Wookieepedia:Good article nominations

This page is for the nomination of Good articles. 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. If it has more than five votes after a week, the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template.

 * 1) I think the pics need to be sorted out. They are cramped at some points and there seems to be too many pics of the planet from orbit. Surely some more from Platt's Starport Guide would work. The gallery is here. --Eyrezer 04:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) I know this undermines my nomination, but the article's still missing a source for the lead quote, and there's one claim in the infobox ("no heart") I can't source. Please strike this out as soon as that's fixed without waiting for me to do it.  8) Never mind, the quote's sourced and the unsourced infobox tidbit was removed. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I think something needs to be added to the paragrah on antenna about how defective antenna resulted in Verpines criminals etc. I remember reading that somewhere. Also, I thought it was a coup attempt rather than a direct invasion by the Killiks. If so, I think that paragraph should be reworded. --Eyrezer 04:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 4) ** So, could you put it in? There's also some info on Talk:Verpine which should be incorporated, assuming someone with access to the primary source can confirm and work it in. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Expanded, cleaned up, and ready to go. Greyman ( Paratus ) 21:22, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Not really enough of a problem to voice an objection, but is the use of ellipses grammatically ok for GA articles? --School of Thrawn 101 22:59, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ellipses or dashes? I see several --'s, but no ...'s.  -Fnlayson 23:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There is one in the second last paragraph before the section labeled "The Naddist Revolt". If it's a concern about if it should be replaced, I have no problem re-wording that part.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 23:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh OK, thanks. I replaced that with a dash to match the previous dash in the sentence. See if that's OK. -Fnlayson 23:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, that was my question, really. I haven't really seen the use of ellipses on GA or FA articles and I wasn't sure if it would be acceptable for a GA article to have them within the body of it's text.  It's been taken out, and I'll add my support to this nom. --School of Thrawn 101 23:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks good, thanks. Greyman ( Paratus ) 23:24, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure. I don't think that was an appropriate use of an ellipse.  It'd probably be OK if it was. -Fnlayson 05:23, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * An appropriate use being a list within a given example or something to that effect. (ie bats, birds, hawk-bats, hawks, etc...) --192.251.125.85 06:30, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, But I only mentioned ellipse my previous comment. -Fnlayson 07:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No no, I was agreeing with you. I was simply providing an example for curious persons to refer to in times of need. --School of Thrawn 101 07:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd like to see another pic in there.--Eyrezer 23:38, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, but when I was expanded the article I looked through everything that Kith Kark appeared in and I couldn't find anything other than those three. I'll take another look though.   Greyman ( Paratus ) 00:18, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually, I don't know, just assumed Hobbes15 was right. And I can remember a nomination being removed for this reason a while ago. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 06:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, ok...but is that just a traditional practice or is there a policy in place for that kind of consequence? --School of Thrawn 101 06:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
