===[[Mom]]===
== Guidelines for featured articles ==
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. {{User:Buddy13/sig}}
<!-- 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]].

===[[Turanga Leela]]===
==== Comments ====
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.
*If needed.

: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. {{User:Buddy13/sig}}

: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. {{User:Whaler on the Moon/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)


: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. {{User:Buddy13/sig}}

The ''Potential candidates'' section is for articles that you feel should be featured, but need a bit more polishing/completeness.

The Potential candidates section is for articles that you feel should be featured, but need a bit more polishing/completeness. If they are probably ready, add them to the Nominations section. Feel free also to move articles in this section to Nominations when you think they're good to go.

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)
