Fairy Tail Wiki:Featured Article/October 2013

How to Vote

 * No person's vote counts more than someone else's. Administrators' and Policy and Standards Council members' included!
 * Users are allowed to cast one "Support" vote only. If a user casts more than one "Support" vote, all of their votes will be moved to the "Deleted Votes" section by an Admin. The user will be notified about this by that Admin and will be invited to cast a new, proper vote.
 * Admins, do not remove a user's vote without contacting them.
 * Users may also use one "Oppose" vote. This vote if used properly counts towards the candidate's total. If not then it is just to show other users problems with the article.
 * You do not have to use the "Oppose" vote if you do not wish to. However, if you use the "Oppose" vote, you are strongly encouraged to also use the "Support" vote to suggest your alternative.
 * Any vote cast without using the  or   templates will be deleted.
 * All votes must be signed. A user will be given until the end of voting deadline to sign their vote, otherwise it will be deleted. (You can sign your vote by adding 4 tildes to the end of it ~ )
 * A user may change his/her vote or stated reasons at any time until the end of voting deadline, so long as they do not post multiple votes.
 * The voting period ends on the day before the end of the month to allow time for the featured page to be prepared and put up on the first day of the new month.
 * Votes cast after the voting period has expired will not be counted. The timestamp on votes will be used to judge if a vote was made in time or not.
 * Users may not change the content of other users' comments without their permission. It is what they wrote, and it is up to them to resolve any mistakes.
 * In the event of a tie, the winner will be decided by active Administrators and Policy and Standards Council members. This is so the vote can be handled as quickly as possible.

Minerva

 * 1) The only character articles I see worth being featured this month are this and Atlas Flame. However, we still do not know much about him and his page is pretty much poor, whereas this is a very good article, so yeah, I'll go with this one. 23:19,9/24/2013

Hiroshi

 * 1) Why the fuck...  23:03, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Drake

 * 1) ...would you even...  23:03, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Lala

 * 1) ...propose these 3?  23:03, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Rogue Cheney

 * 1) Better than the rest--
 * 2) What's this? More bias? I think yes. =D  01:30, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) An awesome character.  03:52, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) Rogue is awesome, 'nuff said. DarkErigor (talk)  05:23, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5)  Having discarded all of the others, only this one remains. 19:16,9/25/2013
 * 19:30, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) An article about a popular character that will be seen on its own.  21:29, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2) Really guys? -___- 23:07,9/25/2013
 * Rogue has a good article. Whether you like the character or not I believe is irrelevant to a featured article vote. We should be featuring an article that is up to standard and Rogue's is very well done. Remember that this is a vote for the featured article, not the featured thing from FT--
 * I never once said that I was opposing Rogue's article because I didn't like him. I'm opposing Rogue's article because I believe it's ridiculous to feature an article as current and as popular as his. Rogue's article is indeed well done, but I want our featured article to highlight good article's from all points in the series - not just recent chapters - which seems to be what people tend to go for. >_> 23:28,9/25/2013
 * Better to feature a popular article than a low quality one--
 * You're forgetting the third and best option - feature neither of them and feature Tenrou Island. :P 16:49,9/26/2013

Atlas Flame

 * 1) Pretty relevant at the moment, and it was either this or a battle, since that has not been featured in months. However, the battles proposed for Featured Article need to be aged a bit and have their succession links completed (Mages vs. Hunters has it's next battle red linked)  01:29, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Heavenly Body Magic

 * 1)  Yes  23:04, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * 2)  Okay... Carrot-has-a-fucking-rant-time. Each month we feature a quote and image from the recent chapters of the manga. Every week the most recent chapter of the manga is linked on the main page. Every week people come and search up characters they have seen recently in the manga. Don't get me wrong, Minerva, Atlas and Rogue are cool, but with Minerva and Atlas main characters in the current arc and Rogue on the cover of one of the chapters not that many weeks ago, think about how many people come to the wiki and look these characters up anyways. They are well known and they are popular... their articles will be seen naturally on their own. If we feature an article that people haven't seen on a topic they have either forgotten/didn't know existed, people will curiously go read them. These articles link to others that relate and soon you get the chain reaction of one unknown article leading a reader through our Wiki. As such, people like Minerva, Rogue, Lala, Drake etc etc shouldn't be featured in my opinion. We should look to feature articles that people have forgotten about. There are many well written ones on this site that are never seen because they are about old topics... so why not flaunt them in the only way possible? As such, I vote for this article, one that is well written and about a Magic many people like, but perhaps don't know much about. Carrot out... bitches...  11:58, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3)  Voted for this last /two/ month/s ago/, I will be voting this one again. I still like this one, but since I am a bandwagon voter, this is against my policies. >___>
 * 4) Oh well... better chances of getting one of the magic articles, if we "band together", so I swtiched to this from the God Slayer magic. I'll put this to neutral for now and seee if maybe the Tenrou article can make it. If not I'll switch back to this as 2nd choice. NoNickNeeded (talk) 09:54, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5) The featured article is supposed to be a good article we want to highlight. Heavenly Body Magic is a 3 paragraph page that lightly describes the magic. It does not deserve to be featured as it is not a great article--
 * 6) Man I hate how jpg images get even more visible jpg artifacts when they are resized by wikia in infoboxes or otherwise  19:57, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 7) Just here opposing cuz Reli is also opposing every other shit he doesn't support. >:3  20:27, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 8) I'm actually kinda with Flipsy on this. >_> But I don't want Rogue to win, so, if push comes to shove, I'll remove my oppose here and add a support. :P 23:10,9/25/2013
 * No, it's not just because I like Rogue more. I agree with God. 23:13, September 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Although I helped out on this article a while back... God's pretty much got it right. The extra links, pfft, practically every other candidate here has a lot more of them.

God Slayer Magic

 * 1) I love this Magic.  00:00, September 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * 1) Cuz Mega ಠ_ಠ  20:36, September 25, 2013 (UTC)

Tenrou Island

 * 1) It's a real shame this was never featured. It's a great article. 23:48,9/24/2013
 * 2) As much as I like Heavenly Body Magic as magic, this article is the better one. NoNickNeeded (talk) 09:55, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 3) It makes no sense for me to keep a vote under an article that will naturally not be selected because so many people are against it, so I too am switching to Tenrou Island, the article I originally considered voting for before I settled on HBM. And if anyone dares to say this article is "not good enough" I'll personally see them strangled...  10:25, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 4) If it means Rogue won't be Featured  18:57, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * 5)  17:33, September 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * 6) Ugh fine.. >____>
 * 7) After understanding that Rogue's article doesn't need to be featured and re-reading Tenrou's article again, I have to agree that it's a better choice. 16:42,9/28/2013
