==Guidelines for Featured Articles==
These are [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]]'s '''featured article nominations'''.
<!-- 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
*Probably other stuff, too


==Nominations==
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).
Is there a way to modify this feature so that the articles are monthly or fortnightly? I think it would help the feature work better. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 20:51, 25 June 2006 (PDT)
:Easily. You can delete the hiatus message, and uncomment the feature code. Just change <nowiki>CURRENTWEEK</nowiki> to <nowiki>CURRENTMONTH</nowiki>, and then follow the link to create the small mini-article that will appear on the front page. Fortnightly would be a little more difficult (or impossible). {{User:Buddy13/sig}} 09:32, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
::Okay, the featured articles are ready to kick off again, monthly, in [[Infosphere:Featured article for July, 2006|July]] and continue in [[Infosphere:Featured article for August, 2006|August]] - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:23, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
:::You'll either have to move those articles, or use the code <nowiki>{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}</nowiki>. Obviously, I'd recommend the latter option, since it's prettier. [edit]: Oh, you already did that. Heh. {{User:Buddy13/sig}} 21:44, 30 June 2006 (PDT)


===[[Philip J. Fry]]===
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.
From what I can tell, there were only three featured articles so far. Fry wasn't one of them, I guess the article wasn't that good then.
 
<big><big>You must ''nominate'' an article ''before'' creating the feature. Seriously.</big></big>
 
== Guidelines for featured articles ==
<!-- 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.
**This rule may be ignored if they are on something minor and everything known is described.
*Should not [[Infosphere:Featured articles|have been featured before]].
*Should not still be on [[Template:Whatsnew|the ''What's new?'' section]] of the Main Page. Nominations of these pages will be accepted, but they won't actually be featured until they leave this listing.
*Should not be marked with one of the templates in [[:Category:Wiki Maintenance|the ''Wiki Maintenance'' category]].
*Probably other stuff, too.
 
== Nominations ==
The ''Nominations'' section is for articles that you feel are ready to be featured. If they still need work, add them to [[#Potential candidates|the ''Potential candidates'' section]].

-I've got mixed feelings on this one. It is a great article, though, and I can't think of any reason it ''shouldn't'' be an article of the month, so I'm just abstaining. {{user:Gopher/sig}}
==== Comments ====
There's a lot non-comic to be featured first, especially since I've never even touched a Futurama comic it's simply not that interesting to me. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 10:06, 16 August 2010 (CEST)
:I live in Portugal, and they don't sell those here, so I've never touched one either. (I've ''read'' "[[Futurama Returns]]", but I didn't touch it, so...) I still think the ''[[Soldier Boys]]'' article is pretty good, though. (And has a nice image too!) [[User:San Saber|San Saber]] 14:12, 20 December 2010 (CET)

Purely here to represent the comics. I'd say its probably the best of the comic articles, and a good comic.

::If we stick to monthly, it may also be nice to make this a December article. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:23, 29 June 2006 (PDT)

====[[Sewer Mutants]]====
=== [[Blorgulax]] ===
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.

These were one of the best random bits in the entire series imo, and even re-reading the scripts for the hundredth time still makes me laugh.

Since we finally found the 3rd one in spanish fry, I'm adding it's transcript now. If Buddy can find time to get a screenie for it (naturally, of the man stepping out of the pod at the end), I think it'll be ready and worthy.

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)

These are The Infosphere's featured article nominations.

Please nominate articles that you think are worthy of being featured on the Main Page under a level-3 heading (=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===) below. Be aware that any article may be vetoed by an administrator (just as any article may be passed by an administrator).

You must nominate an article before creating the feature. Seriously.

Guidelines for featured articles

Featured articles should meet the following criteria.

  • Must have at least one image.
  • Must be at least 500 words.
    • This rule may be ignored if they are on something minor and everything known is described.
  • Should not have been featured before.
  • Should not still be on the What's new? section of the Main Page. Nominations of these pages will be accepted, but they won't actually be featured until they leave this listing.
  • Should not be marked with one of the templates in the Wiki Maintenance category.
  • Probably other stuff, too.

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)
