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.
Failure to meet any one requirement results in cancelation or holding of vote process until requirements can be achieved. Articles in vote with 3 or more FA traits missing results in vote annulment.
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-Inquisitors are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.
Also remember to add {{NomF}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
EDIT: @D. Cello -> I tried to add this one but not enough room. I think we have enough pictures.--PhantomT1412 11:00, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
One or more pictures could be a nice addition too -- D. Cello 20:03, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
Edit @ Phantom -> I see, there are more now... maybe add a Behind the Scenes section and that picture could be put there.. -- D. Cello 16:10, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
Failure to meet enough Istruttori votes. Quoting Reqυiem: "Clean it up and try again."

--Good format, many good pictures, well maintained, and no red links -- Spoonodeath 03:28, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
Yay
Spoonodeath 04:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)-- got rid of all red links, was able to create a page on Zaragoza, but couldn't find any information anywhere about Pedro, the only results i got for the name anywhere was that he was a Spanish Soccer Coach. @Spoon: then add the info of the game and tag it as stub article -- D. Cello 03:14, February 16, 2010 (UTC) @D. Cello: I did it! ^_^ Spoonodeath 15:31, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
Featured articles can't have redlinks. The pictures... it could use a Battle of Forli picture and an arrest and execution of the family too. Ideal would be at least one picture per session -- D. Cello 17:42, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
Some of the sections are still a little rough, existence of red links. Clean it up and try again. -- Reqυiem 21:51, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

--The article has improved greatly, and Ezio is just about the most important character in the entire AC series. No redlinks, HEAPS of pictures and a ton of information. Plus it has all the things asked for when it was rejected.The eagle 10:55, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
Its worthy of being a Featured Article but why is there 2 Ezio Sections?
Nay
Far from the most important (it's your personal oppinion), and the article is going through massive changes. When it stabilizes, we can promote it. -- D. Cello 03:59, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
I'll have to agree with D.Cello, this article is likely to get radical changes within the year since the new game will come out, I think it's best to wait it out. a Lunatic 06:51, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
Once AC:Brotherhood is released, big changes are going to happen, especially Ezio, so lets just wait it out a bit War Clown 08:05, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
Not to mention that every few days someone will change his picture and gallery. I agree with the rest, the new game will cause multiple changes towards his article. Thief talk 02:49, July 25, 2010 (UTC)
Well, I think there is nothing to add... --PhantomT1412 19:56, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
Definitely is worthy of being a featured article, but it can always be made better just remember that. ^_^ --Spoonodeath 11:17, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
I think it should pass. More can be added in the future yes, but so far it's in good condition. When we gather more information about Malik, we will add it to the article. --Altaïr 21:56, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
All known information is shown there in an organized way, couldn't be better. -- Master Sima Yi 11:37, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
Nay
To me, I think the article needs a wee bit longer, but hey, it will do Kell65 05:54, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
i agree with jasca the article is very well written and has alot of info about a character that didnt have show up many times..i vote yes. DanMan7308 17:54, August 31, 2010 (UTC) DanMan7308
Article is simple, yet very informative. Images look good. This page looks complete, and most likley will not need very major edits as Giovanni will be gone in Brotherhood. Yay. :D The Thief 22:26, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
I say Nay, because there's gonna be a lot of changes to the page. Brotherhood, the Fall. Not to mention, Lost Legacy. So let's just wait it out a bit :D --WarClownWanna Talk? 10:39, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
First Timeline Article to be nominated for featured status. Sourced, intricately written, abundant on great images, and little to no errors. According to the Timeline Project hub, we aim to make these articles good enough to attain featured status. This is the closest as of the moment. --Jacques le BlancReception Area 12:13, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
If I'm allowed to vote - I vote Yay. This page has been expertly executed, has great images and is a very informative read. Everything an article should be really. Sick-steeN 12:45, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
