Forum:Featured Article Contest

Ok folks, here's the thing: I currently write all the featured articles. It's not a bad gig or anything, but lately, I've been pretty busy. As such, sometimes it can be a bit difficult getting articles written on time and all that. I'm also (let's be honest) just a tad bit burned out on it at the moment. So...

Time for a contest! Here's how it will work. Each and every editor who so desires can draw up a Featured Article. They should do so by sandboxing it on their user page. I've provided an example of this above. When they have done so, they can submit them on this page by linking to them in the "Submissions" section. Anyone who wants can vote on articles. As far as voting: If we have a total of five or less, everyone gets one vote. If we get up to six or more submissions, people can vote on their three favorites. This will continue right up until the end of the month. On October 31st, I'll go back, determine who won, and the winning submission will be the Featured Article for November. If there are multiple submissions that get a significant number of votes, we'll see if we can't include them in the months to come.

Articles can be about pretty much anything - planets, races, assignments, characters, organizations, etc. If you want to re-do one that's already been done before, feel free! Perhaps you think you can improve on one of our first FAs. If so, go for it!

Hopefully I made this clear enough. If I didn't, feel free to comment below and ask any questions you may have. Thanks!

Oh, and a quick reminder: All submissions must meet the existing criteria for FAs to be considered. The criteria are as follows:


 * the page must be free of spelling or grammatical errors
 * it must contain at least one picture or screenshot
 * it cannot be a current candidate for merge or deletion, or tagged as a stub (pages where the stub tag is an artifact will be considered)
 * the page must be well formatted and tidy

Ok. That should about cover it. Now let's see some submissions!
