Assassin's Creed Wiki:Featured Article Nominations
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.
An article must…
- …be well-written and detailed.
- …be unbiased, non-point of view.
- …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
- …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on ACWiki.
- …following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
- …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
- …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
- …have no more than 3 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
- …have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
- …not have been previously featured on the Main Page. Otherwise, it can only be restored to featured status.
- …be completely referenced for all available material and sources.
- …have all quotes and images sourced.
- …provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
- …include a "personality and characteristics" section on all character articles.
- …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
- …have a "behind the scenes" section when the info is available
- …pass review by the Istruttorium review panel.
If the article meets at least 6 of the pre-requisites, 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; see criteria above. Note that a previously featured article cannot be featured on the Main Page again; however, it can be restored to featured status.
- Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is 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 added to the front page queue.
- Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 3 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 50 mainspace edits.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under, if possible. Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid.
- 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 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 - Voting
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

- 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 - Voting
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
