Featured

These nominated articles became Main Page features.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

I'm partly doing this to attract attention to it, as the article is probably lacking a lot of the information it could have. Also, I think it's a good article to feature as SSBB's the game of the moment, and it does have a few interesting pictures and bits of writing.GP 15:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Support

• (Nominator)GP
• The fact that it isn't about the games themselves annoys me. However, you have convincing points... Heck, I'll give it a yes. It won't hurt anyone.--Prezintenden
• I support it as long as the discription on the front page says something like "Super Smash Bros. Brawl is a Nintendo Fighting Game in which Olimar is a playable character." 67.172.252.52 01:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  Yeah, it'll be the first paragraph already on the article, plus whatever seems important and well-written from further down.GP 08:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Great idea :DDDDDD!~CrystalLucario~

Scale

I think this is a good article bc it has a lot of info, shows how to solve them, and has good pictures. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 15:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

• Booooooring. Scales are lame. Mikeburnfire 03:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments

Firstly, I think some bits need rewording, as it's a bit...wordy. After that, I'll reconsider.GP 16:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

The Ship

Well-written, adequate images, quite comprehensive.GP

Support

• it's a great page with good images--File:Large pixal snowy bulborb.PNGSnowy bulborb

Figwort

Many (3 decent...*cough*) images, as much as you would want to know, even external links. And it's a plant. No plants have been featured yet.GP

Support

• Nominator.GP
• You try getting a better image from a 25cm diagonal TV.--Prezintenden
• It's the coolest looking plant in pikmin.--File:Large pixal snowy bulborb.PNGSnowy bulborb

Bulbmin

I like Bulbmin because the bulborb-pikmin symbiotic relationship is so unique and compelling, in particular the Juvenile ones you can control. Also, players of Pikmin 2 who stopped playing before encountering them might feel compelled to play it again. 71.205.154.176 23:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Mikeburnfire

• I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be featured. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 03:20, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
• I think bulbmin are awesome an need to be shown. - Jaypikmin
• This is still here? And I didn't vote?GP
• They're awsome! PikPikCarrots342
• They rock! And they rock some more! They're awesome, okay? AFROMAN 15:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

• Right, they're the only non-mentioned Pikmin, so I'll count them as a spoiler; as small as it is. It's certainly an article still worth featuring, but not now. --Prezintenden 18:54, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
• Ditto.~CrystalLucario~

Comments

Also, would it be possible to split up the Bulbmin topic into "Bulbmin (adult)" and "Bulbmin (Juvenile)"? I know that they are both part of the same species, but their roles as enemies and pikmin are vastly different.

I see no reason why to do so. This discussion was also held here. Adding Bulbmin to the main page is rather spoilish. Do we ignore this fact? I'm not sure to what extent this would spoil.--Prezintenden

Actually, I split the page quite a while back, sorting everything out.GP

Were we talking about splitting it into different pages, or into different sections?--Prezintenden

I think the original suggestion was splitting into 2 pages, then we both said it would be better to split the article, which I did. Then it kind of went away.GP 18:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Fix joo think? I'm ~CrystalLucario~ And I approve this message.

Caustic Dweevil

'Cause we need to feature something. I just cleaned up the text in this one, but it could do with a new picture. Another option is Red Bulborb.GP

Support

• Nominator.GP
• Prezintenden
• SirPikmin,Your Bold Pikmin Knight^{Contributions}-It's a good artical.So good, that the first time I read it I thought Olimar himself made it! It has improved ever since.
• Great article! we should also try and feature something now-the bulbmin is getting old.The one and only,Peanut64.

Waterwraith

Support

• The one and only,Peanut64. The article has detail, a good picture and also features a theroy.
• --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT! Well written and good photos.
• This is an interesting creature/entity, it should be featured.Falcoz 20:24, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
• MRPANTS 01:53, March 13, 2010 (UTC) lots of different media and glitches on that page
• Snakeboss14 Let's say this wikia has very few users to make this kind of votes. What do you say?

2-Player mode

Lot's of info, we've had Waterwraith way too long.

Support

• Nominator. Vol (Talk)
• It could be better, but it's good enough, I guess.GP
• It's an important part of the game (kinda; well, it's a sub-menu from the main menu. That's important enough). I haven't played Pikmin 2 yet, but I guess that's all the info that's needed to be complete. {Espyo^T} 12:53, 21 September 2010 (EDT)
• The article is very descriptive on 2 player mode. Turtwig A 19:21, 21 September 2010 (EDT)
• I'm back. And I support. However. as Green said, there are better articles. That being said, this shall suffice. Ridly ^Roar! 06:23, 22 September 2010 (EDT)
• It does need some images, though. Snakeboss14

Purple Pikmin

Support

1. The one and only,Peanut64. I nominated this for a new featured Article, and I like the way the article is set up.
2. GP - Ugh, I guess so. (^Regarding the featured image, I was intending to say we should just have any admin allowed to change it whenever, and users can put ideas on the talk page if they want (as, apparently, I've already stated there).)
3. {Espyo^T} It IS a major part of the game.
4. 173.74.116.119 Very well writen.
5. Vol (Talk) Okay, looks good.

Smoky Progg

Support

1. random creepy guy. I'm nominating this because I think more people shold know about the Smoky Progg, and the article gives lots of information along with some good examples of glitches, battle stratagies, etc.
2. {Espyo^T} Basically, what random creepy guy said.
3. Vol (Talk) It's better than Purple Pikmin (as in the article).
4. Prezintenden - Voting for both, are we, Espyo?
5. GP (^Why not? We need something for after this one.)
6. Mudkip - Basically, Smoky Progg is a somewhat unknown boss, he's cool, has a cool glitch, the page is better, ETCETERA. Plus, I think White Pikmin are out to get your Golden Pikpik Carrots. EVIL
7. 173.74.116.119 I'm nominating this because we need to spead the word about this boss.

Brute Knuckles

Support

1. .:SkaPunkMan89:. 22:18, 28 July 2011 (EDT) Personally, I think this would be a marvelous addition to the feature article section primary because it's a unique treasure and upgrade that is not obtained normally from bosses and is instead obtained from a Mamuta
2. {Espyo^T} It's a bit different from your standard featured article. Why not?
3. GP

Comments

If possible, can we get this to be the new FA as soon as possible. Mamuta has been up there for almost 8 months... --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

Burrowing Snagret

It's a fairly common boss in Pikmin 2, the article contains lots of good information, and it has interesting trivia information as well.

Support

• (Nominator) Vol (Talk)
• GP
• {Espyo^T} - yeah, seems to be fairly complete.

• Pikpikmate (talk)
• Prezintenden
• -Los Plagas (talk)

Comments

So are we going to use this or not? The current article is going to have been featured for a year soon, and since Puffy Blowhog most likely isn't going to win, I think we should just go with this one. -Los Plagas (talk)

Onion

This is a pretty basic aspect of the Pikmin series, but an interesting subject nonetheless. It provides sufficient information about the Onions, as well as each individual Onion type, along with general information about the Onions.

Support

• (nominator) ~PikFan23
• Meh, I guess it's okay. It is well written, and it does provide enough information. I see no reason to oppose, so I'll support. One last thing: at least it's not as desperately needed as a replacement as Burrowing Snagret was. We kept that for literally about a year, give or take. -Los Plagas (talk)
• What Los Plagas said. — {Espyo^T} 08:01, 20 June 2013 (EDT)
• A well written page with pictures, information about the subject,and not too much straying from the facts, this is featured artice gold.- User:Robecuba
• Good enough for me. GP 18:51, 20 June 2013 (EDT)

Carrying

Support

• Without wanting to boast too much, I think it's one of the more elaborate articles we have. It's complete, it has a good images, it has both general information and in-depth detail... I'm just not sure about the speed section. — {Espyo^T} 12:44, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
• I think it's a good article, and I especially like the oversights. Besides, Onion has been up for what, 13 months now? Ugh, let's get Carrying in! ~PikFan23
• ya carrying is to get to the onion so it's better and onions been up for like 13 months-Mns2002

Comments

• I don't mean to be pushy, but, uh... Onion has been up way too long (14 months at this point? Yikes.) and we really need to get in a new FA. A new featured image wouldn't hurt either... Hmm. So many things need to be updated... ~PikFan23 03:01, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
  • After the merge. Then we'll update the background, the front page, the FAs... — {Espyo^T} 04:34, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
    • Of course, I didn't mean during the merge, heh. Great change is headed our way... ~PikFan23 04:23, 23 August 2014 (EDT)

Prototype Detector

Support

• It makes an appearance in Majora's Mask 3D and Pikmin 2 will probably be the first thing that comes to mind to most Nintendo fans L3re7z (talk) 15:52, 23 February 2015 (EST)

Comments

• Now would probably be the best time to feature it. But it must be cleaned up first, because it has a pending task. — {Espyo^T} 16:50, 25 February 2015 (EST)

Arctic Cannon Larva

Support

• It's not an overwhelming article, it's complete, it doesn't have tasks to do, looks nice and tidy. — {Espyo^T} 15:45, 23 February 2015 (EST) (proposer)
• Seems detailed enough. ~PikFan23 16:02, 25 February 2015 (EST)
• It is a memorable enemy, and the article is well made. {GoldenTriforce}

Not featured

These nominated articles did not become Main Page features.

Captain Olimar

He's the main character and has a great article so why not?

Support

• (Nominator) Bucktooth_Tuba
• C'mon guys, this is Olimar! Who cares if he's been featured before, he's the main event! I support. Mikeburnfire 20:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)Mikeburnfire

Oppose

• Okay, I'm actually going to oppose. Firstly, it's a bit predictable, not exactly a novel feature. Secondly, for one of the main articles, half of it is a retelling of the story of both games. It needs some reorganisation at the very least. Finally...we can't all support everything, as it'd be impossible to choose one.GP 18:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
• Ditto.--Prezintenden
• Ditto-errrr... trito?~CrystalLucario~ 12:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Comments

GO GO OLIMAR! I'm RedpikminFlamethrower And I approve this message.

Burrowing Snagret

A fairly popular enemy, but not as common as the Red Bulborb, for example. Also, it is a boss, but not very spoilish. I think the article is well written too. 67.172.252.52 01:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Support

• I agree with nominator.IAMAHIPO_ocolor
• Me too. It's long enough and well-written. Could get a better image and have most of the first bit moved to 'how to kill', though.GP

Oppose

• I think this has already been feautered about the time I started coming... <.<'~CrystalLucario~ 12:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

  It was agreed that if an article was recently faetured in the auto rotation, it is irrelevant and can be featured now again. I would keep this for the future, as it is a good article.--Prezintenden 13:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

S.S. Dolphin

Okay, think, this was the entire reason Pikmin 1 was started. If The Dolphin hadn't have any pieces blown apart, Olimar would just have blasted off again. Their would be no Olimar meeting Pikmin and the series wouldn't even exist. Pik kid 16:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Support

• I suppose. It's a bit short, but there's not much else it could have.GP

Emperor Bulblax

For

• I like it because it has a very detailed summary, and good pictures. Killer bread bug 72

Against

• That isn't that great of an artical, it looks like it should be on GameFAQ's and needs major fixing so it isn't purely a guide, and KB72 you should give us reasons... I'm ~LonelyTurret~ And I approve this message.
• Yeah, it has layout issues and sections aren't divided up very well. Some parts of the text are too long and just look daunting.GP
• He just ain't cool enough if you ask me. AFROMAN 22:18, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

3. Mrblob1012 (talk • contribs) per all

Oppose

1. Vol (Talk) It's a good article, but it's not fit to be featured.
2. Loafy the Breadbug I don't think it would be very good just to feature Pikmin and Creatures. Instead have something like an Area or Treasure.
3. Not great for such an important article; everything's just dumped in the first section. GP

• I'd rather not. Peanut: I wouldn't call it much of a spoiler, but yeah, I see your point. It seems we did actually have that sentence in the feature last time... (At least the image is hidden in the article.) GP
• Yeah, I looked through the featured articles category but didn't notice that this was featured already. -_- Changing vote. --Jelloratbob 17:15, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Pikmin 3

Support

• -~-~-James92498-~-~- (talk) 19:59, 24 July 2012 (EDT) Real name: James. I chose this article just in case if there are a few Pikmin fans out there who haven't been on the internet in a while, but then decide to go on Pikipedia, they would see that theres a new Pikmin game right on the front page. they'd probably be all like, "WHOAH! I've been outside having a life so much, that I didn't even know there's a new Pikmin! Sweet!". Plus, who didn't see this coming; 8 years of waiting, no information during that time, and finally Nintendo decides to unvail it first in their e3 presentation! Sign your name for support!
• Emperor Bulblax (talk) 13:11, 24 August 2012 (EDT)

Oppose

• — {Espyo^T} 07:24, 25 July 2012 (EDT) It's just a small stub with random tidbits of info for now. Not mention-worthy, specially not something we want on the main page. This article will be featured in the future, no question about it, but for now, leave it be.
• GP - as Espyo.
• ~PikFan23 Per above.
• Los Plagas (talk)- Yes, it's not exactly high quality as it is now. Plus, it really doesn't have much information yet. It's just made up of hints that the developers dropped and a few elements of the game. This article should only be considered once Pikmin 3 is released and we're able to play the game and know about all of it's elements.

Puffy Blowhog

I nominate the page Puffy Blowhog to be featured. It is a very neat and tidy article, has lots of information, an image, and info on any glitches there might be involving blowhogs. It is also very detailed, and everything about it just seems right. I have also just fixed it up, giving it much better sentence structure, and it now sound even more fluid to read than it did before. On top of that, the Burrowing Snagret article has been featured for almost a year, and we will need to find a replacement featured article instead.

Support

• Los Plagas (talk) - Nominator.

Oppose

• GP - Doesn't read great, not particularly well-organised, not very long, and the images aren't the best. A good enough article, but not worth being featured, IMO.

Comments

It's pretty well organized, but it's so short... If there are other articles that would be better highlighted, I'd prefer one of those. Otherwise, I can support this nomination. — {Espyo^T} 07:18, 8 February 2013 (EST)

I'm going to side with Espyo on this one. I'm neutral on it. --FREAK ~Game Freak~OUT!

The introduction alone is a mess. I think the information isn't that bad but it needs a lot of rewriting first.--Prezintenden
