Featured articles, for the time being, are currently nominated and voted on by staff members.  However, if you would like to assist us in improving nominated or discussed articles, any editor is certainly welcome give us a hand in our wiki's continuing improvement.  Thanks!

The rules for user nomination are as follows:
*After a primary category of article has an article chosen to be the Featured Article, any other articles within this category cannot be nominated again for two months.
*To accurately select an article that editors can review for detail to the very last word, phrasing, and format, all voting users must have 200 edits in the mainspace.
*Articles can never be renominated after being chosen.
*In the event of a tie, the former nominated article shall be featured first, and the latter nominated article shall be featured the following month. All voting restrictions for that month will roll over to the following month.
*On the final day of the month, a staff member will close the voting, and voting for the next month shall begin.
*Please provide reasoning as to why you think an article is fit to be featured--remember, by featuring an article, you are presenting an article that represents the best work of its category. Whatever is nominated should be a model article for others that are similar to it.
**Also try to provide variety in your nomination--our goal is to balance out the "demographic" of articles above, not add more character articles. 

==February 2012==
{{LightRoxas|lucky=I'd say we go with one of these:
*[[Maleficent]]
*[[Tron]]
*[[Cinderella]]
Again, Disney Characters haven't been featured in a while, and these three articles are all of good quality. I favor the former two over the latter; Maleficent is a very expansive article, and I've always loved Tron. Also, both characters seem to appear in KH3D, so it's a good choice either way.}}

{{Asif|sho=Cinderella's personality section is a stub. I say Maleficent, because her article has so much more content in it than Tron (though both are equally complete).}}

{{Uxie|time=17:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)|text=I thought we cannot nominate these three until March? Anyway, I was going to save this for June, but let's hope Tron will get this prize for February, otherwise I nominate Port Royal.}}
:Can you give us a more clear response, Uxie? Are you voting for Tron, or nominating Port Royal? <small> man editing on a 3DS is hard... </small> {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 18:38, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

==January 2012==
'''''Ineligible Categories''''': ''[[:Category:Gameplay Elements|Gameplay Elements]]'', ''[[:Category:Heartless|Heartless]]''<br>

{{LightRoxas|sad=Okay, so we really need the community to get involved in the Featured Article. Nearly no one votes here, and I'm almost always the only one paying attention here. According to the rules, I'm not even supposed to be here, but if I weren't this place would die.

Rant aside, this month I'd like to get a Disney character as our FA, seeing as it has been quite a while since we featured one. Any suggestions?}}
{{Asif|shonormal=Okay, so I asked Kryten if there was anything I needed to change about the [[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] article, and he never responded. Nevertheless, I nominate that article and will make any necessary changes once I know what they are.}}
:Sounds great. {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 02:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
I nominoot [[Cinderella]] and [[Maleficent]]. {{User:Erry/Sig}} 03:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
{{Uxie|time=09:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Disney character, eh? Hm? Maybe [[Tron]]? I think he should be the featured article next month. Either him or the Battle of the 1000 Heartless.

Besides, we've focused on major characters for too long, and it's time for a Disney party member. Agree?}}

{{LightRoxas|text=Alright, noms so far:
*[[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]]
*[[Cinderella]]
*[[Maleficent]]
*[[Tron]]

These are probably enough; we should decide among these. I personally gravitate towards Tron, as although Battle of the 1000 Heartless is a great pick, we've featured a lot of gameplay elements/situations within the last few months. It'd be nice to have a few more characters to help diversify a bit, and in a month or two we could do Battle. That's just my $0.02 though.}}
{{Chitalian8|time=23:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)|neku= I think that the Battle is a good article, we haven't ever really done an event before. We've done plenty of characters, so I'd say we give it to something new. <small><small><small><small>Sorry to say that your vote still doesn't count, LightRoxas. </small></small></small></small>}}

{{Uxie|time=05:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Let's see...

So far, Tron has got two votes, while the Battle of the 1000 Heartless has got three. I agree with you LR; time to pick a character, as gameplay stuff (including Sora's Santa Form) have been the winners for awhile. The reason why I picked Tron is because most characters featured so far have been major characters, and the other two characters that Erry suggested are major characters. Besides, I'd like to see at least one world-baised party member get a chance.

Does anyone agree?}}

{{Pea14733|time=05:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|mrhintr= I agree with Chitalian.}}

{{Uxie|time=06:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|luna=Make that 2 for Tron, 4 for the Battle of the 1000 Heartless. I'd rather the former, as we've not focused on a character in ages.

A better way to settle this is that maybe Tron could do January, then Battle of the 1000 Heartless in February, or vise versa. Currently, the latter's got the upper hand, but who knows. Both have gotten my vote, but gameplay stuff has been featured for far too long. Too bad we cannot do both in the same month...}}

{{Pea14733|time=06:51, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|mrh= Uxie, the Battle isn't exactly "Gameplay Element". It is an "Event" in the game/storyline. Which has never been featured before.}}

{{Uxie|time=08:43, 7 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Hey, it's not me that's in charge of the Featured Article. And I kinda get mixed up with some things. I actually suport the battle, btw.}}

{{LightRoxas|text=A good point to make is that, as AI has stated, Battle of the 1000 Heartless has a glaring stamp on it signifying it needs work. Unfortunately, the reasons for the stamp are unknown. As If! tried contacting Kryten about it but has gotten no response. I scanned the article and didn't see any problems, but until we know for sure there's not much we can do.}}

{{LightRoxas|hooded= I am well aware that, per the rules, I am not supposed to be nominating or voting. However, I'm not just gonna leave for two reasons: This place has had next to zero activity up til now, and I want to make sure the excellent input these editors are giving stays. Secondly, the last three consecutive FAs have been nominated by me, so I'm not just gonna leave. Consider my votes unofficial, if you must, but I think I at least bring up a few good points.}}

{{Uxie|time=05:58, 8 December 2011 (UTC)|zoe=Understandable. Excluding you: Tron = 1, Battle of the 1000 Heartless = 4. We better work on the latter before New Years if it's to become the next FA, otherwise the former gets it, despite only one vote.}}
{{SilverCrono|time=03:50, 10 December 2011 (UTC)|armor=Jumping in to say I'm voting for Battle. I'll look it over for some minor changes, but I don't have time for major edits, sorry. Even if we don't work on it that much before the end of the month, it's not ''that'' bad, and I think it should still win it... :/}}

{{Uxie|time=05:48, 10 December 2011 (UTC)|text=Okay, thanks. I suppose I could nominate Tron, once we're closer to a certain month. Let the battle come! :)}}

Not sure about other staff members, but I don't necessarily see a problem with you guys posting your opinions on this. This is just a vote for proposed featured articles, afterall. A vote, not an ultimate, binding decision. Besides, staff members are in charge of actually choosing the featured article and making the changes (main page, archives, etc.). Everyone who votes on this matter hopefully works on the Wiki to create such noteworthy [featured] articles. If there's a specific article that makes you say "Wow, this is really good!" then you should have the right to propose it for featured articles.  Simply put, you helped make awesome articles, you deserve to voice your opinion on which ones should be featured. Whether it actually becomes a featured article is moot, though.

That being said, I say Maleficent or Tron, though I line more with Maleficent. Tron's article is good, and I'm always a sucker for Sci-Fi movies, but Maleficent...just look at the article! The page is well written, organized, and is full of information. Oh, and did I mention it's a dragon? Leave your identity disk at home, Tron, this dragon will use it as a toothpick. Or maybe as a shield against [[Prince Phillip|magical swords]]?--[[User:Xion4ever|<span style="color:black">''Xion''</span>]][[User talk:Xion4ever|<span style="color:darkred">''4''</span>]][[User:Xion4ever/Atelier|<span style="color:maroon">''ever''</span>]] 15:00, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry, but the prize goes to the Battle of the 1,000 Heartless. The only way for your vote to get it is that everyone else voted. Besides, you'll be immediently de-rezzed if you don't have your Identity Disk with you. That's a rule. ;) [[User:UxieLover1994|UxieLover1994]] 16:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
{{SilverCrono|time=19:48, 31 December 2011 (UTC)|armor=So it's decided today, eh? Battle is the FA?}}
{{LightRoxas|card=Correct. If you want, I'll work on typing up the summary.}}
