Zelda Wiki talk:Featured Picture Nomination

Votes
Can I vote for the same picture twice or more? --Link hero of light 13:50, 18 December 2007 (EST)


 * I don't really think that would be fair :) --Adam 14:12, 18 December 2007 (EST)

Too many pictures
I'd just like to point out that this page has too many Currently Nominated images...--Bigrageous 00:53, 28 December 2007 (EST)


 * Well it used to be six. Adam, left six when there were like seven or eight, I think.  So I think were over and he allowed it this one time, but after one more picture becomes featured the rule will be enforced.  So were free from the rule in that there are five pictures, but we can't nominate anymore.  Sorry I'm tired so I'm not as clear in my words.--Green 01:03, 28 December 2007 (EST)

I'm still kinda new here, but who is Adam?--Claire 00:48, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Adamcox82 is a sysop. He is probably the most active member of the wiki.--Link hero of light 00:52, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Inconsistent Featured Time
It seems a little bizarre to have one image/article featured for less than five days, and then another featured for a month. Perhaps instead of putting up the next one as soon as its voted on, just add it to a list that's rotated weekly (or something along those lines)? --Douken 19:57, 15 February 2008 (EST)


 * I've been thinking the same thing for a while now; to be honest I'm still trying to decide whether the rotation should be weekly, hourly or daily! I'll work on the coding, if you guys could let me know what you'd prefer. To be honest, this has become such a popular feature that each picture will inevitably become featured at some stage (except if the original nominator removes or replaces it), so this would be a more reasonable than what we currently have (where, by rights, I should now be replacing the picture featured only 36 hours ago with a new one!) --—Adam (talk) 02:13, 16 February 2008 (EST)


 * OK, so made a decision and I've set up a schedule which will allow the pictures to be automatically rotated every 48 hours. When a new picture reaches 10 votes, I'll override the auto-rotation and leave it up on the main page for about 7-10 days, than switch back to auto-rotation. At the moment we have Sheik, which will stay up until of next week, then I'll replace it with the pigs until the end of the month, then on to automatic rotation until another pic gets 10 votes (of course, that may change if we get more votes sooner...)
 * As a side thought, we may have to add a subsection for voting AGAINST a picture being featured, since otherwise a picture which some may have legitimate objections to will eventually get featured anyway; thoughts? —Adam (talk) 10:29, 16 February 2008 (EST)


 * The schedule definitely sounds like a good addition. As for voting against a picture being featured, it sounds genius.  I suppose there would be a page listing all featured articles with vote listings underneath it, and ten or twelve votes would be able to disqualify from being featured? --Douken 10:48, 16 February 2008 (EST)
