Zeldapedia:Featured articles

Featured articles of Zeldapedia are articles that represent the best articles Zeldapedia has to offer.

Criteria
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must...


 * 1) ...be well written and detailed
 * 2) ...be unbiased and have a neutral point of view
 * 3) ...be factual and not incorporate theory presented as fact
 * 4) ...be properly sourced if controversial information is entered into it
 * 5) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. cleanup, expand, etc.)
 * 6) ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 7) ...have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it is a character article
 * 9) ...not be the subject of any ongoing edit wars

See here for a list of current featured articles on Zeldapedia. For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:Wikipedia's treatise on featured articles.

How to nominate an article

 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Also, add the nomination template to the top of the article you nominate.
 * 2) Certain users may object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they must then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources). If no reason is supplied, their vote will not be counted until they do this.
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.

How to vote

 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes. Edit and fix these if you have time.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination. (If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.)
 * 3) 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.
 * 4) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Eventually, the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the main page as featured, marked with the  template and removed from the list of nominations.

This article is very uninformitive.--Power courage wisdom and time 00:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Just because we've had one battle be a featured article means nothing about the merit of others that may be worthy of it as well. That's not really a legitimate reason to oppose any article from being named a featured article. The paragraphs can be broken down, but beyond that I see no other reason for objections really. Hero of Time 87 14:26, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The paragraphs have been broken up a bit in response to the thus far only legitimate objections to the article's standing. Hero of Time 87 14:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I want variety. But hey, if you want your own article featured, that's fine with me. --AuronKaizer 14:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Variety? This is about articles that are worthy of the title of featured article, regardless of whether or not they are similar or different.  Because it is a battle is not a legitimate reason to oppose it.  Hero of Time 87 15:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

D'oh, I messed up here. You see, I'm just used to how the FFWiki does stuff - the process we have in making featured articles is the same as what articles are to be featured on the frontpage. I seem to have gotten erroneous flicker of the brain and forgotten that it's different here. This is just for what articles deserve featured article status right? Excuse my semi-retardedness, I'll change my vote right away.
 * As has been said many times, this is not the Final Fantasy Wiki. If it is the FFWiki and its way of doing things you want, it's always open to you.  This is Zeldapedia, different series entirely.  And there is no reason for rudeness here.  Hero of Time 87 15:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's not what I just said. I just assumed, idiotically enough, that all Wikiprojects use the same process for featured articles as the FFWiki. I screwed up and apologize. Now just let it go.
 * Ah, ok. The way it sounded it could go more than one way.  But yes, it's based on content and informativeness.  If it is especially informative or very well put-together, then it should be considered for featured status.  Hero of Time 87 15:22, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Great Cataclysm
This is one of the most important events in the series due to all the lasting implications it leaves in several of the games, and I think the tale it tells as well as its importance could merit featured status. Hero of Time 87 19:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Hero of Time 87 19:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC) This is one of the most important wars in the series due to all the lasting implications it leaves in several of the games.  This, combined with the fact that this war is a favorite of most Zelda fans could in my opinion merit featured status, as did Zant's Invasion of Hyrule.

 * 8) ZeldaFanatic98 15:05, 3 February 2009 (UTC) it's a great informative read, so yeah.

Comments

 * 1) I'm really surpised that this topic hasn't already been a featured article, considering its importance to Hyrule's history.  Hero of Time 87 23:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't source stuff here Sheik. It just creates an unwanted atmosphere if we can't edit stuff in without sources. We should shy away from pretty much everything Wikipedia does, as it has proven to be a magnanimous failure. -- Auron  Kaizer Kennedy! 20:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

The Great Flood
Is a very good representation for the war, what came before it, and what came after it. It also is a brief summary of the plot of the Wind Waker. TatlTael 20:37, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Objections

 * 1) Not that it doesn't deserve to be a Featured Article, but this thing needs a MAJOR overhaul to make it even compare to the Zant's Invasion or Imprisoning War articles. This article is on the list to be revamped, but it doesn't have near enough content yet to merit it. I'd go with the Imprisoning War or one of the others over this one due to how scattered and how small this article is compared to the other major event articles. Hero of Time 87 00:47, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Too short. I don't really see anything deserving of featured article here. -- Auron  Kaizer  00:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) It's to short--

Comments
"To short"? What the hell does that even mean? Every bit of notable information about the character ever is in it, logic doesn't allow one to add information that does not exist to an article. Seriously, you want me to invent something fictional about him to expand the article then? -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 10:40, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
