Forum:The Oscars

<<< Back to Department of Limelight • <<< Back to Forum

I had an idea, what if we made something like the Oscars, except in Illogicopedia. I have all the awards:

• Best Article (best article overall generally)
• Best Writer (best article writer)
• Best Original Article (best unique idea for an article)
• Best Short Article (best short article, like a nehpic)
• Best Image (best image)
• Best Foreign Language Article (any article thats not written in english)
• Best Epic (best epic, and EPIC only)
• Best Editor (best user in terms of editing articles and polishing them up)
• Best Conversation Article (as in articles that are mostly a conversation)

Everyone nominates some articles for each category, and then we select five of the most nominated for each one and vote on it, and then award them with special awards and stuff. How about that?

Would require some work, need some comments.

This is such an awesome idea. I'd be willing to help if my help was needed in setting up pages or something. --THE 16:40, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Do we even have enough active contributors to give all these awards to? I thought we were having a depression at the moment. --Nerd42 17:57, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Seems like we have enough. Wiki traffic has gone up 37% in the last 3 months and is still improving. I guess this 'depression' was just a short trend of low activity.--Ben ^Blade 18:27, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

There might be some authors who win more than one award, or something. But we definitely have enough fitting articles in all the categories. --THE 18:53, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

OK great. I guess we're not dead!! --Nerd42 19:01, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Sounds awesome, might kickstart something. TReich (My Bad) 22:31, 25 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Okay, but we'll need an award and a layout. if anyone can do this, it'd be great. Plus we'd need people to start voting sometime soon. -- Dxpenguinman, the Penguinman ...He's e-vile! • Talk • Got An Idea? • GAMESHOW! 08:10, 26 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

So can any article be nominated, or only 2008? Some WHAT!? (talk) (contribs) (edit count) 21:12, 26 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Judgin' by the noms so far, it's not just for this year. All artikles are eligible, unless anyone objects. --THE 02:10, 27 Farbleum 2009 (UTC)

Nominations

This is the place to vote for articles. You're allowed to vote three articles for nomination in each category. Remember to leave your signature after each one. And only do one self nom. Too many self noms make spoil the broth. Or something. BTW, you're allowed to nom the same thing more than once.

VOTING REGULATIONS

Extra regulations currently apply:

There is voting currently taking place below this template, So here are the voting basics: Users are permitted one vote each. Please clearly state whether your addition is a for, an against or a comment. Remember to sign and to update the vote count. Nominations count as a vote for unless specified as "Neutral" or "Against". Take care not to overdo self-nomination. If you wish to change your vote, then cross out the previous using the <s> tags. Frog-infested pineapples are not allowed in the voting area until they have been de-frogged. Click here for more details

and The "Mirror Pearl" is in effect, this means that users may vote for any number of options without let or hindrance, however only one vote per option is allowed.
