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
To nominate an article for Good article status, list it here. Nominated articles must meet all six requirements stated above. If an article has a net total of five votes of support (+5) after at least a week since it was nominated (beginning the day of its nomination), the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template. For complete instructions on archiving nominations please see here.

 * 1) I've only scanned through it, so I may have more objections at a later date. The known Magna guards needs to be sourced, and in my opinion, should be made into a prosified paragraph, though that's more of a request. Also, there's no references from the databank: if there is additional info there, then it needs to be added. Also has a blank reference and an unsourced image--  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 16:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *Sourced that. Most of the info from the databank is already in there and in other sources, so that's not that necessary. De-blankified the reference and sourced the image. Unit 8311 16:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) I haven't read it, but there's no unsourced statements in the infobox. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 17:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) From the Forest of Goodwood:
 * 3) * Quote is not sourced.
 * 4) *Infobox needs to be fully sourced.
 * 5) **Source tag needed for name (as in the name given for "Model").
 * 6) * The sentence "The Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I, or Vulture droid starfighter, was a lethal droid starfighter used by the Trade Federation[4] and later, in much vaster numbers, the Confederacy of Independent Systems." needs to be rewritten for clarity and grammar.
 * 7) * "Lethal" in above example is POV.
 * 8) * Grammatical error here: "and could reach 1200 km/h in an planet's atmosphere." Link to atmosphere also needed.
 * 9) * Please break up and/or reword this sentence: "While in this walking mode, a droid starfighter could also latch onto surfaces in zero gravity, allowing the fighters to patrol from the outside hulls of capital ships instead of wasting energy in flight or using valuable hangar space."
 * 10) * The third paragraph in the Description section is a single sentence. Either merge it with another paragraph or expand.
 * 11) * Same for the last paragraph.
 * 12) * Prose issues throughout the article.
 * 13) * Please rewrite the BtS section, clarifying the mechanics of the Battlefront games in relation to vulture droids.
 * 14) *Last two statements in BtS need to be sourced and could possibly be expanded (first from the specific Clone Wars episode, second from the games).
 * 15) *TIMMMMMMBERRRRRRR!!-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 21:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 16) **Just when I thought everything was sorted...okay, quote sourced, infobox sourced, done, done, done, done that, done that, that as well, please clarify what you mean by prose isssues--as far as I'm concerned, the prose is nice, formal and encylopedic, done that. Unit 8311 09:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 17) ***Though there's a couple small nuggets yet to fix, thank you for addressing these objections. The article is much better for it.-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 01:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 18) ****BTS sourced, I think the source for that is the NEGVV, but could somebody please do me a favour and check. Unit 8311 18:21, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * I'd just like to point out that everything has to be sourced to be a GA, not just "oh, well, most of it is, why not?" Please don't nominate an article if you recognise everything is not sourced. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 17:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about this, but shouldn't the intro be left unsourced?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If possible, yes. It is not hard to put the information that one wants to source into the actual body of the article in question, thus creating a clean looking introduction. However, there are a small number of examples where this doesn't work. This should answer any questions about where/when to source. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 01:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I added information about him from Star Wars Galaxies. His appearance (skin color) and backstory in in Galaxies (no mention of the Rebel Alliance) obviously don't fit 100% with his ANH appearance and the CCG card backstory. --Craven 02:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

 * About the redlinks...they will all have expansive articles in a week or two, but until I'm ready to GA/FA them, I'd like to leave them red. You...wouldn't understand, I'm strange that way :/ . --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 21:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the red links are fine for now, but the first paragraph under Biography needs to be sourced.  Master Aban Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:09, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoops, sourced. Though, technically, nothing needs to be sourced, since it's a single source nomination, though consistency is good. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 22:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed the reference tags per our Sourcing policy, specifically here which states "Do not reference articles only appearing in one appearance or source." Greyman ( Paratus ) 15:53, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
