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.

Proposed featured articles
- 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. I will think more about which players have round details as well, and of course series and CofCs are another good source of FA's. Mglovesfun 13:35, 9 April 2008 (BST)
