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.

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)

Support

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.

Opposition

1. The article may be well written, but it's lengthy, and the theory section needs to be cut. With a bit of work, it'll be perfect for featuring. User:Darkness/sig 01:38, 18 December 2012 (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. —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)

Negated/Retracted Votes

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)

Helmaroc King

• Score: 2
• Final Date: April 13, 2013

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)

Support

1. Agreed, for all the reasons stated in the nomination. --Xizor 18:38, 6 December 2011 (EST)
2. I'd love to see this article featured because of how amazing this boss battle was as well as how impressed I was when I saw this boss for the first time. User:GeneralTarken/sig 03:19, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Negated/Retracted Votes

I agree for this article to be nominated because, when I first played Wind Waker, the Helmaroc King really struck me as amazing. -- Shyla12323 15:24, 17 December 2012 (EST) Negated because liking the subject is not a valid point to support a nomination.User:Justin/sig 01:32, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
