| - Featured Inmates are the best articles Arkhampedia has to offer. That doesn't necessarily mean the funniest. Featured Inmates are the most well-written, complete and original articles on the wiki. To view the archive of nominations, see Arkhampedia:Featured Inmate Nominations/Archive. So just what makes a featured Inmate? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows. 1.
* …be reasonably well-written and easy to read. 2.
* …be at least 600 words long. 3.
* …have at least one (preferably funny) relevant picture. 4.
* …have properly sourced pictures where applicable. 5.
* …be related to Villains or Heroes, no objects or places. 6.
* …link to either Joker's little magic trick, Pencil sharpener, or just a Pencil. 7.
* …contain no personal attacks on users or real-life people. 8.
* …have a funny intro worthy of the main page. 1.
* First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below, and add {{FInom}} at the top of the nominated page. 2.
* Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article. 3.
* After a week, if the article meets all the criteria above, and has at least a 2/3 majority in favor, it is placed on the featured Inmate list and added to the front page queue. 1.
* Read the article. 2.
* Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination. Note: Objections without a valid reason will be struck. If you do not personally find the article funny, then don't vote at all. 3.
* Don't register a whole load of new accounts just to get your article to Featured Inmate status. If you do, the Joker will be quite content to Use you as a Pencil Sharpener. 4.
* After a week, if the article meets all the criteria above, and has at least a 2/3 majority in favor, it is placed on the Featured Inmate list and added to the front page queue.
