This page allows users to nominate a featured article for the main page. The time the featured article changes will depend on the number of nominations received, although the suggested time is one month per featured article.

It is also suggested that nominators and other editors read through suggestions and help fix errors within the nominated article if necessary.

Current nominations[]
Please put all new nominations at the bottom of the section.
Bow and arrow[]
An article that covers the various strategies surrounding the Bow and arrow, and its weaknesses. When nominating this, I wasn't really sure about nominating it, as it seems to only cover its attacking methods and its weaknesses - nothing else.
Discussion[]
Support - As nominator. --Talk to NOBODY 20:55, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - I support this article being nominated, but first I had to fill in the appearance section, because a featured article cannot have empty sections. Otherwise, really detailed article, with lots of information and strategies in the game information section. -- Ayernam 21:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - Though, it could use an extra picture, maybe a screenshot from the game of a soldier wielding a bow? Random-storykeeper 22:50, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
Snot[]
Covers a lot about a generally overlooked character, including its various appearance - it also has lots of pictures.

Support - This is a great article! I especially like the evolution template, because it really shows how the snot has evolved from its simplest to most complex forms. Also, lots of description in all sections. I also made two of the images transparent, so now they are all transparent. -- Ayernam 21:23, April 27, 2013 (UTC)
Support - This one has a good abundance of pictures to balance out the text. What about adding a screenshot from Snot Put of the background with snot? Random-storykeeper 23:02, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- I added the pictures of snot from the backgrounds of Snot Put and Super Snot Put. -- Ayernam 19:52, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Support - Shall we feature this for May? It seems the most ready to be featured. SQhi•(talk)Wiki Planner 15:59, April 29, 2013 (UTC)
Jack Frost (characters)[]
A very well written character article that doesn't seem to have any major flaws. I think it would work well as a featured article.

Unsuccessful Nominations[]
Nominations that do not meet the above criteria should be closed immediately by an admin and archived. Other nominations where the community consensus leans towards delisting from the "Current nominations" section after a week of discussion should be closed and moved to the same page.
