Final Fantasy Wiki:Votes for Featured Articles

From Final Fantasy Wiki

Archives

Here's where you can nominate and vote on articles to be featured on the front page.

  • To nominate, simply write your nomination under the Nominees section and sign your posts. A nomination is equal to a vote, and it's one nomination per person.
  • To vote, simply sign with # ~~~~ under the nominees to symbolize your support. You can vote for as many as two nominees at a time. You can always change it at anytime, until the selection date.
  • Once a nominee is selected, we'll clear the nominees section to start a clear slate. You can nominate the same article again one month later. We call it a transition period.
  • You can give your Comments in the section below, but any claims of supporting a nominee does not count until you sign under the Nominees section. Take care!
  • Diablocon has the final say in things: he's in charge of the featured articles. Uweeheehee.


Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks
TALK - 11:46, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Rules:
  1. You may only begin voting when there are at least 5 nominations up.
  2. You must have 150 mainspace or image edits before you can nominate.
  3. Whenever an article from a game is featured, it is striked off this list, meaning articles from that game can no longer be featured this year.
  • I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII
  • FFIVA, FFX-2, FFXII:RW, FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, FFCC, FFCC:RoF, FFCC:MLaK

Here are some things to consider when nominating:

  • Is the article detailed enough?
  • Does it have red links or links to disambigs? If so, can they be fixed?
  • Does the article have enough images? Does it look nice?

If your article has any problems with the above criteria, please either refrain from nominating it or fix it up so it is up to scratch. Remember that the Featured Article is representing the best this wiki has to offer, not just a popularity contest.

If your nomination has no votes after being up for four days, you may remove it and still use it next month. However, this offer is only good for the next four days, afterwards your nomination stays (day limits are subject to change until I can find good lengths).

[edit] January '10

  1. Dawn of a new year, the villain from the dawn of an awesome series...This should knock down all competition! VoidCommanderExdeath 21:46, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  • Phoenix (Summon) - New year... rebirth... I'm sure u can find sense in it somewhere  ILHI (W/B) 14:27, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. Kuzlalala 09:16, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  2. 8bit 16:16, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  3. AleXAlibur 16:45, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  4. Violetmage♥13:45, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
  • Ultimecia - A well made article, with lots of detail and images. Plus she is such an underrated villain that people should learn about her before slating her. Jeppo (Talk) 15:12, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. - Henryacores^ 20:18, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  2. I was going to nominate Exdeath again, but him and Ultimecia pretty much fall into the same boat. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 21:02, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  3. She was an awesome villian, and she had the most forms out of any final boss in the main series, plus had 3 battle themes. She even has an awesome Dissidia Character than only succeeded in doubling her badassness. MadHatter1284 21:06, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  4. Ah, what the hell. By far one of my least-liked article but why not? Drake Clawfang 21:13, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  5. Bad villain. Good article. - Paramina 20:50, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  6. Shameless self promoting....go Ulti. Netherith 08:38, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
  7. Terra_Homing 04:41, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
  1. - Henryacores^ 20:18, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  2. 8bit 16:16, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
  • Blizzard - Well, it's gonna be winter, so why not. Plus, Winter Olympics people! (IN MY PROVINCE! =D) JohnnyC 22:05, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. It actually makes sense and the article is good.--Red Mage 17:49, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
  2. I just plain don't like ultimecia.--BigCubby 17:51, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
  • Final Fantasy VI - Why haven't this article been a FA yet? VII one and it the only Main Series game that been a FA. And I think it a really good article, so why not? ZEROX (C) 23:45, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

Woah, that '10 looks weird. New year, new slate. Diablocon 10:43, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I actually wasn't sure about nominating Garland, since in Final Fantasy he doesn't give much to work with for an article. But I expanded and restructured it as best I could, and think it turned out alright. Drake Clawfang 11:46, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Potion (Energy Drink) was suggested twice. FaythOfFenrir 16:05, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

So it was. Doesn't necesarilly mean it's right. The rules aren't very clear...  ILHI (W/B) 16:11, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
The rules state that "You can nominate the same article again one month later." It's one month later now, isn't it? Jeppo (Talk) 16:51, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
But Diablo said you can't vote the same article twice in a row however long ago. Also I think that's obvious enough to not need to be in the rules.  ILHI (W/B) 18:58, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I actually really wanted to nominate FF7 Snowboarding because of the Olympics, but that article will never become anything but puny. JohnnyC

Ah, damn, I missed the nomination period - wanted to try Basch out again ("Basch lives!"). Oh well. Anyway, was considering voting for Battle of the Gardens as it really is a good article, but I'd never noticed how good the Ultimecia article is. Surprisingly so. So it gets the vote, methinks. - Paramina 20:50, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Hm, two of my articles nominated. Seems I've been doing something right. Netherith 08:38, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] December '09

  • One-Winged Angel - Who doesn't remember the Christmas tale of three travelers following an angel to the site where they witness the birth of a god? Okay, the Meteor-apocalypse thing was kinda left out, but still. Drake Clawfang 01:11, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. One of the best themes ever--BurstDragon 19:40, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Because I'd love to see a music article featured and this is probably our best one - Paramina 21:36, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  3. Kuzlalala 12:38, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
  4. DieKorruption
  5. Faethinte audio : Qvi mortem inuitauit poena fvnesta natvs. Noli nomen uocare. Ille itervm ueniet.
  6. Biggs and Wedge 06:06, November 12, 2009 (UTC)I love this song, all the versions of it
  7. For lulz. Also because there are more lulz if someone else chips in and we have a tie. 8bit 20:07, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
  8. Great featured article material.FaythOfFenrir 20:24, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
  9. Tie breaker vote, because 8bit should know better. Diablocon 10:54, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. PLUSHIES :D 8bit 19:44, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  • Galbana - Please look closely to this article, it seems perfect. I love that moments. Alexalibur 17:16, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. Actually I think that this article deserve it well, I like it!! Regoli 18:48, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
  1. Violetmage♥13:40, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
  2. +DeadlySlashSword+ 01:03, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
  3. OWA is a tempting vote, but Shiva fits the month better (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), and kinda ties in to the scenery of the winter holidays. Hoogathy 03:46, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
  4. Agreeing with the previous vote. Tis' that time of the year, and Shiva fits perfectly, as well as has a lengthy article with nice info to pack it up. MadHatter1284 00:24, November 9, 2009 (UTC)
  5. Ultima The High Seraph 19:56, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
  6. Kyrel 16:44, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
  7. Cuz I disliek OWA with a passion.  ILHI (W/B) 20:25, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
  8. Shiva's perfect! -Freelancer Jay
  • Omega (Enemy) - I would like to have a giant death-machine for Christmas. ZEROX (C) 16:51, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
  • Balthier - Okay, Basch didn't work, maybe the so-called Leading Man will win where the Judge fail. ---- TenzaZangetsu 1 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Final Fantasy I - With Dissidia being released and being the 20th aniverisary, I think this article would be perfect! NeoBahamut

[edit] Comments

Nope, can't think of anything that happens in December.
Also, as Drake pointed out last month, we had more nominations than votes. Please refrain from adding more nominations once we hit five nominations. I can't stop you from adding, but please use common sense and don't flood the nominations. Diablocon 00:43, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

A whole lot of good the warning did Diablo...

As much as I like the Galbana article, I think there's too much white space. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I think it needs a little bit more work before it can be FA. Maybe too many images? I don't know. - Paramina 21:36, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

To be fair Paramina, this year we had a music FA for January. Drake Clawfang 22:37, November 1, 2009 (UTC)
Noted, but I still think the OWA article is the strongest of the music articles. Character articles are repeated often enough and that's not a big deal, so music isn't, is it? - Paramina 22:43, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

No offense Madhatter but I do not really think you made a strong case for Clash on the Big Bridge being a featured article. It seemed you like you were just spewing your dislike for OWA rather than focusing on the actual quality of the article. Your nomination reminded more of something that I would see in the DNC. --Oranejo 01:24, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

It seems you're in luck, then. He did not have the 150 mainspaice or image edit minimum required to nominate a FA, so his nomination was removed. - +DeadlySlashSword+ 01:33, November 3, 2009 (UTC)
I didn't quite understand that "mainspace/image edits." thing. I really needed to let off steam at that overrated song at the moment though. FFVII really gets me mad these days. MadHatter1284 01:51, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

^ I get mad much more than you. I'm choosing the galbana because i want to get out of the VII, VIII and others. Alexalibur November 6, 2009 (UTC)

Well, Galbana might have worked... if anybody really gave a damn about Revenant Wings. MadHatter1284 19:27, November 11, 2009 (UTC)
Love how he mentioned "getting out of VII" when the last FF7 FA was August last year. Drake Clawfang 19:43, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

NeoB, the 22st Anniversary is perfect? Drake Clawfang 23:37, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I was thinking towards the American Final Fantasy release...but still, the original Final Fantasy for the December FA would be great, it was released in December, we haven't had Final Fantasy as an FA before, and besides, this is the game that started it all.--The God of Death 20:18, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Is there anything about being allowed to vote redirects in the rules? Fail.  ILHI (W/B) 20:23, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

BiggsandWedge shouldn't be allowed to vote because all of his edits went to his talkboxes and his roleplaying.--GrammarMan 13:23, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

That's not too much of a big deal, honestly. - Henryacores^ 15:42, November 24, 2009 (UTC)
Lolz --Biggs and Wedge
Wow, GrammarMan, what an idiotic statement. FaythOfFenrir 00:45, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that Shiva has a stub thing in its article and one winged angel is overall a pretty small weak article.--GrammarMan 18:11, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

No one cares. The content of the article has no relevance to why we vote for/nominate them.  ILHI (W/B) 19:08, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
Considering it gives several samples and full lyric listings, I'm curious as to how you think OWA is a "small, weak" article. As for Shiva, the article as a whole is complete, the only stub part is the BC info, which sadly most summons have. Drake Clawfang 19:21, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] November '09

  1. I'm so going to vote for this nomination! Kuzlalala 11:02, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
  2. "Basch lives!" I'd be very happy if this made FA. Very happy. - Paramina 13:05, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
  3. 終わりの始まり 23:01, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
  • Shinryu - I'm trying again to make Shinryu a featured article. Come on, he a badass dragon, so why not? ZEROX (C) 22:45, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
  1. I like this. The forgotten superboss that got unfairly overshadowed by Omega Weapon. JohnnyC
  1. This gets my vote. Without Sakaguchi, there would be no Final Fantasy, so he deserves a little attention. --Hoogathy 03:30, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Happy Birthday from Final Fantasy Wiki --BurstDragon 06:39, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
  3. Sakaguchi for president... or king or something that would rock --Biggs and Wedge 15:54, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
  4. Yeah! Wery good point. (Sorry for the intentional typo) Finalfreakfantasy 14:34, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
  5. Where would we be without him? He gets my vote! MadHatter1284 15:47, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
  6. I owe you my life, no, seriously :p -- Kyrel 17:41, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
  • Final Fantasy Why not the original. Better than people always focusing on VII. 1stclasswarrior 16:05, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
  • Gabranth "Silence!" Nominating for no apparent reason. -- Silver Mage 10:59, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
  • Silence! Nomination for no apparent reason.  ILHI (W/B) 16:36, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Well here in Britain there's Guy Fawkes day, don't know what Americans celebrate in November though. Diablocon 08:30, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

They celebrate Thanksgiving. Kuzlalala 09:56, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
And Remembrance Day. Legend of Fantasy 21:10, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason, why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Err... To go with the Bonfire Night theme, I would have said Fire but it's already been done. I would've said Flare but it isn't Featured Article-quality. Jeppo (Talk) 21:19, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
That wasn't V's speech in V for Vendetta? ---- TenzaZangetsu 1 October 2009 (UTC)
No. It's the traditional rhyme uttered at Bonfire Night. I was taught that when I was a kid, that rhyme. Jeppo (Talk) 21:27, October 1, 2009 (UTC)
Oh, okay ---- TenzaZangetsu 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I thought about nominating Guy, but I decided not to. I don't care about FAs really.  ILHI (W/B) 16:37, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

I was gonna nominate Malboro, but it needs expanding in some areas. Drake Clawfang 19:32, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Vote for Shinryu,and if he wins,then he is gonna roast turkey for us when its Thanksgiving.. ._. Hitherelol

I was gonna nominate pages other than Gabranth, but all that I wanted to nominate were already made into featured articles...=/ -- Silver Mage 08:20, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

We should make a note of this - nine nominations, and the one in the lead has only two votes. Drake Clawfang 05:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

  1. I agree! Hojo would be an awesome article! --CLOUD 02:48, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

  • Deathgaze - Well that sucks, fine I'll try Deathgaze, a flying bat skull sound scary enough to be a October Featured Article. I'll just try Shinryu again next mouth. ZEROX (C) 23:04, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
  • Potion (Energy Drink) - cosplay and scary once you taste it. Netherith 07:41, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

October is a spooky month! Diablocon 11:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Why? Jeppo (Talk) 15:48, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
Cuz the 29th is my birthdayThe last day of the month?  ILHI (W/B) 16:02, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
Hallowe'en? That's not spooky. It's just some kids dressing up in stupid costumes, and knock on some poor sods' doors begging for sweets. What's so spooky about that? Jeppo (Talk) 16:11, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
If I respond to this, master ILHI will scold me. --Silver Mage 09:30, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
I love that day, getting candy in costumes. Too bad I've only experienced it once in my life. Kuzlalala Squee! 08:28, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Isn't Hojo spooky? --Silver Mage 09:30, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

If they want spooky,then try Scarmiglione. Its sooo ugly and scary. But unfortunatly they HAD to vote for Rosa. Scarmiglione would have been perfect for this. Anyways,no good nominates yet. User: Hitherelol
What are you talking about? Rosa was featured months ago. Drake Clawfang 23:40, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Trick or treat, I'll get your feet... —BfD (talk·contribs) Confirm deletion|17:01, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Birthdays in October: Quistis Trepe(4th), Vincent Valentine(13th), Terra Branford(18th) Netherith 07:54, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
