January 2012
Pretty sure we can archive 2011 discussions :P Anyway I was thinking for the new year, we could start off with Briggs. I know its been a year since the release of DD but he died :( Chinkycandie 03:19, 19 December 2011 (CST)
 * I think I'll agree to get a Character as the FA for January (after all, that would be a full cycle, since we started with one too) Briggs seems ok, maybe a bit.... lengthy but I suppose that just means it's detailed. ~ dkpat 13:33, 22 December 2011 (CST)
 * Briggs is one of the pages I'd say is complete and ready for featuring. Its length looks like it's entirely because everything of value has been added to it, except for a personality section which could be put in. Erik the Appreciator 18:13, 22 December 2011 (CST)
 * It sounds good to me. It seems full of large blocks of text, but as you said, Erik, it just means that it's complete. ~ dkpat 02:33, 28 December 2011 (CST)

Feb 2012
Surprised no one has started this yet. I've been contributing to another Wiki :P If no one has any suggestions I'll suggest a village. Maybe Shaman Village for being the only own where Retreat is effective or perhaps Garoh, for the werewolves. Chinkycandie 02:35, 29 January 2012 (CST)
 * I don't think I have any objections to either. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 11:55, 29 January 2012 (CST)
 * Garoh seems to be better organized than Shaman Village, so I am going to suggest it over Shaman. ~ dkpat 14:20, 30 January 2012 (CST)
 * I have no objections. Chinkycandie 17:27, 30 January 2012 (CST)

March 2012
Since no one has been offering suggestions, I'll randomly suggest a weapon this time. Kikuichimonji looks good. Has the RNG, no spacing problems, good description, and good analysis. Or Masamune. Chinkycandie 05:35, 23 February 2012 (CST)
 * I actually kinda want to look into a consumable item... but my quick look over of the ones I would think to be more notable are.. rather lacking. :/ ~ dkpat 13:04, 25 February 2012 (CST)
 * Yeah... I more or less started the consumable item project, but never really finished it, so I doubt any of them will be featured articles anytime soon... ^_^; As for Chinky's suggestions, I haven't yet looked into the specific articles you mentioned, but we've only done one other item (also a weapon) so I won't object to adding another. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 15:31, 25 February 2012 (CST)
 * So we have one more day to decide, guys. lol Kikuichimonji sounds fun to feature, though I wish it had a few better images. It will work with me! ~ dkpat 07:51, 28 February 2012 (CST)
 * Just did a bit of cleanup, so I won't object to Kikuichimonji. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 13:33, 28 February 2012 (CST)

April 2012
So guys, what are we gonna do here? I want to suggest a ... something we haven't done... Piece of Armor, Class series (might need a make over...) or a Lore/Oddities page ~ dkpat 10:37, 26 March 2012 (CDT)
 * I agree. We should do something we haven't done before. I was going to suggest summons but they aren't all that good. I like the idea of doing class series but shouldn't we have an image in them? Items is a bit hard to do since their images are tiny. Every featured articles has an image accompanied with text. Chinkycandie 00:49, 27 March 2012 (CDT)
 * So use a symbolic Energy effect image like Call Dullahan's, if can?--铁铁的火大了 (Talk) 01:43, 27 March 2012 (CDT)
 * I'll agree that having an image would be ideal, but I don't think we should disqualify an article simply because it lacks one. Also, the original proposal said "armor", not "item". I'm only reiterating that because the consumable items are definitely not FA material (yet). The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 20:48, 27 March 2012 (CDT)
 * ^ Armour is still an item :P Its just more specific class of item. Chinkycandie 04:06, 28 March 2012 (CDT)
 * I know, I just wanted to make that distinction clearer ;) Anyways, does anyone have any specific ideas? The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 10:34, 28 March 2012 (CDT)
 * For armor, I'd suggest the Valkyrie Mail or the Mysterious Robe. Since they're endgame armor, they both have pretty good analyses. They just might need some cleanup. Most of the armor articles are pretty short in any case. If we're doing a class, maybe the Samurai. I did try to clean up that analysis some, and its been updated to reflect Dark Dawn. --Sippyjuice 11:39, 28 March 2012 (CDT)
 * I'm in support of both the Valkyrie Mail and the Samurai class series. I'm not so sure about the Mysterious Robe, though; As much as I love that thing, there doesn't seem to be as much to say about it compared to the Valkyrie Mail. At any rate, maybe we can use one of these articles for April and the other in May? The real question is: "Which one first?" The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 21:07, 28 March 2012 (CDT)
 * I like the idea of doing the Samurai Class series first. Chinkycandie 21:56, 28 March 2012 (CDT)

Samurai sounds good to me, and I want to suggest we can use the Quick Strike Psynergy Screenshot for an image, since reading through the article, it seems it is the samurai's signature move. ~ dkpat 10:26, 29 March 2012 (CDT)
 * No complaints there. I'd recommend the DD image myself, but I won't object to the GBA image. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 11:30, 29 March 2012 (CDT)

May 2012
Its getting closer to the end of the month. Still thinking about armour or something else? If its something else I was thinking about a boss-Monster line. We haven't done that in awhile, same with a dungeon (this year anyway) Chinkycandie 00:22, 23 April 2012 (CDT)
 * I'd advise against anything monster-related, since Erik's currently renovating those pages. The World&#39;s Hungriest Paperweight 12:10, 23 April 2012 (CDT)
 * Well alright. How about a dungeon? We haven't done one since September. Or just a normal boss since we haven't done that since May. Chinkycandie 01:15, 24 April 2012 (CDT)
 * dungeon might be ok, but stick away from bosses too. he's redoing those as well. (at least to some extent) ~ dkpat 10:03, 26 April 2012 (CDT)
