==December 2012==
==January 2013==
{{Uxie|time=05:14, 1 November 2012 (UTC)|luna=I was going to nominate The Grid, but it's story section is still draft-only (and I think it's the only KH3D world who's story section is incomplete). Because December means Christmas, as well as two years since ''Tron: Legacy'', we should put in something relating to either Christmas Town or The Grid.}}


{{Uxie|time=11:04, 18 November 2012 (UTC)|angela=The other day, on the IRC, LightRoxas suggested [[Christmas Town]]. While it's not a fully regonised world like Halloween Town, it's still a world...}}
{{Coldasfire|time=17:53, 29 November 2012 (UTC)|xigbar=I agree with Uxie, but the Christmas Town article is really short and needs a lot of work :P}}
==November 2012==
{{Uxie|time=14:23, 1 October 2012 (UTC)|zoe=I'm holding onto my nomination for December (if it's "completed" in time). Normally, we should be avoiding character articles, but I'm begining to think that it's time for [[Marluxia]] to be in the spotlight.}}
{{LightRoxas|link=I actually think that [[Birth by sleep (video)]] would make an excellent choice. Not only has it been a while since we featured an article on a secret ending, but this article also provides an interesting perspective on Terra, Aqua, and Ventus, as this was the first piece of info we had on them.}}
{{Uxie|time=06:35, 30 October 2012 (UTC)|angela=I know it's two days early, but [[Birth by sleep (video)]] should do.}}
:Birth by Sleep (video) looks good to me.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 00:10, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
==October 2012==
{{Uxie|time=07:59, 1 September 2012 (UTC)|text=Halloween is upon us. Maybe October should have an article on something that's either related to Halloween Town or Port Royal, or something considered "spooky". I'm going to review on all the articles that fit this type.
EDIT: I'm not going to nominate an article myself this month. What article you guys want for October is up to you, but an article relating to something spooky to suit Halloween is just a suggestion. But if I were not pushing for The Grid to be nominated for December's FA, as well is it's improvement tag, I would have nominated Port Royal.}}
{{RockSlicer| time= 16:30, 1 September 2012 (UTC)| text= I nominate Magic.}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 22:27, 1 September 2012 (UTC)|new=Well I would like to nominate [[Leechgrave]] since there's nothing spookier then a Heartless cannibal. Plus the article itself isn't bad either and is, for the most part, complete.}}
{{Uxie|time=06:19, 2 September 2012 (UTC)|luna=Leechgrave. Not a bad idea. Heck, it suits for Halloween! :)}}
==September 2012==
{{Uxie|time=13:03, 1 August 2012 (UTC)|angela=Okay guys, now what? I'm starting to run out of articles myself, and I'm going to hold onto my next sugestion for October.}}
{{LightRoxas|epic=I think we should have [[Dream Eater]] as our article next month. We've never had an article on a species before, and this article has a plethora of images to compliment the information held here. This all being said, it is currently classified as a stub. I'm not sure what information is lacking, but in order to fit the format held by similar articles, it needs a Nature section. I'll try to  write this up, and we'll see if we can get this article complete.}}
{{Uxie|time=06:54, 2 August 2012 (UTC)|zoe=Dream Eater? Good idea, but we better do a bit more work on it.}}
==August 2012==
{{Uxie|time=03:28, 1 July 2012 (UTC)|text=Hm? We want to spread out the articles. We've gone with the Gullwings in May, Space Paranoids in June, and Arpeggio in July. I suppose one of the five Atlantica songs for August?
EDIT: I suggest either [[Part of Your World]] or [[Under the Sea]]. If you ask me, pick the latter. Pro: It's also the background music in the first game, plus it's got more data in it than the other. Con: The image needs to be replaced.}}
{{EO|time=17:14, 16 July 2012 (UTC)|talktext=I'd actually like to nominate [[Marluxia]]. I spent a great deal of time earlier this summer revising the article, and I think it now stands as an example of what a quality article should be:
*Pictures, Pictures, PICTURES
*Free of grammatical errors
*Decent length/informative
It's been two months since we've featured a character article, and even longer since that character has been from Organization XIII. Marluxia's a friggen final boss who serves as the definition of androgynous epicness, and he's not a featured article? ''COME ON!''}}
{{Uxie|time=17:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)|zoe=I understand why you request this character, but don't forget that we want to balance out the featured articles. It cannot always be a character, you know. This is why I nominated two songs this time.}}
{{EO|time=05:37, 17 July 2012 (UTC)|text=I'm well aware that we try to balance out our featured articles, thank you very much. The only reason I suggested Marluxia was because his is, as I said, now a quality article and illustrates the process of making a page worthy of being called a Featured Article perfectly: from rags-to-riches through pure, hard and honest revision and devotion until the finished product is the best it can be.
The song articles are often neglected, thus I feel their quality suffers (obviously there's not a whole lot you can write about a song without being redundant after stating the necessities). Not only that, but it's drawing attention for readers to an article-type we don't focus too heavily on: music.
Featured articles need to be nominated on grounds other than just "Hey, this article is on my favorite character/weapon/song; let's make it an FA!" or "Well, we've nominated everything else before, so let's just throw this out there." Featured Articles are meant to emphasize/commemorate the Wiki's top-quality work.}}
{{RockSlicer| time= 04:44, 17 July 2012 (UTC)| text= I nominate Aero. To me, it feels that a magic spell would fit very well for this month.}}
{{Uxie|time=06:36, 17 July 2012 (UTC)|zoe=Alright, put in your character, Mr. "Let's be rude to a Pokémon". But I want this to be the last character for awhile. But I'm still going to hold onto my nomination for Under the Sea.
RockSlicer, I don't think you're allowed to vote yet. I think you need to make about 50 non-userpage edits, first.}}
{{EO|time=14:30, 17 July 2012 (UTC)|text=Uxie, I'm not being rude, nor am I trying to. I'm simply defending my position.}}
{{ErryTalk|time=14:02, 17 July 2012 (UTC)|xiii2=Even if he could nominate, that wouldn't viable as it has been featured once.}}
Woah there. Nominate your article, state why you think it should be nominated (obviously you should highlight the quality of the article), and you're done. No need to bash each other. Before I move on in this message, I also want to express that we do want to have some variety in our Featured Articles. Granted, we shouldn't sacrifice quality just because an article in that subject has already been featured. However, before we move on I highly urge everyone to go through the categories and look for a better quality article. For example: While Sora's article would beat {{c|List of Gummi Ship Blueprints|KH}}, Sora might lose to another Gummi related article, such as [[Gummi Ship]]. See my point? Now then, about this month...
So far we have:
*[[Under the Sea]]
*[[Marluxia]]
*<s>Aero</s> (already featured)
We've featured a music article this past month- Arpeggio. While Arpeggio is indeed a Nobody weapon, music can be inferred from the article's title. I personally though would rather have a different article than another ''Kingdom Hearts'' exclusive character. We have seven. I'm not saying Marluxia's article isn't worthy. It's an excellent article, truly. However, I think we can find a different, just as amazing article in a different category. I'm personally going to nominate [[Mission Mode]]. It's an expansive article that many users have worked on. There are plenty of images, in-depth sections, and some excellent writing going on there.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 16:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
:I will second this nomination. Missions don't get enough credit. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 16:25, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=16:48, 20 July 2012 (UTC)|luna=Yeah, this is much better. I support this one. I'll hold Under the Sea for later.}}
{{RockSlicer|time=02:12, 25 July 2012 (UTC)|grid=I also support Missions.}}
:@RockSlicer: I thank you for your comments, and it's nice to see new users explore this side of the Wiki. However, please be sure to check out the rules of voting at the top of this page. In order to vote, you need at least 200 mainspace edits. You can check your number of edits [http://www.khwiki.net/Special:Editcount here].

{{Uxie|time=13:03, 1 August 2012 (UTC)|zoe=I'm putting up [[Mission Mode]] for August.}}
==July 2012==
{{Uxie|time=22:59, 31 May 2012 (UTC)|angela=I know I picked the last two month's winners, but <s>next month, our featured article should be [[Tron]]. He turns 30 next month, much like how I turn 18 today. I know, I know. Put the stuff about Space Paranoids aside for now, but his article is well-written and the issues with Rinzler are now cleared. It's okay if something else is chosen, but I just wanted to do something to mark 30 years since the original film, you know.</s> Never mind. Tron's been nominated for the Featured Media as both himself and as Rinzler}}
{{LightRoxas|sad=I'm sorry Uxie, but we really need to hold off on Tron. Even if it is his birthday in July, we've just done Space Paranoids, and it hasn't been long since we've had a character as our Featured Article. We really try to keep diversity for these, and choosing two articles from the same movie for consecutive months does not accomplish that.
But I digress; this month, I would like to nominate [[Soul Eater]]. It has been a while since we featured a weapon article, and Soul Eater is quite expansive. I did a grammar check on it earlier today, so it should be all set for featured status.}}
{{Uxie|time=05:35, 1 June 2012 (UTC)|text=I understand. I knew you'd say "no", anyway. But I'm not going to agree on Soul Eater. <s>I'd prefer [[Kingdom Key D]].</s> Pulled. See below.}}
The two weapon articles we have used have been Keyblades. How about we spice it up with some ally weapons, guys? There's at least twelve members of Organization XIII to choose from, as well as Donald, Goofy, Aladdin, and the others.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 12:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=14:52, 4 June 2012 (UTC)|luna=Not '''Identity Disk''' at this stage, due the the recent release of ''Dream Drop Distance''. I'm pulling my two nominations from above and going to nominate the [[Mage's Staff]] (Donald's signiture staff) and the [[Knight's Shield]] (Goofy's signiture shield). Which one I would pick? I cannot make up my mind, which explains why I picked both. So let's choose between what we got so far.}}
:Demyx's [[Arpeggio]]. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 14:56, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
::I agree with Arpeggio. {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 15:05, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
:I really think we should do the Trading Card game. It would be nice to know about it.[[User:Lightning Samurai Larxene|Lightning Queen]] 00:29, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Lightning Samurai Larxene
::We've actually already featured the Trading Card game before. Ergo, it is ineligible. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 02:10, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
:We're on the home stretch now. So, a brief run down of what we have this month:
*[[Mage's Staff]]
*[[Knight's Shield]]
*[[Arpeggio]]
...I'm surprised no one nominated a joke weapon, such as the [[Dryer]]. Xigbar with a dryer? Pfft, as if. Anyways, all three articles don't seem to be missing any information...So, it's straight up to the votes now. So far it's one for each article.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 23:20, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
:I'll put my vote towards Arpeggio. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 14:33, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=03:28, 1 July 2012 (UTC)|angela=Well, we've got three nominations, of whom only one of them managed to get a vote from someone other than the suggestor. Let's go with Arpeggio.}}
==June 2012==
{{Uxie|time=06:30, 1 May 2012 (UTC)|zoe=Well, last month I said that I want to nominate an article relating to Space Paranoids or The Grid. Here is why: Space Paranoids is my favorite world, and June 1st will be very special for me, as it will be my 18th Birthday, and it'll be even more special if something relating to that world is selected (I'll bypass The Grid for now, since DDD's just been released over a month ago.)
One of these articles I nominate:
*[[Space Paranoids]] (most likely)
*[[Tron]]
*[[Sark]]
*[[Master Control Program]]
I would have added the Light Cycle and Data Form as well, if it were not for The Grid. I recomend the first of these, since we don't want to overdo the character articles. Besides, it's been awhile since we last selected a Disney world as the FA.
It's okay if you choose another article for June. Though this will be a very special month for me. Sorry if I sound a little selfish.}}
{{LightRoxas|tron=Considering it has been so long since we've done a Disney world (or any world, for that matter), Space Paranoids seems like a good choice. Regardless of any of your personal reasons, it's a fairly expansive, well-written article as well, so I'm game for it.}}
{{Uxie|time=19:17, 1 May 2012 (UTC)|luna=Thanks LR! My dice is rolling for <s>Cloud Spires</s> Space Paranoids, regardless of whether or not something special is about to happen...}}
Guys, before you nominate an article make sure that article is ready. The point of Featured Articles is to show articles that are amazing, well written, complete, graphic, and the like. This isn't a place were you nominate any article and say "I want this one because I like it!" or "This article is cool because it has my favorite word in it!" Quality will prevail every time; a worthy article will be chosen every month. Just because five users on this end agree on one article, doesn't necessarily mean that article will become the Featured Article. </Unqualified article(s) nominated>
That said, Space Paranoids was a finished article, but not 100% ready. There were minor grammar errors, some poorly written sentences, pieces of the story left out, and even misinformation. You can't just blindly nominate articles before looking at them. If you aren't sure of an article's status ask someone- be it on here, a user talk page, or even the respective article's talk page. And, say you want to nominate an article that isn't complete: you can do so, just be sure to put some work in it if you seriously want it to get other votes. So, just pay more attention and all that.
Anyways, I've made a couple of edits on the Space Paranoids page, while I wouldn't say the edits make it Featured Article worthy, I was able to help the flow of the section a bit better, as well as removing the previously listed problems. I am content with Space Paranoids, and can handle it being June's Featured Article.--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 16:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
:For the record, I did do a quick overview of the article before voting - in fact, I always make sure to do a quick scan of a nominated article, to be sure it has no stubs or notices on top. That being said, at the time of this voting I was quite busy, and didn't really have the time to do an actual read of the article. I apologize, as the FA has kind of become my unofficial responsibility as of late, and I promise I will be more careful going forward. In the mean time, thanks yet again for your help, Xion. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 17:23, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
==May 2012==
{{Uxie|time=06:19, 5 April 2012 (UTC)|angela=Well, since I want to nominate Space Paranoids, The Grid, or something else involving one of the two worlds, for June (I'll explain why at the next voting), I think we should nominate a Final Fantasy character. I suggest the [[Gullwings]]?}}
:Gullwings looks fine to me. That, and I'm a sucker for their pitiful, yet amusing quotes. xD Other thoughts?--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 20:59, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
::I donut mind the Gullwings. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 06:14, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
:::I personally cannot stand the Gullwings, but that has little to do with whether the article is up to snuff. Sounds like a good Featured Article. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 20:47, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
::::While I could easily go all Grammar Nazi on it, this is the perfect example of a quality article! - {{User:EternalNothingnessXIII/Sig}} 20:53, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::Alright, I'm gonna write up the summary. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 19:37, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
==April 2012==
{{LightRoxas|young=This month all of us are gonna be pretty busy with the merge, so I doubt we'll have sufficient time to work on [[User:As if!/Boss Music|Boss Music]] and get it completed. So while you are merging, keep on the lookout for any articles that stand out as worthy of being featured. Good luck.}}
{{Uxie|time=05:38, 2 March 2012 (UTC)|text=I'm to do a little extra work on [[Under the Sea]] and find a better image for that page for it to become the next Featured Article. Otherwise, it's <s>Aquatos</s> opps, [[Atlantica]].}}
{{Xion4ever|time=22:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)|text=White Atlantica is a formidable opponent, I'm nominating [[Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle]] just because music hasn't been a featured article. Even if this specific article isn't chosen, I still say we follow a merchandise theme just to bring in some diversity. As for Field & Battle, I can't imagine too much is missing since the music articles are generally shorter than others. Ergo, I say Field & Battle.}}
I'd have to agree with Xion, MUSIC! Either that or the KHBBS/Days/Re:coded soundtrack. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 06:01, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
{{LightRoxas|riku=I will write up a summary for Piano Collections. Since I'm leaving on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic tonight, I will have everything prepared. On April 1st someone else will need to post the link to the Main Page, but otherwise we'll be set.
EDIT 19:14, 27 March 2012 (UTC): The summary is here: [[KHWiki:Featured Articles/Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle|clickitty clack!]]}}
Alrighty then. So, everyone is in agreeance? Field and Battle sounds good for April? So far I see at least two in agreeance [myself and Erry], and maybe Light Roxas?

==March 2012==
{{LightRoxas|link=Alright, so who's got some ideas for this month's article? I'd say we should aim for one of the categories that has only one article. BirthBySleepExpert suggested [[Realm of Darkness]](in addition to a couple character articles we should avoid for now), but that has a bunch of issues with it so...
I'm gonna go ahead and nominate [[Boss Music]]. We've barely featured any real-world articles, and this is a very expansive list that many people may be interested in. Anyways, I'm gonna shut up now...}}
{{Uxie|time=15:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)|luna=Yes, we should stick with Boss Music for March. But should we also suggest a world for next month. With the exeption of 100 Acre Wood, all our preveous worlds were main-baised, and not a Disney-baised.
EDIT: After a little soul serching, and going through some of the pages in this wiki, I found the page that should be the featured article for March: [[Under the Sea]]. Just replace the image, re-write it to present tence (this is NOT the Ratchet Wiki) and perfect!}}
How about Vanitas Renmants' theme, Enter the Void?
{{Maggosh|nathan=This is for Featured Articles. Votes for Media should go [[KHWiki:Votes for Featured Media|here]]. Also, please sign your posts.}}
{{Asif|sho=I'm actually rewriting the Boss Music page and could use a lot of help. If anyone wants to edit, then go [[User:As if!/Boss Music|here]].}}
{{LightRoxas|sad=We haven't yet finished the revision of Boss Music, and Under the Sea needs a citation for its opening paragraph, not to mention that it doesn't really have enough text to give much of a preview on the main page. I would like to nominate [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] for Featured Article, since Boss Music won't get done and isn't exactly high priority until the merge is complete. I know that up until now we've been avoiding original characters, but we've gone one and a half years without one, so I think it'll be alright. Thoughts?}}
==February 2012==
{{LightRoxas|lucky=I'd say we go with one of these:
*[[Maleficent]]
*[[Tron]]
*[[Cinderella]]
Again, Disney Characters haven't been featured in a while, and these three articles are all of good quality. I favor the former two over the latter; Maleficent is a very expansive article, and I've always loved Tron. Also, both characters seem to appear in KH3D, so it's a good choice either way.}}
{{Asif|sho=Cinderella's personality section is a stub. I say Maleficent, because her article has so much more content in it than Tron (though both are equally complete).}}
{{Uxie|time=17:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)|text=I thought we cannot nominate these three until March? Anyway, I was going to save this for June, but let's hope Tron will get this prize for February, otherwise I nominate Port Royal.}}

::<s>Well, I'll save Port Royal for later. I'm picking Tron. Let's hope he gets it this time, since he is one of only two Disney characters to be both an ally and an enemy of Sora (with the other being Iago).</s> See below. [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] 04:20, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Maleficent. Tron's "Other appearances" needs a citation. UNACCEPTABLE. {{User:Chitalian8/Sig}} 04:28, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=04:33, 2 January 2012 (UTC)|luna=Might as well change my vote to Port Royal, since Tron is currently disbuted. How about he just hold him for the next three months, just to avoid controversy over his role in KH3D.
*Cinderella = 0
*Maleficent = 4 - most likely winner of the month. Yuck!
*Port Royal = 0
}}
I'm still rooting for {{Wtext|Maleficent|c}}. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 04:40, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
:Might as well let her win this round. I'll just hold on to my votes for now. *Changes vote to Maleficent* I'll hold onto my nominations for after KH3D's release.

Yes, Maleficent is surely the better, more expansive article of the two. It makes since to choose her, since we really can't be certain Rinzler will appear in the game, or whether he is Tron. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 16:01, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
Maybe we could go with one of these guys:
*[[Ventus]]
*[[Realm of Darkness]]
*[[Marluxia]]

Rant aside, this month I'd like to get a Disney character as our FA, seeing as it has been quite a while since we featured one. Any suggestions?}}
{{Asif|shonormal=Okay, so I asked Kryten if there was anything I needed to change about the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] article, and he never responded. Nevertheless, I nominate that article and will make any necessary changes once I know what they are.}}
:Sounds great. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 02:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I nominoot [[Cinderella]] and [[Maleficent]]. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 03:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=09:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Disney character, eh? Hm? Maybe [[Tron]]? I think he should be the featured article next month. Either him or the Battle of the 1000 Heartless.
Besides, we've focused on major characters for too long, and it's time for a Disney party member. Agree?}}
{{LightRoxas|text=Alright, noms so far:
*[[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]]
*[[Cinderella]]
*[[Maleficent]]
*[[Tron]]
These are probably enough; we should decide among these. I personally gravitate towards Tron, as although Battle of the 1000 Heartless is a great pick, we've featured a lot of gameplay elements/situations within the last few months. It'd be nice to have a few more characters to help diversify a bit, and in a month or two we could do Battle. That's just my $0.02 though.}}
{{Chitalian8|time=23:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)|neku= I think that the Battle is a good article, we haven't ever really done an event before. We've done plenty of characters, so I'd say we give it to something new. <small><small><small><small>Sorry to say that your vote still doesn't count, LightRoxas. </small></small></small></small>}}
{{Uxie|time=05:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Let's see...
So far, Tron has got two votes, while the Battle of the 1000 Heartless has got three. I agree with you LR; time to pick a character, as gameplay stuff (including Sora's Santa Form) have been the winners for awhile. The reason why I picked Tron is because most characters featured so far have been major characters, and the other two characters that Erry suggested are major characters. Besides, I'd like to see at least one world-baised party member get a chance.
Does anyone agree?}}
{{Pea14733|time=05:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|mrhintr= I agree with Chitalian.}}
{{Uxie|time=06:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|luna=Make that 2 for Tron, 4 for the Battle of the 1000 Heartless. I'd rather the former, as we've not focused on a character in ages.
A better way to settle this is that maybe Tron could do January, then Battle of the 1000 Heartless in February, or vise versa. Currently, the latter's got the upper hand, but who knows. Both have gotten my vote, but gameplay stuff has been featured for far too long. Too bad we cannot do both in the same month...}}
{{Pea14733|time=06:51, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|mrh= Uxie, the Battle isn't exactly "Gameplay Element". It is an "Event" in the game/storyline. Which has never been featured before.}}
{{Uxie|time=08:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Hey, it's not me that's in charge of the Featured Article. And I kinda get mixed up with some things. I actually suport the battle, btw.}}
{{LightRoxas|text=A good point to make is that, as AI has stated, Battle of the 1000 Heartless has a glaring stamp on it signifying it needs work. Unfortunately, the reasons for the stamp are unknown. As If! tried contacting Kryten about it but has gotten no response. I scanned the article and didn't see any problems, but until we know for sure there's not much we can do.}}
{{LightRoxas|hooded= I am well aware that, per the rules, I am not supposed to be nominating or voting. However, I'm not just gonna leave for two reasons: This place has had next to zero activity up til now, and I want to make sure the excellent input these editors are giving stays. Secondly, the last three consecutive FAs have been nominated by me, so I'm not just gonna leave. Consider my votes unofficial, if you must, but I think I at least bring up a few good points.}}
{{Uxie|time=05:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)|zoe=Understandable. Excluding you: Tron = 1, Battle of the 1000 Heartless = 4. We better work on the latter before New Years if it's to become the next FA, otherwise the former gets it, despite only one vote.}}
{{SilverCrono|time=03:50, 10 December 2011 (UTC)|armor=Jumping in to say I'm voting for Battle. I'll look it over for some minor changes, but I don't have time for major edits, sorry. Even if we don't work on it that much before the end of the month, it's not ''that'' bad, and I think it should still win it... :/}}
{{Uxie|time=05:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Okay, thanks. I suppose I could nominate Tron, once we're closer to a certain month. Let the battle come! :)}}
Not sure about other staff members, but I don't necessarily see a problem with you guys posting your opinions on this. This is just a vote for proposed featured articles, afterall. A vote, not an ultimate, binding decision. Besides, staff members are in charge of actually choosing the featured article and making the changes (main page, archives, etc.). Everyone who votes on this matter hopefully works on the Wiki to create such noteworthy [featured] articles. If there's a specific article that makes you say "Wow, this is really good!" then you should have the right to propose it for featured articles.  Simply put, you helped make awesome articles, you deserve to voice your opinion on which ones should be featured. Whether it actually becomes a featured article is moot, though.
That being said, I say Maleficent or Tron, though I line more with Maleficent. Tron's article is good, and I'm always a sucker for Sci-Fi movies, but Maleficent...just look at the article! The page is well written, organized, and is full of information. Oh, and did I mention it's a dragon? Leave your identity disk at home, Tron, this dragon will use it as a toothpick. Or maybe as a shield against [[Prince Phillip|magical swords]]?--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 15:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry, but the prize goes to the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless. The only way for your vote to get it is that everyone else voted. Besides, you'll be immediently de-rezzed if you don't have your Identity Disk with you. That's a rule. ;) [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] 16:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
{{SilverCrono|time=19:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)|armor=So it's decided today, eh? Battle is the FA?}}
{{LightRoxas|card=Correct. If you want, I'll work on typing up the summary.}}

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:


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.
