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.

Featured article nominations

Moe Szyslak's bar rag

A pretty lengthy article for a bar rag. Full history and quote too. I think it looks good. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 16:48, 30 January 2012 (EST)

Support (2)

1. I do, indeed, like this article. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 01:59, 20 March 2012 (EDT)
2. I didn't care much for the episode, but the article is well-done and an offbeat topic to boot. Definitely worth featuring. -- Mythigator 08:50, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

World War II

Quite long, all it needs is a few images. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 06:30, 16 February 2012 (EST)

Support (0)

Neutral (0)

Oppose (2)

1. Appearances incomplete for one. No images for two. I also feel that there is more information to be added. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:23, 24 February 2012 (EST)
2. I agree, Solar. --Fred (Talk • Contribs.) 09:59, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Comments

• Also, without an image would be a defeated reason for making it featured. --Fred (Talk • Contribs. • Editcount) 04:08, 28 April 2012 (EDT)

Movementarianism

Good long article. All complete. ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 14:42, 2 March 2012 (EST)

The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Great article that's only been around for a few weeks! Deserves to be featured, even Randomno said so! Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 11:34, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Support (2)

1. I feel that this section has come a long way, it's pretty much 99% completely functional besides some late game building costs. Remember, it's a video game and when/if they fix it's many bugs it may get updates as well which will add extra content, so these sections may never be 100% done. DrNick 15:05, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
2. --Cook879 15:50, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
3. The article is pretty much complete. Besides, June is a whole month away, so there's a fair bit of time for the article to be improved further. --Nick97 ^{(talk ~ contribs)} 09:52, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Neutral (1)

1. I want to know if the extras tab will be deleted, first. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 02:52, 3 May 2012 (EDT)

Oppose (2)

1. Gameplay incomplete. Appearances need to be in alphabetical order and be completed. Extras is one line, therefore incomplete. Quotes is incomplete. References are most likely incomplete. ☆The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)}☆ 11:38, 4 March 2012 (EST)
2. This article gives more visits to this site. But I don't think it should be featured because the people who find the article, gets it from searching on google. FatHomer^Talk 06:40, 8 March 2012 (EST)

Comments

• Solar, I'm doing a transcript so it will help with quotes. | | Talk | Contributions | Edit count | 11:51, 6 March 2012 (EST)
• Appearances tab is complete, more quotes have been added. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 15:26, 7 March 2012 (EST)
  • Also some missing XP amounts in the levels table. I would like to see those filled in too. The Solar Dragon 15:49, 7 March 2012 (EST)
    • The XP amounts have been filled. All there needs to do is expand the Extras tab and get game images for the locations in the Appearances tab. Phinbart - just one of the huge Bart fans! 12:20, 11 March 2012 (EDT)
      • No-one has voted Support yet. The article's been improved a lot! ~ Phinbart (talk • contribs) 14:07, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Mona Simpson

Great, long article. Full of information. And, with it fully up to date after the latest episode's stuff has been added, deserves to be featured. ☆The Solar Dragon☆ 18:45, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
