Featured article nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best the Ratchet & Clank Wiki has to offer. For previously featured articles see the archive.

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, non-point of view
  3. ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
  4. ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
  5. ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
  6. ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
  7. ...have a succint proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
  8. ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
  9. ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
  10. ...be a reasonably long article. Articles that are not long enough might be applicable for good article status instead.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.

How to nominate:

  1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
  2. 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).
  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.
  5. Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
  2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
    1. 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".

Also remember to add {{nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

The first of every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the {{featured}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

  • The ToD section could do with some minor work, and the last few sections could be reordered perhaps but that's not enough to stop it from being an FA. Great article, thanks to all who helped make it into an FA. Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 18:09, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Noticed that some tense fix is needed. I'll remove my vote and revote when it's fixed. I'd appriceate help. :) HiQuTalk to me!--I'm Watching Vandals 13:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Fixed basicly by Hunterj. HiQuTalk to me!--I'm Watching Vandals 17:03, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
  • It isn't completely fixed, and until it is we don't have an FA... Hunterj Hunterj's Resort 11:54, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

  1. How can you nominate THAT? That is a poor article with no detailed information on the subject whatsoever. I think it should be nominated for Improvement Drive.Yaquez 18:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Now it is marked with an improvement tempalte so cannot be FA but it is no longer a 'copy edit' article. Hunterj Hunterj's Resort--I'm Watching Vandals! 11:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
