Featured Article Selection is where editors can nominate high standard articles to be featured as article of the week (commonly referred to as AOTW). Such pages will feature on Lostpedia's homepage in recognition of its contribution to the betterment of the site as a whole. Below are instructions on
how to nominate and vote.
Nominations
Please use the following format for nominations and votes. Be sure to sign all nominations and votes. New nominations should be placed at the bottom of this list.
Article Name (linked format)
- Nominated by: Jabrwocky7
- Initial comments regarding the nomination go here. This is where you should make your case regarding the nomination.
- Yes: I think this is a worthy article for the article of the week. --Jabrwocky7 12:42, 11 July 2006 (PDT)
- No: This article needs some work before it can be seriously considered. --Jabrwocky7 12:42, 11 July 2006 (PDT)
The Other 48 Days
- Nominated by: bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 11:16, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
- Besides this episode being brilliant and the best in season 2, it is neat, tidy and easy to follow. It laid down the building blocks for Ana Lucia, Libby, Eko, Bernard and other tail section survivors. The episode is like a season within an episode with unimportant and boring details left out.
- No: The summary's not really good enough, in my opinion. -- Sam McPherson T C 08:38, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
Lost: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
- Nominated by: -- Iron Man Send a message View contributions 16:16, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
- For a DVD filled with Easter Eggs, Dharma Videos, "The Lost Connections" and all other sorts of Lost-related goodies, this article sure does a good job of covering all of them. With plenty of pictures and Youtube videos, this will not only showcase Lostpedia's technical ability, but also how well everything is covered.
- No: The majority of the article is just bullet points. This article should be changed from a list before it becomes a featured article. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 17:57, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
- No: It looks ugly and as noted by Mr. Crabby, it's mostly just lists.--TechNic|talk|conts 08:34, 1 May 2008 (PDT)
- No: Too list-y. --Blueeagleislander 21:19, 29 June 2008 (PDT)
- No: As per Mr. Crabby. -- Sam McPherson T C 08:38, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
- No -- CTS Talk Contribs 21:07, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
Deus Ex Machina
- Nominated by: --Pinknoise 03:54, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
- Not quite sure how the episode is relevant, but you'll all agree it is a bloody good episode and it was the one that told us about the Locke/Cooper issue which was prevalent in season 3. It also showed us that light in the hatch scene. Maybe this episode would have been more relevant around when The Brig was on, but it was the best episode of season 1 and has loads of motifs and relevant threads. With a little more work this article could be one of the best on lostpedia.
- No: Needs a more detailed storyline section and more facts in the trivia section. As you said, with work it could be one of the best on Lostpedia, but for me its not even close to that. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 04:05, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
- No: For such a good episode, this article is insubstantial.--TechNic|talk|conts 08:39, 1 May 2008 (PDT)
- No. I disagree that it is the best episode in Season 1. Even if it was that has nothing to do with it being a good article. I think it is untidy compared to other articles. bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 04:39, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
Not yet: As said before, I don't think we are ready for a theories page to be AOTW. And when we are, I think The Monster theories page is a much more worthy canidate. -- Iron Man Send a message View contributions 11:40, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
- No: Reasons given by Ironman -- Comedy240 13:38, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
- Just for the record, I like to be referred to as Ironman. :) -- Iron Man Send a message View contributions 12:55, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
- No: I just don't like the theory pages very much.--TechNic|talk|conts 08:44, 1 May 2008 (PDT)
- No:I agree with TechNic. --CTS 12:52, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
The Lost Experience
- Nominated by: --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 11:23, 18 March 2007 (PDT)
- This page has been viewed 452,398 times, making it the fourth most viewed page on Lostpedia (behind the Main Page, Season 3, and the Blast Door Map). What I think seperates Lostpedia from other Lost sites is our coverage of the Lost Experience. It's a good page and well organized, one that Lostpedia should be proud of. --Mr. Crabby (Talk)
Yes of not already featured: Very well written article, i agree with everything your saying, but for some reason i remember this being AOTW in the past. Correct me if im wrong. -- Iron Man Send a message View contributions 11:38, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
- We've had The Lost Experience revelations amongst other TLE articles, but never the main one --Nickb123 (Talk) 11:44, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
Yes -- Iron Man Send a message View contributions 11:50, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
- No -- Boring, long, and no pictures. - Comedy240 17:21, 6 March 2007 (PDT)
- I added some pictures per this criticism --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 10:27, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Yes --It revealed a lot of interesting info about lost (ie what dharma stands for) i think it's a good idea. The statistics point to it, too. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rhcm123 (talk • contribs) .
- Yes: Although i wasn't a Lost addict at that time, the game itself is very good and deserves to be selected as featured article; the page is good, well-organized, explains the game for the ones that didn't take part in it, but also gives links to the more specific clues and other things about the ones who were in it, so there is no negative thing about it. Maybe if there were another Lost Experience the timing would have been perfect, but still, it's OK cause this 8 month hiatus is for that - looking back at the big things that happened. Also the statistics show the same. -- Steff talk contribs email 10:20, 17 August 2007 (PDT)
- Very Much No-- Very Boring, too long and hard to read 'cause there's so much --Monkeyluck 03:48, 8 September 2007 (PDT)
- Yes: It's a very good article and is interesting to revisit TLE and see if anything new comes into focus after all this time. Particularly interesting now that Widmore is in the show.--TechNic|talk|conts 08:47, 1 May 2008 (PDT)
- Very Much No - as per Moneyluck. --CTS 18:48, 18 May 2008 (PDT)
- Very much No - as per Moneyluck and CTS. bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 01:56, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
- Very Much Yes - per Crabby. --Blueeagleislander 22:18, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
Eko
- Nominated by:--CTS 17:54, 4 April 2008 (PDT)
- Yes: Eko has had three important centric episodes, two in Season Two and one in Season Three. Eko is a very enigmatic character who added a lot of awesome storyline to Seasons Two and Three. Eko was the first character to stand face-to-face with the Monster, he also discovered the Pearl station, and his stick led Locke to the Flame station. This page should be featured without a doubt.
- Definate No It is not the best and I think there are plenty more deserving articles. Bringlibbyandcharlieback 04:47, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
- What? Just because you don't like a character doesn't mean you should judge the article. It is an awesomely written article with great pictures that accompany it. I think Eko is plenty deserving of an article; he is such an iconic Lost character. --CTS 12:55, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
- Still a No. And just because you like a character is no reason to nominate the article. It's the same as most of the other character pages. Ok, it's good, but there's nothing special about it. I just think pages such as Claire, are very neat and tidy and not just because I like her, which I do. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bringlibbyandcharlieback (talk • contribs) 2008-06-16T03:25:10.
"So It Begins"
- Nominated by: CTS
- This was by far the most important mobisode. We learn that Christian appeared to Vincent prior to Jack's awakening in "Pilot, Part 1". If there is any mobisode that should be featured, it's this one. --CTS 19:07, 22 May 2008 (PDT)
- Yes. A nice little mobisode that adds more to the mystery of Christian (and Vincent!).--TechNic|talk|conts 20:23, 7 June 2008 (PDT)
- Yes. I don't know about any of you, but that mobisode blew my mind. It was jaw dropping the whole time through. BETTYFIZZW (Talk) 14:41, 9 June 2008 (PDT)
- Slight Disagree. I don't think mobisode articles can work as AotW because they're all so short, and therefore content is usually low. Good mobisode, good article, but too short. --Blueeagleislander 18:27, 14 June 2008 (PDT)
Body Count
- Nominated by: Orhan94
- This is a great article which I redid the past week, and I think it should be a featured article soon. Now it's looking better than Deceased islanders, because it's features a list of characters that left, joined a group or left the Island, as well as a list deceased characters.--Orhan94 00:52, 7 June 2008 (PDT)
- I would appriciate that some of you replied to this sooner.--Orhan94 00:52, 7 June 2008 (PDT)

- First of all, don't ask for an immediate reply. It will take time, like any wiki discussion, for a decision to be made. But, Disagree, as its just a list. A good list, yes, but we have better articles. Good job on the refurbish though. --Blueeagleislander 01:18, 7 June 2008 (PDT)
- Disagree. Like Blue eagle islander said, it is just a list. As for the reply thing: you nominated this today and you expect to get a reply that fast? I nominated Eko and So It Begins weeks ago and there hasn't been any reply, so it obviously takes time. --CTS 10:14, 7 June 2008 (PDT)
- No. Style over content. The tables take up far too much space compared to the few details they contain. It actually makes it harder to read the information than simpler lists would.--TechNic|talk|conts 20:28, 7 June 2008 (PDT)
Frozen Wheel
- Nominated by: Kevrock 08:18, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
- I really enjoyed working on this article. To me, the Wheel represents everything wonderful about LOST- mystery, spirituality, anachronisms.... It's just a great symbol of the show and will be an enduring mystery for quite a while to come. Kevrock 08:18, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
- Agree: It looks good to me, and it's relevant. -- Sam McPherson T C 19:10, 30 June 2008 (PDT)

Frog
- Nominated by:
Kevrock talk contribs 09:36, 16 June 2008 (PDT)
- This has been an enduring mystery on the show for quite some time. The frog mission brought together Sawyer and Hurley in a very emotionally gripping event. Plus it's summer hiatus, so we should breathe some life into these old scenes.
- STRONG DISAGREE: this is far from AOTW material. -- CTS Talk Contribs 11:24, 16 June 2008 (PDT)
- I would like to direct your attention to the fact that this article, a parody theory about cardboard boxes, was once AOTW. At least the frog is actually canon! Kevrock talk contribs 11:50, 16 June 2008 (PDT)

- 'Strong Disagree every other nomination deserves AotW over this, its mainly just quotes! --Blueeagleislander 05:20, 17 June 2008 (PDT)
- But that is the joke. The frog article is great because, 1) it highlights the thoroughness of the wiki - we track things down to a freakin frog from a throw away/filler scene, 2) it is a great example of the obsessiveness of fans over the slightest details like, oh, maybe the fact it isn't actually a tree frog, 3) it is a good example of the group-dynamic of wikis, since there was an actual discussion if the article should be named "tree frog" or "frog", "But what happens if there's another frog on the show, then we need a 'frog' disambiguation page!", etc., and 4) its just plain funny to have the AOTW to be about a frog! But maybe that's just me, comedy is subjective. Kevrock talk contribs 07:58, 17 June 2008 (PDT)

- Disagree: Despite the "humor," this frog has little relevance to the overall storyline, and is not material for a featured article. -- Sam McPherson T C 08:37, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
F-Missions
- Nominated by: rbfskywalker
- I think that it is just as good as the A-Missions now
There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3
- Nominated by: rbfskywalker
- I think that it is a good episode but it is not about that. good article and its going to get a lot of traffic over the break
- Agree. Yes, this is one of the more thoroughly researched episodes. Someone needs to clean-up the subsection spacing and picture arrangement, though. Looks like someone got too brclear happy with it. Kevrock talk contribs 10:04, 24 June 2008 (PDT)
- Agree: Brilliant episode, Brilliant article. bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 04:38, 2 July 2008 (PDT)

Background cast/middle section survivors
- Nominated by: Ryan76el
- This is a great article which I have been editing it for weeks and should be Featured article of the week. It has took me and long time because I have made the table alot better by adding more pictures.
- Slight Disagree: It's a good article, but it's just a table. --Blueeagleislander 18:30, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
- Disagree: As per Blue eagle islander. -- Sam McPherson T C 19:09, 30 June 2008 (PDT)
- Nope: Sorry, but no. bringlibbyandcharlieback Talk Contribs 04:36, 2 July 2008 (PDT)
