Assassin's Creed Wiki:Featured Article Nominations



 This page lists all the nominations for Featured status. The Istruttori monitor this page and the voting process.

Featured is the highest level an article can achieve, and as such, it must meet certain requirements.

An article must…
 * …be well-written and detailed.
 * …be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
 * …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on ACWiki.
 * …following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
 * …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
 * …have no more than 3 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
 * …have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
 * …not have been previously featured on the Main Page. Otherwise, it can only be restored to featured status.
 * …be completely referenced for all available material and sources.
 * …have all quotes and images sourced.
 * …provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
 * …include a "personality and characteristics" section on all character articles.
 * …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
 * …have a "behind the scenes" section when the info is available
 * …pass review by the Istruttorium review panel.

If the article meets at least 6 of the pre-requisites, the article is permitted to be held for nomination.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Note that a previously featured article cannot be featured on the Main Page again; however, it can be restored to featured status.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 3 Istruttore supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article."

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) Please note that in order for your vote to count, you must have 50 mainspace edits.
 * 4) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under, if possible. Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
 * 6) Once the article has five supporting Istruttori votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article." Although articles do not need regular users' votes to pass, non-Istruttori are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.

Also remember to add at the top of the article you are nominating.

Destruction of the Great Chain - Yay
Nesty did not vote Nay so her vote is not accounted for. Overall, good article and worth FA Status. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 01:40, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Although it is a rather brief article, I believe it is written to an FA standard and has some cool images to accompany it. I've attempted to do as much expansion as possible, though this event is just terse overall. Thanks for voting. Nostalgia AC Let's talk. 06:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 06:04, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Yay. Good work. Though I personally do not like the infobox picture or the Greek Fire one. Assassin-Rome  (Talk if you will) 15:19, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Mmmmhmm. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  23:30, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Damn, I'm good at my procrastination but I had to vote eventually so why not now? :P -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 02:24, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, everything's been cleared for me. =GuardDog 12:27, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) There was a lot of unnecessary information. The description of the Great Chain wasn't needed, that's what the link to its separate article is for. And the Aftermath section was far too detailed, I deleted most of that. Otherwise the rest of it is good, just one minor thing. In the Meeting with Yusuf Tazim section, it mentions Ezio and Yusuf discussing the bomb, yet the quote for that part is in the next section, making it a bit out of place. So a new quote is needed for the Destruction and escape section. Once that's done I'll vote Yay. --  'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  13:39, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Alright, thanks for that Blaidd. I just added the only quote from AC:R that is relevant to the Destruction and escape section. It's not great, but it's better than anything the novel could provide.  Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 21:38, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't like it... But I won't vote nay unless I can figure out why I don't like it... Nesty  Contact me! 22:15, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Fall of the Palaiologi - Yay
--Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 03:57, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

I've reworded and restructured most of the page, and added in some cool, HQ images to accompany it. I've also added, replaced, and revised some quotes. I believe the article is worthy of FA currently. Thanks for voting everybody. Nostalgia AC Let's talk. 21:15, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 21:15, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Yay from me. =GuardDog 14:15, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Yes. Very good. Assassin-Rome  (Talk if you will) 15:48, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) I like it, I won't vote nay until I figure out what I don't like about it. XD -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 21:39, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) There were still quite a few things I needed to fix on it. Luckily I managed to pull myself away from Skyrim for this page. You should be very grateful. =P -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  14:48, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

 * 1) The article doesn't seem right to me, I think it needs to be more detailed and specific in some areas. --  'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  16:51, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Well, it could be expanded in some areas such as the Confrontation with Manuel and the Destruction of Byzantine Weaponry could use a minor expansion along with the Aftermath which is only a minor expansion, don't go into too much detail with that. If this is done, I'll vote Yay. -- Teller  Words, On my Screen :O 19:30, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) In response to Blaidd and TST's comments, I have revised, expanded, and detailed the article. Please reconsider your votes guys. Thanks.  Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 21:34, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Yusuf Tazim - Voting
And that is a wrap! -- Jack WallsSupermen 12:25, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

I've written out most of his details since finishing Revelations. The article's not very long, but information seems complete, and it has a sufficient number of quotes and Vatsa's quality images. =GuardDog 09:44, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As nominator. =GuardDog 09:44, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nay, oh wait... this is the Yay section. What am I doing here? Oo Teller  Words, On my Screen :O 18:31, January 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Where is his hookblade? -- Jack WallsSupermen 14:35, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) What is a hookblade? -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  14:46, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) A hook with a blade... or was it the other way around? O.o -- Nesty  Contact me! 20:55, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Nope. See, it has two parts, a hook and a blade. --Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 03:57, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Dey hook, and dey blade. -- Master Sima Yi 09:38, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Sofia Sartor - Voting
...Yeah, nothing clever to add. In fact, nothing at all to add. Except this one, which technically makes it "something to add." -- Jack WallsSupermen 12:25, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Done a lot of stuff on this page. Made sure all's in there, more stuff, yadi yadi yada. Not much to add, really. And...that's all. -- Jack WallsSupermen 14:34, January 31, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) Hoo-RAH! -- Jack WallsSupermen 14:34, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) FUS RO DAH! Nesty  Contact me! 20:57, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Blimey! -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 22:54, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Dees ees knowledge de world has lost, and must have again. -- Master Sima Yi 09:38, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Huzzah! =GuardDog 14:34, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

Ezio Auditore da Firenze - Voting
Revanped the page, especially rewording the Revelations/Embers info, which was a mess. I think it's good enough for FA now.. if you disagree, just let me know and I'll have another go at it.

Yay

 * 1) As revamper/nominator Nesty  Contact me! 15:47, February 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) That's it for me. =GuardDog 16:06, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) That Hot Chocolate was delicious by the way. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 16:26, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

 * 1) The wording needs to be improved, and some sentences and parts need to be trimmed and refined. Also, the spacing needs to be fixed as there are many long paragraphs that could be separated for a cleaner appearance. Lastly, the grammar could use some work. Other than those comments, the article seems thorough and has some good images. Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 17:32, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) The later parts are much better now, but now I'm nitpicking the earlier ones :p Will vote after I finish my pass of rewording (...which may take a while). =GuardDog 14:09, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nos, could you please be more specific on where the needlessly lengthy paragraphs are? I cut them myself, and each paragraph's ideas seem to be grouped appropriately - though naturally, I could be wrong. =GuardDog 12:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Colosseum Passion Play - Voting
I've reworded and detailed most of the article. I've also cleaned up the infobox and expanded the opening section. Lastly, I also replaced the images previously there with new, HQ images provided by Vatsa. Thanks for voting. Nostalgia AC Let's talk. 21:27, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As nominator and revamper. Nostalgia AC  Let's talk. 21:27, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, nothing to complain about. -- Jack WallsSupermen 17:35, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Yay from me. =GuardDog 12:27, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Nay

 * 1) I think I said this before, but the wording could be a lot simpler and easier to understand (keep in mind, English is not everyone's native language and we do want everyone to be able to read our articles). The amount of "difficult" words does not determine the quality of an article. The infobox image could be better, though the rest of the images are good. Some of the quotes don't really work, so you might want to have a look at that too. There were also some punctuation mistakes that will have to be taken care of, but I can do those myself when I have the time. That's all, I believe. Oh, and sorry for being so negative xD Nesty  Contact me! 18:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) Though the article is much, much better, the infobox picture needs to be changed. Assassin-Rome  (Talk if you will) 16:29, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Personally, I think it's fine. Only the image is what needs changing to earn my vote. As Rome said, certainly much better then before. -- Teller Words, On my Screen :O 20:58, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
