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...

1. ...be well written and detailed
2. ...be unbiased, from a neutral point of view
3. ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
4. ...follow the Manual of Style
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 succinct 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. ...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:

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 to 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".
5. A user can only nominate one article a month.
6. 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.

• Rest of the article seems fine but the appearences section is incomplete. Josegiraffio 19:21, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
• The Strongest Support Ever! TheSimpsons ^Talk 00:53, August 8, 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. A great, great article and since he is not well known would draw people's attention. - 68.42.65.64 00:50, July 4, 2010 (UTC) Oops, forgot to sign in. - ThePlatypus 00:55, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

@thesimpsonsrock: He only was in 2 episodes and a comic book, so you shouldn't expect it to be so long, but seeing how long it is for those appearances is an accomplishment. - ThePlaypus

A great, massive article. It is one of the best on the wiki and should be featured. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 08:37, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Springfield Nuclear Power Plant softball team

Probably as big as a team featured in a single episode can get. It took a lot of work, but I'm quite proud of the number of images in this one too. -- Brian McClure 20:48, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

• Could this possibly be a featured article actually? It has great length and detail, even for a comprehensive article. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 05:21, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • I was thinking that. I would support it ----- It's Magic - Kingcjc 20:20, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
  • I was also thinking the same thing. Its size is more befitting of featured instead of comprehensive status. And seeing all the support it's gotten here, we can just forego the featured article process and go ahead and promote it to that status. (We can possibly even make it next month's featured article.) TheUnderfaker 14:51, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Should I just cut and paste this onto the featured article nominations then? ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 15:10, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Yeah. TheUnderfaker 15:24, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
