Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wookieepedia has to offer.

 * /2005 History
 * /Queue
 * 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.

Objections Comments
 * I find the article to have grammar/writing style lapses that need to be cleaned up. - Breathesgelatin 05:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Short intro, no BTS, needs to be in more categories, and I'd like to see more background to the events that preceded the battle. --UVnet 20:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * How can it be in more categories? -- SFH 01:11, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Ok you got me there. --UVnet 07:12, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * There definitely needs to be something about the immense contradictions concerning this battle in Labyrinth of Evil, Star Wars: Clone Wars and Reversal of Fortune. &mdash;MarcK [talk] 12:17, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with MarcK. The CW/LOE/ROF info needs to be cleared up first. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 16:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That will take forever. TIEPilot051999 17:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * But it must be done if this article is ever to be featured. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 03:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone gives me the details of the contradiction concerning ROF, then I'd be happy to write that part since I just read LOE recently. --Razzy1319 04:07, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll spell and punctuate check it pronto. - TopAce 13:16, 4 June 2006 (UTC). Done, as of 15:31, GMT +1

A very important page, for a very important battle.


 * I think the depth is very impressive

 * 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)
 * It's good, but I'm wondering if the section called Participants is necessary, given that they should all be included in the info-box anyways. I also think there should be one or two images from Battlefront II. KEJ 10:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see some more images, honestly. EAGLES610 19:39, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It's already kind of full of pics. But I agree, it should have at least one Battlefront II screenshot.  Stake Black talk - Contribs at 21:50, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * What I meant was a picture that isn't from Episode 3 or Star Wars: Clone Wars. Sorry, I didn't make that clear...at all. EAGLES610 01:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Mayby finally We'll get battle in Featured article. SkywalkerPL 16:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The Battle of Kashyyyk (Clone Wars) is actually going to be featured next week. - Breathesgelatin 18:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I just completed a thorough expansion of this page, including more about the preamble prior to the battle and much better written information on the invasion and capture of the Chancellor from LOE and CW. Still more can be added, as I based most of my update with information from LOE and the ROTS novel.--Sharkey 19:08, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * Eh... I dunno... I mean it's good but... the force? I mean this article could (and should) probably be one of the longest articles around. A simple check up, brought to my attention that, for example, there is not a single mention that the ysalamiri are force-free. I am sure that other subjects are absent or neglected. --UVnet 02:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that hand picture at the beginning is kinda stupid. You have to chnage that before it gets anywhere. --MaulYoda 02:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There are still three uncaptioned pictures. That's my only objection. - Breathesgelatin 09:11, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto. I'll add my support when all of the pictures are captioned. &mdash;Mirlen 20:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Now there's only the Jedi and Rogue shaking hands picture left uncaptioned, as I'm at a loss for what to say there. &mdash;Unsigned comment by LandoSystem1138 (talk &bull; contribs).
 * Actually there're three uncaptioned images: Image:PowerFromWithin.jpg, Image:The Force.jpg, Image:JediAndRogueCooperation.jpg. EDIT: I checked the history, and it seems like Starkeiller has removed the two captions because they're incorrect...? &mdash;Mirlen 20:19, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree it needs captions and maybe some pictures of the force being used but i give my support.
 * Come on this is just like nominating the lightsaber. I'm sure that these two pages have been viewed the most. Featured articles should bring up high quality articles that are about something that is less obscure than the force --Dumac 00:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This has no relevance to whether or not it should be featured. Refer to "What makes a featured article" at the top of the page. Featured article is a status that any well-written article can deserve, regardless of prominence. - Breathesgelatin 03:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think that it is necasary to have the Force as a Featured article. Many people already look at this thread, and everyone knows that it is there.--Zinnos
 * That is also irrelevent to what makes an article worthy of being FAed.--LandoSystem1138 19:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * By the Force, it's the Force!
 * This is a great article... It'll get my vote whenever that picture gets a caption... - Breathesgelatin 23:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm actually kind of surprised this hasn't been nominated earlier. And Breathesgelatin... Aiddat has added that caption you wanted :) --Tinwe 17:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * UVnet may have a point with his objection. Should this be an improvement drive subject instead?--LandoSystem1138 03:11, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, whoever nominated the article thought that it was up to featured article standards &mdash; so it would depend on one's judgment and perspective of the article. &mdash;Mirlen 20:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I brought this up on the talk page, but it's getting no attention, so I'll say it here. Should the light-side, dark-side, etc sections have the quotes from main articles?
 * I don't think it's something you have to worry about, but perhaps inserting quotations for each major section as opposed to a subsection? &mdash;Mirlen 01:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I say, the more the better. Add the quotes and extra information in there.--Lord Darasuum 22:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Although I think that some of the pictures (rather, all of the pictures) need captions, as some are lacking those, I believed this article is well detailed and should be a featured article. Maybe add some information here and there, and it would be good to go.--Lord Darasuum 22:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * It seems to me like it could use a better intro. EAGLES610 00:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think I've done all I can with this article, but I don't know if I'd say it's good enough to be featured. As for the into...that's not something I'm too good at. If somebody thinks they can improve it, plesae do so. Red XIV 01:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that I think about it, something should be inserted about this being the first large-scale battle that Han Solo fought in. Seeing as he later became an important military leader for the Rebellion/New Republic, that's a fairly significant fact in Galactic history. Red XIV 04:40, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Some of the stuff about Roa seems a little irrelevant to the big picture. Maybe include Bria's theory that this was a plot to ruin Sarn Shild. And more pictures would be nice, but I guess there aren't really any more in existance. Other than that, this is a good, complete article. -LtNOWIS 17:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * no way, this article needs so much word, its being chnaged all the time, facts aren't certain on it and its just...not FA maerial 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)
 * 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)

 * Very important topic. If it hasn't been one already, it should be one imediatly

 * Looks good, except the picture distribution is completely erratic. Needs to be cleaned up. - Breathesgelatin 14:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Lot's of unsourced pic s . Image:Vong-rpg.jpg, Image:Vongpriest1.jpg, Image:Nom anor2.jpg, Image:Tsavong lah.jpg and Image:HidingFromTheVong.JPG. --UVnet 08:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've sourced all but the Nom Anor picture (which was already sourced) and the Hiding from the Vong one. -- SFH 18:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I swear I've seen the Hiding from the Vong one on StarWars.com or something a really long time ago, but it could have just been a repost from somewhere else. EAGLES610 20:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * A little more even distribution and layout of the images. Otherwise, a really nice article. &mdash;Mir  len  21:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * It gives a nice backround of the Vong, and is very nicely written. EAGLES610 19:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * However, it needs the pictures to be layed out nicely and I might have to update the notable Yuuzhan Vong section. MyNz 12:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
