Wookieepedia:Good article nominations

This page is for the nomination of Good articles. For a list of Good articles, see Category:Wookieepedia good articles.

What is a Good article?
A Good article is an article that adheres to quality standards, but cannot reach FA status due to its limited content.

A Good article has the following attributes.

1. It is well written. In this respect:


 * (a) it has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers;
 * (b) it follows a logical structure, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects; where appropriate, it contains a succinct lead section summarising the topic, and the remaining text is organised into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
 * (c) it follows the Manual of Style;
 * (d) necessary technical terms or jargon are briefly explained in the article itself, or an active link is provided.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect:


 * (a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;
 * (b) sources should be selected in accordance with the guidelines for reliable sources;
 * (c) it contains no elements of original research.

3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FA, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. In this respect:


 * (a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;
 * (b) all significant points of view are fairly presented, but not asserted, particularly where there are or have been conflicting views on the topic.

5. It is stable, i.e., it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.

6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. In this respect:


 * (a) the images are tagged and have succinct and descriptive captions;
 * (b) a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status.

Nomination of Good articles
To nominate an article for Good article status, list it here. If it has more than five votes after a week, the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template.

 * I can't support this one yet, what with all of the slightly OOU debate within the article as to the validity of Formbi being who he says he is. 23:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Expanded that section and cleaned up. --Eyrezer 11:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

 * 2) Looks good and reads well, though I wouldn't mind some more info on the variations. What was the short story with the courier version in it? --Eyrezer 04:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) This could be expanded so much more, even to the point of being FA. Havac 22:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. 17:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's either in Tales from the Empire or Tales from the New Republic but try as I might I couldn't wokr out the title. Was the story about a guy that helps people evade capture from bounty hunters. Boba Fett gets the better of him though. --Eyrezer 23:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If only I had my Star Wars books with me at college so I could look it up... It's probably from Tales from the Empire. I got this off the summary on that page - "desperate flight of a civilian mail courier carrying vital Rebel intelligence" 00:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sadyl that's not the one. Never mind. --Eyrezer 02:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm removing my vote for now. The article's good, but reading the talk page and in the Databank, there's a lot missing still. 23:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) --Eyrezer 08:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) Grammar Issues  .  .  .  .  07:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Could stand a little expansion. Heck, it doesn't even mention the fact that she was intimate with Luke. Havac 05:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm.. that was in there at one point. Looking back, it looks like an anon removed the reference. I agree that it could use some expansion. However, it doesn't really need to be expanded to be a good article does it? Cull Tremayne 17:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If we have stuff that we know is missing, I believe it should be added first. Completeness of information is partially the mark of a good article. 20:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with you. What I meant was that it could be expanded in the sense that more details of their travels through the books could easily be added. That would definitely be needed it it were ever to become an FA. However, I think it does cover the requirement, "broad in its coverage".

Objections
 * 1) "Background and character" section needs to have "character" information split off into a "Personality" section. I'd also prefer a slightly less generic name than "background" for the section left in his biography, but whatever. Havac 23:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Needs improvement before it's GA-quality. Prose could be improved, and I think it could be expanded. Havac 03:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I've got several complaints/requests:
 * Quote needs a source
 * Comment from Leland Chee in Bts could use a reference
 * There was one or two more, but I've forgotten. 04:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Done...the things you said. .  .  .  .  04:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was fast. Thanks. I expanded a tiny bit myself, which is what I had forgotten earlier. 04:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see a bit more detail in the final paragraph anout it being used in the capture of the Star Destroyer before I'll support it. --Eyrezer 10:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
