If you ask me, I believe that an updated version of this idea could work... while the old idea failed because articles were selected seemingly at random, perhaps we could have some kind of system where people could vote for articles that could potentially be featured. For a page to be featured, it'd have to be complete, informative, written somewhat formally, and humourous at the same time (less so on the latter for pooper/source articles). There are a few articles on here that are really great.

:::Do you mean like a poll-like thing for whether you like this article or not and you want to see it featured on the main page in the near future or something like that?

::::I'm just saying this hypothetically, not that I'm really going for it. But what I was suggesting was perhaps a system where somebody could write on one particular article's talk page suggesting that it would be featured, and other people could contest/agree with it, and if it gets much more positive than negative votes in a certain time span (perhaps, say, one month), it would be featured. These featured pages would be put in a category that would be linked to on the main page, possibly saying something akin to, "These articles are the Chewiki's best. Check them out!"

:::::::I'm glad you see that. Just between you and me, what would you choose from ''my'' articles for something like that if it were to ever materialize? For me to you [[NinjaCoachZ]], I would choose [[Chun-Li]] and [[Jackie Chan]] becuase I had some good laughs involving Chun-Li, while Jackie Chan had two special things that made me laugh at him. Also, we already did have someone kind of nominate [[Dracula]] due to him saying that that article was so funny that he laughed at his business school or something like that. - [[User:Crazy Luigi|Crazy Luigi]] 16:54, 23 March 2010 (CDT) | :::::::I'm glad you see that.

Although I do think article involving random things like [[Lamp Oil|lamp oil]] and [[Soda]] are forbidden to be featured articles unless their unique to be able to stand out of the crowd. The reason is that they're basically speaking the same things like who likes them, who dislikes them, and (optional) links involving them. - [[User:Crazy Luigi|Crazy Luigi]] 17:11, 2 April 2010 (CDT) |
