Twice each month on The Sims Wiki, we feature an article on the main page. Pages featured in this way should be the very best that The Sims Wiki has to offer. All pages nominated for Featured Article status undergo review.

Nomination Guidelines
This page exists for formal nominations for Featured Article. Before any voting can take place on an article, an administrator or bureaucrat must review the article being nominated and determine whether the page is worthy of Featured Article. Pages deemed to be too short or too long, poorly-written, lacking photos or images, or pages which are deemed to be in need of improvement may be denied nomination for Featured Article.

Initial nominations
'''Anyone may nominate any article they wish, as long as the article has not already been featured or already nominated. Please follow this process:'''
 * 1) Start a new section below with a link to the article being nominated. 
 * 2) In the nomination, explain why a page is being nominated and how it fits Featured Article criteria. 
 * 3) Sign the nomination using four tildes .

Administrator review
Once an article has been properly nominated, an administrator will open the nomination up to comments while they review the article to see whether it is fit for Featured Article. After review of the article, an Administrator will perform one of these options:
 * 1) Approve the article and open up a new sub-section for votes
 * 2) Postpone approving the article for a set length of time (using the Countdown template) so that users can make improvements to minor article issues
 * 3) Deny the nomination, while citing what reason(s) the nomination was denied.

If option two is used, the article will be reviewed again at the end of the countdown, then will either proceed to vote or will be denied based on whether the highlighted issues were improved.

If an article nomination is denied, it cannot be remade for three (3) months.

Note: If an administrator nominated an article, it must be reviewed by a different administrator.

Voting
Once option one is used, the article will be available to be voted on. 'Anyone may vote for as many articles as they choose''. Please do the following when voting:'''
 * 1) Explain why you are voting for an article - be sure to focus on the quality of the article, over the content of the article itself.
 * 2) If voting against an article, explain why you are voting against it - be specific and clear.
 * 3) Sign all votes, and do not vote for the same article more than once.
 * 4) When nominating an article, the nominee cannot vote for it.

Selection

 * At the beginning of each new month, an administrator will determine the nominated article with the most votes - each vote will count as +1 or -1 towards the total votes for the article. The article with the highest vote total may be selected as the Featured Article.
 * If, at the beginning of any month, an article has more votes against it than votes for it, it will be immediately re-reviewed by an administrator, who may choose to stop voting on the article and deny or postpone the nomination, or may choose to allow voting to continue.
 * All article nominations expire three months after the last vote for the nomination. If a nomination expires, it may be immediately re-nominated by any user, and will proceed through the process outlined above.
 * Administrator override - An administrator may override the votes for a featured article for a particular month for one of three reasons:
 * 1) The article, since its nomination, has declined in quality to a point where it is no longer Featured Article quality
 * 2) The article received many votes which did not refer to the quality of the article, but instead showed favor towards the content of the article only
 * 3) There is an article on the wiki which is relevant to a current event or current/recent release, such as an article about a recently-released expansion pack.

Other information
All votes that were present on the page as of the changeover to the new system have been removed. Any of those articles are open for re-nomination, but must go through the review process.

Votes and Nominations
''Place your nominations or votes below the article(s) you would like to see featured. Nominations and votes should be based on the article quality, not the content of the article. Please justify all nominations and votes, and sign them using four tildes .''

Inventory
I think the Inventory page has great layout and I think the wording is good. Bakerychaz 11:35, June 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Postponed - Could use an image or two imo. Re-opening when this is addressed.

Werewolf
Pretty detailed, highly relevant to the series and aside from fixing the odd typo/grammar error just now with Bawt, there no major issues whatsoever. 19:41, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Approved: There is one issue on the page - a claim seeking confirmation by a player - but the issue is not major and does not detract from the quality of the page. --  LiR speak ~ read 20:04, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Apartment
I think it's quite detailed, with some pictures to decorate it, and pretty long. I guess the only problem is the roommate redlinks. I properly linked all links to roommates where it'd need before the page itself exists, but I suppose the better solution for that is to create the page rather than unlink them all.

Alien
I think the Alien page is good. And the page is one of the most visited pages.  Dila  ~ Chat-Contributor 07:56, November 23, 2012 (UTC)
