Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

River Zora

This page was refreshing for me. It's an older enemy that got limited exposure in the series. I thought the article was well-fleshed out and in-depth for such unpopular enemy. It has plenty of references, lots of details, a pleasing layout, everything you'd want in an article.User:Matt/sig 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

1. Definitely one of the best enemy pages on the site, its got quite a nice layout without losing vital information, and doesn't confuse details across games unlike many other enemy articles. If it has any faults, its that it probably has a few too many images at the moment of writing, but it has a lot of accurate information and is presented in a good manner.

1. I don't really know, it looks pretty messy to me. The page certainly has enough information, and quite a few references, but image usage especially makes the page seem just ... I don't know, umm ... messy is still the best term I can think of. Especially the trivia section. Just a bit of cleaning and it has my vote. —ZENOX ^T C 22:16, 17 February 2011 (EST)
2. As I have already voted "for" Hyrule Castle this month, I'll just say that it is a good article, but I would recommend losing the trivia section if you wish it to have a real chance at being featured. Vyselink
3. The article is well written, and well-sourced. My only gripe is that it is perhaps the longest "common enemy" article, and it is not yet harmonized with the other "common enemy" articles that have, for the most part, taken on a similar layout. Once this is done, I think this'll be prime for featuring. — cipriano^talk 00:13, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

1. This picture just does not look good. I agree with Zenox. It is really messy. I hate that enemy anyway(Not that my opinion on the enemy itself matters.). TriforceSlash 12:24, 19 April 2011 (EDT) (this is about an article not a picture)'User:Mandi/sig 19:40, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Kakariko Village

File:Kakarikovillageoot.jpg

I expected less when I went to this article. I was surprised with the amount of detail it has. It's not the largest article, but it doesn't need to be. It is large enough to describe the village wonderfully and it has plenty of essential references. Reading it certainly stirs many memories.User:Matt/sig 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

1. I don't really know why. I just think this article is good and helpful. --Toon Link Guy 00:39, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
2. Beautiful and well made page. Exemplifies our quality standards. --Xizor 20:11, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
3. This article has a nice, well designed structure that flows very well when reading, and has good sourcing and plenty of images. It's got my vote. Zelda4life 10:57, 7 November 2011 (EST)
4. I votes for this article, because it's really nice and helpful. It has everything that is needed to get featured. --Niklas 14:50, 26 January 2012 (EST)
5. Definately. Kakariko was a wonderful village in OoT and ALttP. It deserves to be featured more than any other article (Besides Link, Zelda, Ganon, The Triforce, The Sacred Realm). Echo of Courage 11:13, 29 January 2012 (EST)
6. After I first played through Twilight Princess, this was an article that helped me get a better understanding of the game, I like the article. --NorskTW 18:43, 1 January 2012

This is one of the first towns that you actually go to in one of the most famous Zelda games so i defiantly think it should be fetured --Fudgehog15 19:17, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

Articles are featured for the quality of their content. The subject itself is irrelevant. — Hylian King ^[*] 18:39, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

Chuchu

File:Chuchu.png

One of the greatest enemies in the Zelda series. The article is neat, detailed, descriptive, and not one chuchu is discluded. It encourages you to read the whole article. Very cute, and it deserves to be featured. --Masked Kafei 20:31, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

1. This article is lacking in references, and therefore, I do not think it is worthy of the title "featured". --TheHK ^{(T) (C)} 17:42, 11 October 2011 (EDT)
2. No references. No not one. Zelda4life 18:13, 7 November 2011 (EST)
3. OK, nobody's addressed the issue of missing references, so until that's been corrected this can't be featured. User:Adam/sig 02:32, 28 February 2012 (EST)

1. Me like chuchu. --Toon Link Guy 00:40, 21 June 2011 (EDT)

Liking the subject of the article is not a valid vote. Dany36 21:27, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

Bow

File:MM HerosBow.png

As one of the usual handful of items and equipment in the Zelda series, and to Link, as he almost and always has in his inventory, this item is rather important as a tool and weapon throughout all of his adventure, as this article is very nicely detailed and described rather throughly, maybe short, but it's to the point of what it's to be and of it's use in the series with its upgrades. ~ Hylian Historic ~ 02:18, 10 June 2011 (EDT)

1. The article is alright, but isn't outstanding like a Featured Article should be. The article somewhat lacks neutrality. Although it may have potential, I think I can quite definitely say that it doesn't belong up there with the Featured Articles yet. — Hylian King ^[*] 20:43, 12 June 2011 (EDT)
2. It's a decent enough item-based article, but nothing special or particualrly engaging, and the layout seems kinf of chaotic to me. User:Adam/sig 02:32, 28 February 2012 (EST)

Neutral Comments

1. I think the point of Featured Articles is being missed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but what makes an article feature worthy doesn't come from its importance to the series. There are better ones that should be featured *cough* Hyrule Castle *cough* but I'm staying neutral. Zelda4life 23:17, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

1. this article should be the fetured article because not only in almost every game but it's effective against most enimies --Ruchq 17:43, 24 June 2011 (EDT)ruchq

Has nothing to do with the content of the article, rather the subject.—ZENOX ^T C 01:42, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

Helmaroc King

File:Helmaroc King.png

This article is full of knowledge, without excess or repeated information. I think it has amazing detail, especially on the Appearances and Strategy section, and just shocked me when I first saw it. Including the figurine template and plenty of resources, I believe this article has the potential to be featured. --TheHK ^{(T) (C)} 18:05, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

1. Agreed, for all the reasons stated in the nomination. --Xizor 18:38, 6 December 2011 (EST)
