Forum:Top 10 Articles of 1908?

<<< Back to The Administrator's League • <<< Back to Forum

I'm keen on doing something for the New Year, maybe like we did in January 2007 (I know, that's not the best link ever) with a selection of arbitrarily selected articles. There's been talk of our articles being below standard and all that, so why not celebrate the very best of our content from the past year? We could have some sort of a vote or just pick a selection from a discussion, or whatever.

At the very least, it'd be mint to have a Christmas reskin or some Christmas-themed articles featured over the festive season. There must be a bunch of articles we could make awesome and *rush through* VFF. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:23, 4 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

How about eh.. not my article or anything... ~ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ 05:54, 5 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Some possible Chrimbo features

• Insantaty
• The Real Santa
• A Christmas Carol

I'm going to be sticking these up on VFF soon, so feel free to add to this list or edit them in readiness for the Chrimbo period. Ho hooo! -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:51, 5 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Don't think we featured something about christmas last year, cant we just not cripple to commercemas? --Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 20:19, 5 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

I believe it's Commercial Conformity Period. So, an anti-Christmas person then? :) How about we feature an article about summer? -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 13:07, 6 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, Summer, oo, ice lollies! Crappy spanish holidays, Nakers on the beach when ur towel falls off etc.--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 18:39, 6 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

I think we should just nom what we want to. ~ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ 04:03, 8 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you have a point. Christmas is happening whether we like it or not... still, would be nice to see a summer article on Christmas day! :D :D -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 12:34, 8 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Hm, I should go make an article about summer! ~ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ 00:41, 9 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

On a related note...

Is there gonna be another Christmas writing contest this year? I think it would be just the thing to take people's minds off the turmoil of wikia. --THE 02:33, 9 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

I think we should do that as well. ~ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ 02:50, 9 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a reasonable idea. Let's see... around sixteen days to Christmas. That gives us approximately 2 weeks for people to write an article... and I wouldn't mind being a judge. -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 12:44, 9 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

Something Christmas-y?

http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/ Snow on the main page or something?--Silent PenguinLeave Me Alone 02:15, 11 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)

That looks gewd to me Sepps. ~ ♥ ♠ ♦ ♣ 03:46, 11 Ditzimber 2008 (UTC)
