Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/instructions

This subpage contains instructions on how to archive past Good Article nominations. The archived votes can be found here.

Successful nominations
Once an article has five total supporting votes, including at least two supporting AgriCorps votes, and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article can be added to the queue and be officially known as a "good article."
 * Ensure the AgriCorps approval template has been added. If not, add the following to the comments section:


 * Cut nom from GA page (save it somewhere, since it'll be pasted later).
 * Remove Goodnom from article page and add "good" to Eras.
 * Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when Goodnom was added. The second date is the date that the article was given GA status and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when the GA tick was added. For example, on Wes Janson the first ID is 1380968 and the second ID is 1395264.

 * Paste nom after that.
 * Add article to GAN history, giving start and end dates (yyyy/mm/dd) and outcome with link to archived vote.
 * Add article to Good articles/Random in alphabetical order.
 * Add article to Good articles and update count.

Failed nominations
Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for a month can be eliminated from the nominations list by the AgriCorps. GANs can be closed prematurely if they fall below the required standard and cannot realistically be fixed. Doing so requires a quorum of at least 3 AgriCorps members approving the removal of the nomination, and less than 2 opposed.

Voting to remove
To initiate a vote to remove a nomination, add the following under the FAN's comments section: Vote to remove nomination (AC only)

The AgriCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly why the nomination should be removed. All AgriCorps members should use the Acqvote template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose removing the nomination.
