Template:Featured Article

Here, users can nominate and vote for ZW.org'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. In addition, it is particularly fluid in its language style and explanation of its subject. Featured articles should:


 * Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.


 * Be lengthy, yet detailed.


 * Be well organized (as in subdivisions).


 * Cite sources, and cite them properly.


 * Be properly categorized.


 * Contain the most up-to-date information possible.


 * 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.


 * NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

An article needs TEN VOTES in its favor in order to be marked as featured. If it should receive three valid votes in opposition, it will be marked as a failed nomination.

Rules:
 * 1) Please nominate articles below this passage in a new subtopic, with a link to the article's title as the subtopic's name.
 * 2) You may make a maximum of one supporting vote per calendar month.
 * 3) You may make a single vote opposing any nominated article (with no monthly restrictions). These should be reasoned oppositions based upon the criteria detailed above.
 * 4) You may not vote for any article which you have nominated, or for which you have already voted previously.
 * 5) Votes (in support or opposition) should be added in order beneath the respective relevant header (either    or   ), with # at the beginning of the line. 
 * 6) ALL votes, nominations and oppositions MUST be signed using --~. If you do not sign your opinion or second, your vote WILL NOT be counted!
 * If an administrator determines that a particular vote does not follow these guidelines, that admin will negate the vote so that it does not count.
