Wookieepedia:Good article nominations



This page is for the nomination of good articles. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like. 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 summarizing the topic, and the remaining text is organized into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
 * (c) it follows the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies;
 * (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 properly sourced 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

 * 1) I'm nominating this article because, well, I think it's a good one! I really put a lot of work into it, and it doesn't require regular maintaining.  I believe it meets all the requirements to be nominated for a Good Article. Thanks!  Tommy9281 ( Ouch!! ) 2pm, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Oppose Comments
 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * The infobox must be completely sourced.
 * 3) **Addressed.
 * 4) ***The infobox is still unsourced. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) * The introduction is far too short. Please expand. It should be a good sized paragraph considering the length of this article.
 * 6) **Addressed.
 * 7) * Two things here. One, you pipelink Republic forces to some Rocket Jumper. This seems strange and unnecessary. Was this the only individual fighting in the battle? Also, briefly explain who the Naddists were: "to find a massive battle taking place between Republic forces and the Naddists"
 * 8) **Addressed.
 * 9) ***Good, but if the information on the Rocket Jumper was pertinent, don't just remove it entirely. If it's essential, still include in the prose somewhere. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) **Addressed.
 * 11) * Elaborate on what you mean here: "...Nadd realized Ommin had failed"
 * 12) * Briefly explain what space grazers are to give this sentence greater substance: " Aleema used her sorcery to create illusions of space grazers to fool the fleet"
 * 13) **Addressed.
 * 14) * Terrible is a bit POV. Please reword: "her Battle Meditation allowing the Republic forces to ignore the terrible apparitions"
 * 15) **Addressed.
 * 16) * Please explain exactly why they were defeated. The aforementioned bombers? "the Republic detachment was forced to withdraw"
 * 17) **Addressed.
 * 18) * I'm guessing he's doing this as part of his vengeance streak. Explain what his intentions were by infiltrating: "Qel-Droma soon after attempted to infiltrate Cinnagar, the capital world the of Empress Teta system"
 * 19) **Addressed.
 * 20) *Please provide a brief description of what the Iron Citadel is: " and had Qel-Droma interrogated and tortured in the dungeons of the Iron Citadel"
 * 21) **Addressed.
 * 22) ***You still have not explained what this is. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 23) **Addressed.
 * 24) *You never actually specify that he had turned to the dark side, just that he was administered a poison that would ensure his doing so. Please clarify: "The vengeful former Jedi repelled the attack"
 * 25) **Addressed.
 * 26) *This clausal confusion makes it seem as though Mandalore the Indomitable, a she, is feigning affection, which I'm sure is not the case: "Although she feigned affection for him once he returned, Mandalore the Indomitable made Ulic aware of Aleema's treachery"
 * 27) **Addressed.
 * 28) *Please come up with a better section title than Endgame. Very uncreative.
 * 29) **Addressed.
 * 30) *Please reword this to avoid using corrupt twice in a row: "She was naive to the fact that the dark side had a corruptive nature, and would surely twist and corrupt her."
 * 31) **Addressed.
 * 32) *Additionally, that sentence needs to be sourced. You'll see the tag.
 * 33) **Addressed.
 * 34) *You capitalized "Sith Sorceress" in the image caption, but do not do so in the article. Choose one, the correct one, and stick with it.
 * 35) **Addressed.
 * 36) *Whoa, where did this information come from? This definitely needs to be included into the main biography section somwhere: "when she had Lord Keto lowered into a vat of molten carbonite."
 * 37) **Addressed.
 * 38) *As does this: "Her short-temper was displayed again when she burned tutor Korus alive for simply spilling a drink on her."
 * 39) **Addressed.
 * 40) *Source this sentence: "She was not above using her powers to horrify and terrorize those around her."
 * 41) **Addressed.
 * 42) *Please reword this, which basically reads she "energized by energy": "...seemingly energized by them"
 * 43) **Addressed.
 * 44) *Please paraphrase this direct quote: "telling him, "keep steady, we are going to live!""
 * 45) **Addressed.
 * 46) *Please reword. Up to par with what? "Her Force sense was also up to par (more so than Satal's)"
 * 47) **Addressed.
 * 48) *This sentence seems dubious. Did she truly often conjure up things things? Or did she only do it once? Also, either seems to suggest a previous sentence in which you mention she was not limited in something, but one does not exist. Please reword this sentence as appropriate: "Aleema preferred using Sith magic to conjure apparitions, usually of Adegan eels or other hideous lizards, but she was not limited there either."
 * 49) **Addressed.
 * 50) *In the past when? "In the past she created mass illusions"
 * 51) **Addressed.
 * 52) *Please reword this sentence. Nothing in the article implies that she was all-powerful: "She was not all-powerful, however."
 * 53) **Addressed.
 * 54) *Please paraphrase instead: "she brushed off the attack saying to Satal, "Tell me, Satal – what warrior can stand who believes his sword has ceased to be a sword?""
 * 55) **Addressed.
 * 56) *Please reword: "into snakes that proceeded to attack the attackers."
 * 57) **Addressed.
 * 58) *Just confirming that this was indeed more than one supernova: "the ensuing supernovae"
 * 59) **Addressed.
 * 60) *I would really like to see the BTS expanded. Please include sentences including who first created the character, in what source she made her first appearance, and any other notable appearances that greatly expanded her character.
 * 61) **Working on.
 * 62) *The source list needs to be organized by real-word publication dates
 * 63) **Working on.
 * 64) *Please organize the categories into alphabetical order.
 * 65) **Addressed.
 * 66) *Some advice:
 * 67) **You often add double spaces between periods and such. Although this doesn't show up in the article, it's really unnecessary. Just single space.
 * 68) **I'm seeing a number of instances in which you pipelink important concepts by just giving them a vague description instead of actually specifying what these things are; i.e., planets, names of starships, etc. I've gone through and changed these things for you, but only use pipelinking as a last resort. Always specify what it is you're talking about for greater comprehension.
 * 69) **Always remember to italicize ship names. I've cleaned these up for you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 70) From the Editor-in-Chief:
 * 71) *Mention Ulic's method of recruiting Mandalore.
 * 72) *Reword the BtS sentence to say something about the shared name, but don't speculate as to ancestry. Also, add a blurb about her appearance information, i.e. which issues, who wrote her character, etc.
 * 73) *There's a redlink to an audio dramatization in the reflist that might have an article to link to.
 * 74) *We're taking this to FA eventually, so let me know if you want any assistance.
 * 75) * Graestan ( Talk ) 21:30, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 76) **I fixed the red link parts, Graestan. I'm also interested in FA status, but I didn't want to reach big just yet.  Thanks for the help,  Tommy9281 ( Ouch!! ) 6:22pm EST, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 77) In the article's BtS, it is stated that Sebban Keto may be a relative of Satal and Aleema, but according to this article from Wizards.com, it says that Sebban is "A descendant of the same family that produced Satal Keto". Since Aleema is from that family (She was Satal's cousin), that needs to be incorporated in the article somewhere, and removed from the Bts. Greyman ( Talk ) 15:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 78) The first couple of paragraphs are huge. Can they be broken up a bit? It will allow the pics to be placed better also. --Eyrezer 23:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Tommy, since you nominated this, feel free to sign your name in the support section so known it's your nomination and that you'll be looking after it :) Greyman ( Talk ) 14:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Tommy, one should never strike another user's objections. I've unstricken them; in future, leave a note saying you've addressed an objection and wait for the objector to review and strike him- or herself. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 20:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Toprawa, Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on correcting those things which I was unable to fix immediately.  I really appreciate your input.  Tommy9281 ( Ouch!! ) 6:43pm EST, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * A few pointers: The infobox must be completely sourced, including the "Era" field. I've sourced this for you, but make sure to get it all next time. Consequently, the "Name" field should never be sourced. Also, except for very rare instances, the intro should never be sourced. It shouldn't have any information that isn't already included in the main body of the article itself. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Please avoid pipelinking this to an OOU concept: "released in the era surrounding the rise of the Galactic Empire"
 * 3) **Forgot about that one. Removed.
 * 4) * "Unfortunately" is POV. Please reword: "Unfortunately, the YV-100 was not as easily modifiable as other CEC ships still on the market." Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **Replaced with "Even so", which fits in context (sentence before)
 * 6) **Only two Toprawa? Sheesh. Jorrel[[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]]Fraajic  03:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
