The Featured Bio Contest is an opportunity to recognize our existing members as well as to inspire prospective members to examine our group and join in on the fun. Furthermore, the contest endeavors to encourage current members to explore the SB118 Wiki and learn more about their fellow members and the adventures others have been having across the fleet.

Overview

This Month's Featured Bio:
Captain Della Vetri

Each month, the Featured Bio Contest Team reviews nominated character biographical wiki articles and selects those that meet the contest's minimum selection criteria to be showcased as Featured Nominees.

At the end of the month, one winning article will be selected from these Featured Nominees to become the Featured Bio of StarBase 118 on both the SB118 Wiki main page and through the Newsies, Reporter, and Publicity Teams. In addition, both Featured Nominees and Featured Bio winners are granted use of special badges that they can then add to their bios.

Display of the badges is at the discretion of the individual author, although examples of badge placement are available in the Featured Bio Contest Tutorials.

Rules and Minimum Selection Criteria

How to Nominate an Article

See someone's bio on the wiki that you think deserves to be featured on the main page and through our publicity and news teams? Then simply reply to the current month's nominations thread with a link to the article in the Featured Bio Contest forum! If it's your own article, we'll get in touch with you via private messaging. If you're nominating someone else, let us know their forum handle so that we can send them a private message to see if they approve of the nomination.

Before you nominate an article, please ensure that it meets (to the best of your own judgement), the minimum selection criteria for the contest. In particular, make sure that your nominated article meets the following rules:

  1. Nominated articles must be of a player character played by a current and active member.
  2. Nominated articles must be either a primary or secondary player character. PNPCs are ineligible.
  3. All information in the article must be curent as of the submission date.
