 * Community vote on the renomination of previous FAs

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must...


 * 1) ...be well written and detailed
 * 2) ...be unbiased, non-point of view
 * 3) ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 4) ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 5) ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
 * 6) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
 * 7) ...have a succint proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
 * 9) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) 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 (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, 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.
 * 5) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

 * Needs a better introduction that focuses less on its name. It also needs a picture to go with the introduction. --Imp 07:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not bad, but: No Behind the scenes, no 1st appearance, no databank, WP or CUSWE links (there has to be at least one), no note on where the photo came from, and some other minor things. --UVnet 06:24, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't get it. There has to be at least one what? Link to databank, WP or CUSWE? Doesn't say so in the nine points under An article must... KEJ 12:19, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * UVnet seems to have established his own rules, with the required behind the scenes and all. --MarcK [talk] 13:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the introduction currently there is good, and although there's no picture the DS II group shot would work. Kuralyov 21:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that one of the images at the bottom should be bumped up to the top. Is this featured in any comics? I will go see if I can find some pictures. - Breathesgelatin 05:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well written and provides an insightful look into the progression of the Empire after Palpatine's death.Cull Tremayne 21:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I just like this subject too much to see it being awarded so soon. I think it could do better, and i'd love to help. This is a perfect example where a wikipedia style peer review could help. Any suggestions? --UVnet 14:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with UV. This can be expanded a hole lot more. And it also needs more sources. --Imp 14:54, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Heck, I'll agree with that, though I appreciate the nomination. I'd be curious what you feel can be added, so I've put it up for Peer review.  I basically culled the NEC for this, but I'm sure I missed things from other sources (the Sharu are mentioned on the talk page, for example). - Lord Hydronium 04:28, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This reminds me of the Rokur Gepta article: a sorry state of affairs one week, FA worthy the next. Many props to Lord Hydronium for that. TIEPilot051999 07:56, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Being the originator of its first poor and hopeless version, I concur. MoffRebus 11:27, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sith Lord Remi 03:25, 25 March 2006 (UTC)   I have an immense interest in pre-Republic time, although this article was copied nearly word for word from the new essential chronology.
 * Actually owning the NEC, I can tell you that you're definately incorrect. QuentinGeorge 10:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think the article looks great. Have the issues people had with it been resolved in peer review? - Breathesgelatin 05:45, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I just spent a heckuva lot of time going over the comic and adding in details, so much that it caused my new TPB to separate from the cover. The only thing I think I need more of is images, due to the fact that I don't have a scanner and I think the school's might cost money. But other than that, I think it looks pretty shiny. Kuralyov 05:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Very impressive. -- SFH 22:12, 7 April 2006 (PDT)
 * Looks good but I agree it needs more images, especially since this was basically described in comics. Get some more pictures and I'll give you a vote! - Breathesgelatin 22:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I really hate this arc in the Republic series, but aside from that, the article is great. I really admire the way the article lays out the reasons for the conflict and how it affects the rest of the Star Wars galaxy. Another very professional job Kuralyov.

 * This article has gone from almost nothing to stellar in a very short time, thanks to Star Neptune. Plus Hapes on the front page is totally sweet. - Breathesgelatin 06:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * My one complaint is that, instead of having "Young Jedi Knights series" in the Appearances section, the individual books should be listed. Kuralyov 15:20, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


 * The "Young Jedi Knights series" is to make all the individual books shorter. Understand? --Jeedai123 00:05, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * But that problem has already been fixed. - Breathesgelatin 00:37, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter that it makes them shorter. Unless she was in all of the books in the series, only the books she was in should be listed. Kuralyov 03:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I find the article to have grammar/writing style lapses that need to be cleaned up. - Breathesgelatin 05:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

A very important page, for a very important battle.
 * Agreed with unsigned comment =P -Stake black 18:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a good article, but I think the Battle of Kashyyyk should be featured before this one.---LandoSystem1138 01:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Anakin Skywalker

Objections
 * As far as I can tell (I have not read/do not own the books in question), the entry has little to no information about any of the events in the Jedi Quest novel series, nor about Outbound Flight. For a major character (indeed the central SW character), this should be a prerequisite before it is a featured article. - Breathesgelatin 05:50, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * It's a nice article with ALOT of deatil.Adventfear 06:56, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes but wouldnt it be nice NOT to get a main charcter posted!! I think an article not known by many (but still a good article) should win.--Bobafett122005 05:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Lots of detail with great pictures and information plus information that lots of people don't know.MaulYoda 13:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * How can I say no to Maul? This article is great, cover almost everything of Maul's life (because his life was short enough to be able to completely cover XD). And yes, lots of great Maul pics, especially non-canon resurrected Maul. Darth Kevinmhk 02:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Not a big Maul fan, but it's very comprehensive. - Breathesgelatin 05:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I like the fact that this article was a improvement drive collaboration, but it needs a bigger intro before it can be featured. - Breathesgelatin 05:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * I managed to improve it to a higher standard in one night. I think its good enough to be a featured article despite appearing only in the Young Jedi Knights series. Can someone also check the Shadow Academy and Diversity Alliance  article? MyNz 20:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The "Members" section seems to be screwed up somehow.  StarNeptune Talk to me! 04:28, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

 * This has been a long time coming. It was on Improvement Drive back in October, and now that Republic has finished and all the incomplete tags have been removed, I think it is ready. I spiffied up some the images tonight, and I'm finally satisfied with it. He's one of the most popular comics characters, it's sourced, has a BTS, and even a gallery. Plus I have a huge crush on him. - Breathesgelatin 06:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
