Forums: Index > Senate > Featuring



I'm thinking let's choose a world for featuring on the (otherwise quite empty) main page. It doesn't have to be complete; it doesn't have to be in progress; it doesn't have to be significantly developed; it can even be a repeat featuring. Just choose one (that you like), and nominate/vote below. I would like there to be around two featured worlds per month, so let's get our act together and select one for early September. Then afterward we can work on cleaning up the selected worlds and get it ready for presenting, along with a summary of why it's featured.

To make it fair for those who are split between worlds, you may vote 0 or 1 for individual projects, without limit on the total number of votes.

Of course, you can propose to change these rules too, but in that case hurry!

Nominations and Votes: Early September 2008

Note:Upload Orbital: The Vishnu Rings obtained the most votes.

Nominations and Votes: Late September 2008

  • Planet Boyi
    • Vote - This planet is a full-fledged article which I think is very, very developed, complete with demographics, geographics, histories, technologies, and all different angles of life as one would see in an encyclopedia. And it has consistent images to boot. I'm thinking we feature this particular article by itself since the rest of the world is underdeveloped. Tel Loiryn 14:04, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Vote Thyles 14:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: Early January 2009

  • Future World
    • Vote - Great idea. I hope it attracts more people. Nkr20 04:10, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Vote - It needs all the advertising it can get. Tel Loiryn 01:45, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Vote - Pro (btw, have you realised we hit 2,500, which means we are on an upper grade now in the wikia universe: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Big_wikis)Thyles 12:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Vote - Definitely needs the advertising. BTW, who maintains and upkeeps the featured worlds? I don't think it has been updated in months. Am I allowed to change it or is that an admin only thing? United Planets 08:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Vote - I like it! - Dymero 01:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Since nobody seems to update the featured worlds, I'll do it myself. We obviously have a 100% vote for Future World. United Planets 05:56, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: March 2009

I've set the next round for all March since February's just about over and early February is WAY over. Tel Loiryn 15:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

  • United Islands of Georgeland
    • Vote - Wake up people! January is over! Anyway, since we have a lack of good worlds to feature, let's just do Georgeland again and hope somebody comes up with something better. Richmondappleeater 03:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
    • Vote - Nothing beats Georgeland. In terms of brute size, that is. Tel Loiryn 15:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • Nearly Real World
    • Vote - NRW is the 5th largest world on this site, with hundreds of articles, and these aren't all cheap-shot articles either. Well developed, complete with pictures, and covering just about every part of the conworld, the project is definitely worthy of being featured. Plus, it has contributors from across the wiki's history, and is the ultimate example of people pitching in to create a united world. Tel Loiryn 15:34, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
  • if it alreayd have why another? take some other then EmperorZelos 16:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: December 2009

Anyone care about November/December? Nkr20 02:52, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

  • Leubantia
    • I suggest my country, Leubantia. Very well written, as it is long and detailed. TurboGolf 08:15, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
      • It's not long and detailed. It's a collection of stubs plus a few only somewhat long and detailed articles. I disagree. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:50, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: January 2010

We need to have a feature. This vote's results will be on the main page until January ends. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 03:28, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Well, since putting up Future World was a simple rollback to the second-to-last featured world content, I just went ahead and put that up so I don't forget. But that's really after only about a single day of voting, it has a slim majority, so if more votes come in to give another one the lead feel free to put the winner up over what I've done. (Note also that this is the 2nd repeat in a row now, it might be nice to choose a different one this time or maybe for the next one, at least.) --DatorXodar 23:05, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: February 2010

Time for February's world. The winning world shall stay up until February ends. TurboGolf 16:04, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Lol, you're gonna try the self-voting again? I don't think everyone else will go for it. Woogers 16:49, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
And it's not "long and detailed". . . is a collection of stubs with a few actually long pages that all make the category big. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:06, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
  • Leubantia
    • Vote - Pro - Very long and detailed and it is mine TurboGolf 16:04, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
  • Joint Status for GTO Member States
    • Vote - Pro - Each country gets featured status, and the Featured section on the main page contains a paragraph for the five of them. That's not too much to ask is it? Woogers 16:49, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Yeah. That sounds a bit fairer. TurboGolf 18:20, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
    • Vote - Pro - Yeah... —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 22:06, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

    • Vote - Con - Ditto. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 04:14, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
  • Union of Everett
    • Vote - Pro - It's the biggest in Future World, and probably one of the biggest on the wiki at all. Woogers(lol what hax) 02:37, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
    • Vote - Pro - well-built, detailed world, with the hottest president of all times ;D Thyles 11:57, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
I just don't see it. I really don't. Woogers(lol what hax) 11:59, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
Frankly, I don't care if she's hot, it was just funny to mention again. Thyles 12:12, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
Dude, how do you not think she's hot?? Rachel Leigh Cook is gorgeous. Also not gonna vote since self voting is cheap. Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 12:39, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
We are both silly with our government officials being actors. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 16:49, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
Jason M. Harris is an actor too. Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 17:28, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not changing my vote, but Everett deserves to get this award at some point or other, despite having ethical problems. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 01:50,

What ethical problems?Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 01:58, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
Using droids to kill in cold blood. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:08, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
They are not murdering people. It's a war. Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 02:12, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
But have droids just to win the war. In a traditional war, each side gives up something to fight for whatever. But you give up NOTHING while others are getting killed. Do you understand the meaning of killing in cold blood? You don't seem to understand it fully or deeply. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:15, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
Why do you bother complaining? Firing a hurricane at an island that just got hit by a devstating earthquake is killing on a mass scale of innocent civilians in cold blood. Ham Ham Time (User/Talk/World/WAT) 02:20, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
No it isn't. First of all, it only made a small storm in Haiti and was aimed at Mexico, New Orleans, the Eastern Seaboard, all of which are easily evacuated (and Everett knew of the hurricane about three days earlier than usual). As well, it's not cold blood. It took thousands of brave soldiers days of work in the dangerous deep sea to install all those MQBs. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:26, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
Ya'll, this isn't the place for this argument. Woogers(lol what hax) 02:30, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

March 7, 2010 (UTC)

  • CEAS and PAFF
    • Vote - Pro - Despite internal conflicts and not being a world per se, it's da hot stuff right now and it makes Future world a complete story. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 04:14, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
    • Vote - Pro - Very important in Future World and yeah, it's da hot stuff. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 12:28, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
I've already made my con vote, but glorifying the schism is a bad thing. Woogers(lol what hax) 00:52, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, looks like PAFF/CEAS or the Union of Everett is going to win. How about we feature Future World with special information of PAFF, CEAS, and Everett? Because really no one else is voting besides Tharnton maybe, who will vote for Leubantia as usual. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 01:20, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


We've done Future World three times already. We have to do something different.Woogers(lol what hax) 02:29, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

That pretty much rules out CEAS and PAFF. How about Everett? —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 02:31, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Everett it is. —Detectivekenny; (Info) Preceding text certified by R. Xun as of 02:33, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

  • Georgeland
    • Vote - Pro- Very good world. Better than my world. If it hadn't been mucked up, I would vote for Leubantia. TurboGolf 19:39, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: April 2010

April is ticking by, let's get the next featured world up before half the month is out. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 21:37, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Spanish Islands

  • Vote - Pro - We pick the same projects month after month and need to diversify. Plus, this is one of the world's few remaining monarchies, which is really interesting. Especially being a post-colony. Woogers(lol what hax) 21:46, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
  • Vote - Pro - Yes, and it will also give a little NRW thing as well.

Nominations and Votes: May 2010

Ivalice is full of red links, its history is more than half blank, and it has more coverage holes than swiss cheese. And you want it to represent this community? I refuse to submit. Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 13:49, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Nominations and Votes: November/December 2010

Two consecutive Novembers (08 & 09), New Cambria has been outvoted for Featured World. Will you throw in your support this time, since the 2010 New Cambria National Song Contest is fast approaching? Nkr20 18:29, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Please add it right now -- it has won previous contests, but was never put up. —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 19:48, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Srsly guys! If I have to see the same featured article for another day, I am going to start thinking we are all dead. Where is Woogers with his awesome new design? -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 16:15, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Woogers' design is waiting for more feedback and potential changes before moving forward. Woogers is here, like always. Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 16:54, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

The fact that Woogers didn't get much feedback yet is because people don't care. Woogers can bring it in now. -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 17:00, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

The design is not ready. I need feedback on what to change, and we still need to formalize a voting system for the new featured sections, because this thread here isn't going to move the homepage forward at all, because no one votes on it.

We voted, but nobody implemented it... -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 17:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Four people voted. There are at least three times as many active editors. Now imagine the apathy that'll take place if they have to vote on four different things every week? It'll never work.

Because admins have bad taste. And this IS a democracy. Its a wiki, for chrissakes, ANYONE can edit it. Power is bestowed upon random people to make changes. Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 17:31, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Anyone can edit, but not everyone should have voting power. These who chose to vote may, these who read the topic and just go about their own crap shouldn't. Four people voted, so 100% of the voters voted, what more do you want? -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 17:33, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

At some point, apathy will be so degenerative to the point that no one votes. What do you do then? Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 17:35, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

No. If no one votes, the front page never changes forever. This is beyond ridiculous. Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 17:44, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

And the new crap look will f**k everything up on November 3rd (except for woogers -- he uses monobook). —Preceding signed comment added by TimeMaster (talk • contribs) 20:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

What does that have to do with our front page design? Woogers - talk (File:Flag of the East Asian Federation.pngFile:Flag of Ivalice.png) 20:18, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

I am also using the old version. -Signed by Super Warmonkey, please refer to these pages for more: Super Warmonkey (talk • contribs) 20:38, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the new version shouldn't be a problem to display the new main page. I think your design is very good, Woogers. For the moment, the only thing I dislike is the same icon in every section, but that's easy to solve. I suggest implementing the new main page as soon as possible.

In demonology and paranormal investigation, Belial is a demonic entity of extraordinary power, viciousness and it is a dangerous demon. His name should not be spoken due to the risk the entity may target you. There is a number of demonic possessions I've seen documentaries of that involved this specific demon as the intruding aggressor. It's not one to mess around with.

Elysion (Trying to bring out the fantasy side of conworld if you can't tell)

Elysion is an ocean world which all of it's terrain is divided in islands. Elysion is the greek word for Elysium, which is a section of the Underworld where the heroic and the virtuous receive their final rest. A vast ocean world with a great biodiversity, Elysion has a diameter of approx. 36 yotta (or 6000 Merines). Elysion is fully covered by oceans and islands.The air is breatheable and simmilar to Earth in many ways. It features many differant types of biomes which makes it perfect for a large number of animals and differant species. It is divided into three kingdoms which include: Mer, Eldorado, and the Holy Star. There are also two realms forbidden to Humans, Gundies, and Vampires; Heaven and Hell.

(Having a hard time finding fit media; will a 'mancy' photo of his work?)

Alright folks, a few more hours left. I need a specific description for Gobi-Aoi's Creations and a media. Woogers - talk 20:44, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
