== November 2010 ==
*1 article on ''Kingdom Hearts'' series merchandise ([[Kingdom Hearts Trading Card Game]]).
{{Maggosh|nathan=Well, seeing as nobody's made any suggestions for November, I'll put in my own nomination; [[Another side, Another story...]]. Now, taking DTN's concern last month into consideration - "not completely consistent with the format of our other [game] articles" - I took the initiative to ensure Another Side's article matches the format of our other secret ending articles; I'll admit there was some degree of difficulty as the article supports more than one of them. I do believe a secret ending hasn't been nominated before, so why not do something different? Thank you for your consideration.}}
*1 article featuring a ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' mission ([[Mission 93: Believe]]).
{{ST|text=I like it}}
*1 article featuring a ''Kingdom Hearts'' Olympus Coliseum cup ([[Titan Cup]]).
 
*2 articles featuring an in-game Story event ([[Battle of the 1000 Heartless]] and [[Keyblade War]]).
I second (Er, third.) that vote.--My Keyblade + Your face = pwnage 20:16, November 3, 2010 (UTC)Chihuahuaman
*3 articles featuring a song or collection of music (''[[Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle]]'', "[[The Other Promise]]", and "[[Under the Sea]]").
 
*1 article featuring a type of enemy ([[Dream Eater]]).
{{Maggosh|nathsn=...guys, Featured Article is still under Staff jurisdiction.}}
*2 articles featuring an Unversed enemy ([[Symphony Master]] and [[Mad Treant]])
 
*3 articles featuring an item ([[Struggle Trophy]], [[Wayfinder]], and [[Sea-salt ice cream]])
== October 2010 ==
*1 article featuring a manga chapter ([[Calling]])
{{DTN|time=18:45, September 4, 2010 (UTC)|text=I see that [[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]] was chosen as the featured article. My commentary on this would be as follows:
 
 
'''<center><big><big><big> <big><big><big>BIG MISTAKE</big></big></big> </big></big></big></center>'''
The article is still very messy and is not completely consistent with the format of our other game articles. 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?


But I digress. [[100 Acre Wood]] is the only quality article that comes to mind right now for October.
----
----
EDIT: This is not to be taken offensively, but just to remind all of the staffers that an article should be thoroughly inspected before being nominated, and not to just nominate an article because it fits into the time frame. Thanks!}}
The rules for user nomination are as follows:
{{EO|time=19:16, October 1, 2010 (UTC)|annoyed=The only reason you think [[100 Acre Wood]] is such a masterpiece is because YOU revised it, DTN. 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.
*<big>All voters must have '''200 total edits''' (check [[Special:Editcount|here]]).</big>
 
*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.
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.}}
*To accurately select an article that editors can review for detail to the very last word, phrasing, and format.
{{Maggosh|YMX=I second ENX's notion.}}
*Articles can never be renominated after being chosen.
{{DTN|time=02:32, October 2, 2010 (UTC)|text=In response, ENX, [[100 Acre Wood]] is in full accordance with our Manual of Style. An article should be "perfect" before it is posted on the main page, not after. Then it is no better than the Cleanup of the Month, and defeats the ''entire purpose'' of Feaured Article. You'll also notice that BebopKate approved of the article beforehand, complimenting its high quality.}}
*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.
{{BebopKate|time=03:33, October 2, 2010 (UTC)|text=I'm going to leave the Featured Article as is until we come to a consensus.
*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.
ENX, the point of a Featured Article is that it is already the best it can be or pretty close, not that it needs improvement or fits a theme.  If it needs improvement, it should be fixed before it is nominated.  If it's something to encourage improvement, then we have the Improvement section for those needs.
**Also try to provide variety in your nomination--our goal is to balance out the "demographic" of articles above, not add more character articles.
 
DTN, 100 Acre Wood is very good indeed, but it's hardly a consensus with one or two people.  We need more input here.
 
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.}}
 
{{Chihuahuaman|time=22:35, October 2, 2010 (UTC)|text=What about [[Olympus Coliseum]]? It has appeared in every [[Kingdom Hearts]] game and it offers a challenge everytime.}}
 
{{Chihuahuaman|time=22:36, October 2, 2010 (UTC)|text=Oh, sorry. It is probably a mod only thing. My bad.}}
{{neumannz|time=02:10, October 3, 2010 (UTC)|text=I would like to nominate [[Blitz]], which over the past week, has been hammered into what I hope is a model technique article.}}
{{Bluer|07:37, October 3, 2010 (UTC)|Olympus Coliseum is missing information, and Blitz has a collection of redlinks. 100 Acre Wood is agreeable.}}
 
==September '10 Nominees==
{{BebopKate|time=06:33, August 1, 2010 (UTC)|text=*dusts off the page*  Whew!  Been a while since we were in here.  *opens wikiwindows to let in fresh wikiair, uses her wikibroom to clean away the wikicobwebs, and then trips over a wikiottoman as karmic justice for blatent abuse of the prefix "wiki"*.
 
Let's see...where were we...ah yes...}}
 
{{DTN|time=03:33, October 2, 2010 (UTC)|text=[[Gummi Ship]] was indeed the selection for August, my only issue was finding an appropriate image of reasonable quality. Hopefully we will receive blueprint images of the Gummi Ships soon.
 
It has been a while since we have featured a world article, I think the last one was Traverse Town. I'm still not too sure about featuring a world from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', due to our spoiler policy, but perhaps a world the former games would suffice, maybe even something that could tie into ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' without being spoilerific. Any suggestions?}}
 
<!--{{The Inexistent|text='''I would say [[The Land of Dragons]].  Not at all related to BbS, and still full of interesting facts.'''}}
-->
 
<!--{{Chitalian8|time=02:51, August 3, 2010 (UTC)|text= How about a summon character? It could be from any game, so long as they didn't appear in BBS, so no Stitch or Peter Pan.}}-->
{{Xion4ever|time=12:42, August 5, 2010 (UTC)|text=Regarding world ideas...
{{Spoiler}}
Castle Oblivion- Aqua creating Castle Oblivion from the darkened Land of Depature.
 
Radiant Garden- Meh, it's in KH II and BBS.
 
Olympus Coliseum- Same reasoning as Radiant Garden.
{{Spoilerend}}
 
If it's worlds not pertaining to BBS in anyway, I'm up for anything. The Inexistent proposed the [[Land of Dragons]] previously..}}
{{BebopKate|time=18:17, August 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=I think the Land of Dragons is the most complete of those suggested at this point. 
 
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.}}
{{DTN|time=03:47, August 30, 2010 (UTC)|text=Hola, señors y señoritas. I have a bit of news for us that might change our plans. 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.
 
Hasta luego, ciao.}}
{{EO|time=20:56, September 1, 2010 (UTC)|text=Not sure what we've decided, but I think we should feature the actual BBS article. For two reasons:
*We've never featured a game article before
*Comes out September 7th, and many other obvious reasons
 
Not sure what verdict we've reached, but this is, to me, the best choice.}}
{{Maggosh|nathan=I also agree. Along with the Land of Departure featured media, I think it's the best choice for September.}}
{{BebopKate|time=23:06, September 1, 2010 (UTC)|text=I'm not keen on Land of Departure for two reasons:
 
#The game's not out yet here.  Stuff will change, the page will probably be slammed with edits after the English version is released.  It's in a bit of an unstable position to be called feature yet.
#It's awfully, um, small.  There's just not a lot of anything on it.  I know that it's one world in one game, so that does limit how big it can be, but...it just doesn't scream feature-worthy.  Yet.
 
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.}}
{{Maggosh|nathan=Sorry, Kate, you seem to have misunderstood me. I said, '''along with''' the Land of Departure in Featured Media; I was agreeing with ENX on Birth by Sleep's article.}}
{{BebopKate|time=23:34, September 1, 2010 (UTC)|text=Ah yes, so you did.  Sorry, it's been a long day at work.
 
I would be fine with ''Birth by Sleep'' as a featured article.  I don't think there's quite as much to change there as there would be in something world or character related.}}
 
==Sub-Discussion: Back to General Voting?==
{{BebopKate|time=18:33, August 15, 2010 (UTC)|text=Well, we, as a wiki, like to vote.  The [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Mirage Arena|Mirage Arena]] is a great example of that, and I have to say [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Votes for Featured Media|Featured Media]] has exceeded everyone's expectations, methinks.


We've improved in quality overall since we stopped Featured Articles, and even more so since we've re-added them as staff only.  I think we have a lot more wiki members who know what quality means and are willing to help and polish something so it's at its best.
==Nominations==


Therefore, I would like to propose, in December, (for the January article, natch), we return Featured Articles to the hands of all the editors. 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.
===January 2018===
*[[Yen Sid]] - Well, it's already January 2, and we're nowhere on this. It's a pretty well-done article, so I think it's good to be featured. {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 04:08, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
#Go for it. Wish they'd give us more of ''his'' backstory. {{User:Xion4ever/Sig}} 23:41, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
'''Yen Sid''' wins! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 05:36, 6 January 2018 (UTC)


What say you, fellow staffers?  ''Viva la editors''! (Don't hit me, TroisNyx. ^_^)}}
===December 2017===
{{Maggosh|nathan=No one commented? For two weeks? @_@ Well, as a newly appointed moderator, I'd like to say bringing voting back in December sounds like a good idea.}}
*[[Santa Claus]] - Man, it's been a while. Anyways, this would be a perfect way to get this going again! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 07:36, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
{{TNE|time=15:00, September 1, 2010 (UTC)|happytext=''Allons, allons, je ne vais pas te frapper'' :P
#Ditto. I was thinking having Santa Claus for the featured article would be good fit for the Christmas theme KSM is putting together for the wiki, too. :)--{{User:NinjaSheik/Sig}} 20:54, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
'''Santa Claus''' wins! {{KeybladeSpyMaster/Sig}} 17:48, 1 December 2017 (UTC)


And what do we do for this month's FA, then ?}}
===Q2 2016 (May)===
{{Xion4ever|time=18:58, October 5, 2010 (UTC)|text=Sorry for the late response, my life is crazier than usual...Anywho, I'm all for this idea. My main concerns are the usual: controversy which begets user bashing/arguments over a petty/trivial matter. Keep those contained (no scandals, excessive arguments) and I'm a happy person. Nice idea, Kate.}}
*[[Chirithy]] - If we can get this darn stub off the page, I think Chirithy (the Navi of your experience in KHUX) or a KH/U/χ article would be a great way to hit off the supposedly "North American" release with a bang!  {{User:ANX219/Sig}} 23:58, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
