All past featured article nominations.

Trappuccino

I would like to nominate Trappuccino for a featured article. It is a very detailed article on the events that happened in the film and it looks like a very good, well written article. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 10:29, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, i never even we knew of this article until someone edited Spider-Pig with it, but even then i didn't know how detailed it was.--Sgtcook (My Talk Page) 12:42, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Good idea for featured article this month. >DohAyeCarumbaDoh

Frank Grimes

Well-detailed article, and (since I have been here) not featured yet. Jessica98sites 04:49, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

1. I like it, would be good featured article. >DohAyeCarumbaDoh
2. Since the article has been cleaned up, I have changed my mind. However, I think that Marge Simpson really should come first. It is a lot better than this article. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 17:33, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

4. Agreed Alexandersig 18:51, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

1. All articles should be written with an in-universe point of view. Frank Grimes is not. A good character article should have all features of Project Characters. Frank Grimes still has a way to go. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 06:15, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

• Remember, strength of argument beats number of votes. It doesn't fit in with the above policies on a featured article so therefroe it shall not pass and can not be featured. ☆The Solar Dragon ^(Talk)☆ 06:19, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

#Although very detailed and has a great long list of appearances, I think this list still needs work.

Not clean enough. Didn't I clean this article already? There's too much of the article written in out-of-universe context.Ldude893 06:04, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Where? I've looked through the article and found no out-of-universe content apart from the Behind the Scenes section (which I've explained below). Please tell me where the out-of-universe text is and I'll sort it out. Thanks!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   14:51, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

The only part of the article which isn't in-universe is the "Behind the Scenes" section, where it explains how the character was created and designed. That doesn't need to be in-universe style. If anybody can inform me of any other sections which aren't in-universe, I'd be grateful as I can go and fix it. Thanks!    Effluvium    talk    contributions    email   20:05, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

This article is fine. There is no point in having an opposition because it's been fixed up. It deserves to be featured, and with opposition it can't. So is there any reason that is is opposed? Unless somebody says so, no. - 68.42.65.64 13:46, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

You're right about the article being fine now, but if I recall the procedure correctly, the person who stated the opposition also has to be the one who withdraws it. So right now we're waiting to hear from Ldude. For this month, though, it's a moot point as Ralph will mostly likely get the featured article nod due to having more votes. -- Mythigator 06:18, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Ldude. -- Mythigator 17:05, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Cecil Terwilliger

Cecil has always been overshadowed by Bob, but hopefully not for a chance at being featured article! This article is huge if you remember how he was in 2 episodes, a cameo in one, and a comic.

• I personally don't think it matters if it is long as long as it is a good article. This article is a good article, and I'd like to see people who oppose to it write one longer. - ThePlatypus 20:41, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

I know it is good for a minor character like that but look at the length on the Featured article section of the main page. It is about the same length of the whole article so sorry, but it won't be featured. The Solar Dragon 21:02, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Can I nominate a new featured article this month now? - ThePlatypus 17:15, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

No. You have to wait until next month. The Solar Dragon 17:34, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
