The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best that the Harry Potter Wiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, houses, or the like.

An article must…

  1. Be well-written and detailed.
  2. Be unbiased, non-point of view.
  3. Be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
  4. Follow the Layout Guide and all other policies on the Harry Potter Wiki.
  5. Following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
  6. Not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
  7. Have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
  8. Have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
  9. Be completely referenced for all available material and sources.
  10. Have all quotes and images sourced.
  11. Provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
  12. Include a "personality and traits" section on all character articles.
  13. Include a "magical skills and abilities" section on all relevant character articles, especially for Wizard characters where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
  14. Include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
  15. Pass review by the Department of Mysteries review panel.

How to nominate:

  1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
  2. 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, organisation, images, notability, sources).
  3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
  4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
  5. Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 2 Unspeakable supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article."
  6. Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.

How to vote:

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
  2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
    1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
  3. 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. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
  4. Once an article has a total of five votes, with at least two votes coming from Unspeakables and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article will be added to the list and be officially known as a "featured article."
  5. No nominator may vote for their own nominations.

Also remember to add {{F.A. Nomination}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every two weeks, the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the {{FA}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{Featured article}} template. Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list by the Unspeakables.

  1. Very well-written, plenty of quotes, images; completely referenced.--Matoro183 (Talk) 12:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
  2. I agree with all the support.--Adumb1881 14:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
    Fenrir Greyback is awesome; he is more interesting than the other nominees, plus his article is well written and informative and also has a good amount of pictures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.227.90.42 (talk • contribs). (Vote struck per Voting policy)
  3. This looks like a fine article. I'll point out that it lacks a relationships section. I wonder if we should add one. But other than that, perfect! QuidditchLover(My talk)(contribs) 01:55, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
  4. Just read over it, seems very good. Profiteor 22:09, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
    This is a very well written article, and I think it deserves to be a featured article. ddevans96z(Vote struck per Voting policy)
  5. Woderfully written article. Deserves to be featured.--User:Slexie4eva
    I agree with all the support given. Lee7003 15:26, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

  1. Before I read it fully, everything should be sourced. There are currently a few sentences at the end of paragraphs that need references as do some items in the infobox. Sourcing everything is both professional and necessary for a quality article. Grunny (Talk) 09:00, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
    • I went back and sourced everything I could.--Matoro183 (Talk) 20:55, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
      • There's still at least two sentences which are lacking sources, and therefore could be simply fan speculation. One of them "It's uncertain if he was killed in the battle, but if he survived, it's likely he was imprisoned in Azkaban for his crimes." shouldn't be in the Bio at all. That sentence is written from an Out-of-universe perspective, and so would be only appropriate in the behind the scenes section, since the bio is for in-universe information only per policy. Grunny (Talk) 07:14, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
  2. It's a solid article overall, but there's a few issues needing to be addressed. There are some grammatical errors throughout ("Fenrir Greyback's whose only goal", "Voldemort being prejudice", "in the April of 1997","specializes children", "actually go as far as eat"). The picture in the "First Wizarding War" section is out of place chronologically, but I think it would be suitable for a "Magical Skills and Abilities" section, which the article currently lacks. Also, I think it should be noted in the article that Greyback bit Lupin in the 1960s or early '70s, given that Remus states he was a "very small boy" when he was bitten in PoA18. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 22:44, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Charlatan (Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump)

  1. At this point, I believe that the article is, at present, the best that it can be. As its healer on Project Wizard Tales, I have tried time and again to make it look better than it is, but it simply can not be done. I therefore think that this article is worthy of being a Featured Article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GingerEdit817 (talk • contribs).

Object

  1. The article contains some sections that are not the same as others of the same sort in better articles. Namely, the Personality and Traits section is set up as a list, while on other pages, it is in paragraph format. Also, one quote is attributed to the Charlatan, while it is not, in truth, a quote at all, but a piece of narrative from the story. --Parodist 22:49, September 22, 2009 (UTC)#*
  2. The text of the article contains grammatical errors, and lapses between present and past tense, particularly in "Instructor of Magic." The "Relationships" and "Personality and traits" sections consist of repetitions of content from earlier in the article. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:27, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

  • Could be a good article, but still needs some work with details in certain sections ddevans96z

  1. For the time being, this article is as good as it can get. It contains applicable quotes and quite a lot of information. The only thing that could possibly improve it is adding images, which won't be available until the Deathly Hallows films come out. --Parodist 15:12, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
    Also a pretty nice article, missing a few things but overall still good ddevans96z (Vote struck per Voting policy)

  1. It currently lacks a Relationships section. If somebody would add it, though, I think it would be fine. Quidditch Lover (My talk)(contribs) 23:39, September 23, 2009 (UTC)
  2. This is a very well-written article. However, the "Etymology" section needs sourcing, so I'm objecting for now. I also don't think it would be possible to build a "Relationships" section, given that we know little about Grindelwald's relationship with other characters, aside from Albus and Aberforth. ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 23:11, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
