Community talk:Featured Content: Difference between revisions

Personally, I think any one of the GTA Games should be a Featured Article. Maybe even the GTA Series in it's entirety. So, long story short, I think you should put one of these as a featured article: [[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA1]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969]], [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1961]], [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA2]], [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance|GTA Advance]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] - [[User:Carl "CJ" Johnson|CJ]] 23:05, 15 June 2007 (BST)

:Sorry for the delay. Featured articles are supposed to represent the best pages, not the best subjects. Pages with good editing, spelling, grammar, links, images, categories etc; rather than just important pages. The games are all listed in the menu on the left, no need to make them featured as well. The [[Grand Theft Auto: London 1969|GTA London 1969]] page is pretty crap, and definitely does not deserve featured article status. [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City in GTA IV]] is a good article, and does deserve featured article status. [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas]] is pretty good too, although it could do with text as well as the table. There are quite a few other [[Special:Longpages|Longpages]] that could be considered, such as [[Leone Family]].

 

:Today's featured article on Wikipedia is [[wp:Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon]] (the Queen Mother) - not the most important page in the world, but featured because of its quality and completeness: ''"A featured article exemplifies our very best work and features professional standards of writing and presentation. In addition to meeting the requirements for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes."'' - see [[wp:Wikipedia:Featured article criteria]]. Hope that answers your question - [[User:Gboyers|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Gboyers|?]]) 02:30, 26 June 2007 (BST)

 

:[[The Cousins Bellic]] and [[Banshee]] look good, i doubt they could get any better. [[User:Andrew22k|Andrew22k]] 16:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 

:Yes, I think [[Banshee]] deserves to be a featured article. I don't think [[The Cousins Bellic]] should be on because there is a broken link on the page. --[[User:Aussiebushmatt|Aussiebushmatt]] 18:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

 

 

[[It's Your Call]] has everything a mission article should have and looks like a good example of a mission article, and i think we need a featured mission, any suggestions? also what about [[Random Characters]] and [[Completion in GTA IV|100% Completion in GTA IV]]. [[User:Andrew22k|Andrew22k]] 22:35, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 

:It's Your Call fails as it does not follow the mission format as it is a walkthrough, which should be moved to It's Your Call/Walkthrough once the mission article is created. As for other articles may I suggest: [[Salvatore Leone]] and [[Characters by Surname]] (although I'm in the process of revamping that page in [[User:A-Dust/Sandbox 1|this sandbox]], unless people believe the current article is better). [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 23:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 

:yea, i dont know the best articles but i think we should have find a featurable mission/s and character/s and the two other articles i mentioned. [[User:Andrew22k|Andrew22k]] 23:12, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

 

[[Algonquin Outer Line]] should be featured.[[User:Andrew22k|Andrew22k]] 15:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

 

Are [[Characters in GTA San Andreas]] and [[Characters in GTA Liberty City Stories]] good enough to be featured? [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 16:26, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

 

::sounds like a good idea [[User:Chip2008|Chip2008]]

 

:I'd rather not have loads of articles of the same type. Lets try and get a bit of variety, using the best of each type of page. Put in one list, one character, one mission, one vehicle, one weapon, one gang, one location, one feature, one plot/war, one forum discussion etc. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ^{[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]} 00:21, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

 

I would like to suggest removing the [[Liberty City in GTA IV]] article from the featured list. The Liberty City in GTA IV article is in my opinion poorly written, as if it is a game guide or manual, and is not the kind of article we should be saying is the best. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 14:20, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

 

May I suggest any of the [[Characters by Surname]] articles and [[Salvatore Leone]]. Also, before Gboyers says that there should be a variety of featured articles, may I state that three of the five featured articles are vehicle articles (the Ambulance, Banshee and Taxi).

I think it's time we nominate a few articles for FA. [[Liberty City in GTA IV]] has been the featured article for a very long time now and it's time for something new. --[[User:Sean93|Sean93]] 13:38, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

 

 

I think that [[Stretch]] is very well written,has a lot of pictures and information, and is on par with other FAs.Whatcha think?--[[User:Oreo Biskuit!!Eleven|Oreo Biskuit!!Eleven]] 17:13, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

 

 

I would like to nominate the following articles for Featured Article status: [[Vice City Fire Department]], [[Police Car]], [[LCPD in GTA III Era]], [[Cheetah]], [[Infernus]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era]], [[VCPD in GTA III Era|Vice City Police Department]] and [[Special Vehicles in GTA Vice City]]. Any thoughts?--[[User:MrLanceVanceDance|MrLanceVanceDance]] 05:18, 6 October 2011 (BST)
