October 2010

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 18:45, September 4, 2010 (UTC) I see that Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep was chosen as the featured article. My commentary on this would be as follows: BIG MISTAKE The article is still very messy and is not completely consistent with the format of our other game articles. Also, whoever nominated and supported this seemed to forget that all Featured Articles should follow the manual of style, be written well, and not have any maintenance issues. You can see a missing <ref></ref> tag in the bottom of the page, was that not obvious enough? But I digress. 100 Acre Wood is the only quality article that comes to mind right now for October.

Organization 13 - I'd rather we just skip the formalities. TALK - How I love a game! Meh, cliche as it is, there is nothing wrong with the Halloween Town page, there is plenty of info on in with everything you would need to know.

September '10 Nominees

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...06:33, August 1, 2010 (UTC) *dusts off the page* Whew! Been a while since we were in here. *opens wikiwindows to let in fresh wikiair, uses her wikibroom to clean away the wikicobwebs, and then trips over a wikiottoman as karmic justice for blatent abuse of the prefix "wiki"*. Let's see...where were we...ah yes...

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 03:42, August 1, 2010 (UTC) Gummi Ship was indeed the selection for August, my only issue was finding an appropriate image of reasonable quality. Hopefully we will receive blueprint images of the Gummi Ships soon. It has been a while since we have featured a world article, I think the last one was Traverse Town. I'm still not too sure about featuring a world from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, due to our spoiler policy, but perhaps a world the former games would suffice, maybe even something that could tie into Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep without being spoilerific. Any suggestions?

Regarding world ideas... Castle Oblivion- Aqua creating Castle Oblivion from the darkened Land of Depature. Radiant Garden- Meh, it's in KH II and BBS. Olympus Coliseum- Same reasoning as Radiant Garden. If it's worlds not pertaining to BBS in anyway, I'm up for anything. The Inexistent proposed the Land of Dragons previously.. Xion4ever Who am I? — 12:42, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...18:17, August 15, 2010 (UTC) I think the Land of Dragons is the most complete of those suggested at this point. Part of the problem with using the BBS worlds is that they're technically not finished until we get the release here, since I'm sure bits will change, and, as Xion mentioned, the spoiler issues. Besides, Land of Dragons is a nice example of an article for a world that has so far appeared in a single game.

DoorToNothing — I dreamed last night... I got on the boat to Heaven! And by some chance, I had brought my dice along! — 03:47, August 30, 2010 (UTC) Hola, señors y señoritas. I have a bit of news for us that might change our plans. Even though we all know that Room Core should have been the Featured Media for September, it looks like we are going to be putting up some art of the Land of Departure. I'm still hoping that everyone spontaneously changes their vote to the much superior Room Core, but in the event that doesn't happen, we may want to reconsider putting Land of Departure up as the Featured Article. Personally, I'm not sure how good or non-rigged it would look to have our Featured Media and Featured Article correspond with each other. At the same time, it might be nice, since Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is just around the corner. Hooray! Anyway, I did a long, drastic cleanup of 100 Acre Wood yesterday that should make it a model article. Plus, it's whimsical. If we find that we need to change our decision for Featured Article, I think this would be the way to go. Hasta luego, ciao.

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 20:56, September 1, 2010 (UTC) Not sure what we've decided, but I think we should feature the actual BBS article. For two reasons: We've never featured a game article before Comes out September 7th, and many other obvious reasons Not sure what verdict we've reached, but this is, to me, the best choice.

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." I also agree. Along with the Land of Departure featured media, I think it's the best choice for September.

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...23:06, September 1, 2010 (UTC) I'm not keen on Land of Departure for two reasons: The game's not out yet here. Stuff will change, the page will probably be slammed with edits after the English version is released. It's in a bit of an unstable position to be called feature yet. It's awfully, um, small. There's just not a lot of anything on it. I know that it's one world in one game, so that does limit how big it can be, but...it just doesn't scream feature-worthy. Yet. Now 100 Acre Wood...good grief, DTN. That's a thing of beauty. That's how a good world article should look. Granted, it's got multiple games to support it, but it's also well-organized, nicely annotated, and bursting with info. I'm all about the Pooh.

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." Sorry, Kate, you seem to have misunderstood me. I said, along with the Land of Departure in Featured Media; I was agreeing with ENX on Birth by Sleep's article.

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...23:34, September 1, 2010 (UTC) Ah yes, so you did. Sorry, it's been a long day at work. I would be fine with Birth by Sleep as a featured article. I don't think there's quite as much to change there as there would be in something world or character related.

Sub-Discussion: Back to General Voting?

BebopKate - This one is Zazzles...because he's Zazzy! TALK - Here's your cat...and here's your $20...18:33, August 15, 2010 (UTC) Well, we, as a wiki, like to vote. The Mirage Arena is a great example of that, and I have to say Featured Media has exceeded everyone's expectations, methinks. We've improved in quality overall since we stopped Featured Articles, and even more so since we've re-added them as staff only. I think we have a lot more wiki members who know what quality means and are willing to help and polish something so it's at its best. Therefore, I would like to propose, in December, (for the January article, natch), we return Featured Articles to the hands of all the editors. I do think we should use the same system as Featured Media (restrained categories), as that has worked very well in producing a wide range of winners, and perhaps borrow and modify a couple of guidelines from FF Wiki's procedures, such as so many nominees before voting starts. If need be, we can re-tool things as we go along to make it work more smoothly, but I think this is a step we should take. What say you, fellow staffers? Viva la editors! (Don't hit me, TroisNyx. ^_^)

maggosh The steel is forged... — "Souls as far as the eye can see..." "If you want light to rule over all, then you must rid the world of everything else." No one commented? For two weeks? @_@ Well, as a newly appointed moderator, I'd like to say bringing voting back in December sounds like a good idea.

Allons, allons, je ne vais pas te frapper :P And what do we do for this month's FA, then ? I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne — 15:00, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
