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 ~ ! Remember, though, only one nomination per user per month! 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!

Note: It should go without saying, but it is extremely unethical to be canvassing for votes for this forum. If evidence is found that you've been trying to taint the process, the staff will de-nominate the targeted media, and may bar you from voting for the next round.

 * Hades Admiration - I believe we can all appreciate true lulz. ◄ Θάνατος ►  07:06, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Shade Jelly Family! - The whole family of crazy, "kooky" Shade Jelly Unversed. These guys are definitely different than any Heartless or Nobody ever introduced before, and are even unique within the family of Unversed. All of them are different, just like all of our different wiki editors, viewers, staffers, and readers are--hooray for figurative rhetoric in images! -- 07:24, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Hades gets old. -- 20:21, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) ^truefaxx -- 20:50, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, Hades doesn't have the charm that the Room Coar has. 00:54, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Yes! :D 02:47, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sora and Riku in KH3D - This is a marvelous picture showing Sora and Riku in the new Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance! Sora and Riku, in their original outfits, wielding their original weapon, gaze at the shining light ahead. 17:18, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) I LOVE this picture. [[File:Roxas's Symbol small.png]]  Superdog1123 [[File:Roxas's Symbol small.png]] HAPPY NEW YEAR  EVERYONE !!! 06:00, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) As much as I love the image of all the Keyblades, they would just be too small to see on the main page. 20:12, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Keyblades - A featured media image should encompass its subject, yes? Well, I honestly believe that this image does just that.  Plus, the Hades Admiration image is getting to the point when it was nominated as often as the room coar...  17:22, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) This is a sweet image. Plus, I feel like we should save the 3D pic for when it actually comes out.
 * KHII Opening - I'd like to nominate this picture because of the sort of combined similarities of Roxas and Sora (Sora eating Sea-Salt ice cream, Roxas's favourite food)
 * This is artwork, right? This image should be disqualified. - Lev  L  21:06, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

True. Can I renominate then? If so, id like to nominate File:Cloud-Sephiroth-KHII.jpg. Two great rivals clash!
 * Kingdom Hearts Opening - We've never had a video as a Featured Media choice before, and this is a great video. It's basically how the entire world was first introduced to Kingdom Hearts, and represents a sense of nostalgia.  It also reflects our move to SEIWA, as we will be starting a new adventure, just like Sora in the video.  So how about it?  00:38, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ineligable. If you read the above rules, it says no youtube clips.   02:38, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

 * Coded Characters - First of all, it is not a character image, that applies to renders; this is artwork. Anyway, this is perfect! Kingdom Hearts Re:coded comes out this month in North America, a game that has received very little coverage, which we can fix by featuring this amazing image. Also, I love some of the character expressions on this that we do not usually see in our "happy" artwork, such as Mickey's perplexity, Goofy's fear, and Donald's rage. Vote it! -- 09:38, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Well, you've got some great reasons. Gotta admit, this is the first artwork that shows emotion (all the ones you said, DTN, including Jiminy Cricket's shocked face. And I'm waiting so bad for this game. I'm all for it! 05:05, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I love this pic.
 * 3) This is not my favorite of the three, however it's Re:coded's time to shine (seeing that the NA release is very soon).
 * 4) 'tis awesome and Re:coded's coming soon. (P.S. Shouldn't we make a Re:coded theme by now?)  05:52, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Lev  L  12:04, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 17:54, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) A real shame this wasn't used for Re:coded. maggosh 23:15, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * File:Kingdom Hearts.jpg - This is one special door. I think that's reason enough. Ult ima 00:36, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) ^^I concur. -- 06:19, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Face it, guys- without Kingdom Hearts...what else would they name the game? :O-- Xion 4  ever  15:00, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Radiant Garden: I'm nominating this again because it's so amazingly drawn, must've taken ages to be finished. Not only that it's the only original world that's unique compared to anything we have in real life. 03:04, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) What a beautiful image--Xabryn 15:15, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hades Admiration - Is it not true that Febuary is the month of love? ◄ Θάνατος ►  07:10, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 07:11, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Bitch all you want about everyone "liking Aqua's body". This is hilarious. -- 07:16, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Good to see this nominated again
 * 3) Changin' the vote, let's go. 23:34, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) How did this not get featured yet?!?!? DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine!  06:00, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I vote for this picture. (Love, people!)

Winner: The cast of Kingdom Hearts coded is gracing the front page! -- 07:05, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

 * Radiant Garden: It's one of the best designed worlds. Just look at the intricate design at the front of the world's gateway. It's just too amazing.
 * 1) Agree 12:01, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it's artwork.  Disqualified.  maggosh 20:09, December 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Disney Castle Exterior: I'm nominating this image again because I think it'd be a really nice picture to start the new year. The tall spires stretching towards a blue sky should remind us all about reaching out to others. Here's to a Happy 2011! 11:40, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sanctuary: Nomura himself had stated that Sanctuary is like dawn. What better way to start the year than with a song of dawn, especially the ~After the Battle~ version? Amazing song for an amazing New Year!
 * 1) I agree. :D maggosh 03:31, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Same here. Great song, and I think it'd be the first audio featured media. (at least that I remember) -- 03:59, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) As smexeh as Aqua looks on the cover of BBSFM, new year's needs a new dawn. 04:33, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Agreed with JFHavoc. As much as I LOVE that picture of Disney Castle, let's save it for another month—we need some featured audio. 05:51, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Featured music, now there's an idea! Scratch my nomination, this is far better! 10:56, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11:06, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19:53, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I was actually using this song to calm down earlier. :) --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 06:37, December 8, 2010 (UTC)Superdog1123
 * 2) Forgot about this page. 03:42, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) For my return, I'm going back to the song from which I learned my first rhythm. 14:35, December 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix: It certainly is surprising just how many visitors to our wiki and Kingdom Hearts fans are not aware of the existence of this reissue of the PSP hit we all know and love(d). Featuring fantastic new artwork of the three protagonists that even, to me, foreshadows their ultimate fates, this beautiful boxart shows the reality of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix and just how great it is going to be, aside from the troubling aspect that we North Americans cannot get our hands on it! (Also, a featured audio track would be troublesome for people without QuickTime, the correct version, or a computer that cannot play the file.) -- 03:55, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Isn't this artwork? And it should be doubly disqualified, it has characters smack dab on it. -- 11:06, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You're right, Crono.  Disqualified.  maggosh 20:09, December 7, 2010 (UTC)
 *  Requalified.  As shown in the Featured Media gallery, "Boxart" is considered a section of its own apart from characters and artwork. -- 23:32, December 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) I was threatened >.> R8.50Mango
 * 2) ^What DTN said.
 * 3) KINGDOM HEARTS BIRTH BY SLEEP [FINAL MIX] COMPELS YOU!-- Xion 4  ever  16:11, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * File:Keyblades.png: So, I was thinking a few weeks ago: Whatever happened to that one table with the pictures of Sora's Keyblades on it?  Well, I found.  Then, I took the liberty of adding every single other Keyblade image to it.  After that, I realized that it couldn't fit anywhere as a table, so I printscreened.  And here we are.
 * Love it-- Shadows  Twilight Χ-blade (Incomplete) KHBBS.png 02:19, November 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Santa Jack: Ah, December, one thing springs to mind: Christmas. A great holiday deserves a great, seasonal Disney image from a film which teaches us all about the true meaning of giving - it doesn't matter about the bows or wrapping paper, it's the thought of giving the gift that counts. 22:27, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * What's this what's this? Christmas Jack for month of Christmas? *votes*-- Xion 4  ever  23:41, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * In this town, don't we love it now, everyone's waiting for the next surprise!
 * I was tempted to vote for Hades Admiration, but December screams Christmas, and Jack screams it louder. -- 05:10, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed. 'Tis the season. Plus we don't want a repeat of the incident involving a certain nucleus contained in a chamber. maggosh 05:12, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * YES! 05:27, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I freaking love TNBC :D 15:39, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * The holiday version of cross-dressing.
 * It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas-- 17:48, December 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hades Admiration - As Drake Clawfang said, through intense study of video archives, along with written testimony provided by fans and characters, it has been scientifically proven Aqua did in fact bring sexy back to the series. This picture is photographic evidence of this. ◄ Θάνατος ►  02:21, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. My. ENUO. -- 02:24, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * This looks good. - +Deadly  Slash  Sword+  02:25, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why not. Way to the Dawn KHII.png Chitalian  8  [[file:Wayward Wind KHBBS.png|20px]] 00:20, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No question
 * This is happening. Everyone does it, only Hades got caught. --Never fear ... Superdog is here! Yipee! :D 04:46, November 10, 2010 (UTC)Superdog1123
 * I seriously was going to stay out of this one... but someone attacked the Almighty Nucleus of the Chamber. -- 05:22, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * After nearly laughing my head off, I figured I'd vote for this one instead of the Keyblade Graphic. Blackhearted.Knight 19:36, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * Triple Artwork: Well, we've seen the releases of Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep, so I think it's about time that this wonderful piece of art was featured. 18:58, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) With Re:Coded coming out soon, and my having beaten both Days and BBS, I couldn't agree more! - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  19:10, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Yes please. : ) 19:16, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Si, senorita .-- Random! to a point!  19:21, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Beautiful image. It's also relevant since the release of the last of the three games is imminent, and we are about to enter a new phase in Kingdom Hearts. Tamroc7 20:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Assuming that I can vote and with the news from Gamestop that Re:Coded would be released in April sometime I definetly vote for this epic pic. #Absolutly one of my favorite pictures....--Axel - <font face="jokerman" color="orange" size=3>Boo to you too! http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll112/Icy_Scientist/pumpkin2.gif 00:54, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This, it's better than Xigbar, it's enough he's won the Mirage Arena battle.--Erry 00:55, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Although the Xigbar image is top-notch, I must say that I prefer artwork over renders, even if they are official, so this gets my vote.
 * 5) I was compelled. ^_^-- Xion 4  ever  19:35, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Very nice. -- 19:45, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I also like this image. It looks very well done. 19:28, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

 * 9) Great image. --Mikazuki Heart~You honestly think you can beat me?~ 01:00, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Xigbar: I REALLY hate to go against you, Dan, but I have to nominate this puppy. Looks like the normal Xigbar render, right? Wrong. Zoom in on it. Yep, this one is ULTRA high quality. You can see the texture of his scar. There are more of this caliber to follow, but for now, this is the best we got. Not to mention he'd be the first Org. member in Featured Media. maggosh 00:40, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) i like this idea much better --ShadowsTwilight 00:43, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) HIGH-DEFINITION ORGANIZATION XIII. Do want.
 * Room Core : Last night, I was visited by a very angry Room Core in a dream, who was infuriated by the lack of votes last month in comparison to a short-lived Unversed. For the sake of you, me, the articles, our wiki, and all the wikis, we must support and give in to the great power of Room Core. In dark times like these, our faith in The Core Divinity of the Room may be all we have left. -- 02:59, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was amusing the first time, but the joke is getting old. Let's drop it and move on to other things, please.  03:19, October 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hades Admiration - through intense study of video archives, along with written testimony provided by fans and characters, it has been scientifically proven Aqua did in fact bring sexy back to the series. This picture is photographic evidence of this. Doreiku Kuroofangu 21:05, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I know I'm only supposed to get one vote, but since my PERFECTLY VALID vote for Room Core will likely be ignored, this is my backup, since it is also very deserving of support
 * 2) Yes. <font color="#483d8b">◄ <font color="#8a2be2">Θάνατος <font color="#483d8b">►  21:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Amusing. Got my vote, if only because it made me laugh. Also, Coded wasn't released here, and Re:Coded isn't out yet, so triple artwork doesn't have my vote, and Xigbar has no relevance to current goings-on in the world of Kingdom Hearts releases. Also, the Room Core... Eh. It's a circle and some lines. Falcos 16:35, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * Room Core: ... really, guys? I am shocked, no, disgusted that only one of you had the sense to vote for what was obviously the superior image. The blending of colors must have taken extreme precision, and the shapes were probably coordinated by the finest mathematicians in the world, to be fitting for the Room Core. And you denied it for a tiny little blurry world art? Don't fret, though; since The Almighty Greatness did not furiously turn your heads into radishes or slowly start collapsing your bone structure from the inside-out because you didn't vote for It, and now that you have seen the errors of your ways, I am giving you a second choice to make the right decision, and vote for Room Core, the obvious magnum opus of any artist. -- 04:24, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) The Room Core is a fitting metaphor for our own trials and tribulations. Its teardrops represents the love and caring we show for each other, and the central core represents the strength within ourselves. The yellow spots represent imperfection, the blemishes of our otherwise perfect lives. The Room Core has never been more relevant as a Featured Image now. <font color="Midnightblue">Scathe <font color="#778899">Mote 01:50, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

When you blink, you can't fully close your eyes, because of those things slowly going farther into you... They then reach the brain... Your personality fades away when the temporal lobe is destroyed... You stop hearing, then seeing (although you're already blind). You still live, though, in a kind of haze, because you can't feel the world around you and you can't even act. The red spot with the yellow specks is your cancerous blood, spreading tumours throughout your body, ensuring that not only your whole consiousness and will is gone, but that your family won't even recognize your body anymore. Cancerous cells protuding everywhere on you will bloat your body. Indeed, you *will* still be alive, for your caring parents (morons though they are) will have brought you to the hospital. But the physicians can't do anything about the spines entirely inserted in your head. Thus, you die, stupid and ugly. KujaRhapsodos 03:02, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Birth by Sleep gets September. For October, Halloween, I say let's go with, well, Halloween. There's a world in Kingdom Hearts based off of the holiday. Why wouldn't we go for it? -- 03:40, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) October, Halloween, excellent. 18:22, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Why not it seems more like halloween than symphony Master, maybe if it was the Cursed Coach it would be more like halloween style20:42, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Ah halloween. My second favorite day of the year :D Such a great piece of art :D. So this gets my vote. --GeniusMage 06:05, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Room Core - There is so much to appreciate in such a complex image as this one. The multitude of colors and shapes in the image shows true craftsmanship in creating such a detailed and crafty piece of art, far more complex that such images as these two. The circles are flawlessly created, and the shapes are geometric perfection. Such complexity must have taken days, no, weeks to perfect and create! No other piece of Kingdom Hearts-related media could possibly even come close to having the tiniest chance of even just comparing with the beauty of the one and only, Room Core! -- 02:44, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I actually hate this picture, but DTN sold it to me with such great skill. <font color="#1E90FF ">Ult <font color="#000080 ">ima 18:01, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Cover of the BBS Ultimania By the time this is put on the page, BbS will be less than a week away. We are all anticipating it, and now is the time for the BbS craze to begin.  Besides that, I think we should at least do some sort of written content (as I haven't seen any) for the featured media, as well as the fact that this is a great picture.  That is all.
 * 1) An epic image, indeed! --Nitrous X 00:13, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree [[file:Way to the Dawn KHII.png|20px]]Light? Dark? More like the Dawn!! [[file:Wayward Wind KHBBS.png|20px]] 14:43, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) ..I just like it
 * 4) Xehanort looks like an evil elf. Back to the South Pole with you!-- Random! to a point!  01:53, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Land of Departure Art As The Inixestent said, BBS mania will be in full force by the time the next featured media is set in place. Both of these opposing images are formidable, but the wiki's going through changes right now, and what better place to start those changes than the Land of Departure? Not to mention there's an unsightly IGN logo in the bottom left-hand corner of the gummi ship workshop image...
 * 1) Waka likey...pretty colors...I mean, wait what? This image is finely crafted in such a way that it almost makes me feel like dreaming as I lay awake... It's got my vote, by FAR. &quot;Sum non video, pro timeo est scutum... Et cum, Ego deleo lux, desidero patriam, semper pugno&quot; ~ Blixna_Waka(A.K.A. &quot;Mr. Ancient Latin&quot;) 01:41, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Oh what I wouldn't give for a castle like that one. This piece has my vote. Manipulation of Hearts 05:26, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Land of Departure. World > Room Core. No contest. maggosh 05:36, August 1, 2010 (UTC) Bad maggosh, do not bring dishonor to the name of the Upmost Greatness. -- 02:37, August 25, 2010 (UTC) Crois-moi, not everyone will be thinking Upmost Greatness for now. Also, I believe this calls for another space ? Guys ? Thoughts ? 01:39, August 26, 2010 (UTC) A space dedicated to the almighty Room Core? Sounds good to me. In reality, though, this voting shouldn't need a space for comments. -- 01:42, August 26, 2010 (UTC) That being the case, then I think you and I should both stop.  01:46, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I love this image, it gets my vote =D This was actually the image that I was going to nominate ^_^ 09:08, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) Just because the two others are not of my liking... I don't like the CG cover... and the Room Core is just... a Room Core.21:18, August 15, 2010 (UTC) How dare you say such a thing about Room Core. -- 02:33, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I realise that I haven't voted yet - and since BBS comes out next month, it's time to feature the main location in the game. Blow the BBS horns ! 04:21, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Welp, it's already the 1st of September and we're slightly overdue in featuring the image, so our winner for this month is the all-new Land of Departure. 14:57, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * World of Chaos - Guardian - It's a bird! It's a plane! It's--well, it's undeniably one of the best renders that we have, if not the best. This is a beautiful boss image that will surely turn a few heads, and lead them to learn more about the mysterious and incredible World of Chaos, the original final boss of the Kingdom Hearts series! -- 06:18, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) It's a mega heartless ship and it's fun to fight it gets my vote.--ZACH 18:54, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 6) Awesome look. I want one.  Blackhearted.Knight 17:39, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Cover to Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - The game that fully explained Kingdom Hearts II should be remembered the most by everyone on this wiki. It's considered by some to be the greatest game of the series and I'd like to make sure everyone captures all the history and madness from just this one game. Every day (in August)! -- If I had a hairbrush,  that would be amazing!   Pregnancy?  06:34, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Disney Castle Exterior - Okay, my first nomination for Featured Media: I think this is a wonderful image of one of the key places in the Kingdom Hearts universe; Disney Castle. The tall spires stretching towards a beautiful, blue sky reminds us all about reaching out and realising our dreams! -- 11:16, July 1, 2010 (UTC) Ineligible: "Worlds" category is closed for the month of August 2010.

 * Lion Form - Thanks for telling me that the "Worlds" category means "Locations"... Anyway, I think that this image is one of the best to illustrate the bond between Square Enix and Disney. Also, this Summer, I've become addicted to The Lion King, as many of you can tell. ^_^ -- 18:50, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 9) Only reason I'm not going with DTN's nomination is because if one looks closely, you see it's just a crappy T-render. I think the Wiki is better than that. - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  09:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Tranquil Shard, Tranquil Stone, Tranquil Gem, and Tranquil Crystal - Since these images are particularly small, I am nominating the complete set of them. Never have we featured any item images, so this would be a great "first" to show our diverse collection of great images. Also, we can show some of our less "worldly" readers and viewers some Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix-exclusive material. Our synthesis articles are also looking great with the format and work that has been put on them, so this is a great way to feature them as well. Lastly, the items gradually increase in "warmth" color-wise, much like the heat in North America. Vote for this, yas? -- 07:56, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) YAS. Way to make a difference. :D 13:10, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) definitely got my vote. I should be fully back soon, everyone.

 * The Cover of the BBS Ultimania -Even if you think that the BBS Craze shouldn't start yet, I think we should at least do some sort of written content (as I haven't seen any). Besides, this is a great picture.  If you don't think we should do a BBS type- thing, then we could always do some sort of other Ultimania.  That is all.
 * 1) The first Ultimania to use CG in the cover design, it surely has my vote23:43, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) This picture looks awesome. It has my vote. FinalMix+ 07:56, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

 * Saix Beserk- I'm not sure of the rules regarding nominations, but I nominate this as the featured media because it shows just how crazy the members of the organization really were....Is that enough for a nom?
 * Lindworm - This is the only weapon of Organization XIII that I am drawn to, even Saïx's banana. It also seems to me very colourful and reminisent (the top) to Yuffie's shikurien. --Ansem Chain of Memories.gif I'll  Crush  You!  21:42, June 2, 2010 (UTC) Ineligible: "Weapons" category is closed for the month of July 2010.

Ineligible Categories: Artwork, Weapons ''You guys are aware that nominations are not limited to the first day of the month, right? ^_^ 17:46, May 1, 2010 (UTC)''
 * Yes, we are, but we just had to put in the nominations on the first day, n'est-ce pas ? And by the way, I thought I'd give it a shot before my first-year LLB finals tomorrow. I reckon that if I'd done it any later, it'd be a total waste. 06:35, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

''Troisnyxetienne's nomination is artwork, isn't it? Thus, it should be ineligible?'' - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  11:22, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It actually counts as a World Image, since the Awakening is a level in the game. 21:38, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

''Yes, but it's ARTWORK of a World image. But hey, I'm pulling for TNE. Keep it, then ^_^'' - Eternal  Nothingness  XIII  21:53, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * That especially applies, of course, if you can actually hear Destati playing in your head. Since it's exam day today I can clearly hear Destati, tendi la mano.... early in the morning when the sun rises. Already. The urgency is there.

Wait, isn't it already June by UTC standards ?


 * Awakening (KH1) This is the first time I'm ever suggesting Featured Media, but at any time between next month and August, we probably wouldn't be revising the fundamentals of Kingdom Hearts. So now, feast your eyes on the Awakening... while it's here ! ^_^ 09:10, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I really do love this image, it gets my vote =) 10:58, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Dang. I forgot to find an image to nominate. I'll just have to vote for this one.
 * 3) Why not?
 * 4) Awesome image. To continue the actual article was a featured article a few months ago...-- Xion 4  ever  20:25, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * 6) This image is JFHAVOC TESTED! JFHAVOC APPROVED! ;D -- 04:30, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I vote for the Awakening as well, but I think the combined Awakening of Ventus and Vanitas would look nice. FinalMix+ 11:00, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I don't like the Awakening, but I do like this image. - Lev  L  10:55, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) It's a great picture. Silver  Crono  01:23, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Storm Rider Alright, here is my opinion: we have not featured an image of enemy in several months, and not a boss in nearly a year. However, the main reason I am nominating this is because that June 19th, 2010 will be the 12th anniversary of the Mulan Disney film. Let's celebrate with a Mulan image, Kingdom Hearts style! -- 10:50, May 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) I second the Storm Rider- that thing was fun to fight... oh, yeah, and the Mulan thing too...


 * 1) I third it. Mulan was great. Organization 13 18:13, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * 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. }}
