Revision as of 12:35, 9 April 2008
A featured article is of one the Countdownwiki's finest articles. These are selected by the editors of the Countdownwiki on this very page. A featured article could be a player, a game or a piece of terminology. The article should be of a certain length and preferably contain images and external links to make the article more readable.
List of featured articles
- Championship of Champions XII, chosen by User:Reams
- Jon O'Neill, chosen by User:Reams
Proposed featured articles
- Countdown - it was a Featured Article on Wikipedia until a bunch of idiots added a load of junk to it, which I've never had the energy to undo. But the version on here is still pretty good. Sysop 19:53, 2 April 2008 (BST)
- support best article on the whole wiki. Mglovesfun 21:07, 2 April 2008 (BST)
- Des chiffres et des lettres - one of the longest articles on this wiki, contains three images an two external links. Mglovesfun 23:41, 2 April 2008 (BST)
- Support, didn't realise how good this article is. Which I guess is the purpose of these Featured Article. Soo 22:28, 8 April 2008 (BST)
- If we need more articles for the main page, let's think of a bunch of them. I'd go for Julian Fell, Ben Wilson, Martin Gardner (vanity!), Conor Travers, Harvey Freeman etc. Mglovesfun 21:26, 8 April 2008 (BST)
- Yeah, maybe we should have a Project of the Week and try to bring some of those articles up to full strength for future FAs. We'd have to pick the more recent players I suspect, because for a lot of the older one we don't have any more than the scores. Soo 22:31, 8 April 2008 (BST)
- Yes I could start that project right now, we need to decide how often to change the featured article. One thing I noticed is that the <ref></ref> doesn't seem to work on here, or doesn't that matter? As for players with games, there's me, Ben and Conor that all have round details.
