These are [[The Infosphere (website)|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 (<code><nowiki>=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===</nowiki></code>) below.
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>.
<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]].
<!-- Below is the "Nominations" template.
=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===
'''''Nominated on DD Month, YYYY.'''''
{{Infosphere:Accept}}
{{Infosphere:Decline}}
{{Infosphere:End}}
==== Comments ====
*If needed.

==== 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)

==== Comments ====
A very good-looking article on a very special character. [[6ACV05|And]] [[Fry|I]] [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Nine&action=historysubmit&diff=78891&oldid=77302 helped]! [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 23:12, 18 March 2011 (CET)
:Taking into account the fact that he is a cameo character, it would make sense that his article wouldn't have a lot in the way of a biography or production information. But I dislike the fact that the largest portions of his article are just a section of pictures and a section of quotes. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 23:26, 18 March 2011 (CET)
::I disagree. The article has a ''Production'' section because of the character's bizarre purpose, and a ''Biography'' section as an attempt of giving all his appearances some meaning. As for the ''Image Gallery'' and ''Quotes'' sections, they are, from my point of view, beneficial. If they were smaller, the article's quality would be lower. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 20:46, 19 March 2011 (CET)
:::If some of the pictures were cut (there ''are'' too many), the article could be FA. I agree with Sanfazer about the production part. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 16:25, 28 March 2011 (CEST)
== Potential candidates ==
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 [[#Nominations|the ''Nominations'' section]]. Feel free also to move articles in this section to ''Nominations'' when you think they're good to go.
<!-- Below is the "Potential candidates" template.
=== [[TheArticle'sName]] ===
'''''Nominated on DD Month, YYYY.'''''
==== Comments ====
*If needed.
-->
=== [[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). [[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)
::I think it should be added to potential candidates instead. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 16:32, 2 March 2011 (CET)
:::My thoughts exactly. Everyone agree ''Cornwood'', ''Planet Express'', and ''Season 6'' should be in the section below? Aki the Nominator, what do you think? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 23:47, 2 March 2011 (CET)
::::True. I moved the aforementioned articles. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:49, 6 March 2011 (CET)
