What is a "comprehensive article?"

A "comprehensive article" is an article that contains all information regarding the topic. Often, "comprehensive articles" cannot reach Featured or Good Article status due to their limited content. This process is intended to recognize articles that contain all relevant canon information, yet are still under the 250 word limit required for a Good Article. The purpose of this is twofold&mdash;firstly, to help users distinguish what is a stub, and what is merely a short article with no further relevant material to be added, and, more importantly, to highlight for the reader when they are reading something that has been judged definitely "comprehensive"&mdash;that is, a guarantee to the reader that whatever they are reading contains the sum total of all available content.

Nominations and promotions of the Comprehensive article process are overseen by a collective of users known as the "EduCorps," which is made up of the Inquisitorius, the AgriCorps, and various other experienced users who are considered qualified to adequately judge the nominated material.

Lucasfilm Ltd. and its many licensees continue to expand the Star Wars universe. Since new information might become available, it may be necessary to revoke a "comprehensive article's" status. A forum will be used to nominate articles that have fallen out-of-date. Members of the EduCorps will then post a warning template on that page, and a grace period of one week will be instituted in which the article can be improved. If there is a significant amount of new information, it is likely that once updated, the article will become eligible for Good article status, and thereby ineligible for Comprehensive article status.

READ THIS FIRST!

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, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia. This is, of course, within reason. If a topic only has a very limited degree of content that cannot be divided up into the relevant article sections, it is not required that it follow the Layout Guide precisely. This is to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
 * 5) &hellip;following the review process, be stable, i.e., 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) &hellip;not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * 7) &hellip;have no redlinks.
 * 8) &hellip;have all relevant canon information presented.
 * 9) &hellip;be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Sourcing for more information. While this is not required for an article possessing a singular source, it is encouraged, as it provides both uniformity and a good infrastructure should the topic be referenced in any future materials.
 * 10) &hellip;have all quotes and images sourced.
 * 11) &hellip;provide at least one relevant quote on the article if available.
 * 12) &hellip;include a "Behind the scenes" section for in-universe articles.
 * 13) &hellip;counting the introduction, the article body, and "Behind the scenes" material, must not exceed 250 words in length (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc). Any articles exceeding the limit should be taken to the Good article nominations page for consideration.
 * 14) &hellip;if the nominated article reaches 200 words or greater, the nominator must either provide an intro or draft an intro and provide a link to the revision in the nomination, showing that the intro does not elevate the article over 250 words. Exceptions can be made for articles wherein the majority of the text is in the "Behind the scenes" section.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of comprehensive status, putting it at the bottom of the list below. Nominated articles must meet all thirteen requirements stated above.
 * 2) Add CAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.
 * 3) Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
 * 4) 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 in accordance with the established rules.
 * 5) Nominators and supporters will adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied. Objectors may also make alterations&mdash;if there is any reason for contention on a given point, it should be settled in a civil manner in the nomination field itself.
 * 6) Users may not vote on their own articles.
 * 7) There is no limit to the amount of nominations a given user can submit at any given time.

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterward, 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.
 * 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. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
 * 5) There are several ways in which an article can receive the required number of votes. Within a 48-hour period of nomination, only EduCorps votes will count towards the total, although anyone may choose to vote in that window. If two members of the EduCorps support a nomination in that window, and there are no outstanding objections, the article can be considered a "Comprehensive article" and be tagged with the template 48 hours after the initial nomination.  The talk page will also be tagged with the CA template. When the 48 hours are up, any user's votes will contribute towards the total. If one EduCorps member has voted for an article after a week, three regular votes will be required. After the 48 hour period, an article can still also pass with just two EduCorps votes.
 * 6) Once a nomination is successful, it will be placed on the Comprehensive article list. Instructions on how to archive nominations, successful or otherwise, can be found here. Anyone can archive a nomination&mdash;just make sure it has the correct number of votes, has been nominated for at least a week (or 48 hours if there are two EC votes), and that there are absolutely no outstanding objections. If you are not sure how to do this, just ask, and someone will likely be more than willing to help you. Also, if you think you can slip one past us, think again&mdash;someone is always watching you.

All nominations will be considered idle and are subject to instantaneous removal by EduCorps members if objections are not addressed, or at least not answered, after a period of 1 week.

 * I find the last sentence of the intro a little awkward: "A Match Master employed at the Gikosphere was a Roonan." Could we perhaps change this to "A Roonan was employed at the Gikosphere as a Match Master"? If you prefer the sentence as is, I'm willing to let it go, as it is fine grammatically.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:26, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Changed. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 17:08, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * How do we know that that Roonan is a Match Master and not a member of one of the teams? ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 17:24, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because that picture's caption says the Match Master interrupts play, which means in the picture the Match Master is interrupting play. The Roonan in green is blocking two others who are wearing the same color. The caption says there is only one Match Master, so it can be neither of those in purple.

 * Happy to help, Naru. What do you want to know?  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 18:14, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I need to know what it says on the Match Master's role in play. The book may use the word "referee", but it is the same thing. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 18:17, April 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * It says pretty much the things witch the real referee does. He gives offside, has to two assistants and decides if it's a goal. The referee in this game is Parja Bralor. Hope that helps. Just contact me if you need more.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 16:27, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Soft percussion drum

 * Is it clear from the context of the story that a specific instrument called the "soft percussion drum" is intended here? I'm worried this might be just drums that happen to be soft and percussive and don't need their own article. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 22:42, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wondered the same thing, but as the article is not tagged with the conjecture template, I assumed it was named in the story. I'll let Naru clarify to be certain.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:45, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Rereading your comment, Bob, I understand what you're saying now: a "soft percussion drum" can be mentioned, but not necessarily named such.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:47, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * "A band played in the main hall?giant orange-skinned Turans with base nose flutes, electric harps, and soft percussion drums were playing an insistent, exhilarating tune that somehow stirred Dengar deeply." In context, with the specific naming of both electric harp and base nose flutes, I think this name can be taken as canonical. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 17:56, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with Naru here; it seems somewhat ambiguous as to whether this is its REAL name, but I think it's worthy of an article either way; and since it's called a "soft percussion drum" in the story, it makes sense to call it that rather than "Unidentified soft percussion drum."&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:21, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I still think this one is nebulous, but we can give the instrument the benefit of the doubt. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 17:34, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * These two things go for all three articles: The three instrument articles you have nominated are good, but they read identically to one another, save the change of the instrument name. Would it be possible to rewrite the other two so that the wording of at least the second sentence is changed up a bit to add some variety? You could rephrase so that the band comes first, for instance.
 * To reference another short story, I'd prefer not to. The articles each relay all the information available as succinctly as I can think of. I see no reason to change them because it will not enhance any reader's experience on the Wook to do so, nor will simply leaving them as they are detract from it. If anyhting, leaving them identical will save them time if they want to look at all three because they will know at a glance that don't have to go through the subsequent articles if they've read one. We all know that "lazy" has become a buzz-word around here lately, so I'd like to preempt that accusation by saying this has nothing to do with a lack of initiative preventing me from complying. It has everything to do with utilitarianism. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I think it does enhance the reader's experience to not encounter the same prose in more than one place (our leads on longer articles, for instance, are not supposed to copy sections of the body verbatim), but I suppose there's no policy about this. I'm happy to support this article but will just leave the other two alone. (Not trying to be petty, mind you; I just don't feel comfortable supporting all three articles unless they are made more distinct from one another. I hope that makes sense. :)) ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 15:29, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Secondly, and I realize this goes back and forth and back and forth on this site, but I think "Payback: The Tale of Dengar" should be in quotation marks rather than italicized. Virtually every style guide you can find in the real-world says that short story titles go in quotation marks, and book titles go in italics. I realize that on the site, a lot of people think everything should be italicized for simplicity's sake, but in this case, because both the short story and book are mentioned in short proximity, I think it's important to recognize the distinction between the shorter work and the longer one per the strictures of real-world academia.
 * That was my mistake. Short stories are always quoted. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Finally, could you add a publication date to the BTSs to let us know when the story was first published? Otherwise, solid articles, these three. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 17:34, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * Just one: "In 3 ABY, some were incorporated into a Turan band that performed in a casino in a tibanna mining colony on the planet of Bespin called Cloud City." This sentence kind of rambles on, and could be split up or shortened.  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 00:53, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

I suggest saying "non-player character owned" for the former, or "non-player-owned" for the latter. I'd just like to make this sentence a bit less ambiguous without removing your individual writing style. &mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:37, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * There are a couple of things I think should have articles, so I redlinked them. Especially the guy who designed the thing, since that makes him/her a bonafide SW artist and contributor to canon. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 18:33, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be a page for the server; personally, it doesn't matter to me whether you create the page (as Bria (server) or whatever) or don't link at all, though I wouldn't be surprised if someone else (like Bob here) would want you to make an article for it. I'll let Oli decide, and then I'll resupport once it's fixed.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 21:15, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
