UESPWiki:Featured Articles

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Jump to: navigation, search

Featured articles are articles the site's editors deem to be of the highest quality and should be held up as an example for other articles. Articles are nominated for this status below. The site's editors then review the nominees for content, style, completeness, and overall quality and place their vote.

[edit] Featured Article Process

[edit] Nomination

Any registered member can nominate any article at any time. Nominated articles should be of high quality and meet the site's style guidelines. They will frequently be recently completed articles or articles that have just undergone a substantial rewrite, but older articles are also suitable candidates.

To nominate an article, list it on the bottom of this page with a three-tier heading, (===Example===), and briefly explain why you think the article should be given featured status.

[edit] Voting

After an article has been nominated, any registered member can vote to support or oppose each nomination. Each member can only vote once for a given article, but a member may change his/her vote by striking out the original vote and replacing it with the revised vote.

To vote on an article, state whether you support or oppose the article for featured article status. A vote should be in bold, and all votes must be signed. For example:
* '''Support''': <Comment> --~~~~ or
* '''Oppose''': <Comment> --~~~~

Commenting with your vote is optional, but if you oppose a nomination, please state how the article must be improved to get your support for featured status.

If you are not yet ready to vote but would still like to add your thoughts, you may use:

* '''Comment''': <Comment> --~~~~ or
* '''Question''': <Question> --~~~~

And fill in your concerns or questions.

[edit] Decisions

UESP Administrators will periodically make decisions on article nominations. Decisions will only be made if:

  • The article has been nominated for more than seven days.
  • Five or more votes have been placed.
  • A clear consensus has been reached (either supported or opposed for featured status).


Nominations not meeting these criteria will be left open until a decision can be reached.

Article nominations with a consensus opposed to featured status will be deleted.

Articles whose nominations pass will receive featured article status on the front page for at least one month. If an article achieves featured status before the present featured article's month expires, it must wait its turn.

The nomination processes for these articles are archived at Past Nominations.

[edit] Morrowind:Armor Artifacts

Nomination
This is a clean and informative page that also brings the artifacts into context of the myths surrounding them. Some of the content stems back from the original UESP site, it is safe to say that many had an influence on the article. A good example of a list-like page that is more than that, and I think it holds up well against other such articles previously featured. --Benould•T•C 00:49, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Oppose:This article is informative, and the lore is a nice tidbit, but I'm afraid this article still feels like a list, instead of an article, and doesn't seem to hold much interest besides looking up your new piece of loot. This article definitely has potential, but I feel it just isn't ready for featured status.-Puddle Talk•Contribs. 00:04, 18 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Almost Support: It's a list, true, but then a large number of the articles on the site are lists. This one has some particularly nice images (we ought to look at using the CS-image-on-a-different-background option elsewhere), the snippets of information from in-game sources are a fine touch, the infoboxes are useful and the icons add a nice finish too. I'd also like to showcase a Morrowind article and this one would be a good start. My one reservation is the VN tag; I don't think it's appropriate for featured articles to have "is that what we use here?" on them. On that score, I'd say it would be more useful if the cost/use listed the values at an enchant of both 1 and 100, but that would be a big change with all the other pages involved. In any case, once the tag comes off this page gets my support. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 15:57, 24 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Support: Changing vote to support now the question has been answered. –Rpeh•T•C•E• 00:49, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
  • Support: Ditto to Rpeh; as soon as the VN has been addressed, I will change this to a full support. It's a very informative page, well thought-out, and has many nice "touches." --GuildKnightTalk2me 18:27, 24 July 2008 (EDT) (changed to a full support GuildKnightTalk2me 19:34, 6 August 2008 (EDT))
  • Support: I think this page is really good, as you said: Informative and thought-out. And it have helped me to find the Boots of the apostel, good artifact if you ask me. So this page have my support. -Goblin lair 18:17, 29 July 2008
  • Support: Best Morrowind page I've ever seen--Albinobear43 17:00, 18 August 2008 (EDT)
  • Support: While I agree it is a list, it's a good list, and I don't really see how else one would organise the information. The subsections on the given artifacts are thorough, legible, employ many links, and are even nicely beautified. Coupled with the appropriate preamble, I would suggest that this article is of considerable quality for its scope and deserves recognition for this. JKing 06:47, 22 August 2008 (EDT)
