User blog:Ebon Shadowshot/Suggestion: Featured Articles

Greetings n' all that, NZPians. I have a proposal here to do with Featured Articles and the nomination process.

Currently we run a system of putting up the nominations for each article 1 week prior to the next month, here is the example:

and so on.
 * Article 1 by Author
 * Article 2 by Author (With assistance from Co-Authors IF NEEDED)

One thing that strikes me is that none of the articles entice voters to actually READ them. My proposal is that we have a little description of the article. For example, here is the list DR gave me as a group for featured status next month.


 * Total Warfare: More Than War
 * Sorrow
 * Cloud of Rain
 * Attack of the Teddy Bears Named Frank Jensen!
 * Aidez-Moi

Now that is fine, but with my proposal I think we could write it as this so people can bothered to read it as opposed to voting the one with the coolest name. Note that these descriptions can be improved by the author if they see fit.


 * Total Warfare: More Than War by DeadRaiser. The expansion pack to Zombies after the end of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Find out all the changes that have been done and what's new for the fans.
 * Sorrow by Ebon Shadowshot. Discover what happened to the Celebrity Group as they are stranded in Siberia, in a world which is being torn apart by Richtofen's Grand Scheme.
 * Cloud of Rain by Violetofen4. See Samantha as you never have before in this poetic tale, from her point of view.
 * Attack of the Teddy Bears Named Frank Jensen! by Magma-Man. Allow Zombies to take a step back as the Teddy Bear onslaught arrives to kill all oppressors!
 * Aidez-Moi by Interceptor7 (with assistance from EternalBlaze). Shopping is so last season, this French adventure shows the actions of the original group as they set foot in Les Quatres Temps Shopping Mall in Paris, slashing prices and Zombies.

This is my suggestion. What's your opinion?
