Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

 The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wookieepedia has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;be well written and detailed
 * 2) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view
 * 3) &hellip;be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 4) &hellip;follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 5) &hellip;not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
 * 6) &hellip;not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
 * 7) &hellip;have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) &hellip;have no more than 3 redlinks
 * 9) &hellip;have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles
 * 10) &hellip;not have been previously featured
 * 11) &hellip;be completely referenced with tags for all available material and sources.
 * 12) &hellip;have all quotes and images sourced
 * 13) &hellip;provide at least one quote on the article; a leading quote at the beginning is required. Only one quote would be allowed at the beginning of each section at max, although quotes may be placed in the middle of the article.
 * 14) &hellip;include a "personality and traits" section on all character articles.
 * 15) &hellip;include a reasonable number of images of good quality if said images are available.
 * 16) &hellip;pass review by the Inquisitorius review panel.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under! Failure to do so will result in your objection being considered invalid.
 * 4) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 5) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be 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. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

 * Uhhh, well QuentinGeorge disagrees, and it is his right to object to it. You could perhaps ask the Inquisitorius to strike it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Too long of an intro (Rule 7) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed (sort of). The intro's still long, but I tinkered with the opening paragraph, and it should be concise, yet informative enough to get the necessary points across.  Or maybe I'm so totally wrong that there isn't even a word for it.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 03:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's still too long. Condense it to about half of that size! Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 19:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The opening paragraph or the entire opening section? Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 06:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a little strange: It was too short, so we lengthen it, then new rules come in and it's too long...can we just use the intro as it was originally?Darth Ceratis 02:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The intro is the first section of prose immediately before the main body, and it should be about 6-9 decent sized sentences, IMO. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 06:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm. never mind what I said earlier, the original intro has nothing with Trials of Obi Wan.Darth Ceratis 23:17, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Bad introduction (rule 7). --Imp 20:51, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I've tried to cut back on the information, but it is extremely hard. Anyone have any suggestions? 02:43, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't cut back just organize it so it is more coherent.-- Dooku (Solar Sailer)[[Image:Huppla Pasa Tisc.jpg|17px]] 05:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I trimmed it a bit more; see if it's acceptable now. jSarek 05:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Could use both image and prose cleanup (Rule 1), particularly in the "From Master to Master" section.  - breathesgelatin Talk 20:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure what's wrong with any of it at this point. It looks fine to me, I can't see any way to improve it more.Darth Ceratis 18:44, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * Question-in the quote source under 'Personality and Traits', is 'squishy' supposed to be italicised?
 * Yes. It's italicized in the subtitles when he says it in the game.Darth Ceratis 21:12, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm. There's three new redlinks concerning bits associated with Trials of Obi Wan. I'm really not too knowlegable about that part of this, so I'm not sure if there even need to be links there or if articles should be created. If someone could take a look at them and fix them, I'd be grateful.Darth Ceratis 01:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I removed the links. I see no standing objections, can this go on the queue?Darth Ceratis 02:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There are some new rules which are in place, one of which is approval by the Inquisitorius. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * I think I've taken care of all usages of the present tense, but let me know if I missed any. Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 23:00, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I still see several mentions of "is" and "are." Most of those happen when something is written OOU- which is also a violation of Rule 4. Example: "It is known that Anakin Skywalker mastered. . . " It would be better to re-write this as "Anakin Skywalker mastered . . . ", IMO. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 00:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) *"Must include a reasonable number of images of good quality if said images are available." It has two other images that are as good as they're getting. That's a reasonable number. Plus the infobox image quality is highly subjective and your impartiality in this matter is suspect.

 * This apparently failed previously because someone believed it was "too short" and because it was NPOV in the P&T section. I've tried to expand the article a little, especially the intro, and I removed most of the absolute phrases from the P&T, so hopefully that should satisfy those objections.
