Featured articles in Brickipedia

This icon symbolizes the featured content on Brickipedia.

Featured articles are considered to be the best articles in Brickipedia, as determined by Brickipedia's editors. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at featured article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to our featured article criteria.

At present, there are 41 featured articles, of a total of 40,005 articles on this Wiki. Thus, about one in 970 articles is listed here. Articles that no longer meet the criteria can be proposed for improvement or removal at featured article review.

Articles that gained featured status prior to the implementation of the current criteria are preliminary marked with a small star () until proper FA status is reinstated.

Featured article criteria

For an article to be eligible to become a Featured Article, it must...

...follow the Manual of Style in all aspects.
...have at least one well-written original paragraph describing what the article is about.
...have a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections.
...have several relevant section headings and considerable content (continuous text) in the respective sections.
...be complete in a way so that it does not neglect any major facts or details and constitutes a detailed description/overview/presentation of the subject in question.
...have its infoboxes filled out completely, or as best as potentially possible.
...be unbiased and written from a neutral point of view.
...contain several relevant images, apart from the one in the infobox, that are placed within the text, in addition to pictures in a gallery.
...not be tagged with improvement messages, since the FA should already comply with the MoS and be both complete and neutral.
...not be about an as yet unreleased set, minifigure or theme.

+== List of Featured Articles ==
-#First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
-#Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
-#Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
-#The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
-#Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".
-<big>''How to vote:''</big>
-#Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
-#Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either '''support''' or '''object''' the article's nomination.
-##If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. '''Please cite which rule your objection falls under! Failure to do so will result in your objection being considered invalid.'''
-#As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
-#Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".
-Also remember to add {{nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
-Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the [[Main Page]] as featured, marked with the {{featured}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{tl|featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

-** Nighthawk: Infobox has been replaced, minifigures have been archived on my test page (to be retrieved later), but can you tell me how to resize/make the image small in the infobox on my talk page. {{User:Cpatain Rex/sig}} 06:11, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
