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.

==June 2014==
{{Uxie|time=18:36, 30 April 2014 (UTC) (It's already May 1 here in Australia, if you are asking)|angela=I'm not gonna suggest any SP/TG related articles this time, even though my 20th birthday is just around the corner (I'd rather leave SP for July, and TG for December). I'm gonna nominate [[Under the Sea]], since we should feature at least one of the Atlantica songs (it's got good quality writing, anyway), but we need to replace the image, first.}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:09, 8 May 2014 (UTC)|default=In my opinion, Under the Sea is somewhat messy because of the transcript of the lyrics. I'm aware that there's nothing we can do to fix that but I'm still reluctant to have it as a FA. I nominate [[Bladecharge]] as an alternative, since it's one of the few KH3D articles that actually has decent information (the BBS stuff are there as a bonus).}}
{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=00:33, 20 May 2014 (UTC)|text=Yay! Third Nomination! I nominate Uxie's choice for last month, [[Pumpkinhead]]. I think it's a well written Keyblade article, and I'm not very well satisfied with either "Under the Sea" or Bladecharge (Decent information)? There's barely anything there, and it's mostly KHBBS info than KH3D), though if I had to choose, "Under the Sea" would be my choice over Bladecharge (Sorry, FM).}}
{{Uxie|time=13:51, 20 May 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Okay, so that's three articles nominated for June (the most ever for as long as I can remember). Currently, Under the Sea has the highest chance of "winning", but it can go either way. I wouldn't mind Pumpkinhead to be featured (though it was ''I'' who originally suggest it, anyway, as KSM pointed out), but the community should decided, and June is only 11 days away, anyway. Plenty of time. <small>(Yeah, as of this edit, Keira has officially replaced Zoe for this talkbox)</small>}}
{{TheFifteenthMember|time={{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 15:08, 22 May 2014 (UTC)|sad=Alright, I don't mind Pumpkinhead.}}
:Glad to see some activity here. ^_^ Anyways, I'm up for a Keyblade article, but, using what FifteenthMember said earlier, Pumpkinhead isn't much better on information. While the article is indeed complete, the only actual writing occurs in the design section. However, I do like the idea of a Keyblade being a featured article...What do you guys think of [[Kingdom Key]] or [[χ-blade]]?--[[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>]] 03:36, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{KeybladeSpyMaster|time=03:57, 23 May 2014 (UTC)|text=Wow, five nominations. That's got to be a record. Let me get over that excitement, and the shock of the fact that Kingdom Key and the χ-blade are still not featured articles (what is this?!). I'm throwing my vote for Kingdom Key, it's definitely the best Keyblade article we've got. Though the χ-blade isn't that far behind.}}

I vote for the Kingdom Key, it's the start of the whole adventure! Plus it has a nice complimentary card article. 

EDIT: The only thing that I would have a problem with is that a citation is needed in the coded section of the article and in the opening section. {{User:Chainoffire/sig}} 05:15, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{Uxie|time=05:45, 23 May 2014 (UTC)|zoe=Seriously!? One of the most ''iconic'' weapons in RPG history has '''yet to be a featured article'''!? Gosh, we've been quite slow. Kingdom Key has my vote, too, so that we can actually catch up with history.}}

==May 2014==
Since we're low in ideas, and I'm aware that whenever I suggest something, someone else has a better idea (sorry to sound rude), I'm going to re-nominate [[Pumpkinhead]]. {{Uxie/Sig}} 15:42, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
:Seeing as the manga project is what needs most work at the moment, I nominate [[Calling]] as mentioned in the roundtable yesterday. It sets the bar for the rest of the chapter articles and has good writing, though it would be better if we had the front/back covers. Alternatively, we could save Calling for later, for when KSM updates the manga infobox. {{User:TheFifteenthMember/Sig1}} 19:48, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
:: I second that. {{User:Pea14733/Sig}} 09:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Manga and Infobox updated, so "Calling" is a go if we choose to use it! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}}02:20, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
::Calling has my vote, since we should have some focus on the manga. {{Uxie/Sig}} 03:11, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

==April 2014==
Do you think Xion could be April? I'm quite surprise that she, along with a few other KH characters, have not been featured yet. There is a lot of info on her, her role in the game is a huge impact on the story, and she was voted "Best New Character" in the 2009 Nintendo Power Awards. Not to mention her debut game, 358/2 Days, won every category it was nominated in the Nintendo Power Awards 2009. Plus Kairi and Naminé are featured too (to those who know Xion's role). So do you think Xion's a good candidate for the featured page? - An anonymous Nobody
:As much as I'd like to support your vote, I'm afraid it has to be ignored, since you are not a registered user with 200+ edits. But since the wiki does not have much suggestions, it could be selected, though it's up to Xion4ever to decide. {{Uxie/Sig}} 06:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
::We've become a bit lax on rules for featured articles. I still believe we should stick as closely to the rules as possible. However, Uxie makes a valid point in that nominations/voting on this has pretty much vanished. With that in mind, I'm up for casting my vote for [[Xion]]. Should someone say we aren't following the rules, I nominate Xion for the previously listed reasons. Also, at the IP: Why not create an account?--[[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>]] 11:21, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
:::'''Xion''' wins by default. {{Uxie/Sig}} 15:42, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

==March 2014==
{{Uxie|time=05:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)|text=Well, since I'm the only one paying attention to the FA now, I guess it's up to me to nominate AGAIN. How does the [[Pumpkinhead]] sound?}}
Actually, what do you think about [[Wayfinder]]? Yay item/story plot.--[[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>]] 01:53, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
:Better than my suggestion. And since it's already March, it's on the main page right now. {{Uxie/Sig}} 04:45, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

==February 2014==
{{Uxie|time=08:38, 1 January 2014 (UTC)|angela=I've spent the past half-an-hour looking for a decent article that isn't a world, character, item or Drive Form. I wanted to nominate either Under the Sea or Light Cycle, but they still have needed work on them. But right now, I've got two under nomination, both bosses: [[Groundshaker]] and [[Mad Treant]].}}
:Oh f**k: February 6! I'll just put up Mad Treant as a default win. {{Uxie/Sig}} 05:28, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

==January 2014==
{{Uxie|time=08:17, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|text=Well, 2013 was a disappointment for Featured Articles. We had to skip March because Atlantica was not ready, but we still had a few good articles until around October. Anyway, how should we open the new year?}}
{{ErryTalk|time=14:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|orphan=I'd like to nominate [[AntiForm]]. Mainly because we haven't featured a game mechanic in a while and its got a wealth of information.}}
{{Uxie|time=16:39, 9 December 2013 (UTC)|zoe=Haha! Perfect! A great way to bring in the new year by giving out AntiForm! :)}}
:Happy New Year, everyone! AntiForm is the winner! {{Uxie/Sig}} 08:09, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
