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. NinjaCoachZ 14:36, 23 March 2010 (CDT)

Personally, I think that it can lead to bias towards certain articles, so I vote it down. The possibility of abuse means that it isn't worth trying. -Yoshit
It would have to be something that people can agree on. If it's done on a bad article, then it stands little chance of being featured. NinjaCoachZ 16:16, 23 March 2010 (CDT)
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? 'Cause if it's not like that, then I'm not sure what you were going for here. - Crazy Luigi 16:22, 23 March 2010 (CDT)
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 guess that it could be something that can work, but I think that for a special rule, the creators of the articles that were made, such as myself and Yoshit on most of the Punch-Out!! characters and NinjaCoachZ on... well, anything Transformers related. The reason why that should be a rule is we don't any unfair advantage towards the original creators, now would we? - Crazy Luigi 16:35, 23 March 2010 (CDT)
