To nominate an article go to the nomination page.

Randomisation?

Perhaps randomise the past featured articles so that we can have some variety in the Main Page? — subtank 07:56, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

I'm not sure how we could do that but I'll look into it when I get time. - File:Major.png Nìcmávr ^(Tálk) 14:28, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Change?

Should we change the featured article now. There has been an article nominated.--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs}

Addition to nomination requirements

I feel there should be a time limit on how long an article nomination should last (one week, two weeks, etc.?). It would certainly move things along a lot faster. Any thoughts on this?--Spartacus ^{Talk • Contribs} 00:54, 21 October 2013 (EDT)

Sure, but only as long as someone on the staff makes sure it is known to every user on the wiki. --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 02:14, 21 October 2013 (EDT)Xamikaze330

The limit used to be a month, but judging from the page history, one-two weeks appears to be the amount of time it takes for a nomination to be featured, though partially because those get nominated at the end of the month. As articles are featured based on quality, I see no problem with having more than one featured article each month, as it would mean more articles are at their fullest potential. Plus, we don't have that many featured articles anyway. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 03:17, 21 October 2013 (EDT)

So, along the lines of "A nomination will only be open for two weeks. If a consensus has not been reached, the nomination will be closed. Following this closure, the nominated article can only be submitted after four weeks after the date of the previous nomination"? I added that last sentence to avoid clogging, just in case. — subtank 14:25, 22 October 2013 (EDT)
