Revision as of 10:17, 16 July 2006
Nominate articles that you think are worthy of being featured on the main page. Please create them below under a level 3 (===Level 3===) heading.
How do you vote? Edit this page, and put your name under either "Accept" or "Decline" for each article nominated — You can do that with a sig template, three tildes (~~~), or simply [[User:Buddy13|Buddy13]].
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
Nominations
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. - Quolnok 20:51, 25 June 2006 (PDT)
- Easily. You can delete the hiatus message, and uncomment the feature code. Just change CURRENTWEEK to CURRENTMONTH, 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). Buddy13

- Okay, the featured articles are ready to kick off again, monthly, in July and continue in August - Quolnok 21:23, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
- You'll either have to move those articles, or use the code {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}. Obviously, I'd recommend the latter option, since it's prettier. [edit]: Oh, you already did that. Heh. Buddy13 21:44, 30 June 2006 (PDT)

Philip J. Fry
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.

Xmas Time Is Fear
Purely here to represent the comics. I'd say its probably the best of the comic articles, and a good comic.
- I think it's a great idea to feature a Comic article. Some fans of the show don't even know about the comics. Buddy13 09:32, 27 June 2006 (PDT)
- If we stick to monthly, it may also be nice to make this a December article. - Quolnok 21:23, 29 June 2006 (PDT)
I agree, we should definately lock this one in as Dec's featured article. -

Biography
Programmer, writer, math wizard and all-around genius, Gopher is a really amazingly wonderful guy. During early 2006, he had way too much free time on his hands, so he spent most of it getting the Infosphere off the ground. He the dissappeared for much of '06, and had now returned, when he's not programming, designing video games, or playing Geometry Wars and Call of Duty Gears of War and Guitar Hero II on his XBox 360.
Recently landed a new job which will actualy get him out of the house 40 hrs a week again, so he won't be doing little tweaks all day anymore. He will still be around nights and weekends, though, as he has no life and doesn't sleep much.

Potential Candidates
Was concidering articles to nominate and I decided to mention a few articles I think have potential but need a bit more polishing/completeness. Feel free to add more articles to this section if you have others you feel this applies to.
Sewer Mutants
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.
The Scary Door
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.
