The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wikisimpsons has to offer.
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...
- ...be well written and detailed
- ...be unbiased, from a neutral point of view
- ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
- ...follow the Manual of Style
- ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
- ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
- ...have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
- ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
- ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
- ...follow the rules in Project Characters if it is a character article.
For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.

How to nominate:
- First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
- 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).
- Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".
How to vote:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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".
- A user can only nominate one article a month.
- All nominations must be put at the bottom of the page.
Also remember to add {{nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
