Chrono Cross to be Wikipedia's TFA, August 15
« on: August 14, 2010, 05:54:16 pm »
Hey, stop by Wikipedia on August 15! My nomination was successful for Chrono Cross to be Today's Featured Article, so stop by and see what kind of shape the article's in! Like the Chrono Trigger article, the development section is now ample and well-sourced thanks to translation efforts. There's still so, so much more to be translated though, including Missing Piece interviews and the rest of the Ultimania interviews. You're welcome to pitch in translation services if you've got the free time!

Edit: And it's up!

Glad to see it's finally gone through! I think it would have made it back in 2008 too were it not for my own bravado back then.  :picardno  Remember when the ol' FW chimed in with points of support and then Wiki long-timers accused me of being you? Rough crowd over there.

Well, on the bright side, at least it coincides with Chrono Cross' 10th anniversary in the US now. Some would call it...FATE.

Sounds about right. If only we all wore Guy Fawkes masks and dressed the same.

Hey, Hiromichi Tanaka looks pretty badass in that leather jacket!

In case anyone isn't familiar with Wikipedia's "Today's Featured Article" system, there's a featured article for every language on Wikipedia, or at least the most well-trafficked ones I think. So a visit to http://en.wikipedia.org/ turns up Chrono Cross front-and-center for a day.

EDIT: Z probably already has some record on hand, but here's a .MHT webpage archive of Wikipedia's front page today, in case anyone sees this thread after the TFA has expired and wants to bask in the glory.

Wikipedia has pervasive copyright paranoia. Copyrighted images can't go on the main page. This policy punishes editors of copyrighted articles who want their stuff featured.
