Talk: Today on Muppet Wiki nominations

Latest revision as of 17:07, 12 July 2017

What happened to this feature? Perhaps make it weekly, if nothing else? Or let the entire community write the blurbs, and have admins simply pick and choose? -- Zanimum 18:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

-==Ideas to Enhance Today on Muppet Wiki==
-What about having a special tag or image that could go on all articles featured on Today on Muppet Wiki? How about having a Today on Muppet Wiki highlight --- members nominate and vote on their favorite past featured articles and the winners are put together in a special feature.

-:Well, a lot of times "Today on Muppet Wiki" isn't necessarily a superb article. Sometimes it's just something that's current, like the announcement of a new DVD or an upcoming talk show appearance. If you wanted to come up with the most loved articles, then that's something to think about, but I think Today on Muppet Wiki is too whimsical to be the core of that project. -- [[User:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue">Danny</font>]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 05:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
-::Yeah, I agree with Danny on that, but George is onto something. Today on Muppet Wiki is kept in its own archive so that doesn't need to be chronicled with a special marking, but I definitely think something like a "Muppet Wiki Seal of Approval" tag would be great for articles that go above and beyond with their information. Some of these articles have been featured as Today on Muppet Wiki items, but overall one does not have to be the other. The awarding of this honor, like the [[Category talk:Themes|Themes issue]], can be a subjective and based in individual preference, so if it were to be put into place, it would definitely have to be something we vote on. However, I think the voting for something like this could work almost exactly like the [[Main Page picture nominations]]; nominate, specify a required number of needed votes, and a finite time frame for voting. Sounds pretty cool to me.. :) --[[User:Cantus Rock|Cantus Rock]] 18:20, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
-:::That's a cute idea, maybe a weekly or biweekly award. If we can come up with a cute name and a cute graphic for it, then I'd be all for it. -- [[User:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue">Danny</font>]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 19:30, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
-::::Hmm. Ideally, a cute name of that nature would tie into the content of the Wiki. I suppose we could call it Kermit's Seal of Approval or Bear's Seal of Approval :), but the only problem I see with something like that, I suppose, is somebody confusing it with an actual endorsement from somebody official. In the more mundane department, perhaps something like the Muppet Wiki Special Feature. I guess I'll have to think no this some more...

-::::::May I submit (with paper *finally* done), [[The Fred Award]]. Since there's already a precedent, and what better than a bowling trophy to mark the articles so favored? -- [[User:Aleal|<font color="Blue">Andrew Leal</font>]] ([[User talk:Aleal|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 06:04, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
-:::::::Ooh, I like that. -- [[User:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue">Danny</font>]] ([[User talk:Toughpigs|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 13:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
-::::::::I like it too. It's clever and it's not so immediately recognizable that somebody casually browsing would mistake it for some kind of official endorsement.

-:::::::::Okay, so are we going to get on this, then? I can design the graphic if nobody else here wants to, but I would imagine somebody else here probably has a better idea of how that should look, given that my Muppet interests tend to be more towards ''Bear in the Big Blue House'' and ''Sesame Street''.
