Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

Currently Nominated

Goron

And the prize for most improved article goes to...
The improvement in this article, even in as little as the last 3 months, is admirable and a credit to the hard work of all who've contributed. It's gone from a stub with an article about Gorons in TP sandwiched in the middle, to a well-rounded article which meets all of the above criteria. A fine example of what we can all achieve!

1. One or two more references couldn't hurt this article, but I have to agree with Adam on this article. Each and every section of this article is very detailed and lengthy. Now to fix the Zora article... --Felicia's Champion 23:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
2. This article has been in the fixing for awhile, and I believe it now has enough information to be featured. I do agree with Felicia's Champion, it could use a few more references, though.User:Steven/sig 23:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
3. With the new reference work done to this article, I'd love to see this thing become featured. Do it! User:Ando/sig 01:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
4. I dare say that it has enough references to become a featured articles. Few sections could use a few more references, but all is good. The Goron Moron 04:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
5. I have long pushed for the improvement of this article. Almost since I joined. I'm very happy to see it finally get to this level. It really shows what we can do when we work together. The article is nice and detailed. An amazing accomplishment.User:Matt/sig 21:55, January 31, 2009 (UTC)
6. Appears to be a detailed and well-written article. As previously stated, a few more citations wouldn't hurt, but this page is already more than worthy. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 05:50, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
7. This article is definitely worth being featured. Nice amount of references, good quality, and totally feature worthy.User:Mandi/sig 06:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
8. This is our next featured article, The writing is finally consistent and the larger sections are nicely sectioned by their relative topics. More screenshots would be nice, especially of the locations, but that's minor.User:Axiomist/sig 17:49, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
9. Seems very nice too me. Lots of information in there in reference to all the games, some good screenshots, and plenty of references. User:Italiangenius91/sig 23:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

• With more references, I'd be glad to vote for this -- as it is now, though, I just can't bring myself to. However, it's still excellent so I can't oppose. User:Ando/sig 20:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Vote withdrawn by voter. User:Ando/sig 01:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
• Well written is a joke. It sounds like an 8 yr old on a rant. 'they can walk through lava and roll in balls and have strenght and power.' Stuff like that is all over the page. But it is shaping up and I want to support it. I worked on it a little but I have no more aspirins.User:Axiomist/sig 02:00, 13 February 2009 (UTC)*voter now supportive.

Rauru

I believe that Rauru is very worthy of receiving featured article status. Although it is a bit short, it is very well-written and thorough. It properly sources it's information, and the images are of high-quality. This page needs your vote! —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 21:23, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
