118Wiki:Featured Articles

A featured article exemplifies our very best work and features high standards of writing and presentation. The content of a featured article should be of a standard where it can be held up as an example for people trying to develop other articles of a similar theme. It should have the following attributes:

1. It is well-written, comprehensive and accurate.
2. It has images and other media where they are appropriate to the subject, with succinct captions.
3. It includes links to other articles where appropriate.
4. It is of appropriate length, staying focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary detail.

• Support as Nominator: A break from the character bios! A good, informative piece that's still growing. Loads of information on there, a good example of a collaborative wiki piece. I think the layout is good, not too cluttered, you can use it for as little info or as much as you like. Hutch 07:25, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
• Support --Wolf /^{talk page} 13:56, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
• Comment: Red links and a lack of an image. Sadly, not aware of any images that are suitable. Would be a very welcome change from character bios though! - Lt. Salak^Talk 10:06, 1 July 2008 (EDT)
• Support - I agree with Hutch. It's a good example of a collaborative piece. I don't think that two red links should keep it from being a featured article - they can spur other members on to flesh out our knowledge about the area. Also, not every page needs a picture to be a featured article (in my humble opinion), particularly if there is no good picture available at the moment. Perhaps its featured status will encourage someone to create a good picture for the page? Karynn Ehlanii 21:26, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Featured Article Review

This section is for the re-evalution of existing Featured Articles, in the event that an existing Featured Article is felt to fall below the expected standards. Please use constructive comments to suggest improvements to articles listed here. An article that fails a Review will lose its Featured Status. An article can not fail unless there is a majority of two supporting demotion. As retention is preferred to removal, please change your vote if the article has improved sufficiently.
