Allow me to offer my input.

I've been browsing and editing the UESP (Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages) for a while now, and I've come to like how they do their Featured system.

Nominations would be open indefinitely. Any registered user can nominate an article/image/quote at any time. Once nominated, people can weigh in with either a Support or an Oppose (or neutral comments). After enough votes in either direction have been placed, the number of Supports vs. Opposes is judged to determine if the community wants it to be feature on the main page. Anything that passes the vote would be placed in a queue. When it's time to choose a new featured item, the first article/image/quote from the respective queue is chosen and featured for a month. After a month, it is removed from the queue and the next item is chosen. If there is no next item, the current item will stay for a little while longer until there is one.

I feel that this method will help with two things. Allowing everyone to weigh in on every presented option will allow us to a) better judge based on an article's quality, not the quality of the subject, and b) make better use of the Oppose vote, which until now has really had no place in a Featured vote.
