Welcome to the featured article nominations board. Here, you can nominate a wiki article worthy of being featured on the main page. Featured articles will be displayed on the main page on a rotation once there are enough featured articles to rotate between. To submit a nomination, write the title of the article in the box below and clicking "begin proposal". If a nomination with that title already exists, write a "/" and then a number at the end. For example, if a nomination for "Quincy" already exists, write "Quincy/2" instead, or "Quincy/3" if that already exists, and so on.

==Voting process==
This process applies to both featuring and unfeaturing articles.
*Only [[Blooncyclopedia:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed users]] can submit, vote on, and comment on nominations.
*Only [[Blooncyclopedia:Autoconfirmed users|autoconfirmed users]] can submit, vote on, and comment on nominations.
*When a nomination is made, users have '''two weeks''' to cast their votes and comments, ending at midnight UTC. If a nomination starts on {{#time:j F Y "at" H:i}} UTC, then it ends on {{#time:j F Y|now + 14 days}} at 23:59 UTC.
*When a nomination is made, users have '''two weeks''' to cast their votes and comments, ending at midnight UTC. If a nomination starts on {{#time:j F Y "at" H:i}} UTC, then it ends on {{#time:j F Y|now + 14 days}} at 23:59 UTC.
*If a nomination has at least four supporting votes and the majority of votes are supporting for two days (48 hours) straight, it passes.
*Unlike proposals, where deadlines determine the final vote count, the deadline for a nomination is a time limit for it to pass. A nomination passes if it has at least three supporting votes and no opposing votes for three days (72 hours) straight.
*If a nomination has at least four opposing votes, it fails regardless of the number of supporting votes.
*Editors are allowed to edit articles while a nomination is active to address issues raised in the comments or by opposing voters. Opposing voters are expected to change their votes once someone addresses their concerns with the article.
*If a nomination does not pass after two weeks, it fails.
*[[Blooncyclopedia:Administrators|Administrators]] reserve the right to cancel a nomination or remove a vote at any time if it is poorly justified or made in bad faith.
*[[Blooncyclopedia:Administrators|Administrators]] reserve the right to cancel a nomination at any time if it is poorly justified.
*Once a nomination passes or fails, the article cannot be nominated again (for featuring or unfeaturing) until at least two weeks (336 hours) have passed.
*If a nomination is accepted, it cannot be overturned by another nomination for the same article until at least two weeks (336 hours) have passed.

*All votes must give a clear reason for why you agree or disagree with a proposal option. You can also say "per proposal" or "per <user>" to agree with an existing reason.
*All votes must give a clear reason for why you agree or disagree with a nomination. You can also say "per the nomination" or "per <user>" to agree with an existing reason.
*If a proposal has more than two options, users may vote for more than one option. Voting for all options is not allowed and your votes will be removed if you do so.
*You cannot vote to both support and oppose a nomination at the same time. Your votes will be removed if you do so.
*The creator of a proposal can vote on their own proposals and doesn't need to give a reason for their vote (assuming the proposal body adequately explains why the proposer is making the proposal in the first place).
*You can change your vote at any time, but you must explain why you changed your vote and you must cross out your previous vote (with <code><nowiki><s></s></nowiki></code>).
*The creator of a nomination cannot vote on their own nominations.
