Zelda Wiki:Featured Article Nomination

Great Flood
The Great Flood is one of the most important events in the Zelda Universe. Though somewhat short, this article does a fantastic job of describing it. Furthermore, every reference in this article is taken directly from the games themselves making this article very reliable and feature worthy. Zelda4life 20:46, 18 March 2011 (EDT)


 * 1) I'm gonna have to say no here. First off, the importance of the subject does not automatically make it worthy of featuring. The article is very short and there really isn't any material that could even be added. In fact some of it has to be removed. A lot of the text is overly elaborate and dramatized as if it was for story telling. Very unencyclopedic. It used to have a lot of speculation in it, though most has been removed already. But still the wording is excessive and drawn out with a slow pace and it dances around the point. Encyclopedias aren't for story-telling, they're for the facts. I'd say it has to be completely rewritten before even considering featuring it. 00:41, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with what Matt said, however, I think that there is room for improvement. I'll see what I can do with it later. But for now, at least, no. 16:44, 6 April 2011 (EDT)
 * 3) I agree with the users above me. --Masked Kafei 06:05, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

I really like THE WIND WAKER. So this is a great story. ( Negated due to rule 5) 17:18, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Four Sword
Like most of the major weapons and items in the series, the Four Sword page has received an outstanding article. With amazing amounts of information, great image usage and plenty of references, I for one say this page is now worthy of featuring. 11:01, 21 November 2010 (EST)


 * 1) The information, as said above, is fantastic, well written, interesting, and full of a lot of knowledge on the subject. There was a lot of things in the article that I found that interested me and helped clear any confusion I had on the subject. DEFINATELY deserves to be featured.  12:38, 1 December 2010 (EST)
 * 2) The information is very in-depth and interesting. The article is a good length for the topic. It gives all the information needed and more. This article definitely deserves to be featured. Danton12396 16:39, 1 December 2010 (EST)
 * 3) I think this article is definitely well-written.  18:21, 21 January 2011 (EST)


 * 1) I think the four sword has great design and cool powers. I mean, what other item can turn Link into 4 copies of himself? Besides, it is the main weapon in one of my favorite zelda games, the minish cap. Four Swords is also good, but I like mc better. Therefore, I nominate this article. "Link4569 16:19, 11 January 2011 (EST)" Personal like has nothing to do with the article in question. 01:02, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

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. 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * 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. 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. 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)' 19:40, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Kakariko Village
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. 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hyrule Castle
A staple of just about any Zelda game, always beautiful, the article is no exception. It covers all the appearances of the castle. It goes into detail but doesn't go so far as to dull you out halfway through. You're engaged in reading it the whole way. And the ample supply of images makes it easier on the eyes to get through the whole thing. It, of course, has a lot of references to support it, making it that much better. Also, a rare treat, the gallery at the bottom has many beautiful views of various incarnations of the castle. 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) I'll go for this one. Plenty of references, nicely written AND lots of visual aid with the images. 8D Dany36 22:51, 15 February 2011 (EST)
 * 2) I'll support as well. It is a fantastic article, well written with great pictures. Vyselink 21 February 2011
 * 3) This article has incredible depth and detail, impeccable grammar and syntax, and above all an abundance of high quality images. The placing of some images makes for somewhat of a lack of visual text flow, but overall its a very good read and definitely worthy of Featured status. 08:29, 22 February 2011 (EST)
 * 4) What more can I say that hasn't already been said. Zelda4life 20:11, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
 * 5) This article references ALL appearances of Hyrule Castle in depth, covering a broad topic well and fluently. Alibi 18:42, 9 May 2011
 * 6) This would be a very wonderful article to be shown on the Featured Article on the main page. Hyrule Castle defines many things, such as the Hylian Family and the Hero of Time/Link, the impending dangers it usually faces, and how it shows the rule of Hyrule, and it's other neighbours, depending on whatever game it appears in. Hylian Historic 17:46, 11 May 2011

Chuchu
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)
