These are [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]]'s '''featured article nominations'''.


==Guidelines for Featured Articles==
Please nominate articles that you think are worthy of being featured on the [[Main Page]] under a level-3 heading (<code><nowiki>=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===</nowiki></code>) below. Be aware that any article may be vetoed by an administrator (just as any article may be passed by an administrator).
<!-- Feel free to add more criteria -->
Featured articles should meet the following criteria:
*Must have at least one image
*Must be at least 500 words
*The article should not yet be on the [[Infosphere:Featured_articles|Featured Articles]] page
*Probably other stuff, too


==Nominations==
How do you vote? Edit this page, and put your name under either <code><nowiki>{{Infosphere:Accept}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{Infosphere:Decline}}</nowiki></code> for each article nominated. You can do that with [[Template:Welcome|a sig template]], three tildes (<code><nowiki>~~~</nowiki></code>), or simply <code><nowiki>[[User:YourUsername|YourUsername]]</nowiki></code>. You have to be registered in order to vote.
The nominations section is for articles that you feel are ready to be featured. If it still needs work, add it to [[#Potential Candidates|Potential Candidates]].


The [[I Dated a Robot (commentary)]] article has made the cut for [[Infosphere:Featured article for December, 2007|December's feature]] as the only one with more than one vote, which means anything could be featured next. What do you think it should be? If you add a new nomination it may be featured straight away. We're low on clear favourites so nominate and vote. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 19:57, 22 November 2007 (PST)

:I'd really like to see at least two pics in an episode article, given their length, before voting it for featured article. At one point I was advocating at least three, one for each major act, but if we start adding infoboxes then that wouldn't necessarily make sense, but I'd still like to see a second, I think.

===[[Sewer Mutants]]===
=== [[Cornwood]] ===
If character info and quotes are filled in for all the characters, and a few other minor and one-timers are added (like the one Leela raced with in Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles), it could make a good article. It's already very picture-rich, and with a little more humor value it could be a very good page.
'''''Nominated on 1 March, 2011.'''''


:Yes, that is a good article. {{User:Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez/sig}}
==== Comments ====
The article is relatively thorough but can still be improved. One plus would be an [[image gallery]] (many images are already available on [[the Infosphere]] but not in that article) and a summary of its history (i. e. the ''[[Bender's Game]]'' plot). [[User:Aki|Aki]] 18:22, 1 March 2011 (CET)
:I have to say no. Like you said, it needs a few more pictures and ''a lot'' more text. The only developed category is the allusions and it's only tables. There has to be more that can be added. If there isn't, it shouldn't be nominated. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 15:25, 2 March 2011 (CET)

Cornwood

Nominated on 1 March, 2011.

Comments

The article is relatively thorough but can still be improved. One plus would be an image gallery (many images are already available on the Infosphere but not in that article) and a summary of its history (i. e. the Bender's Game plot). Aki 18:22, 1 March 2011 (CET)

I have to say no. Like you said, it needs a few more pictures and a lot more text. The only developed category is the allusions and it's only tables. There has to be more that can be added. If there isn't, it shouldn't be nominated. Teyrn of Highever 15:25, 2 March 2011 (CET)
