Template talk:Article of the now
Recommendations
Post some here. I'm out of ideas at the moment. General guidelines though:
1) no stubs
2) ideally no pages with incomplete sections.
3) Should have a picture
4) Should have more than one section. --Champthom 10:27, 17 June 2009 (CEST)

I recommend the Game Place article, complete with the blurry photograph of old.--MoarLurk 02:11, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
- Good idea, that's a better suggestion than the new video. --Champthom 04:37, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
- MoarLurk brings up a good point - the Article of the Now needn't be whatever the new thing is the reflects The Now, but could provide some sort of background. Ideally brand new articles shouldn't be Article of the Now unless they're really good (and if they're new, they're seldom good). For instance, it's poor style to have the new video with Chris approaching Michael Synder as the Article of the Now - people are going to see this article in Da update on the left, not to mention it's featured in the Picture of the Now. However, The GAMe PLACe is a pretty good article which gives some background into current stuff. In other words, the Article of the Now can help give some insight into current Chris affairs to give people a greater insight. So in other words, an article like The GAMe PLACe is better than, say the new video.--Champthom 04:47, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
For my next suggestion, I propose Nathanael Greene Elementary School.--MoarLurk 19:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

YOU BASTARDS
I was gonna make CWCipedia the article of the now but someone beat me to the punch.

Updating the "Article of the now" every week or two?
Because of the "28 October 2011" article has been "Article Of The Now" for about a quarter of a year (3 months) before it was changed to "Chris and brand loyalty", I was thinking, should we update the AOTN every week or two? We might make some newer or older articles which are not featured before to be featured and we don't need to wait for a few months until we think it's time for the next AOTN. (The longest so far is like 4 MONTHS when I browsed through the history) We can also add three names of previously featured articles (which was what ED and Wikipedia did) so that people can keep track what articles are being featured. Any thoughts? Alan Pardew 08:04, 25 October 2012 (PDT)
