Guidelines for Featured Articles
Featured articles should meet the following criteria:
 * Must have at least one image
 * Must be at least 500 words
 * Probably other stuff, too

Bender Bending Rodriguez
Why? Because it's just about the most comprehensive article we have, it has several good pictures, and lots of quality information. It's also one of the longest articles, according to Special:Longpages.



Well, I think This article is accepted "unanimously" -- that is, the three active users. After the issue on the article's talk page is addressed, this is the next featured article.

Mom
It's a decent article. It could stand a little expansion, but the pictures work well. Although I might want to show a better contrast with pics of her motherly public face to counterbalance the private personna in the picture that's already there.



Turanga Leela
A lot of work has gone into this one, and I think it is fairly good already. Besides, Leela is one of the most important characters and fun to write about, with lots of outside references.


 * Voting decline for now. I think it's a great article, but the "trivia" section really contains a lot of useless information and should probably be pruned. But I'll leave it up to others whether and how much to trim. And obviously, it's still two-to-one, so it's not required.


 * In my eyes, "Trivia" contains everything that can't go anywhere else, and I was trying to bring in as much information as possible. Perhaps it's true that some of it isn't really necessary, but as Leela is one of the three leading characters that appears in every episode, we should rather go with too much instead of too little. And we do have enough space, or don't we? Possibly we need to have a basic discussion about what should go into an article and what should not some time.


 * The Trivia section is longer than the Biography section. I think some of the list items could be put into her Bio in prose form, and it might pretty things up. For example "Is frequently jealous of Amy's success with men." could almost be moved without alteration. As for what should go into an article, I personally have no problem cramming as much info as possible in there. The pictures take up a bit of room, and text hardly takes up any at all. And we still don't have to worry about running out of space yet, so go nuts.


 * Vote changed.

This page is definately the best of the race pages; lots of pics, lots of info, almost 5k, just a nice, solid page.


 * I'm voting to accept, but I think it needs that life-cycle image first, so I'll try and finish that up tomorrow. Or today, depending on how you look at it. Basically, after I sleep.
