Final Fantasy Wiki:Votes for Featured Articles

Archives
Archive I Archive II 2009 Nominations Archive 2010 Nominations Archive

Here's where you can nominate and vote on articles to be featured on the front page.

• To nominate, simply write your nomination under the Nominees section and sign your posts. A nomination is equal to a vote, and it's one nomination per person.
• To vote, simply sign with # ~~~~ under the nominees to symbolize your support. You can vote for as many as two nominees at a time. You can always change it at anytime, until the selection date.
• Once a nominee is selected, we'll clear the nominees section to start a clear slate. You can nominate the same article again one month later, eg. unselected nominations in January may be repeated only from March. We call it a transition period.
• You can give your Comments in the section below, but any claims of supporting a nominee does not count until you sign under the Nominees section. Take care!
• Diablocon has the final say in things: he's in charge of the featured articles. Uweeheehee.

		Diablocon - No, the question is; who art thou, ham planks? Shanks! I meant shanks TALK - 11:46, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
		Rules: You may only begin voting when there are at least 5 nominations up. You must have 150 mainspace or image edits before you can nominate. Whenever an article from a game is featured, it is stricken off this list, meaning articles from that game can no longer be featured this year. I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV FFIVA, FFX-2, FFXII:RW, FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, FFCC, FFCC:RoF, FFCC:MLaK, FFCC:MLaD, FFCC:EoT, FFCC:CB, FFMQ, Dissidia, FF4HoL Here are some things to consider when nominating: Is the article detailed enough? Does it have red links or links to disambigs? If so, can they be fixed? Does the article have enough images? Does it look nice? If your article has any problems with the above criteria, please either refrain from nominating it or fix it up so it is up to scratch. Remember that the Featured Article is representing the best this wiki has to offer, not just a popularity contest. If your nomination has no votes after being up for four days, you may remove it and still use it next month. However, this offer is only good for the next four days, afterwards your nomination stays (day limits are subject to change until I can find good lengths).

• Balthier - An article about one of Final Fantasy's more popular and well-known characters. The article has a lot of information about the character, and (surprisingly), Balthier hasn't been featured yet. SidVI 12:57, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
• Dragon (Enemy) - Again, a very well detail article about one the most known enemies of any rpg game, also next my month is my birthday so why not do something nice for me?  NeoZEROX  18:15, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
• Band - A comprehensive article on the Band ability in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years together with pictures. Would highlight the what the gameplay aspect of the FFWiki has to offer.Keltainentoukokuu 19:15, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Returning to make a vote for an article, wondering why no FFIV article has been featured during its 20th anniversary year. --Crazyswordsman 02:17, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

• Final Fantasy (Series) - Why hasn't this page been featured yet? - Henryacores^ 21:24, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
• Anastasia - This a very good article based on a weapon from one of our least represented games from what I've seen. MystRay 01:04, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

• Garlean Empire - This is the most up-to-date Final Fantasy XIV article, has almost every information known about the empire at this point and it's the less likely to require radical changes in the near future. Also: Gunlances and FFXIV's first anniversary. DiamondEdge 13:20, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

• Ultima (Ivalice) - This is an incredibly detailed summon article that is a very worthy representative of FFXII this year. MystRay 15:47, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Because why not. It's a good article, and we haven't had a summon article... *checks* ...since 2007. Also, she's green, so there's a slight Halloween angle on it for those people who insist on matching the article to the HolidayOfTheMonth™ -- Sorceror Nobody  16:30, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

• Chocobo's Theme - Everybody's favourite tune from the series; contains explanations to the theme's naming tradition, audio clips and even some development notes.Keltainentoukokuu 17:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Fun! Koharu Nami 22:11, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

• L'Cie - A nightmarish fate, and a good way to prepare for the release of Type-0, since it's only released in the end of October. - Henryacores^ 02:39, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

5. The l'Cie theme is most intriguing, and the article is excellent. However, I do still wonder whether it is a rightfull nomination... FNC is a good way to put it, but if we go down that road, wouldn't that enable having more than one article featured per compilation? Anyway, if this nomination stays, it has my vote, so much is certain. MirrorshardSceada 14:54, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

MSS brings up a good point; is the l'Cie article eligible or not since an article from XIII was already featured, but l'Cie appear in at least one more (although unreleased) title? - +DeadlySlashSword+ 03:44, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Well since l'Cie appear in the games of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series I think it's ok. The FNC series is kinda like Ivalice in this way, no? The games take place on different worlds anyway. Koharu Nami 03:58, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think it is a bit dodgy too because 80% of the article is about FFXIII. The Type-0 info seems to be just "l'Cie also appear in this game". I think it is unlikely we'll manage to shift the article's FFXIII-centricness by next month.Keltainentoukokuu 04:16, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

• Shiva - The parent page of one of the most common recurring summons in the series (the only summon with more appearances, Bahamut, is a Featured Article already). The sections are well-written, detailed, and link to other pages as necessary for a parent page. A well-functioning article for a popular summon. Jimcloud 16:49, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

1. Clarent  (talk/ contribs) 05:58, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

• Dragon (Enemy) - Maybe it not too late to put this in, anyway. A very well detail article of a very recent and renown enemy for not just FF but RPGs in general.  NeoZEROX  16:06, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

Tough selection this month. Ultima Weapon, Quickening, Shiva, The Void and Dragon are all very good articles; I can't comment as easily on Faris, having not played V, but it also looks excellent. I do kind of wish The Void had a few more pictures on it, but I guess there probably aren't really any more to have :/ I quite wanted to vote for it because I live there, but I had already firmly voted for Quickening, and Ultima Weapon edged out the others to earn my second vote -- Sorceror Nobody  16:00, August 5, 2011 (UTC) Asura

Can someone please work on the Battle article (with me perhaps) if it is going to be featured, because right now it has glaring holes that are not gonna look good on a featured article. It basically only covers FF1-FF10 ignoring everything that comes after.

• Charge time?
• Weather effects? Terrain effects?
• Area of effect and group-casting spells?
• Battle speed, wait mode, active mode, set from the confiq (at least this should be added)
• Chaining attacks/kills in some games?
• Escaping from battles?
• Multiplayer battles?

What about Final Fantasy Tactics battles? Dissidia battles? This is a main series article only? "History" of how the style of battles is basically copied from Dragon Quest that in turn copied it from Dungeons and Dragons?Keltainentoukokuu 20:07, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Actually, points one and four should be covered in Battle Systems and point number three shouldn't be explained there either, having its place in either Battle Systems again, or Spells\Abilities. As an article, Battle should act as a portal to an incredible number of articles, so there's a small issue about it being so generic.

If we were to cover all of the series in a few, massive articles like this, it wouldn't look nice, would it? - Henryacores^ 22:10, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, which is why I feel a bit lost at from which end to start improving it, because if you now start to read it from top to bottom it doesn't read so well. It needs to be either snipped or expanded, just gotta decide on the scope. ILHI wrote this article originally and he tends to go a bit...overboard. Buuut this isn't the right place for this anyway.Keltainentoukokuu 00:58, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

I think trying to make the article more concise and replacing large sections with shorter paragraphs and links like Battle System like Henry said is a good idea. I like the comprehension of the article, but it seems that we don't need to have so much detail in sections like Steal, Limit breaks, status effects, etc.

EDIT: OH, and I would be happy to help add in info that appears in post-X games like weather and loot. Escaping can probably be summarized in the "Conclusion" section. 8bit 03:07, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Really hard to decide this month, such good nominations.Keltainentoukokuu 19:11, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Not the most popular? Funny, then, how it occupies the 2nd spot in videogame popularity boards under FFVII everytime in regards to Final Fantasy games. Its more popular than FFX (which comes in at third when it does appear). Netherith 16:07, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

IIRC, the original Dissidia was FA the month after it came out, which can work here, 012 comes out the last couple weeks of March, so we have enough time to gather enough info to make the article nice and shiny. DoreikuKuroofangu 12:50, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

I still remember the time when I played the song on my media player, and my parents stayed to listen together, smiling and praising the song's melodious nature.

I can take Aerith losing, but the Turks frankly isn't that great an article, the story section is brief and the members section isn't much better. Furthermore, no one has done any work on improving it either, save for Kelt who did one of her cleaning sweeps on it last week. Besides all that, the lame "one game per year" rule means Aerith won't be eligible until 2012... DoreikuKuroofangu - Visit the Soul Shrine! 21:33, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

I still don't like the month association, and I still say we should feature comparatively obscure articles more often, but... the excessive period of a whole year before an article from the same game can be nominated has swayed me -- 21:37, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

How it is excessive? It is a perfectly regular and convenient method to ensure that articles from more games are featured. FFVII isn't exactly a game with obscure articles. 8bit 21:47, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

Zero makes a good point. Do subpages count as separate articles, and can they be nominated after the main page is featured? --ShirubaKurono  22:11, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

To answer Adonzo's question, the administration at one point had a prejeduce against Final Fantasy 8 and did what they could to avoid having it show up on the front page. Back then, in order to get Squall Featured, I was ordered to also spruce up Zidane's page and then they offered to feature Squall and Zidane at the same time (two articles sharing the same month because they didn't like Squall as a character). Fortunately Squall ended up getting the entire month, unfortunately when it came for Rinoa's turn, they didn't even bother for a compromise, instead they just threw up some other article that I think wasn't even in the voting list.
