Featured article nominations

Recruitment

This page lists all the nominations for Featured status. The Istruttori monitor this page and the voting process.

Featured is the highest level an article can achieve, and as such, it must meet certain requirements.

…be well-written and detailed.
…be unbiased, non-point of view.
…be sourced with all available references and appearances.
…follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other wiki policies.
…not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags.
…have a proper lead, with a undetailed résumé of the article's contents.
…have no more than 6 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
…have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
…provide at least one quote on the article.
…preferably include a "personality and characteristics" section on all character articles.
…include at least 2 images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
…preferably have a "behind the scenes" section where the info if available.
…pass review by the Istruttorium review panel.

If the article meets at least 5 of the prerequisites, the article is permitted to be held for nomination.

How to nominate:

First, nominate an article you find is worthy of Featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below.
Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is not good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
The article is placed on the Featured article list and categorized as such.
Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 Istruttore supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "Featured article."

How to vote:

Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
Please note that in order for your vote to count, you must have at least 50 mainspace edits.
1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
Once the article has at least five supporting Istruttori votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "Featured article." Although articles do not need regular users' votes to pass, non-Istruttori are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.

Also remember to add {{NomF}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

Featured Status Nominations

Destruction of the Great Chain - Yay

Nesty did not vote Nay so her vote is not accounted for. Overall, good article and worth FA Status. --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 01:40, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Vote closed

Although it is a rather brief article, I believe it is written to an FA standard and has some cool images to accompany it. I've attempted to do as much expansion as possible, though this event is just terse overall. Thanks for voting. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 06:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 06:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yay. Good work. Though I personally do not like the infobox picture or the Greek Fire one. Assassin-Rome ^{(Talk if you will)} 15:19, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Mmmmhmm. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 23:30, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Damn, I'm good at my procrastination but I had to vote eventually so why not now? :P --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 02:24, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Yep, everything's been cleared for me. =GuardDog 12:27, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

Comments

There was a lot of unnecessary information. The description of the Great Chain wasn't needed, that's what the link to its separate article is for. And the Aftermath section was far too detailed, I deleted most of that. Otherwise the rest of it is good, just one minor thing. In the Meeting with Yusuf Tazim section, it mentions Ezio and Yusuf discussing the bomb, yet the quote for that part is in the next section, making it a bit out of place. So a new quote is needed for the Destruction and escape section. Once that's done I'll vote Yay. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 13:39, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for that Blaidd. I just added the only quote from AC:R that is relevant to the Destruction and escape section. It's not great, but it's better than anything the novel could provide. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:38, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

I don't like it... But I won't vote nay unless I can figure out why I don't like it... Nesty ^{Contact me!} 22:15, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Fall of the Palaiologi - Yay

--Vatsa (talk • Gentek) 03:57, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Vote closed
Click [show] to view the votes and comments.

I've reworded and restructured most of the page, and added in some cool, HQ images to accompany it. I've also added, replaced, and revised some quotes. I believe the article is worthy of FA currently. Thanks for voting everybody. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:15, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:15, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yay from me. =GuardDog 14:15, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Yes. Very good. Assassin-Rome ^{(Talk if you will)} 15:48, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

I like it, I won't vote nay until I figure out what I don't like about it. XD --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 21:39, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

There were still quite a few things I needed to fix on it. Luckily I managed to pull myself away from Skyrim for this page. You should be very grateful. =P -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 14:48, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

~~The article doesn't seem right to me, I think it needs to be more detailed and specific in some areas. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 16:51, January 27, 2012 (UTC)~~

Comments

Well, it could be expanded in some areas such as the Confrontation with Manuel and the Destruction of Byzantine Weaponry could use a minor expansion along with the Aftermath which is only a minor expansion, don't go into too much detail with that. If this is done, I'll vote Yay. --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 19:30, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

~~In response to Blaidd and TST's comments, I have revised, expanded, and detailed the article. Please reconsider your votes guys. Thanks. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:34, January 27, 2012 (UTC)~~

Yusuf Tazim - Yay

And that is a wrap! --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 12:25, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I've written out most of his details since finishing Revelations. The article's not very long, but information seems complete, and it has a sufficient number of quotes and Vatsa's quality images. =GuardDog 09:44, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As nominator. =GuardDog 09:44, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Nay, oh wait... this is the Yay section. What am I doing here? Oo Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 18:31, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Where is his hookblade? --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 14:35, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

What is a hookblade? -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 14:46, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

A hook with a blade... or was it the other way around? O.o -- Nesty ^{Contact me!} 20:55, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Nope. See, it has two parts, a hook and a blade. --Vatsa (talk • Gentek) 03:57, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Dey hook, and dey blade. -- Master Sima Yi 09:38, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

Comments

Sofia Sartor - Yay

...Yeah, nothing clever to add. In fact, nothing at all to add. Except this one, which technically makes it "something to add." --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 12:25, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

~~Done a lot of stuff on this page. Made sure all's in there, more stuff, yadi yadi yada. Not much to add, really. And...that's all. --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 14:34, January 31, 2012 (UTC)~~

Yay

Hoo-RAH! --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 14:34, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

FUS RO DAH! Nesty ^{Contact me!} 20:57, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Blimey! --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 22:54, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Dees ees knowledge de world has lost, and must have again. -- Master Sima Yi 09:38, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Huzzah! =GuardDog 14:34, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

Comments

Ezio Auditore da Firenze - Yay

Guess i'm not the only person on this wiki's staff with a typo issue.. --Vatsa (talk • Gentek) 03:18, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Vote closed
Click [show] to view the votes and comments.

~~Revanped the page, especially rewording the Revelations/Embers info, which was a mess. I think it's good enough for FA now.. if you disagree, just let me know and I'll have another go at it.~~

Yay

As revamper/nominator Nesty ^{Contact me!} 15:47, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

That's it for me. =GuardDog 16:06, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

That Hot Chocolate was delicious by the way. --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 16:26, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yay. Assassin-Rome ^{(Talk if you will)} 14:12, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

I would like to sincerely apologize for the delay in my revoting; I did not even notice Guard's comment about the improvements until now. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 01:51, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

The wording needs to be improved, and some sentences and parts need to be trimmed and refined. Also, the spacing needs to be fixed as there are many long paragraphs that could be separated for a cleaner appearance. Lastly, the grammar could use some work. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 17:32, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

~~The later parts are much better now, but now I'm nitpicking the earlier ones :p Will vote after I finish my pass of rewording (...which may take a while). =GuardDog 14:09, February 2, 2012 (UTC)~~

Nos, could you please be more specific on where the needlessly lengthy paragraphs are? I cut them myself, and each paragraph's ideas seem to be grouped appropriately - though naturally, I could be wrong. =GuardDog 12:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't say needlessly lengthy, I just think that some more spacing could make the article easier to read and have a better appearance. For example, in the opening section in the paragraph "During his travels...," I believe that could be spread into two paragraphs at like "He ensured the future...." It might be an odd comment, but it's just my opinion on it, though you obviously know far better than I, Guard, so do what you feel is right; I just believe that the spacing could provide an easier-to-read appearance. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 22:41, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the input - seriously, it's a really long article, a lot of eyes on it is necessary :p I've gone over the spacing of what you mentioned, so hopefully it's better. =GuardDog 23:10, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Colosseum Passion Play - Yay

Yay-- --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 19:39, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've reworded and detailed most of the article. I've also cleaned up the infobox and expanded the opening section. Lastly, I also replaced the images previously there with new, HQ images provided by Vatsa. Thanks for voting. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:27, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 21:27, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, nothing to complain about. --Jack ^Walls_Supermen 17:35, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Yay from me. =GuardDog 12:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry Nesty but I believe it's fine. Good enough for Featured and good enough for a Yay vote from me! --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 05:45, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Yay. Much better. Assassin-Rome ^{(Talk if you will)} 15:23, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

I think I said this before, but the wording could be a lot simpler and easier to understand (keep in mind, English is not everyone's native language and we do want everyone to be able to read our articles). The amount of "difficult" words does not determine the quality of an article. The infobox image could be better, though the rest of the images are good. Some of the quotes don't really work, so you might want to have a look at that too. There were also some punctuation mistakes that will have to be taken care of, but I can do those myself when I have the time. That's all, I believe. Oh, and sorry for being so negative xD Nesty ^{Contact me!} 18:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

~~Though the article is much, much better, the infobox picture needs to be changed. Assassin-Rome ^{(Talk if you will)} 16:29, February 4, 2012 (UTC)~~

Personally, I think it's fine. Only the image is what needs changing to earn my vote. As Rome said, certainly much better then before. --Teller ^{Words, On my Screen :O} 20:58, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I've replaced the infobox image and have done some other things to the article. Please reconsider your votes, guys. Thanks. Nostalgia AC ^{Let's talk.} 22:12, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Francesco Vecellio - Voting

Another Project Legacy character with a detailed background, since he's mentioned in 5 different chapters. It was written out a while back, but I'm pretty sure the needed information and images are there. =GuardDog 11:45, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As nominator. =GuardDog 11:45, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
Looks good. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 13:41, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
Could use a higher-quality infobox image, but still a great article. --Nostalgia ^{Let’s talk.} 01:57, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

Shaun Hastings - Voting

Let's see... it's been a while since I nominated anything. I reworded the entire page, changed the sections, moved quotes to their proper positions. It also has good images and all the info we have on him. Let me know when you need something changed. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 13:41, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

As revamper/nominator. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 13:41, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Looks great. --Nostalgia ^{Let’s talk.} 01:57, February 23, 2012 (UTC)
Aaaahh this takes me back. First ever legit revamp. Thing has doubled in size since then, but just as awesome. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig ^{Enter... THE SCARY DOOR} 07:49, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Claudia Auditore da Firenze - Voting

Don't worry, I won't go on another mass-nomination spree that causes an aversion to voting for all of you... Not this time, at least. This page had its nomination coming for a long time, and just needed some minor things fixed (in my opinion, that is). Let me know what you think. Nesty ^{Contact me!} 10:17, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Yay
