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.
Failure to meet any one requirement results in cancellation 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-Istruttori are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.

Mass vote to remove article statuses
This is a mass vote to remove a number of articles which are marked FA, but fail to fulfill the requirements of the position. Quite honestly, I'm not sure a lot of these were even voted to the position (their votes are not in the archives). Without further ado, let's begin. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 11:11, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Viana - Voting
This article was FA, but was removed because Jasca Ducato and some other users didn't consider it good enough, so it was removed as FA. I done some minor rewording, added a better quote, and so on. It made it to FA before with great pictures, good quotes and well written information. It is worthy of FA. It deserves it. Romeh Speak now 18:19, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
Yay
- Same reasons above. Romeh Speak now 18:19, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
- I touched the article up a bit (adding some necessary links, etc.) and now I agree with Rome, it deserves FA. Let's hope it receives it. Nostalgia AC 22:04, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
- It can pass for FA. I would've preferred to have more information and pictures on the historical event, but that's not going to happen. -- Master Sima Yi 16:09, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Removed a few redundant links and reworded very slightly, but otherwise, it looks fine. No complaints from me. =GuardDog 06:34, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
Nay
- Hmm, well its very close to FA, it has everything an FA would need; information, images, sourcing, infobox, proper formatting, nice headers and of course well written, etc. But it doesn't seem to "flow" like an FA should. Its as if all the FA requirements have been gathered into a messy pile. It may just be me though, it is so close and deserves more than GA, but not quite FA. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig Enter... THE SCARY DOOR 05:26, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
- ^What he said. I don't know, it just doesn't mesh like an FA should. --Jack WallsinFamous 13:55, October 18, 2011 (UTC)
- --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 17:23, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
Comments
- The article had its FA status removed because it failed to fulfil the requirements for an FA article. This has not changed. Also, this "someone" you're referring to, which we both know is me, was not the only person to think this way, hence why the article was voted down. So quit it with the sly comments. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 17:23, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't refer to you directly because I had a feeling you would get defensive over that, in some way. Romeh Speak now 21:20, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
Daniel Cross - Yay

- Outstanding article. Nostalgia AC Let's talk 10:51, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
Nay
- I have to say Nay, as I found several sections of this article which had either very little information or needed expansion. There are also a few links that don't lead anywhere. Il Lupo 10:35, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Are you people serious? I found 23 spelling errors... but besides that I also think it could be worded much better. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig Enter... THE SCARY DOOR 00:20, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
- I happen to agree with both of you, links need fixing, spelling mistakes and some parts of the article that could be better, so it is a Nay from me, if these things could be improved then yes, I'd vote yay. Teller Words, On my Screen :O 00:27, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
Comments
- I have removed all double links, fixed the ones that led to a re-direct, etc. etc. I will look at the spelling errors and rewording after I've had breakfast. Nesty Wanna talk? 08:12, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
- It's lacking in behind the scenes details. I mean, the history section is extremely detailed, if messy, but a two paragraph ideologies section? Nowhere near enough IMO. --Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 17:27, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
@BlaiddDdraig: YES I AM SERIOUS. Why couldn't you have fucking fixed those TWENTY-THREE spelling errors while you were at it, instead of counting them, then mentioning it here so that someone else goes to fix them?! I've been working on that since last June, twenty-three spelling errors compared to the length of that article, is not something that had my utmost attention, strangely. -- Master Sima Yi 20:32, October 30, 2011 (UTC)- @Sima: Check my fucking edit to the page. I DID FIX those 23 spelling errors. And you nominated it for FA, you should have checked for those errors before doing so. You of all people should understand how perfect these articles have to be, and 23 errors is appalling, no matter how much of a small detail they are. So don't lose your fucking head and go off at me just because I told you my honest opinion. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig Enter... THE SCARY DOOR 06:24, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
I did not notice those errors, otherwise I would have fixed them. As if I purposely left them erroneous. Go get a nicer tone if you want to criticize someone's work. -- Master Sima Yi 06:31, October 31, 2011 (UTC)- Settled now, slight misunderstanding. For anyone who's curious, I wasn't criticising his work, I was just shocked and disappointed in all the Yay voters. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig Enter... THE SCARY DOOR 06:58, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

- I like trains. TLR Talk to meh 14:28, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
- Agreed. SubtlePen Up to chat? 14:36, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
- I LOVE TURTLES! -- Elchzard 14:58, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
- All necessary info, enough useful pictures, fitting quotes. Should be worthy enough. -- D. Cello 15:37, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

- Yo Yo Yay. Teller Words, On my Screen :O 08:19, October 28, 2011 (UTC)
- Did some minor work, as did Blaidd and I feel now it's truly FA status. Nostalgia AC Let's talk 01:03, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
Nay
- Wording needs a bit of work. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig Enter... THE SCARY DOOR 00:20, October 29, 2011 (UTC)
