MarioWiki talk:Featured articles/Archive 2

No more peer reviews
After the peer reviews feature has been removed, how will articles now be nominated? Completely after the old system? Or will there be changes? - 06:01, 7 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Obviously asked this before seeing this. This page is in hiatus until that system starts if approved. 16:22, 7 June 2007 (EDT)

Jump Starting The FAs Again
Moved to Proposals/Archive

OK guys, I'm going to implement the new system, inspired from Uncyclopedia, this coming week. Eventually the old system will come into play at the end, but qualifications will be necessary before being able to be nominated. 23:46, 15 July 2007 (EDT)
 * So what will happen exactly? I guess many are confused now. - 06:55, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Reviews
How do we keep track of reviews? And what happens when two reviewers give an article a high score? ♥♪!? 17:18, 28 July 2007 (EDT)

I think its explained in PAIR to some extent. -- Sir Grodus


 * What happens to the Yoshi article then? ♥♪!? 18:36, 28 July 2007 (EDT)


 * If all happen well, it will be (re)featured.

Yoshi
Didn't the Yoshi article pass the PAIR reviews? Talk: Yoshi has reviews over 18 by both reviewers. Does it get featured now? - 12:49, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
 * For a week I have been mostly out of commission due to vacation, but now it needs to be nominated as before. Momentarily I'll set it up. 13:01, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

Explain, please
These Reviews are very complex to me. Can someone explain it clearly for me? Anyone?

Strong?
What's with these phrases like "Strong Support" and "Very Strong Oppose"? Do they matter in any way? Should they even be allowed? - 11:39, 5 September 2007 (EDT)
 * It's another one of those Wikipedia customs, suggesting that a weak support/oppose can easily be turned around with improvement and a strong support/oppose will stay. Either way, I don't think we need that here – a support is a support and an oppose is an oppose, no matter how weak or strong. 11:52, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

Uhm Who
Some people aren't putting their signature. How are we supposed to know who opposed/supported and tell if it counts if we don't know who opposed/supported? User:Fixitup
 * We'll simply remove all unsigned votes, it's their fault not putting their signature. We don't need additional checking of every edit in the history. - 07:42, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

Sub-pages
they should be added. This page is way to long.


 * They could be. I think Wayoshi was going to take care of that this weekend. -- Son of Suns

Oh, OK.

Featured Version
Shouldn't we link to the Featured Version of the King K. Rool article instead of the current one? - 13:20, 12 September 2007 (EDT)


 * No, because that version will become out of date really quickly. FAs should be monitored more than other articles, to make sure any edits only add to the quality of the article. -- Son of Suns

Mario
I nominated Mario and he didn't appear on the nominated article list! Where is his name? Super   Yoshi10 | Lookey This

How long
How long does it take a nominated article to actully become fetured (given that it's has alot of support?)
 * In the best case, that is when it quickly gets five supports and no oppose, an article can become featured in a week of time. However, keep in mind that as long as there is a single oppose, it cannot become featured, no matter how many support votes there are. - 15:57, 26 November 2007 (EST)
 * Also, if a nomination is stagnant (Nothing is done to fix what the opposers brought up), it will be deleted a month after it's creation.

Thanks --HyperToad 15:48, 28 November 2007 (EST)

Automatic
If an article has 5 supports and no opposes, does it become fetured automaticly? --HyperToad 15:48, 28 November 2007 (EST)
 * Not exactly automatic, an administrator have to manually put it on the Main Page.

Blitzwing, but if it's one week with at least 3 supports and no opposes, yep, it get featured.
 * It's at least five supports:

"or the article has five supports and no objections after at least a week"

Archiving past nominations?
As mentioned here, I'm asking myself whether we still archive the nominations of featured articles. - 07:57, 16 December 2007 (EST)
 * In the old system (Before that "A Link To the Past" guy came and changed it) The nomination pages were archived. I don't know about now, but since this system is pretty much like the old one, I would say Yes.

Blitzwing
 * Then we need to stop the archives from appearing in the list of currently nominated articles. - 08:41, 16 December 2007 (EST)
 * Anyone have an idea how to handle this problem? - 06:44, 24 December 2007 (EST)
