Wookieepedia:Comprehensive article nominations/instructions

This subpage contains instructions on how to archive past Comprehensive Article nominations. The archived votes can be found here

Successful nominations
Once an article has a total of one EduCorps vote and three user votes after at least one week (or two EduCorps votes after at least 48 hours) and no outstanding objections, the article can be officially known as a "comprehensive article."


 * Remove CAnom from article page and add "comp" to Eras.
 * Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when CAnom was added. The second date is the date that the article was given CA status and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when the CA circle was added. Using a GA as an example, on Wes Janson the first ID is 1380968 and the second ID is 1395264.


 * Paste this into nom archive page (the "Comprehensive article" link that will appear in the above template):

successful


 * Cut nom from CAN page, paste it into archive page below the CA archive template, and save the page

Failed nominations
Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for two weeks can be eliminated from the nominations list by any EduCorps member. CANs can be closed prematurely if they fall below the required standard and cannot realistically be fixed. Any EduCorps member can do this without any need for a vote if the conditions above are met.

Removing failed nominations

 * Remove CAnom from article page.
 * Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when CAnom was added. The second date is the date that the vote was closed the corresponding ID is that of the revision when CAnom was removed.


 * Paste this into nom archive page (the redlink in the above template):

unsuccessful


 * Cut nom from CAN page and paste it after that.

Overriding CAN objections
EduCorps members have the power to strike objections on the Comprehensive Article nomination page provided the objection has been addressed and the original objector has been absent for at least a week after an "objection addressed" comment is left on the CA nom page. This requires a quorum of at least 2 EduCorps members approving the removal of the objection, and less than 2 opposed. Additionally, CAN objections can be struck by an EduCorps member (as well as by any admin) if they do not fall under one of the rules. No vote is required.

To initiate a vote to override an objection, add the following under the CAN's comments section:

Vote to strike objection (EC only)
The EduCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly which objection needs striking and why. All EduCorps members should use the EC template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose overriding the objection.

When the decision has been taken to override an objection, add the following as a comment under the objection, in addition to striking it:

CA status review
From time to time, a comprehensive article may need to be reviewed and possibly be stripped of its status. Any user may nominate an article for removal, and must list grievances. After allowing one week to address the objections, EduCorps members will have five days to vote to keep or remove the article. A quorum of at least two EC members with less than two opposed is required to strip a CA of its status. If no grievances are provided with the nomination, the nominating user should be contacted to ask for objections; the nomination may be deemed frivolous if no objections are provided within 48 hours. If a nomination for removal is clearly frivolous, any EduCorps member or admin may remove the nomination without archiving.

Keeping CA status
If CA status is kept:
 * Remove Cacleanup from article page
 * Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated for removal and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when Cacleanup was added (if the template wasn't added on the nomination date, pick the revision as of the date and time of nomination). The second date is the date that the removal nomination was archived and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when Cacleanup was removed. Using a GA as an example, on Zayne Carrick the first ID is 1982312 and the second ID is 2059191.

kept


 * Cut nom from removal page and paste it after that.

Removing CA status
If CA status is removed:
 * Remove Cacleanup from article page and change "comp" to "fca" in eras
 * Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated for removal and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when Cacleanup was added (if the template wasn't added on the nomination date, pick the revision as of the date and time of nomination). The second date is the date that the article was stripped of CA status and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when the CA circle was removed. Using a GA as an example, on Missile Boat the first ID is 2056762 and the second ID is 2095534.
