UDWiki:Featured Articles/Candidates

Community Portal – General Discussion – Wiki Questions – Featured Articles – Did You Know

Shortcut: FA/C Featured Article Candidates Evaluation for featured article (FA) status takes place here. Any page is eligible to be submitted for evaluation, including group pages and user pages. The only requisite is that the page follows the criteria; it doesn't need to be satisfied absolutely. Ultimately the page should be something the community wants to be placed on the main page, where it's highly visible and assumed to be exemplary; it should fulfill some notion of special. In determining whether or not a page becomes featured, the candidate will be discussed and if there are no major concerns raised at the end of 7 days, the page will achieve featured status. During the 7 days any major concerns can be addressed, either by refuting them or improving the page to fix the problem. If discussion on the candidate goes further than 7 days, participants may continue discussing or altering the page without the submission being automatically closed. Please note this is not a vote. When making a supporting or opposing claim, back up the claim with reasons or evidence. However, there should be at least three users commenting on a submission for the submission process to be considered valid. This is to avoid a page slipping through unnoticed. Be aware that the criteria for different types of candidates—articles, groups, and user pages—changes to reflect different requirements; it does not make sense, for example, to have "neutrality" as a criteria for user pages. Remember these are guidelines only and candidates do not need to follow the criteria to the letter. Articles that achieve featured article status should have the FA star () placed on the page. If at sometime, after a page has achieved featured status, substantial changes are made that seem to degenerate the page past the level at which it was submitted, then the page can be resubmitted here and be re-evaluated. The same criteria and process follows; if a major concern is raised that cannot be addressed, then the page loses its featured status.

Format

• Submit candidates under the appropriate header (Articles, Group pages, User Pages), beneath its respective Candidates header.
• Make a level four header with the linked name of the page you are submitting.
• Make a level five header labelled Comments and put in brackets the name of the page your submitting (so that someone can jump to individual comment sections which otherwise would be identical and dysfunctional). The comment section is a free-for-all discussion, so there's no need for supporting or opposing headers, numbering or bullet-pointing, nor bolding anything.

Example

• Substitute the text in RED CAPITALS with the details of your submission.

Article Criteria

1. NPOV - The article must be from a neutral point of view; articles should avoid taking sides (such as emphasizing zombies over humans, or a particular group or opinion). Exceptions may be made, depending on the article and community decision.
2. Complete - No major facts or details are neglected; it is finished as can be.
3. Well Written - The writing is grammatically correct and clear; it communicates what it's trying to say.
4. Generally Awesome - This is a joke criteria, hence it is very serious.

Gameplay

Withdrawn as it is already featured. Oops! Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 01:52, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Was approved as a Good Article in December-January 2010-11, but never received Featured Article status. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Gameplay)

Against Just seems a bit redundant. Its a link to other pages, not a page in itself. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:23, 23 August 2012 (BST)

I'm with Ross. Very nicely formatted. Useful information. But it's more or less a summary page, rather than being something unique unto itself. All of the information it talks about is better stated somewhere else. —Aichon— 00:17, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Articles voted in GA should be grandfathered in. ~ _{00:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Why? Especially so in this one's case, since there was quite a bit of opposition to it in its initial nomination. It's a good page, no doubt. It should probably be permanently linked from the front page as a useful beginner's resource. But it's not awesome by any means or worthy of being featured. —Aichon— 01:12, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Because every other Good Article is featured except for these two. I'm sure there were other GAs that squeaked by that are on the featured list. ~ _{01:20, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

That kinda sounds like "just because" rather than because the article actually has merit justifying that it be featured. Is there any argument based on the article's merit for why it should be featured instead of permanently linked from the front page? As I said, it's definitely a good article, but I can see why it stayed in limbo there, since there's nothing noteworthy about it that justifies featuring it. —Aichon— 01:31, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Actually I just checked and it is already featured. Bob must have overlooked it. ~ _{01:47, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

It was never marked with the template or protected for some reason. I still think it's silly that it's featured instead of permanently linked though. It's a great summary that should always be readily accessible to newcomers, yet it isn't a singularly awesome page that deserves the sort of featuring that FA offers. —Aichon— 01:50, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Major oops. Although if there are enough objections it can be re-submitted as a proposed withdraw from Featured Article status. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 01:52, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Weather

Was unanimously approved as a Good Article in January 2011, but never received Featured Article status. Also, is fantastic. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Weather)

Meh I prefer Snow and Fog myself. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:24, 23 August 2012 (BST)

I like it, but I want more of it before I'd say yes for it as an FA. More or less, have it get fleshed out first. More flavor text, in particular. It feels lacking for an FA on that topic. —Aichon— 00:20, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Such as? I removed the flavor text because of POV. What sort of things would you like to see expanded?-MHSstaff 02:21, 24 August 2012 (BST)

As Gameplay. Should be grandfathered in. ~ _{00:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

You know you've been playing Urban Dead too much when

Substantial, hilarious, and now consistently formatted. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (You know you've been playing Urban Dead too much when)

Yep Might put an introduction paragraph on it. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:26, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Yes. —Aichon— 00:20, 24 August 2012 (BST)

YesI like the idea of having more humorous pages grace the frontpage. This is straightforward and accessible. Might add "Comments on Featured Articles/Candidates" to the list though-- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

RNG

A clear explanation of the concept, as well as how it features in Urban Dead. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (RNG)

Against Just, plain, dull. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:26, 23 August 2012 (BST)

I'm for it. While it is dry, I think it's still well-written and is something that could use more public awareness. —Aichon— 00:22, 24 August 2012 (BST)

I prefer the Old Testimate version. ~ _{00:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Yes it's great. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:54, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Zombie Hunter skills)

Alter Personally, I'd love to Move this to Headshot instead of the other way around. Then I'd keep it, as its historic. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:29, 23 August 2012 (BST)

And it needs a monroeville extension. --Ross^WHO????ness 21:30, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Groove theory

Contains explanation of what it is, as well as an important historical document. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Groove theory)

Against Needs formatting. Big Time.--Ross^WHO????ness 22:11, 23 August 2012 (BST)

It's a neat idea (and I was even the one who ended up reporting it and getting it fixed the most recent time it was "fixed"), but that page is poorly written and needs formatting. —Aichon— 00:30, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Its irrevelevant now. A nice companion to RNG for historical purpose. Maybe merge relevant info into RNG. ~ _{00:59, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Malton Incident

No longer just a text wall, this critical article is now ready to be featured. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Malton Incident)

Against Prefer possible causes....--Ross^WHO????ness 22:11, 23 August 2012 (BST)

It really needs to be broken up into some subheadings still, and aligning some of those pics on the left would help break it up visually too. I may have more things later. —Aichon— 00:31, 24 August 2012 (BST)

No - horrible blocks of paragraphs, doesn't have nice links to other parts of the wiki D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:55, 24 August 2012 (BST)

The Alner Family

The most complete Family article on the wiki. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (The Alner Family)

Maybe. An interesting page, but not sure if worthy. --Ross^WHO????ness 22:20, 23 August 2012 (BST)

That is awesome. Absolutely yes. —Aichon— 00:33, 24 August 2012 (BST)

The detail on this helps give substance to Malton's back-story. I am for it. -- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

Lol who the fuck wrote this? Someone had absolutely no life haha. I also misread the family tree and thought there was 4 generations of inbreeding. Oops. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:57, 24 August 2012 (BST)

A location with a rich and well-documented history. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Anne General Hospital (Dulston))

MehNot really sure locations should really be on this list. Apart from maybe Danger Alley --Ross^WHO????ness 22:23, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Just not feeling it, to be honest. Not awesome enough. —Aichon— 00:34, 24 August 2012 (BST)

The Borehamwood 100

Since we need some non-Malton featured articles other than these and two. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (The Borehamwood 100)

Yep Needs reformatting. --Ross^WHO????ness 22:24, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Not until the formatting is fixed to be something legible. —Aichon— 00:35, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Building Types)

especially moving the contents list to the right. --Ross^WHO????ness 22:25, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Ugh, I tried moving it but the author used clear:both on the images. That needs to be fixed. Formatting seems rather patched together. I like it otherwise. ~ _{01:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Clothes

Complete & informative, with some helpful images. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Clothes)

Informative, yes. Also, very tedious. I'd love a more summarized version of that page. —Aichon— 00:38, 24 August 2012 (BST)

There must be a better way of doing this. Also Monroeville had a few specific items not mentioned, for Video Cameras. --Ross^WHO????ness 00:43, 24 August 2012 (BST)

I agree that this page has some faults and is not complete or easy to navigate. If the "Category:Items" page were not so ugly, I might suggest it here instead. It has a link to clothes and covers the other cities. It serves as a useful hub. Problem is I cannot abide blue on blue and centered. Other problem is that, while useful, it is not interesting.-- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

Dr. Schwan's Culinary

I think this one speaks for itself. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:53, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Dr. Schwan's Culinary)

For I find fiction/humor often underrepresented. Same reason I am for the "you know you've been playing..." page. This one serves a different purpose in a similar way. On the frontpage, there are links to tactics and resources but human interest is harder to come by. This shows the wiki is for more than just instruction manuals on the game. Plus I am a giant egomaniac. -- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

For Several of the current FAs are either dry, boring, or redundant versions of things already explained in game. This isn't one of them.-MHSstaff 02:48, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Guides:Feral Death-Cultist Guide)

Remove mention of Feral Undead and feral zombies at top and work on more comprehensive intro to the concept. Tactics in this article are not specific to the FU or to feral zombies in general and the concept of Death Culting is not self explanatory. -- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

Comments (Guides:kiZombie-English Dictionary)

Yes For my money, one of the more useful pages on the wiki. Wish more people would use it.-- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

Guides:The Zombie Lexicon is already featured. Do we need both? The dictionary and Zamgrh are both linked at the top of the article. ~ _{02:07, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Links are prominent. Guides:The Zombie Lexicon is a lot less user friendly in my mind than either of the other two pages and might dissuade some from getting interested in death rattle, but it is already featured. I withdraw my yes-- Albert Schwan  _{Friday, 24 August 2012}

The dictionary is definitely a better reference and learning tool. Actually I think the Lexicon should be updated with more prominent links to the dictionary. Not long ago, the dictionary was updated pretty regularly. ~ _{02:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}

Group Pages

Any group page or group subpage, whether active, inactive, or historical, can be submitted.

Group Page Criteria

1. NPOV - There should be an NPOV lead or introduction, which explains who the group is (e.g. group type, structure, size, creation). Since it's expected that the article is created from the group's perspective, the rest of the page need not be neutral. The NPOV lead only applies to the main group page.
2. Presentation - An interesting and original page design, brought about by the code and any images, is a possible way to satisfy this criterion. Writing style and content can also satisfy the criteria.
3. Well Written - The writing is grammatically correct and clear; it communicates what it's trying to say.
4. Generally Awesome - This is a joke criteria, hence it is very serious.

As Ross. We should update it; I actually like it more for its technical features, both with the wiki switching codes used for the tabs and the maps showing targets and number of times hit as well as horde paths. -MHSstaff 02:19, 24 August 2012 (BST)

Given that the wiki has space devoted to journals and fiction, it is clear (to me) that the wiki is here both to educate as well as entertain. As one of the main zombie-centric media outlets, with a collection of over fifty articles and forty issues over a four year span, the MHS does a little of both, ranging from articles covering early game history, to interviews with historic figures from all sides, to reaction pieces on events and in-game trends. Yes, some of it is propaganda, but it is also fun propaganda that I think helps to capture some of the flavor that exists inside and outside the game. -MHSstaff 02:16, 24 August 2012 (BST)

User Pages

Any user page or content can be submitted. For example, journals, works of fiction or stories related to zombies or Urban Dead. Note that user pages being submitted should have their own, dedicated page (a subpage).

User Page Criteria

1. Presentation - An interesting and original page design, brought about by the code and any images, is a possible way to satisfy this criterion. Writing style and content can also satisfy the criteria. User pages that have content consistent with guides or wiki rantings still need to be accurate and complete, similar to the Article Criteria.
2. Well Written - The writing is grammatically correct and clear; it communicates what it's trying to say.
3. Generally Awesome - This is a joke criteria, hence it is very serious.

Misanthropy's Map Toolbox

Not sure if this qualifies as a user page, but either way it definitely deserves featuring. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 20:56, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Comments (Misanthropy's Map Toolbox)

Against. Its not a particularly good map, it failed to even get onto the guides page, and its not really that interesting. On another level, surely we should inform users when their user pages are nominated?--Ross^WHO????ness 21:13, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Good idea. I'll let Mis & AHLG know. Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 21:16, 23 August 2012 (BST)

Its well written and easy to follow. Only downside is that its only one type of map. I'd like to see a similar map toolbox page with different map styles. ~ _{03:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)}
