How do I re-nominate a failed article after it has been revised?

Question is self-explanatory. This comment as well as the comment explaining it are completely irrelevant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Projectjulio (talk • contribs)

Just nominate it as "Article name (2nd nom)" or a something similar. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 18:54, Mar 12

How exactly does a nominated article fail/feature?

Is there like a time limit, and if it has positive votes at the end of that period, it's featured? How does it work?--68.63.145.190 21:13, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Every once in a while, an admin will take a look at VFH. If we're in need of articles to fill the queue, we'll feature the one or two with the highest votes, and at equally random intervals we'll take the one or two articles with the lowest health off VFH. Pages with a score of -3 or less usually get taken off right after they bottom out. - T.L.B. WotM, UotM, FPrize, AotM, ANotM, PLS, UN:HS, GUN 23:07, Feb 26

IP

It's still half a vote for IP addresses, isn't it? There's no instruction to that effect anywhere on the page. Sir Roger 06:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Ooops. That's true....good catch. Unfortunately, you're going to have to yell at an admin to get it done.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 19:27, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Those rules are shown when you first nominate an article. I suppose that doesn't do much good for that rule. I'll add a link to the rules somewhere. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 05:26, 06 Aug 2007

I know I've had to re-count the votes when IPs vote, and update the vote-count accordingly. They keep giving themselves full votes. Dumb buggers.     EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank)   04:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)  

PLS

Are PLS winners eligible for a VFH nomination? P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 02:02, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes. And they're encouraged.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:16, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Top 3 - July

I'm unclear as to why the top 5 are listed for July when there was no tie for third - there was a tie for second, but that still gives you three articles without having to add more. Sir Roger 02:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Because Mhaille told me to. Eh?-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 02:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Fix'd. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 07:44, 20 Aug 2007

Actually, how about we do it this way? I go into the history and do the Top 3 from when the vote was supposed to close? Then there's no tie.-Sir Ljlego, GUN VFH FIYC WotM SG WHotM PWotM AotM EGAEDM ANotM + (Talk) 14:35, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

How about you go back to an alternate history where the dinosaurs don't go extinct? That'd be cool. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

No way, we'd all squished or eaten! Haven't you seen Jurassic Park? P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 16:37, Aug 20, 2007

You're no fun. They'd get all the fat people first. Then they'd get all tired and have to take a nap. Then we put saddles on 'em. Dino-cowboy, wooo! Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 16:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

I can see it now: riding off into the sunset on my dinosaur, eating the fat people as I go....Ah, the simple life....P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 17:05, Aug 20, 2007

Suggestion to Replace the Darwin Rule

There is currently a discussion in place on whether or not to keep the Darwin Rule or replace it with one of three challengers here. Please read the discussion before voting. -Tritefantastic 16:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Low votes....again

I noticed that VFH votes seem to be rather low lately. FA-quality pages aren't getting featured, or are doing so really really slowly. After conservation week, can we put up a template that tells people to vote for VFH, like we had a while back? P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 05:46, Sep 3, 2007

Perhaps if we can get that marginally less annoying sitenotice-above-the-tabs they have at wikipedia now, we could put a message in there about VFH voting. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 06:26, 03 Sep 2007

It'd be nice. My HP is low. --THINKER 06:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Try a hyper potion, they restore 200 points of HP. Oh, and a sitenotice would be great, Spang. Anything that gets people to get over to VFH and read pages and vote for stuff. P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon (Tick Tock) (Contribs) 07:19, Sep 4, 2007

Giga Bowser

Lulz. Apparently I closed this VFH failure. I'm going to guess that the script looks at the last editor of a page, and that I edited it after Ljlego failed it, but before he locked it? Just looks odd as funk. I likey.     EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank)   04:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)  

Yeah, I was confused about that, then remember it does just show the last editor, and assumes nobody edited it after it closed. Too much trouble to fix it though! • Spang • ☃ • talk • 10:07, 05 Sep 2007

I like it though. I have the POWAR!!!!     EugeneKay wuz here (whine thank)   00:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)  

Can I re-nom Macau?

Can I re-nom Macau? I have done alot of work on it since it was rejected so is it possible to re-nom? --Moneke 12:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, just as long as it got pee'd. Remember when you're typing in the nom, to type in Macua (2nd nomination)--Sir Manforman 13:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Whole Votering

Score: 1.25

Can an admin please add a blurb in the instruction box about registered users only being allowed to vote in whole numbers (ie. no .5 votes)? Only IPs are .5s, unless policy has changed without my knowledge. --THINKER 18:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia:VFH/rules. If I missed anything, let me know. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 22:31, 05 Dec 2007

Yes, there's some mustard on your lip. No, other side...up. There. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 22:33, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Thanks Splangy! :) --THINKER 05:06, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Christmas feature

I assumed Donner was going to be our Christmas feature this year, but it's on the main page today. Can we re-feature it on the 25th, or is there something special planned that I don't know about? -- 15Mickey20 (talk to Mickey)  17:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, we have a holiday related article that's going to featured on the 25th--Æ 15:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Bloody Christians with their bloody holidays ~ Mordillo where is my SHITHEAD? 15:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

I was hoping it was going to be Shot your fuck up but sadly no one nominated it.... :( -- Sir Mhaille  (talk to me)

I was trying to get HowTo:Mail a Letter out on Boxing day, since it's all about mailing a thank-you letter to some bitch who got you socks, but that's not going to happen, methinks... Contestant CUN -- VFH NotM Buzz Ctrbs 19:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Where's it gone, then?

I say...I nominated my anti-intellectualism article earlier today, but now it's dissapeared, and it's not on recently failed or feature queue. It's not even in the edit history. What gives? BlueYonder 17:05, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

There were some problems with lag on the server causing problems on VFH, VFP and lagging on recent changes. sannse got our friends at Wika to give the server a kick in the balls and it should be working again now... MrN  Fork you! 18:45, Jul 17

Wrong category (help please?)

Wanted Kenny Rogers in votes for deletion, not nominate for featured article (article sucks). Can some mod reverse this, please? --Just!n 00:21, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

bad English grammar = humour?

I didn't understand the "1nd Al Gore, 2rd..." . Actually for correct grammar it would be "1st Al Gore, 2nd...". Gnetter 08:44, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Are you saying that Al Gore should be 2rd? • Spang • ☃ • talk • 00:05, 08 May 2009

Consider moving tihis page to UN:FAC

Because this page is called "Featured article cadidates" on Wikipedia71.135.56.176 20:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

And? -OptyC Sucks! CUN20:05, 12 Jun

I didn't know this page even had a name... Thank you anonymous IP person! —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 20:16, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

But that's a gay name. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 23:48, 12 Jun 2009

You have a gay name. Spang. *Giggles* ~Orian57~ ~Talk~ 00:10 13 June 2009

Spanglegay Glittersprinkles   Le Cejak • <0:18 Jun 13, 2009>

Sorry, but I started this thread. Also, I maintain my position on moving this to Uncyclopedia:Featured article candidates. Now, I'm a Wikipedian, plus I don't want anything other than the main namespace nominated, no aux namespaces like Unbooks: or UnTunes:75.18.174.159 02:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Have you considered pulling the stick out of your ass? This is not Wikipedia. Wikipedia sucks. It's not funny at all. At. all. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 04:00, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. We HATE wikipedia. Read this for Christ's sake. We all know Wikipedia is stupid and that Uncyc is better. Staircase CUN^t 04:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Calm down. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:34, 15 Jun 2009

I maintain my position on that being a kinda gay name. And this might be your thread, but if we're going to be like that, then in the same way VFH is kinda my page. And I quite like it as it is. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 04:34, 15 Jun 2009

Agreed. Even though I don't really know who you are Spang, I just know you're an admin and I shouldn't offend you. Staircase CUN^t 04:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Whadaya mean you don't know who he is? HE IS SPANG! SPANG SUPPORT! ~ 07:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

He is like our version of Batman? Yeah. Just don't throw up the RAHB signal and expect a response. IronLung 08:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

You'll get a response all right. Quick and hard. ~ 12:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we could do that. But we could also change our name to Wikipedia and start accepting factual content. Modus got it in one, so this comment is largely redundant. -- Hindleyite Converse 12:29, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Not Appearing?

Fruitopia's page is appearing in the overview, but not anything else. Wh-what's happening?--You know what the music means... Our time is up. 21:15, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Patience. It takes some time if the number of nominations is over 20. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 21:16, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, its appearing now. Thank ye, o wise one known as Socky!--You know what the music means... Our time is up. 21:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Yup, I'm a pretty wise guy. ; ) —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:00, 17 October 2011

Narrow voting boxes

Why are the voting boxes so narrow? They're hard to read. —Tonillero (heckle • stalk) 21:09, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

No idea. Even on lower resolutions it seems fine. --Hotadmin4u69 ^[TALK] 18:59 Sep 21 2010

What part of "feature every other day"

Do you guys not understand? --Scofield & The Machine 16:26, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

What are you talking about? And who are you even talking to? O_o

1234 ~ 16:34, 17 October 2011

Probably some thing that was mentioned on a template a while ago. The one TKF made about nomming/voting like hell. Anyway, it was removed a couple weeks ago so it's pretty irrelevant now. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 17:04, 17 October 2011

But still...it was there for a reason! --Scofield & The Machine 12:11, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

I must have missed that. Was it bad? Have we fallen to insufficient levels? I thought someone said Uncyclopedia was almost full.

1234 ~ 13:34, 19 October 2011

Goal 20 votes? Sounds like too much

Hey, I'm skeptical we'll ever get to average 20 votes per article. I guess it depends on how willing people are to vote. Maybe we should create ads on Google. -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 00:17, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

I suggest we reduce the goal to ten votes, since that's basically what an article needs to pass VFH, anyway. ~jcm 00:44, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Great idea! -- This has been an automated message by Cute Zekrom (talk) 22:54, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Randomly change the featured article on the home page

I suggest that we will use the old featured articles, mixing with the newly voted articles on the main page. Megalo Kirito (talk) 09:44, February 10, 2015 (UTC)
