UESPWiki

Featured articles are articles the site's editors deem to be of the highest quality and should be held up as an example for other articles. Articles are nominated for this status below. The site's editors then review the nominees for content, style, completeness, and overall quality and place their vote.

[edit] Featured Article Process

[edit] Nomination

Any registered member can nominate any article at any time. Nominated articles should be of high quality and meet the site's style guidelines. They will frequently be recently completed articles or articles that have just undergone a substantial rewrite, but older articles are also suitable candidates.

To nominate an article, list it on the bottom of this page with a three-tier heading, (===Example===), and briefly explain why you think the article should be given featured status.

[edit] Voting

After an article has been nominated, any registered member can vote to support or oppose each nomination. Each member can only vote once for a given article, but a member may change his/her vote by striking out the original vote and replacing it with the revised vote.

To vote on an article, state whether you support or oppose the article for featured article status. A vote should be in bold, and all votes must be signed. For example:
* '''Support''': <Comment> --~~~~ or
* '''Oppose''': <Comment> --~~~~

Commenting with your vote is optional, but if you oppose a nomination, please state how the article must be improved to get your support for featured status.

If you are not yet ready to vote but would still like to add your thoughts, you may use:

* '''Comment''': <Comment> --~~~~ or
* '''Question''': <Question> --~~~~

And fill in your concerns or questions.

[edit] Decisions

UESP Administrators will periodically make decisions on article nominations. Decisions will only be made if:

  • The article has been nominated for more than seven days.
  • Five or more votes have been placed.
  • A clear consensus has been reached (either supported or opposed for featured status).


Nominations not meeting these criteria will be left open until a decision can be reached.

Article nominations with a consensus opposed to featured status will be deleted.

Articles whose nominations pass will receive featured article status on the front page for at least one month. If an article achieves featured status before the present featured article's month expires, it must wait its turn.

[edit] Oblivion:Creatures

One of our larger articles. It contains a lot of well categorised information, with an easy-to-use TOC, nicely layed out descriptions and images. It's also well linked, and, overall, is very pleasing to the eye. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 11:36, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Support: Yes - it's a good page and offers a good summary of the enemies a player will face. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 13:53, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Tentatively support: The content of the article is indeed excellent, providing pertinent information, cross-references to variants, etc. and also some excellent screenshots showing off the creatures in question. My only problem with the article is with the index table at the top. On narrow display canvases like mine, it tends to look rather bad. This can be easily solved by using multiple tbodys instead of column groups for the creature types, but I expect this is a wiki-wide table style, so it doesn't affect my support of this article as such.

Support: An excellent page to refer to when discovering your advantages with the boots of the crusader. --M'aiq the Liar Talk 14:56, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] General:Playing DOS Installments under DOSBox

This is perhaps not what most people would expect for a featured article, but it has been of immense value to me, personally, in getting the earlier games to work on later operating systems. The article isn't pretty but it serves as a good example of a text-only page that offers incredibly valuable information not available elsewhere. In addition, the article offers us the chance to improve our own Battlespire and Redguard pages - something that has been necessary for some time. We have had all kinds of articles voted as FA's and the fact that this isn't a typical page shouldn't stop it getting the nod. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 13:53, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

At the very least the nomination process will hopefully provide hints as to how the article can be improved. As I practically wrote the whole article single-handedly I'd be lying if I said I didn't support this nomination since I am very proud of my work, but if it is deemed inappropriate for whatever reason, I can certainly understand: pretty or not, there is always room for improvement. :) JKing 15:44, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
Before nominating this article I had considered what could/should be added to make it better. Quite simply, it works. I don't think it needs screenshots or anything else to make the grade: rather, the idea that a text-only article can still be useful is one of the reasons I nominated it. Maybe sshots can be added to "finish" the article, but I speak from personal experience that it works as-is. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 16:21, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
  • Support: I've just gone through the pain and hassle of trying to set up DOSBox correctly. Only now have I really realised how useful and informative an article this is. - Game LordTalk|Contribs 15:46, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
