[edit] {{Sound of the day}} (or week or whatever) box
A possible template for a sound of the x box:
| Sound of the day |
 |
| Toque de Angola (ogg, 17 seconds, 174KB) |
| An unaccompanied berimbau playing a Capoeira Angola rhythm.
Sound credit: Aarchiba |
Feel free to edit the version above to discuss — it makes it easier than having eight different possibilities in the same section. One thing that would be very good is if the image could be clickable to hear the sound, but I don't know if there any way to do that with the current code. Also, it would be nice to have a dedicated image, instead of the generic speaker icon; I'd be happy to make one if anyone has any ideas on what would be nice. — Asbestos | Talk (RFC) 14:55, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Source for sound candidates
The commons:Commons:Media_of_the_day page might be a good list to go through for possible 'featurable' sounds. All are available under a public license and have already undergone some vetting in regards to quality. --CBD 22:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Featured content page
Featured sounds have been added to the WP:FC page - which is linked from the Main page and the navigation bar which is always displayed. Discussion of where/how to display them, standard colors for the project, and other issues can be found here. --CBD 19:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Basically images?
Sound files on Wiki are simply loaded as Image:XYZ.ogg. Seeing that there are so few sounds to be featured, I believe that this should be made a subsection of featured images. Only a suggestion. Reywas92TalkReview me 20:14, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
- Everything has to start somewhere. And WP:FPC is backlogged as is. 72.8.104.11 06:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
- I tried to convince the peoples over there that featured images should be changed to featured media, and include recordings and videos, especially since both can now be played in-browser, but there was a lot of resistance to that.

[edit] Featured Sound WikiProject Proposal
I have proposed the creation of a new WikiProject dedicated to collecting, and critqueing sounds for Featured Status. Sounds is the smallest group of Featured Content on Wikipedia, and we need to help fix that. So if you like, please click on the following link, and second my proposal, so it can be created. Thanks.
