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).
 * 3 articles featuring a World (Traverse Town, Awakening, 100 Acre Wood, and Land of Departure).
 * 2 articles focusing on gameplay elements (Sleight and Master Form).
 * 2 articles featuring a Nobody enemy (Berserker).
 * 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).
 * 1 article featuring a weapon (Oathkeeper).
 * 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).

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.

February 2011
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)

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)

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