Suchomimus is there any specific pages you think need to be created (I actually have a to do list on creating some articles that are essential that i have noticed we are missing). The best thing I can reccomend you perhaps create some of the pages yourself and feel free to make contributions!
Keep up the nominations. If there is any article you think deserves to be a Featured Article post it here (for myself personally I am going to vote for the Elijah article, but I am saying so here rather in the original post so I do not influence others nominations).
Obadiah, ahab's palace administrator and the widom are 2 I believe should be added. What about false gods as they had a role in the bible?
Is there a list anywhere of the articles that are eligible? Â Not saying a list of all of them, but a list of 5-10 to choose from would be nice. Â Just a thought. Â And, I know we'll be choosing soon for Dec, not Nov. Â You should just rename the topic of this thread to remove the November part. Â Again, just a thought.
My best reccomendation is to try Special:LongPages, that way you can find articles that are lengthy enough (that doesn't mean they are good though). As of now, it would be impossible to manually compile a list every month of eligible articles. At this point you can nominate any article of your choosing and an Administrator will be able to determine its eligibility. At this point, though its unofficial, I would say you have till October the 25th to nominate articles before they are voted on (and you would most likely have till the 31st to vote, though that depends on when the last time I look at the list is).
How long ago did the Featured Article contest begin? Â Specifically, is there at least a list of articles that have already been featured in the past so they're not picked again? Â Perhaps something like a 6 month period could put that article back in the running.
The LongPages page will show all the candidates as you pointed out, but I don't know any of the past winners. Â Perhaps you, or someone, could post the past winners in either a Past Winners section, or full article linked to an article describing the idea and parameters of the contest. Â Something like this would be good for people that come along, say, 5 years from now when who knows will still be around. Â If there's one thing I'm good at is seeing the long-game and knowing what people will find valuable, both now and, in the future. Â Thanks!
We have had it since July and so far Joseph (old testament), the creation, Israel. The old testament Joseph article Won two months in a row. As of now we have determined to keep the featured articles partipication more loose and less organized so it is easier to participate. In the future when needed we will organize it further. I honestly think you are thinking too hard about your nominee. Just look around the wiki through search or categories and pick an article you see fit
