Zelda Wiki:Featured Article Nomination

Fishing
One notable aspect of Zelda Wiki.org is our method of placing similar content from varying games into fewer articles. Fishing is an article representing that, our inclusion of references, relevant images, cross referencing related pages, up-to-date info, and despite having brief how-to sections; the article never seems dominated by with a guidish style. Fishing is certainly worthy of being the standard for all other mini-game articles to follow. 06:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) I'll go for it. It's been edited by many users, is very detailed, and has a lot of good info without being excessive. --Xizor 07:34, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) This article is well written and has sufficient references. Deserving of being featured. 22:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC) 22:35, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) This one looks pretty good to me. Detailed without being overwhelming, well organized, ample references, layout that is appealing to the eyes. Everything you'd look for in a featured article. 18:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) This article is not just detailed, but it is also a major event in many Zelda games.&#123;&#123;SUBST:User:supermariosuperfan/sig}} 15:28, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
 * 5) Lots of helpful information, not repetitive. Perfect for a featured article. HelmarokKing 17:25, 16 October 2010 (EDT)
 * 6) I'll be quick. This article is lengthy, detailed and has perfect images. Deserving of featured page definately! Pokemainiac 04:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
 * 7) Gets my vote. Looks well done and has a lot of information and pictures.  18:52, 31 October 2010 (EDT)


 * First off, I want to support this, because I think the article's great. But I'm still concerned about the status of this article alongside others (mainly Fishing Hole). I know others have shared these concerns, which have mainly been discussed here and here. The two key suggestions were either to create a Fishing template which could be used on various different article (e.g. Fish, Fishing Rod, Fisherman) to unite the information, or to merge Fishing with Fishing Hole. Personally, I think either or both would be good, because as it stands I'm not entirely happy with the way the information on the subject of Fishing is distributed. I've held back on adding Merge templates for the moment, as that would disqualify this article... 13:10, 30 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm with Adam. It's a very good article, but it's a little messy when it comes to related pages. There may be some merging that needs to be done first. 15:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Both articles have been extensively reworked since the last comments on those talk pages, I'll make the case to merge the Fishing Rod content into Fishing, and get that template going. I think a sidequest article would help diversify our featured articles, so they don't look like Featured Characters :p 02:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)


 * 1) yay! i love fishing! ...er, i mean feature this article. its cool.
 * * Vote negated due to opposition guidelines at the top of the page. 18:52, 31 October 2010 (EDT)

Earth Temple
Hey, it's a great and detailed article. The Earth Temple is a great and detailed article, but it is constantly overlooked. Give the Wind Waker some appreciation!


 * 1) This article is beautifully written, complete with maps, info, and plenty of pics! --Linkdude101 6:39, 10 July 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) I'm going to have to oppose this one for a number of reasons. First is the length; I actually think this article is both too long AND too short! By "too long", I mean that there's redundant information (things like the general storyline detail) and the content carries a lot of unnecessary padding. It's already been cut down a lot, but I think there's more work that needs to be done in distilling the content down. But even at its current length, to me there's too little relevant information contained in the text to warrant it being featured. Secondly, I don't think it's especially well structured or laid out, and the section headers seem a little odd. And the third issue I have is the actual subject itself. While that's not normally of much relevance, I do have reservations about featuring a page about one dungeon in TWW over any of the other dungeon articles. For example, the Wind Temple article could be nominated on the exact same basis; it's written in exactly the same style and has all the same merits (and problems) as the Earth Temple article. For me, it just doesn't tick the box of being unique, or even exceptional for that matter. 16:30, 4 August 2010 (EDT)
 * 2) Gonna agree with Adam here. It wouldn't really make sense to feature the Earth Temple and not the Wind Temple. It could also use some cleaning up. Dany36 19:04, 31 October 2010 (EDT)
