Wookieepedia:Good article nominations

 This page is for the nomination of Good articles. A Good article is an article that adheres to certain quality standards but cannot reach Featured status due to its limited content. This page is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like. For a list of Good articles, see Good articles.

READ THIS FIRST!

An article must&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;be well-written and comprehensively detailed.
 * 2) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 3) &hellip;have comprehensive Appearances and Sources lists.
 * 4) &hellip;be fully referenced, including all quotes and images. See Sourcing for more information.
 * 5) &hellip;follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia.
 * 6) &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.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * 8) &hellip;have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic if the length of the article supports it. This may not be appropriate on articles with limited content.
 * 9) &hellip;have no redlinks.
 * 10) &hellip;provide at least one quote on the article if available. A leading quote at the beginning of the article would be preferred, though not required if no quotes are available. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
 * 11) &hellip;ideally include a "Personality and traits" section on all character articles if information is available.
 * 12) &hellip;ideally include a "Powers and abilities" section for Force-sensitive characters and a "Skills and abilities" section for non–Force-sensitive characters, where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
 * 13) &hellip;include a "Behind the scenes" section for in-universe articles.
 * 14) &hellip;include a reasonable number of images of the highest quality to illustrate the article, as source availability permits.
 * 15) &hellip;counting the introduction and "Behind the scenes" material, be at least 250 words long (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc). Alternatively, a Good article cannot exceed 1000 words. Articles that do so should be nominated for Featured status.
 * 16) &hellip;be properly titled in accordance with Wookieepedia's treatment of Canon and Legends articles; i.e., no nomination may have "/Canon" in the title.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, select an article you feel is worthy of Good article status. Your nominated article must meet all seventeen requirements listed above to become a Good article.
 * 2) *You may find it useful to read the Official Rookie's Guide to Mastering GAs before nominating an article.
 * 3) Add GAnom at the top of the article you are nominating and save the page. NOTE: If the article you are nominating has been nominated for Good article status previously, you will need to specify a new subpage name as a parameter in the template (e.g. ).
 * 4) Open the redlink (in a new tab or window, if possible) and fill out the form according to the instructions provided.
 * 5) Copy the code provided to the [ bottom of this page].
 * 6) Purge the article to update the template.
 * 7) Per AgriCorps consensus, non-AgriCorps members are restricted to four nominations on the GAN page at any one time. Once one nomination is removed from the page as either successful or unsuccessful, another may be added.

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) Any objections may 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) Once a nomination has a total of five votes, with at least three votes coming from AgriCorps or Inquisitorius members&mdash;two of which must be AgriCorps votes&mdash;after at least a week since it was nominated (beginning the day of its nomination) and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template. Alternatively, if a nomination receives a total of five AgriCorps/Inquisitorius votes&mdash;three of which must be AgriCorps votes&mdash;with no outstanding objections before one week has passed, the nomination will be considered successful.
 * 6) The article is placed on the Good article list.

All nominations will be considered idle and are subject to removal by AgriCorps vote if objections are not addressed after a period of 2 weeks.
