Smashpedia talk:Article of the Week

Here is where you can discuss what the upcoming Articles of the Week should be. Next week's article needs to be chosen, so discuss here!


 * NOTE: It would be better if we got ahead of schedule on the Articles of the Week - this means we should have both more nominations and more votes. You may vote for more than one article at a time.

Rules for Selection

 * Any user may nominate an article for selection as Article of the Week.
 * Other users shall vote on whether it is well-written enough to merit being featured on the Main Page. You may suggest improvements to the article during this process.
 * If the vote results in a general consensus for the article's selection, a sysop may select the article to appear as a future Article of the Week.
 * Any number of articles may be up for a vote simultaneously.
 * Once an article is either featured as article of the week or is determined to have failed the vote, its nomination shall be moved to an appropriate subpage.

These rules are tentative and can be changed if necessary.

Final Destination

 * Nom and for 19:16, March 16, 2007 (GMT)
 * Weak against, as it is. Not ready yet - it needs wikification and a perhaps-thorough copyedit of the big paragraphs.  It certainly has the stuff of a good stage article though.  23:12, March 16, 2007 (GMT)
 * For -- I agree that this is one of the better stage articles. The Magnum Master 19:48, April 2, 2007 (GMT)

Mewtwo

 * Nom and For WaluigiIsAwesome 20:33, March 26, 2007 (GMT)
 * Against. This is the embodiment of a hyper-technical article that will scare away anyone who just wants to know about Mewtwo. Plus the GIFs lag my computer. -- Kirby King 17:02, April 6, 2007 (GMT)
 * Weak For This is the embodiment of a hyper-technical article I would support as the Mewtwo-as-a-Melee-fighter gameplay-specific article that should be named Mewtwo (SSBM) and link from a general article about the character named Mewtwo. Per what I proposed in SmashWiki Pool Room, structuring the site's pages by the characters represented, rather than the characters as gameplay objects, will make Mewtwo a general article about the character in the style of the recent Universe pages I'vbeen making, and it will link to this gameplay-specific page, which should be called Mewtwo (SSBM), and Mewtwo will link to Mewtwo (SSBB) in the future if he returns in Brawl. I think it'd work best that way, so this article should remove the Origin section because that should go in the general Mewtwo article. Also, add Home Run Contest strategies like what is seen in the Peach gameplay article, and definitely remove the gifs because it takes my dial-up browser a full 30 seconds to load the page, and what the move animations look like probably aren't that important to Smash players anyway.

Teleport (SSB)

 * Nom and tentative for It's pretty complete, but I dunno, it's not exactly flashy or lengthy. --Greenblob 19:03, April 2, 2007 (GMT)
 * Weak For WaluigiIsAwesome 17:11, April 5, 2007 (GMT)
 * For. We don't have a repository of amazing long articles anyways - most of the big ones have equally big problems.  13:55, April 7, 2007 (GMT)
