UESPWiki:Featured Articles

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. High quality images can be nominated for featured status at Featured Images.

Previous nominations are archived here.

Featured Article Process

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.

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.

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.

Articles whose nominations pass will receive featured article status on the front page for at least two weeks and receive a small bronze star () on the top right corner. If an article achieves featured status before the present featured article's two weeks expire, it must wait its turn.

Nominations and Votes

Online:Vakka-Bok Xanmeer

A great example of a detailed place article. Complete with maps, npcs, and related quests. Whats not to enjoy from a article like this?

• Support: As nominator. —Zebendal (talk)
• Comment: I would like to support, but the page could use some formatting. The maps would be a lot more useful moved into their relevant sections. Also, the Denizens sections aren't that great looking. Perhaps change these to one or two sentences instead? If they are kept as lists, something needs to be done so they don't wrap around the images so oddly. —Dillonn241 (talk) 02:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Without wanting to comment on whether they should or shouldn't actually be lists, I've at least fixed the formatting of the existing lists. It's a widespread problem that I haven't yet found a purely CSS solution for (nor has anyone at Wikipedia/MediaWiki), so in the meantime, there's the {{ListFix}} template. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 04:03, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Lore:Riften

With the recent expansion by Vincentius and the cleanup by Croaker, this page is looking very nice in appearance and complete in content. It provides a thorough overview of the city's history, with coverage for ESO, Arena, Skyrim, and a few periods in between from lore. The layout section summarizes all of the important features, including some names I hadn't heard of before for a mountain range (Ysgramor's Teeth) and the city districts.

• Support: As nominator. —Dillonn241 (talk) 02:17, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
• Comment: I would like to see the ESO references specified. The using of "ESO events" should be minimal, esp. if we actually know where exactly the reference comes from. Tib (talk) 06:56, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
  • I pecked at those sections some more and they should be in order now. I opted to keep "ESO events" as a source for the damage that Sinmur inflicts on Riften because that damage is baked into the game and visible even if you don't touch the Rift's questline.
