Forum:Good Article proposal

I'm back again with yet another proposal for ya'll to comment and vote on! Rather than focusing on policy and guidelines like so many proposals are focused on these days, this one i'm creating is concerning user recognition without the need for a month-long process.

Over the past year or so, i've watched a great deal of writers stop by Halo Fanon with fantastic articles attributed to their short or long list of contributions. Although, due to the stature and aura of many on here, their efforts to write awesome displays of great fan fiction largely go unnoticed. This isn't only about the Fanon of the Month or the HF annual awards, but just a simple recognition by our community in general. Saying that, it also presents a nature of being "small" compared to some of this site's most well known and decorated writers. And that's exactly why i'm creating the "Good Article proposal".

Much like the Featured Article nominations seen on encyclopedia wikis (such as Halopedia, Wookieepedia, etc.), this "Good Article" group would focus on highlighting the best works around Halopedia without nominating it for the month-long Fanon of the Month process. Though it's not intended to replace the FotM in any regards, it should be a stepping stone for people hoping to reach that level of excellence. In order for your work to be labeled as a "Good Article", the writer or a fellow user would nominate the article to a group of 4 or 5 leading members who measure the level of quality, length, media, and other essential things that makes a successful display of fan fiction. Unlike the Fanon of the Month competition, the Good Article process would be available at any time and as long as the community wishes.

Although this seems like a terrific way to get around the steep-hill of a FotM nomination where your good friends may unanimously vote in favor of the article's status, non-panel input from the community would still be greatly weighed and noted in the nomination process. For their efforts, users would receive a credit on a Good Article page, a randomly-generated template on the main page displaying a different article with every refresh, and a nice era icon seen HERE!

All voting and suggestions (which will be very welcomed) will end on Wednesday, June 16th. Please make sure to vote and comment quickly so we can get this rolling! Thanks for reading, and have a great day ya'll!

Rawr,
