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 image must not bear or contain any watermarks, website labels, etc.
 * 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 three nominations per user per month! Pretty easy, right?

Voting
Editors have three votes; they must put their vote and signature, ( ~ ) underneath the nominees of their choice. Those who nominated media can have their nomination counted as their one vote and can post again; if they want to change, they simply need to sign under another nominee, remove their nomination and move vote for another nominee.

On the last day of the month, votes will be tallied, and the three nominations with the most votes will become the next Featured Media!

In the event of ties, we will use a randomizer for the tied nominations.

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.

July 2014
*I was going to suggest Fireworks or Large Watermelon, since it's summer. However, if we do a Tron-themed image, why not Space Paranoids? 16:00, 1 June 2014 (UTC) Sora — Funest, The KH Gamer Riku Replica 02:04, 29 June 2014 (UTC) Voting is officially closed! The winners for this month:
 * Red Magnum Loader - Since July 9 will be the 32nd Anniversary of the release of Tron, why not? 16:40, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * 22:14, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Large Watermelon - Formally nominating. (Keep the nominations clear, please) Two things: 1- Variety. "Themed" months in which the month is completely centered around one thing don't really show much...well, variety. 2- Shard's been killing it on the KHX images/articles. 20:28, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) I back this one. 20:40, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 2) Same here. I only support an image for anything SP-related on this month provided that it's on July 9, but I'd happily nominate or support any other image for the other 30 days of July. 05:47, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 3) Why not? Shows off more KHX 06:56, 2 June 2014 (UTC
 * 4) Yeah. 08:07, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * 5) Well, I also think a Tron-Related image would be nice and would fit with the anniversary, although, the Large Watermelon is a nice image and I think it would be better.
 * Fireworks (formally nominating) It's Independence Day here in the States next month (even though it's one day, it feels like the whole month). I secretly was leaning for this one the whole time... 02:15, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Red Magnum Loader July 1 - 16
 * Large Watermelon July 17 - 31

Also, kindly leave this up, at least the winner section, so we remember to change the featured media halfway through the month. I know I'm prone to forgetting. Thanks. 03:40, 1 July 2014 (UTC) -
