==Process of voting and nominations==
This month's contest is the '''gallery creation contest'''!

;BOLDED TEXT is most relevant to users voting or nominating.
===Initial nominations===
'''Anyone may nominate any contest they wish, as long as the article as not [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Contest/Past Contests|already been featured]] or already nominated. Please follow this process:'''
# '''Start a new section below with a link to the article being nominated. '''
# '''In the nomination, explain why a page is being nominated and how it fits Featured Contest criteria. '''
# '''Sign the nomination using four tildes ({{Sign}}).'''


===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 Contest. After review of the article, an Administrator will perform one of these options:
# Approve the contest and open up a new sub-section for votes
# Deny the nomination, while citing what reason(s) the nomination was denied.


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

==Voting Guidelines==
#Under the "Votes" Section, place the name of the content you wish to nominate in between three equals signs as follows: ===Gallery Name=== and place your gallery beneath.
#Slideshows are allowed. Normal rules apply.
#Place # and 4 tides underneath the nominated gallery. The code will automatically convert into your user name and the time of your vote. '''You must sign your name.'''
#'''Do NOT vote for the same gallery more than once.''' Each bullet (#) counts as a vote.
#Please add new nominations to the '''BOTTOM''' of the list.
#The images used '''must already be uploaded''' to or embedded on The Sims Wiki.
#You can pick any theme, name and images for your gallery. No more then 10 pictures in a gallery/slideshow.
#It's a good idea to see how other nominations are added before adding your own.


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

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


===Selection===
== Behold the Reaper! ==
*At the beginning of each new month, an administrator will determine the nominated contest with the most votes - each vote will count as +1 or -1 towards the total votes for the contest. The contest with the highest vote total ''may be'' selected as the Featured Contest.
<gallery type="slideshow">
*If, at the beginning of any month, a contest 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 contest and deny or postpone the nomination, or may choose to allow voting to continue.

*All contest 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 contest for a particular month for one of three reasons:
File:Plead_grim.jpg
#The contest, since its nomination, has declined in quality to a point where it is no longer Featured Contest quality

#The contest received many votes which did not refer to the quality of the contest, but instead showed favor towards the content of the contest only.

I think this contest should be featured as you can see that it has been managed pretty well and it is of high quality meaning this would be a good candidate for reviving the Featured Contest. {{LabSig}} 23:28, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
