Featured Media is a place to show the artwork, images, and sounds that make this wiki an interesting and engaging experience for visitors. It will also encourage wiki members to improve the quality of existing works. The rules and guidelines are a work-in-progress; if you have suggestions, please leave them on the Talk Page.

Nomination Guidelines

So, what makes a bit of media eligible for nomination? Here are the guidelines:

• The media should represent and support the article or articles it appears in. A full-body shot focusing on one character is better than a blurry screen capture where the character is in the image, but not the focus, for example. Orphan media not linked to an article or non-Kingdom Hearts materials that appears on User pages is not eligible.
• The media should be appropriately high-quality. Images should be of good resolution with minimal or no artifacting, but not absurdly large. Sound clips should be clear and easy to hear, but not excessively long.
• The media, like all things on the wiki, should be from official or officially-verified sources. No fan art, no matter how awesome.
• The media nominated must be hosted in this wiki. Items hosted elsewhere, such as YouTube clips, are ineligible.
• The media must meet guidelines for fair-use. A thirty-second sample of "Simple and Clean" is fine; the entire song uploaded to the wiki is not.

Nomination Process

You have something that meets the above rules, so now what? Well, on the first day of the month, post a link to your nominated media and sign your nomination with ~~~~! Remember, though, only one nomination per user per month! Pretty easy, right?

There is one more rule to keep this from becoming one big popularity contest. After the winning media is announced, any media in that category becomes ineligible for nominations for the next two months. For example, the image of an Angel Star was the selected media for October, 2008. That means that for the next two voting cycles in November and December, images from the Heartless Category were ineligible for nomination and would be dismissed if suggested. Likewise, the picture of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness would have also been ineligible, even though he appears in the Character category as well. Images with more than one category will only have one of them "blocked" to make sure there is a fair selection of categories available. There will always be two categories which images cannot be nominated from; they are listed at the top of the nomination block.

The category or categories are also considered "locked-in" from the beginning of the month, so don't bother changing them to get around the rules. Trying to edit media categories to suit your whims will only attract the wrath of staff and admins, and certainly get your nomination privileges revoked.

Voting

Editors have one vote; they must put their vote and signature, (~~~~) underneath the nominee of their choice. Those who nominated media can have their nomination counted as their vote and do not need to post again; if they want to change, they simply need to sign under another nominee and their vote will be moved.

In the event of ties, we will hold tiebreakers beginning on the 20th of the month.

On the last day of the month, votes will be tallied, and the winner will become the next Featured Media!

Note: It should go without saying, but it is extremely unethical to be canvassing for votes for this forum. If evidence is found that you've been trying to taint the process, the staff will de-nominate the targeted media, and may bar you from voting for the next round.

Nominations

April 2011

Ineligible Categories: Artwork, Enemies

• Sora and Kairi At Sunset - This is one of the most iconic images in all of Kingdom Hearts, and it's also a personal favorite. The sunset, Sora and Kairi... it all harkens back to the beginning, and it's all so... perfect. What's not to love? Also, someone needs to reupload it with better quality, as it's a jpeg. --File:Xigbar - Replica Data.pngAS IF!File:Xigbar - Replica Data.png 18:07, 4 March 2011 (EST)
• Sora, Riku, and Kairi at the Bent Palm Tree - Kinda piggybacking on your idea, As if, but I'd say this is an improved version of the above image. It's higher quality, contains all three characters, even more iconic (IMO), and it's an image of an FMV. Chitalian8 10:10, 5 March 2011 (EST)
• File to be renamed later - I dunno, this image just rocks. It speaks for itself, really. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 18:19, 7 March 2011 (EST)

1. ~TheTalkingKeyblade What the Inexistent said.
2. Falcon Mrk II 18:53, 10 March 2011 (EST) Oh, how i love Days...Good times. X]

• Hades Admiration - I believe we can all appreciate true lulz. ◄ Θάνατος ► 07:06, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
• Shade Jelly Family! - The whole family of crazy, "kooky" Shade Jelly Unversed. These guys are definitely different than any Heartless or Nobody ever introduced before, and are even unique within the family of Unversed. All of them are different, just like all of our different wiki editors, viewers, staffers, and readers are--hooray for figurative rhetoric in images! Also, that's a beautiful watermark on the edge of that image, CLC. --^DTN 07:24, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Hades gets old. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 20:21, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

4. Yes! :D When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry 02:47, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

7. Mushroom The17master 10:12, 19 February 2011 (EST)

• Sora and Riku in KH3D - This is a marvelous picture showing Sora and Riku in the new Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance! Sora and Riku, in their original outfits, wielding their original weapon, gaze at the shining light ahead. If I found a million dollars, I'd find the person who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it 17:18, February 1, 2011 (UTC) Ineligible: The "Artwork" category is closed this month!

1. I LOVE this picture. Superdog1123 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 06:00, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
2. As much as I love the image of all the Keyblades, they would just be too small to see on the main page. Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 20:12, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
3. Well, after that little nomination failure below, i'd like to vote for this. It is an an awesome picture, and the Keyblades are just to smallDarkheart3
4. *See Darkheart3's comment* AS IF! http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i443/sakuraban/Item_2384.png22:24, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
5. Sora and Riku never looked cooler in their Kingdom Hearts outfits. maggosh 17:34, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
6. YES YES YES. Is it just me, or does Sora's keyblade look fully golden in that pic? KKD 01:45, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
7. That picture is just epic! It makes Sora and Riku look awesome in their old outfits and everything just looks really cool. Roxas 02:52, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
8. Not a bad image. Plus, NINTENDO 3DS this year, baby! :D--Xion4ever 13:44, 27 February 2011 (EST)

• Keyblades - A featured media image should encompass its subject, yes? Well, I honestly believe that this image does just that. Plus, the Hades Admiration image is getting to the point when it was nominated as often as the room coar... KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 17:22, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. This is a sweet image. Plus, I feel like we should save the 3D pic for when it actually comes out. RoxasNobody

• KHII Opening - I'd like to nominate this picture because of the sort of combined similarities of Roxas and Sora (Sora eating Sea-Salt ice cream, Roxas's favourite food)Darkheart3

This is artwork, right? This image should be disqualified. - LevL 21:06, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

• Kingdom Hearts Opening - We've never had a video as a Featured Media choice before, and this is a great video. It's basically how the entire world was first introduced to Kingdom Hearts, and represents a sense of nostalgia. It also reflects our move to SEIWA, as we will be starting a new adventure, just like Sora in the video. So how about it? AS IF! 00:38, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Ineligable. If you read the above rules, it says no youtube clips. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 02:38, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Verdict: The Shade Jelly Unversed take center stage on the main page!

February 2011

Ineligible Categories: Music Media, Characters

• Coded Characters - First of all, it is not a character image, that applies to renders; this is artwork. Anyway, this is perfect! Kingdom Hearts Re:coded comes out this month in North America, a game that has received very little coverage, which we can fix by featuring this amazing image. Also, I love some of the character expressions on this that we do not usually see in our "happy" artwork, such as Mickey's perplexity, Goofy's fear, and Donald's rage. Vote it! --^DTN 09:38, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Well, you've got some great reasons. Gotta admit, this is the first artwork that shows emotion (all the ones you said, DTN, including Jiminy Cricket's shocked face. And I'm waiting so bad for this game. I'm all for it! If I found a million dollars, I'd find the person who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it 05:05, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
2. I love this pic. Superdog1123
3. This is not my favorite of the three, however it's Re:coded's time to shine (seeing that the NA release is very soon). Soxxeh 3:22am, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
4. 'tis awesome and Re:coded's coming soon. (P.S. Shouldn't we make a Re:coded theme by now?) The17master 05:52, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

6. Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 17:54, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
7. A real shame this wasn't used for Re:coded. maggosh 23:15, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

• File:Kingdom Hearts.jpg - This is one special door. I think that's reason enough. Ultima 00:36, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

1. ^^I concur. -- 06:19, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
2. Face it, guys- without Kingdom Hearts...what else would they name the game? :O--Xion4ever 15:00, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

• Radiant Garden: I'm nominating this again because it's so amazingly drawn, must've taken ages to be finished. Not only that it's the only original world that's unique compared to anything we have in real life. When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry 03:04, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

1. What a beautiful image--Xabryn 15:15, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

• Hades Admiration - Is it not true that Febuary is the month of love? ◄ Θάνατος ► 07:10, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

1. Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 07:11, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
2. Bitch all you want about everyone "liking Aqua's body". This is hilarious. --LegoAlchemist 07:16, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
3. Good to see this nominated again -- Sorceror Nobody, 23:33, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
4. Changin' the vote, let's go. Chitalian8 23:34, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
5. How did this not get featured yet?!?!? DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 06:00, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
6. I vote for this picture. (Love, people!)~TheTalkingKeyblade

• Radiant Garden: It's one of the best designed worlds. Just look at the intricate design at the front of the world's gateway. It's just too amazing. When you said you were the fun one on the lane, who was your competition? The mailbox? - Erry

1. Agree The17master12:01, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, it's artwork. Disqualified. maggosh 20:09, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

• Disney Castle Exterior: I'm nominating this image again because I think it'd be a really nice picture to start the new year. The tall spires stretching towards a blue sky should remind us all about reaching out to others. Here's to a Happy 2011! Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 11:40, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

• Sanctuary: Nomura himself had stated that Sanctuary is like dawn. What better way to start the year than with a song of dawn, especially the ~After the Battle~ version? Amazing song for an amazing New Year! If I found a million dollars, I'd find the person who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it

1. I agree. :D maggosh 03:31, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
2. Same here. Great song, and I think it'd be the first audio featured media. (at least that I remember) -- 03:59, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
3. As smexeh as Aqua looks on the cover of BBSFM, new year's needs a new dawn. KKDhttp://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad99/Xion4ever/f51ce887-d120-4b89-8cff-afbff03976aa_zps7f114bcc.png04:33, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
4. Agreed with JFHavoc. As much as I LOVE that picture of Disney Castle, let's save it for another month—we need some featured audio. Soxxeh 05:51, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
5. Featured music, now there's an idea! Scratch my nomination, this is far better! Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 10:56, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
6. Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 11:06, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

9. Forgot about this page. Chitalian8 03:42, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
10. For my return, I'm going back to the song from which I learned my first rhythm. TROISNYX AMDG 14:35, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

• Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix: It certainly is surprising just how many visitors to our wiki and Kingdom Hearts fans are not aware of the existence of this reissue of the PSP hit we all know and love(d). Featuring fantastic new artwork of the three protagonists that even, to me, foreshadows their ultimate fates, this beautiful boxart shows the reality of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix and just how great it is going to be, aside from the troubling aspect that we North Americans cannot get our hands on it! (Also, a featured audio track would be troublesome for people without QuickTime, the correct version, or a computer that cannot play the file.) --^DTN 03:55, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't this artwork? And it should be doubly disqualified, it has characters smack dab on it. --Ag (Silver) - 47 107.8682 amu ~Crono 11:06, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

You're right, Crono. Disqualified. maggosh 20:09, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Requalified. As shown in the Featured Media gallery, "Boxart" is considered a section of its own apart from characters and artwork. --^DTN 23:32, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

• File:Keyblades.png: So, I was thinking a few weeks ago: Whatever happened to that one table with the pictures of Sora's Keyblades on it? Well, I found. Then, I took the liberty of adding every single other Keyblade image to it. After that, I realized that it couldn't fit anywhere as a table, so I printscreened. And here we are. KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON.

1. Love it--ShadowsTwilight 02:19, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

• Santa Jack: Ah, December, one thing springs to mind: Christmas. A great holiday deserves a great, seasonal Disney image from a film which teaches us all about the true meaning of giving - it doesn't matter about the bows or wrapping paper, it's the thought of giving the gift that counts. Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 22:27, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

1. What's this what's this?</singing> Christmas Jack for month of Christmas? *votes*--Xion4ever 23:41, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
2. In this town, don't we love it now, everyone's waiting for the next surprise! KKD
3. I was tempted to vote for Hades Admiration, but December screams Christmas, and Jack screams it louder. -- 05:10, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
4. Indeed. 'Tis the season. Plus we don't want a repeat of the incident involving a certain nucleus contained in a chamber. maggosh 05:12, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

6. I freaking love TNBC :D Organization13 15:39, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
7. The holiday version of cross-dressing. If I found a million dollars, I'd find the person who lost it, and, if he was poor, I'd return it
8. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas--Lapidothtill 17:48, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

• Hades Admiration - As Drake Clawfang said, through intense study of video archives, along with written testimony provided by fans and characters, it has been scientifically proven Aqua did in fact bring sexy back to the series. This picture is photographic evidence of this. ◄ Θάνατος ► 02:21, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

• Triple Artwork: Well, we've seen the releases of Days, Coded, and Birth by Sleep, so I think it's about time that this wonderful piece of art was featured. Dan - ^{Don't Blink! ♫} 18:58, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

1. With Re:Coded coming out soon, and my having beaten both Days and BBS, I couldn't agree more! - EternalNothingnessXIII 19:10, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

3. Si, senorita.--Random!to a point! 19:21, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
4. Beautiful image. It's also relevant since the release of the last of the three games is imminent, and we are about to enter a new phase in Kingdom Hearts. Tamroc7 20:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
5. Assuming that I can vote and with the news from Gamestop that Re:Coded would be released in April sometime I definetly vote for this epic pic. GaleXgan#Absolutly one of my favorite pictures....--Axel - ^{Boo to you too!} 00:54, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

• Xigbar: I REALLY hate to go against you, Dan, but I have to nominate this puppy. Looks like the normal Xigbar render, right? Wrong. Zoom in on it. Yep, this one is ULTRA high quality. You can see the texture of his scar. There are more of this caliber to follow, but for now, this is the best we got. Not to mention he'd be the first Org. member in Featured Media. maggosh 00:40, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

• Room Core: Last night, I was visited by a very angry Room Core in a dream, who was infuriated by the lack of votes last month in comparison to a short-lived Unversed. For the sake of you, me, the articles, our wiki, and all the wikis, we must support and give in to the great power of Room Core. In dark times like these, our faith in The Core Divinity of the Room may be all we have left. --^DTN 02:59, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

1. I know I'm only supposed to get one vote, but since my PERFECTLY VALID vote for Room Core will likely be ignored, this is my backup, since it is also very deserving of support -- Sorceror Nobody, 21:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
2. Yes. ◄ Θάνατος ► 21:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
3. Amusing. Got my vote, if only because it made me laugh. Also, Coded wasn't released here, and Re:Coded isn't out yet, so triple artwork doesn't have my vote, and Xigbar has no relevance to current goings-on in the world of Kingdom Hearts releases. Also, the Room Core... Eh. It's a circle and some lines. Falcos 16:35, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

• Room Core: ... really, guys? I am shocked, no, disgusted that only one of you had the sense to vote for what was obviously the superior image. The blending of colors must have taken extreme precision, and the shapes were probably coordinated by the finest mathematicians in the world, to be fitting for the Room Core. And you denied it for a tiny little blurry world art? Don't fret, though; since The Almighty Greatness did not furiously turn your heads into radishes or slowly start collapsing your bone structure from the inside-out because you didn't vote for It, and now that you have seen the errors of your ways, I am giving you a second choice to make the right decision, and vote for Room Core, the obvious magnum opus of any artist. --^DTN 04:24, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

2. Ummm, it's ROOM COAR. -Azul81677 05:45, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
3. Oh, yes. It's perfect in every way. It's spherical, it's a room, and it's a core to something. Why wouldn't you vote for this?! User:Cloudofdarkness

5. The Room Core is a fitting metaphor for our own trials and tribulations. Its teardrops represents the love and caring we show for each other, and the central core represents the strength within ourselves. The yellow spots represent imperfection, the blemishes of our otherwise perfect lives. The Room Core has never been more relevant as a Featured Image now. ScatheMote 01:50, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

8. Imagine those those needle-like grey things... Imagine they truly are needles.... Approaching your eyes... Piercing them... First your left eye, then your right. When you blink, you can't fully close your eyes, because of those things slowly going farther into you... They then reach the brain... Your personality fades away when the temporal lobe is destroyed... You stop hearing, then seeing (although you're already blind). You still live, though, in a kind of haze, because you can't feel the world around you and you can't even act. The red spot with the yellow specks is your cancerous blood, spreading tumours throughout your body, ensuring that not only your whole consiousness and will is gone, but that your family won't even recognize your body anymore. Cancerous cells protuding everywhere on you will bloat your body. Indeed, you *will* still be alive, for your caring parents (morons though they are) will have brought you to the hospital.

• Room Core - There is so much to appreciate in such a complex image as this one. The multitude of colors and shapes in the image shows true craftsmanship in creating such a detailed and crafty piece of art, far more complex that such images as these two. The circles are flawlessly created, and the shapes are geometric perfection. Such complexity must have taken days, no, weeks to perfect and create! No other piece of Kingdom Hearts-related media could possibly even come close to having the tiniest chance of even just comparing with the beauty of the one and only, Room Core! --^DTN 02:44, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Both of these opposing images are formidable, but the wiki's going through changes right now, and what better place to start those changes than the Land of Departure? Not to mention there's an unsightly IGN logo in the bottom left-hand corner of the gummi ship workshop image... KKD

• Tranquil Shard, Tranquil Stone, Tranquil Gem, and Tranquil Crystal - Since these images are particularly small, I am nominating the complete set of them. Never have we featured any item images, so this would be a great "first" to show our diverse collection of great images. Also, we can show some of our less "worldly" readers and viewers some Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix-exclusive material. Our synthesis articles are also looking great with the format and work that has been put on them, so this is a great way to feature them as well.
