Zeldapedia:Featured articles

Featured articles of Zeldapedia are articles that represent the best articles Zeldapedia has to offer. For articles to be featured on the Main Page, see /Queue. For previously featured articles, see Zeldapedia:Previous featured articles.

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.

 * 6) --By my observations, the article currently has one descriptive paragraph, two spoiler paragraphs, two non-canonical manga paragraphs, and five paragraphs of speculation. Definitely not featured article status.  Baltro  [  talk  ] 04:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * 9) --This article really isn't that fantastic. There's not enough info known about the mask, so much of it is simply theory that can't be proven. I say we wait on this one. User:Light and Shadow 20:20, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) Nothing against the actual article, it's good, but there just isn't enough factual information on the mask to write an article worthy of being featured. Jedi Master Link

Comments
This article is very uninformitive.--Power courage wisdom and time 00:11, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think that using this as a featured article could expand the article and make it as informative as it needs to be.--TheFates 1 0:24 29 April 2008
 * It's as informative as it can be, there just isn't much to inform on.

Agahnim (A Link to the Past)
An easy-to-read, complete character biography, with illustrations and a battle strategy section. I think should get the nod BY FAR, considering some of your past choices. -- Auron  Kaizer  17:46, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 2) I just, like HATE it!

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)


 * 1) Again with the length issues!!! Why does a featured article need to be long anyway?!?!?!?!?!Midna Rocks

 * 1) Its a pretty good article, I like it myself.  Uber  Phoeb a b c 19:02, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Very good, clean article. Of course, I cleaned it up some, but the source material which I kept is still good and informative. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 23:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I like this article. Its nice. Thats probable because i like zant.
 * 4) This article should get featured status. Zant is one of the most awesom characters on TP! Zeldamaniac95
 * 5) I think it deserves the title. it seems well put together and has alot of info User:Twilitlink
 * 6) This is very well written and easily holds my attention. Gbadude3
 * 7) An excellent article for an excellent character. User:Awesomeguy
 * 8) A good page about an interesting character. Hevehoc 10:01 5 April (CET)
 * 9) I believe that Zant deserves some recognition since he is a very unique character and has a very interesting backstory User:991807

 * 15) Oh Mr. Cool Mask. You rock. User:Marou239
 * 16) I vote for Zant.User:Zelda phoenix

 * 18) Of course. PhantomGanonUsurper27 (talk) 23:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Objections

 * 1) --Power Wisdom Courage and Time
 * 2) This one gets a definite no from me. --- The King of the Loveless
 * 3) I can't stand Zant. No.
 * 4) worse than tingle DRTJR (talk) 03:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I'll give some meaningful objection; Zant's one appearance doesn't give us enough information to write a featured article. Now, we could've spammed the biography section with the entire outline of TP's plotline, but we didn't (which is good). I'll try cleaning this up and possibly swing my vote in favor of promotion. Oh, and if you want to see how this could be made into a featured article, click here. That is very impressive.  Baltro  [  talk  ·  edits  ] 02:33, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Would you type in why you are opposing this, please? Solar flute 23:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

All the opposition is invalid, 2 didnt give reasons and I think you are supposed to sign it.

At least say why you oppose so people can fix it. And not liking zant isn't much of a reason to oppose. Midna Rocks

Seven Sages
It's in great condition, and the aligned images make it quite the eye-candy, no?  Baltro [  talk  ] 23:26, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) No— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 01:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) this is the worst article ever! why was this even nominated?!?! -- C 2  Phantom Zant.png 18:27, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Image placement needs some work, but knowing how swiftly the FA process works, I'll be back fulltime to fix it in time. Still though, pretty good - but lacks focus, as well. --Auron  Kaizer !  22:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I like it. My only question is does the section on Princess Zelda need to be so long? It has all the stuff about Link opening the door and Ganondorf shattering the Triforce; shouldn't this page just focus on Zelda's role as a Sage? Anyone who wants to can get a much more detailed version of said events on the OoT page or even the Great Cataclysm page, though that's labeled as theory. Other than that, which doesn't necessarily have to be changed as I was just wondering and there is probably some reason to refute my point, it is an excellent article. Light and Shadow (talk) 11:39, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I also like it. The pictures are good and the articles are short. it's fun for everyone! Katamariqueen (talk) 20:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Highroller1 supports it! You must too!

Comments
Are you being sarcastic, or are you really opposing in the support section?  Baltro [  talk  ] 01:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sarcasm, my friend— Triforce   14 [[Image:Triforce4.png|link=Special:Contributions/Triforce 14|15px]] 02:00, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

i already voted! bleh :P!! -- C 2   22:38, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Dark Link
This has been looking pretty good for awhile now, so I worked on adding images, and I think it's worthy of being a featured article.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 22:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
