Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

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

 * /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

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
 * Factwise, it's nice and thorough, but something about the writing style bugs me. Several run-on sentences and fragments, suspect phrasing ("the abilities of her former profession complemented her place a master schemer and a Sith Lord"), and some overdone prose. - Lord Hydronium 00:09, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I second the above. I also think that the article sometimes strays a bit too far from NPOV, though I can see others disagree.Cull Tremayne 21:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Go to agree with Hydronium and Tremayne. The writing style in sloppy, filled with awkward bits such as Upon her death, as a final act, she drew upon the Force that radiated from Malachor V, in order to give the Exile a final gift. A prediction of the future of the galaxy and the future of his friends. Style REALLY needs to be cleaned up, to get rid of all the fragments. QuentinGeorge 11:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I will add that the article needs a better image for the infobox. --Imp 09:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone has replaced it with the concept art, will it do? - Sikon [ Talk ] 13:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * So, whats really keeping this article from being featured? The infobox image and the article has been rewritten more than once already....
 * The writing style's still very dodgy and overly poetic, almost as if Kreia was narrating it herself. --MarcK [talk] 08:49, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * For the mysterious and controversial figure that Kreia is, this article manages to be factual, neutral and complete (although it isn't hard to make a KOTOR-related article complete). I especially like the lead. - Sikon [ Talk ] 18:16, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Imperial Ruling Council

 * 1) Cull Tremayne 21:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) &mdash; Silly Dan 00:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Thanos6 02:27, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) 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)
 * 2) 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)

Comments
 * 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)

Naga Sadow

 * 1) --MarcK [talk] 22:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Mandalorian Crusader 21:30, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) Lacks a Behind the scenes section and some external links. And to be honest it's not THAT long (though this character hasn't really appeard in many works). --UVnet 06:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) *There really isn't anything to say in a BTS section, nor are there any interesting links to put in external links. As for the length, see Galactic Republic Chancery election, 32 BBY. --MarcK [talk] 06:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * I'll stop nominating TOTJ articles soon, promise. --MarcK [talk] 22:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Zsinj

 * 1) Becd22 01:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Darth Benobi 8:52, 15 Feburary 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) You're being a little premature. Still too many redlinks and not long enough since it was posted. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  03:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Not yet. No Behind the Scenes section and some other yet minor problems. --UVnet 06:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * I wrote it, and I wouldn't vote for it until the redlinks are filled. I've been nibbling away at them slowly, but I've been distracted by deploying the new ship template. Once the redlinks are filled, and there has been time for people to proofread it and edit it for style and POV, then maybe it will be featured material. I'm happy that so many people like it, though. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  03:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
