sure to check the rules on other wikis, because no two are alike. 21:02, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Plus FA still tiptoes on Staff jurisdiction. maggosh 21:17, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Raiden9000 - Cool thanks. I'm going to go now. =D

As much as I love BBS, I'm gonna go with Invisible..it's nice for a change to see a Heartless after all these Nobodies/Unversed games. Anywho, I'm all for Invisible. However, isn't there supposed to be a strategy section on the page?-- Xion 4  ever  18:14, 11 February 2011 (EST)

I'll second that

2 things:


 * 1) @Xion - True, I'll just change the ability section to strategy, because that is what it's supposed to be, anyway.
 * 2) @Any staff member - The edit count rule is... well, two ineligible nominations have been made this month.  Your thoughts?

08:50, 19 February 2011 (EST)

But I have 241 mainspace edits! Don't you need 200 to suggest a page? 11:41, 19 February 2011 (EST)

You're fine, As if, I was refering to LightRoxas and Raiden. 14:44, 21 February 2011 (EST)

All right, since my nomination is ineligible, I'll just vote for Invisible too. 16:47, 23 February 2011 (EST)
 * Just to clarify: everyone on here nominates/votes for Invisible, yes? If not, speak now by shortly, and clearly nominating something else. DON'T RANT SAYING "Since it's ineligible/I don't really like it, but I'll go with it/etc." Peferct example sentence: "I do not nominate/vote for Invisible, instead I nominate ."-- Xion 4  ever  18:53, 24 February 2011 (EST)
 * Yes, I vote for Invisible. Wasn't really trying to rant. 15:00, 25 February 2011 (EST)


 * Verdict: Invisible is still missing several pieces of quality information--Re:coded info, translation of the kanji on the sword, and information from all the Ultimanias. Since no other article has recieved a significant amount of sceondary support to this article, we had an IRC conversation in #KHWiki-noticeboard, and decided upon Treasure Chest, with a super special surprise image system to be coded by LegoAlchemist. -- 01:08, 3 March 2011 (EST)

Two things: One, there needs to be something this month that isn't a character. Second, isn't this supposed to be staff only? 02:44, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

1) Then what about Ultima Weapon? It has appeared in several games, and we've only done one featured weapon.

2) It looks like they decided to make it open if you read the discussion below. 14:14, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * As much as I like Aqua as a character, I favor Ultima Weapon. We haven't been focusing on weapons very much for Featured Articles or Media, so it's nice for a change.-- Xion 4  ever  17:30, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, Ultima Weapon's a good idea. maggosh 17:44, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I also agree, but would you all say the article is high-quality enough to be the Featured Article? It looks good to me, just wanted to make sure. 01:20, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I personally am all for it, it's something new, something that's not overly cliche, sounds good to me-- 05:58, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Verdict: Ultima Weapon !

January 2011
I nominate Land of Departure for the month of January. With the possibility of the Wiki leaving in the quickly approacing months of the future, I thought Land of Departure would be nice for it's title- departure. Think of this nomination for January as a farewell to this horrid Oasis, and a departure towards a better home. Also, once we do move, I nominate the remains of this Wiki to be Castle Oblivion. :P-- Xion 4  ever  19:09, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * The problem with that is that articles should be nominated for excellence, not timing... but darn, this one is just too perfect to resist. If we could get a few staffers, and of course anyone else, to spruce this article up into an example of an ideal world article, I am all for it. -- 23:58, December 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would be willing to assist. maggosh 00:25, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, we have a problem. Head down to the bottom of the page, it seems we agreed to allow this article of the month to be decided by voting. Two thoughts: 1) January could quite possibly be the last month that this wiki remains on the wiki before moving, so we could make the change back to voting in conjunction with our move. Actually, this might be a helpful transition. 2) We have already chosen an article that seems pretty up-to-snuff, we could also just make sure the general community is fine with it. -- 23:11, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I could really go either way, but considering it's our last month, I'd say open the polls. maggosh 00:14, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

December 2010

 * Well then, allow [another] staff member to appear. Terribly sorry for the late response, guys. Yes, this is only a staff thing (unless there's been a change made during my inactivity)...anywho, if you guys notice that the staff hasn't voted/selected a featured article for the next month, tell them! Kryten, Neumannz, Maggosh, ENX, and now, TNE are on numerous times of the week be it on here or on the IRC. Inactive staff such as myself, Kate, and the others do occasionally check in here once in a while. Regardless of when we appear or not, you guys can always ping us on our talkpage or on the IRC (heck, even the Facebook/Twitter pages would work) about it.

Onto the vote! I second Maggosh's nomination for Removed content in the Kingdom Hearts series.-- Xion 4  ever  20:34, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's official then. :D maggosh 22:14, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * And it's done! -- 22:21, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

November 2010
I second (Er, third.) that vote.--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 20:16, November 3, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman

I'm sorry, nobody told me that. Thanks for telling me before i got a warning.--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 00:13, November 5, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman
