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
 * 10) ...not have been previously featured

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.

 * 12) It's a good article and Anakin is the central figure of the entire 6-movie cycle. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 02:50, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * ?I count four redlinks in the article. They're nothing too important, but they should probably be cleared up first . --LandoSystem1138 17:38, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Come on people. This was nominated just a month or so ago and little has changed since then. The major objection then was that there is little to no information included from the Jedi Quest novel series, Outbound Flight, and a variety of other EU sources. - Breathesgelatin
 * Also, a bunch of unsourced images. -LtNOWIS 20:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * For the same reasons as above, I object. Adamwankenobi 23:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Per Breathesgelatin and LtNOWIS. &mdash;Mir  len  00:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree with Adamwankenobi and Breathesgelatin, too many unsourced images and needs more on EU stuff. I object. Roron Corobb 13:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I also agree with Adamwankenobi and Breathesgelatin. Taktwo 22:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I dont know what you are talking about there are no unsourced images and only two redlinks. PLEASE SPECIFY! Ugluk 23:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It needs more on the Jedi Quest series, EU comics, Outbound Flight, and other EU stuff. Roron Corobb 01:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * I nominated it a month ago, but that somehow "got deleted." Kalas Grengar 05:31, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I think its sad that the article for Star Wars' central character still isn't a featured article. We all need to band together to make it worthy. Impassioned Jedi 20:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Lots of great text and pics, worthy of the title Anakin Thomas 16:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with Impassed Jedi, the article for Star Wars' central character should be featured. Jedi Anakin Solo 23:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Should we nominate it for the improvement drive and try to rush it to "featured article" worthiness? Jwebb13 14:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's necessary. I think the article is very good. It would seem new info was added today as well. I think what would really help is if someone who's read Outbound Flight, add some info about Anakin's involvement during those events. I would add details, but unfortunately I haven't read it. - Impassioned Jedi 04:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's more than just Outbound Flight, though. It's missing information on almost every EU source in which Anakin appears. In my opinion, this has a long, long way to go to FA. Putting it up for Improvement Drive might get it there... I don't know. - Breathesgelatin 04:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Almost all the images are unsourced. Just because you know that it's from Revenge of the Sith or The Phantom Menace doesn't mean everyone does. That should be specified in every image. Only a few of the EU pics are sourced with a few comic panels and Clone Wars scenes telling where they are from. The rest aren't. There's no need to specify when almost all the photos don't say where they are from. Cull Tremayne 05:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, for all those people who wanted sourcing for the images, I did my best to add some info on that in all the images that I was knowledegable of. I started with the main bio image and worked my way down. Make revisions if you feel fit, but I hope this pleases everyone. If this settles the sourcing debate, please cross your name off the objection list. That would leave just adding some more EU material. - Impassioned Jedi 01:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Good job, but there's still Image:Anakinroom.jpg and Image:Son of the Suns... right....JPG. -LtNOWIS 03:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortuantely, I do not know exactly where those images are from. However, I can point you in the right direction for the "Son of the Suns" picture, I believe that's from one of the Star Wars: Republic comics. The Anakin room one, I do not know. - Impassioned Jedi 01:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
 * All right, lots of new EU material was added today, I think Anakin is much more FA worthy now. What say everyone else? - Impassioned Jedi 20:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

 * no way, this article needs so much word, its being changed all the time, facts aren't certain on it and its just...not FA material which is a shame since it is so vital..Jedi Dude
 * There is something funny going on with the image distribution throughout this article. - Breathesgelatin 14:49, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely needs some reworking of the whole image thing, but also I'd like to see a better intro, and something nicer in the Appearances, section. "Almost all works of the Star Wars saga"? Then I'd really like to know where no lightsaber's appeared. --UVnet 08:21, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * FIXED - This phrase has been deleted and a list of appearances has been added.  Son of Nils Talk 19:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Not only is it poor quality but everyone knows what a lightsaber is. --Dumac 00:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That has no relevance to whether or not it deserves to be featured. Most everyone knows who Yoda and Padme are, and they are both featured articles. - Breathesgelatin 03:39, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * "Plus many more colors." Come on. I think this is a good article that should be featured someday, but it still needs considerable cleanup. CaptainPellaeon1138 19:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * FIXED - This sentence has been deleted, and the color section has been refined to exclude any ambiguity.  Son of Nils Talk 19:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think this would be a very good choice, since it's always changing and such  Orange_lightsaber  Villip 21:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * When this article becomes stable, and of higher quality, I will support. As it is a highly documented topic, it still needs a lot of work. Adamwankenobi 23:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think a section based on the Jedi Academy hilts is needed. Cutch 18:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * Very important topic. If it hasn't been one already, it should be one imediatly
 * Great, good article, and very, very important. SkywalkerPL 11:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Contrary to what some of us who can't spell say... I think this is a great article. Cutch 19:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Corrections and mods to style and content have been made. Images are more uniform and less "clustered" now. -  Son of Nils Talk[[Image:Sabre_hilt.jpg|50px]] 15:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a lot more cleaner now than when it was nominated, and if people are complaining about it changing all the time, just revert them back. LandoSystem1138 21:45, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Qui-Gon Jinn

 * 1) A major character, whose article hasn't been featured yet. It's well-written, perfectly fits into the Wookieepedia guidelines, has useful BtS section, factually accurate, contains everything that should be known about him, and has neutral point of view. - TopAce 11:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * I think a quote from the movies (ie, from TPM) would be probably better as lead in. The "Blockade of Naboo" section is also a little image heavy. Apart from that, the article seems fine. QuentinGeorge 11:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * In fact, I suggest it could have many more quotes period. I'm sure there must be a relevant quote for most of the page sections there. --Eyrezer 23:08, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * An importent chracter, a good amount of images, but a lack of quotes brings the article down Jedi Dude 17:52, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Per above, but I think the bullet text in the Behind the Scenes section is rather unprofessional. Otherwise, the article is good to go. &mdash;Mir  len  01:03, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Jedi Dude 15:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * I just recently put some new quotes in it. Still looking for one about Jenna Zan Arbor and Forbidden love though, and I may change the quote for Xanatos, Taktwo 22:32, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The link to Qui-Gon quotes at the bottom takes care of the quote problem, anyway. Jwebb13 [[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 02:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Did you notice that there are no qoutes from JA? Taktwo 03:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The Haunted Village

 * 1) This is our best TV episode article so far. It seems comprehensive and as best as an article on a TV episode can be. Adamwankenobi 20:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) I like ewoks Ugluk 02:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Cutch 03:15, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Objections Comments
 * The synopsis is huge! Crikey! That is not the objection, but rather, that being the case I think it needs a number of pictures added to that section. --Eyrezer 01:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I plan to add more images to it soon. Adamwankenobi 01:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * once thats done i think it'l be worth nominating for. Jedi Dude 17:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Jedi Dude Roron Corobb 19:58, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I counted 4 redlinks and many new things that we could try to expand on  Orange_lightsaber  Villip 21:38, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It has about six redlinks.Red Head Rider 17:17, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Jabba the Hutt
style="color:orange;">Roron Corobb ]]  12:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I beleive it's a very popular article. I loved reading it and adding stuff of my own. Though it does have a few red links, but I will more than willingly clear them up. Plus it's a huge artical and tons of people add on to it almost every day. --Jabbathehuttgartogg
 * 2) ok i am replacing my vote again on the grounds that i assume it wont be changed too much anymore Ugluk 23:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Very near to a featured article though images do need to be cleared up. MyNz 00:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) I fixed a ton of the stylistic, grammar, spelling, etc. issues. I think it's worthy of a nomination now. Plus, there's stuff from the Han Solo Trilogy in there now. Cutch 04:41, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) The "Beauty and the Beast" section still reads a little roughly, but the article's great; it's very informative and entirely worthy of nomination. Hell, it even made me like Jabba more.  Jwebb13 15:10, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Objections --- Ummmmmm ..... It's Jabbathehuttgartogg. Thank you very much. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg   22:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) I still think it needs alot of work before its FA material, maybe with less redlinks, plus theres still alot better FA worthy articles. Jedi Dude 16:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Agreed. Needs to be rearranged, fixed up a littlebit, expanded and checked over and over for proper grammar. -- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 05:44, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree i'll go through and fix up the grammar and spelling, i have a pretty good eye for that (please disregard lower case "I"s throughout response ;)) Ugluk 03:14, 20 August 2006 (UTC) ***Update*** I went through and fixed all the spelling or grammar errors i could find. Ugluk 04:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 4) Needs more info on the Jabba the Hutt: The Art of the Deal comics 21:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 5) What more info.? I put everything from the book onto the page into my own words.It's covered.  --Jabbathehuttgartogg 21:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC) [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|30px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|30px]]
 * 6) Info is good, images are good, grammar, syntax, etc. need serious work from someone who knows what it is supposed to say. I would do it, but I think something would get lost in translation. Almost worthy of a cleanup tag. Atarumaster88 02:32, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 7) I take it back. While I have fixed the grammar issues, there is almost NOTHING in there from the Han Solo trilogy. Cutch 04:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 8) Looks good overall, but it needs a longer intro. You also might consider cutting some of the fair use images. Adamwankenobi 23:48, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 9) i am also revoking my vote, i went through and fixed all the grammar and spelling twice but some doofus (Jabbathehuttgortag or cutch) either goes back and reverts it or adds more with terrible grammar/spelling. before this is FA material somebody needs to learn the english language. Ugluk 22:41, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

-- Jabbathehuttgartogg   23:03, 30 August 2006 (UTC) Comments
 * On second thought .... Yo, that was harsh man. If I'm such a "Dufis" Howcome I know so much about jabba ..... Hmmmmm? It's Jabbathehuttgartogg pally and I'm ussally a nice guy. Cutch is nice too, we just get so caught up in the work, we forget grammer. I can belive a lot of users dissagree with you, if you knew who i was and what i (Tried) to do for Jack Nebulax ; created a very usfull template ; Protected jabba (Sort of) from Vandels ; Used my time and energy to make a wonderfull userpage ; Made freinds ; accually found someone who would work on Jabba and so on. That remark was unfair at best dude, and that's in it's technical term...
 * Oh come on leave it the pair of you, this is not the place go to each others users page, don't be so rude Uklug some people aren't as good typers or have diffuculties with grammer and to be honest you havn't been here long enough to start throwing comments like that around, and Jabba you shoudln't bother responding and presume to speak for other users at the same time, end of this discussion take it further on your user pages as you have already made this look unprofiessional with your argument Jedi Dude 23:29, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll be a peace-maker. I'm not going to argue. This is rediculous. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 23:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Information wise. It's fine. Though I suggest someone check it for grammar. And also, please, get rid of some of the images. More images is not good. I know some people's monitors aren't large enough so that it actually looks the way you see it and the images will look clustered. I could name a couple that are unneccesary...-- Redemption Talk [[Image:Oldrepublic.jpg|15px]] 15:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know who striked out what said, im still not convinced this can reach FA status yet Jedi Dude 23:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't take it I did, because I didn't strike your name. Though it was likely because there are almost no red links anymore. Though I don't know how much more WE can add. All I know who's even contributing to the article are VERY FEW people (mabey 2 or 3 users}. everyone else is either correcting it or deleting stuff. For 2 or 3 people working on it daily and accually contributing, for how far it's come since I started on it, it's worthy of the title and I stand to that my freinds. --Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 23:59, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
