[edit] Featured Content

I think our coverage of the Yankees is becoming extensive enough to have featured articles. What do you guys think about doing a New York Yankee Article of the Week? Keep in mind that the articles we select for each week should be very high quality articles, completely documented, and have plenty of pics, trivia, etc. -- ThirdPoliceman 22:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I agree, except for Trivia. And for starters, when I finish the 1921 game log, I will nominate the 1921 Yankee article as a candidate. Infobox, good opening paragraph, soon-to-be completed game log, statistics, World Series overview, just needs a picture or two and it would be perfect. Soxrock

Before we nominate, let's first think of how this will be presented. I think it would be cool if we could:

  • Make a graphic that we put on the selected topic's discussion page
    • This graphic can be a template or just a tiny button that says this has been featured
  • Perhaps have a link on the New York Yankees Main Page that can direct the viewer to the article of the week?
    • Maybe we can put that link on the Team Template

That's all I got, feel free to throw some stuff in. ThirdPoliceman 23:11, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Usually articles of the week are to fix up articles to get them promoted to good or featured status, not to recognize already good articles. --Michael Greiner 16:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To Do

  • Create a template indicating that an article has been featured as a WP:NYY article of the week. This template will be put on the page's discussion page.
  • Find good article candidates!

[edit] Nominated Articles

Before nominating an article, you must:

  1. Be sure the article is in the scope of WP: Yankees
