Also, whoever nominated and supported this seemed to forget that all Featured Articles should follow the manual of style, be written well, and not have any maintenance issues. You can see a missing <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tag in the bottom of the page, was that not obvious enough? | ||

That's not a fair enough judgment/reason to nominate an article. ''Birth by Sleep'' was elected to sort of tie-in to the Wiki's theme and also encourage users to edit the article, as well as articles based on it with the new information the English adaptions revealed. | ||
I'd say, in the spirit of Halloween being in October, the stereotypical thing to do would be nominate a Halloween-based article, so we at least acknowledge it in some way, even though switching to a temporary Halloween theme is completely pointless. So I'd like to nominate [[Halloween Town]], simply on the grounds that it's based on the best stop-motion film of all time, has appeared in almost every game, has a great storyline, and makes the Heartless encountered there look totally awesome! Granted it could still use some work, that can all be changed in time.}} | I'd say, in the spirit of Halloween being in October, the stereotypical thing to do would be nominate a Halloween-based article, so we at least acknowledge it in some way, even though switching to a temporary Halloween theme is completely pointless.

Given the direction of where this is going, I'm going to flat out say I'm not going to be the sole decision maker here. I want to hear from other staff members. We've got them and we need more input from them as well. We'll delay the vote until Monday to make a final decision.}} | Given the direction of where this is going, I'm going to flat out say I'm not going to be the sole decision maker here.

Part of the problem with using the BBS worlds is that they're technically not finished until we get the release here, since I'm sure bits will change, and, as Xion mentioned, the spoiler issues. Besides, Land of Dragons is a nice example of an article for a world that has so far appeared in a single game.}} | Part of the problem with using the BBS worlds is that they're technically not finished until we get the release here, since I'm sure bits will change, and, as Xion mentioned, the spoiler issues.

Even though we all know that Room Core should have been the Featured Media for September, it looks like we are going to be putting up some art of the Land of Departure. I'm still hoping that everyone spontaneously changes their vote to the much superior Room Core, but in the event that doesn't happen, we may want to reconsider putting Land of Departure up as the Featured Article. Personally, I'm not sure how good or non-rigged it would look to have our Featured Media and Featured Article correspond with each other. At the same time, it might be nice, since ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' is just around the corner. Hooray! | ||
Anyway, I did a long, drastic cleanup of [[100 Acre Wood]] yesterday that should make it a model article. Plus, it's whimsical. If we find that we need to change our decision for Featured Article, I think this would be the way to go. | Anyway, I did a long, drastic cleanup of [[100 Acre Wood]] yesterday that should make it a model article.

Now 100 Acre Wood...good grief, DTN. That's a thing of beauty. That's how a good world article should look. Granted, it's got multiple games to support it, but it's also well-organized, nicely annotated, and bursting with info. I'm all about the Pooh.}} | Now 100 Acre Wood...good grief, DTN.

I do think we should use the same system as Featured Media (restrained categories), as that has worked very well in producing a wide range of winners, and perhaps borrow and modify a couple of guidelines from FF Wiki's procedures, such as so many nominees before voting starts. If need be, we can re-tool things as we go along to make it work more smoothly, but I think this is a step we should take. | ||
