*Oppose all three. Not complete, not enough cultural references or trivia, as well as poor formatting. Also, what are we going to do about quotes? They do look horrible and are technically copyvio... Maybe we should have sub-pages for them like on Lostpedia. [[User:Gran2|Gran2]] 18:44, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Revision as of 13:02, June 24, 2008

The featured episode are articles that represent the best Wikisimpsons has to offer.


So just what makes a featured episode? 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



How to nominate:

  1. First, nominate an episode 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 episode 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 episode".

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.

Of the three of them, I'd say Homer's Barbershop Quartet looks the best. The other two need more content, such as cultural references and trivia sections. -- Brian McClure 23:31, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. I was the one who actually nominated Homer's Barbershop Quartet. -- Simpsonslover417 12:42, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
