* I'm honestly torn on this one. While I love the Musings of a Sidekick thing and would love to raise awareness of this somewhat famous yet still obscure promo content, I'm not really sure if smaller articles are the best candidates for showcasing on the front page of the wiki. If we're really ''that'' concerned about our featured articles needing to represent the size and quality of wiki articles in general, then this is probably not the one to use.

* Considering that nectar itself is a candidate for being featured and has gotten more attention on this page, would it be redundant to keep the eggs as a feature candidate? Or is there enough to just the eggs themselves that would still warrant them being a separate feature?

** Not at all; eggs and nectar are very different topics and there's different things to say about them.

* At the moment, it's not quite ready to be featured, as there's some information we've found that still hasn't been documented.
