Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wookieepedia has to offer.

This process is still somewhat in an experimental stage; therefore, several rules have yet to be set in stone, such as when and how failed nominations are eliminated, what makes an article "featured," and so on. See the following pages for ongoing discussion and proposals:


 * Consensus track/Featured article elimination process
 * Consensus track/Featured article ground rules
 * Wookieepedia talk:Featured article

Also, for a spiffy-looking gallery and summary of past winners, see below:


 * /History

Sign below an article you find excellent. You can vote for as many as you like. If your favorite article is not present, feel free to add one (with an optional reason), but remember to sign it. Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating and keep the list in alphabetical order.

Every Sunday the article with the most votes is highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template.

 * 6) Oppose. I find it funny that this is nominated for both featured article and weekly improvement drive. It needs serious cleanup work and redlinks filled. Might need some expanding as well. Adamwankenobi 13:59, 13 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * This is a very complete article!Padme829 03:24, 15 Nov 2005 (UTC)Padme829
 * You're right, but we still miss a lot of the 'Clone Wars Aayla'. --[[Image:BFguy.gif]]--Inmobilus 19:55, 16 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * After looking at it, I believe it still needs to be expanded some, needs red links filled in, and needs to be cleaned up some. Adamwankenobi 06:30, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * It needs a lot of work. I added some things to the Clone Wars section but it still isn't half complete. --Master Starkeiller 19:13, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with Starkeiller. Once it's complete it'll definitely be a candidate, but for now, oppose. --MarcK [talk] 01:49, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * Another well written article that should be featured as well. Even though I don't really like this character that much, I think it deserves to be in the same position as Jaina and Jacen Solo. After all, I think all three articles on the Solo kids are really well written. So if this one's good, why not? - Divinity 10:55, 24 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * This article puts articles on major players like Ackbar and Wedge Antilles, or even Leia Organa Solo and Luke Skywalker to shame, and he appeared in only three comics. It's a fine piece of work&mdash;one of the best on Wookieepedia. --SparqMan 21:19, 14 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) While this article has a good start, it is still too much of a review of the OT films. It would be great if we could expand the focus to include the general trends of the conflict across the galaxy - including those battles between the Empire and non-Alliance forces. --SparqMan 05:56, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * 2) The 15 or so years after the Battle of Endor are all in one paragraph.  This needs to be expanded. --Novajoe23 19:13, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * Much like the Galactic Republic page, it's very well written and informative.TIEPilot051999 23:25, 1 Dec 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but needs a lot of work. The prose is a bit clunky for my liking, and it goes into overly-minute details for combat (it gives a blow-by-blow account of the Battle of Hypori.), while neglecting other information. QuentinGeorge 10:57, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose for now, but only because the last section needs serious expansion. I'm pretty sure his activities in the NJO books amount to more than the couple of sentences I wrote without ever having read the books in question.  &mdash; Silly Dan  23:31, 26 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * I hate the character with a passion words cannot adequately describe. That said, this is a well written page about him that reminds me of the times before the NJO.TIEPilot051999 00:51, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Jacen's my favorite EU character! Jed-eye 22:07, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Jacen's just plain awesome! ~Mandalore the Ultimate~ 22:45, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC))
 * You have to focus on how the article is written, not wether or not he is cool or not, or a rebel scum or not. You have to admit that the ISD I article is pretty awesome You guessed it, it's Kir Kanos (The Empire Rocks!) (in opposition, don't count my vote). Check out my page.

 * Mara Jade rocks! Also she's considered one of the best EU characters by many fans. Divinity 05:36, 27 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * She's easily one of the best characters in the EU. And those who don't know who Luke Skywalker's wife is should visit this article. Jed-eye 11:37, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Object. Just so we're clear, a featured article isn't made great by its subject, but by its content. This one for example is extremely scarce for easily the most popular female EU character, and one that's up there with the most popular EU characters overall, such as Quinlan Vos and Thrawn. Hence why it's currently on the improvement drive. --MarcK [talk] 11:52, 13 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree with MarcK. QuentinGeorge 08:22, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm really sorry if I made a mistake for not noticing that this article is poorly written. If this article needs to be improved, then I'm removing my vote until the improvement is done. - Divinity 08:38, 18 Nov 2005 (UTC)
