Wookieepedia:Good article nominations



This page is for the nomination of good articles. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like. 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. Nominated articles must meet all six requirements stated above. If an article has a net total of five votes of support (+5) after at least a week since it was nominated (beginning the day of its nomination), the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template. For complete instructions on archiving nominations please see here.

 * 1) Surely we could get some quotes for this article? Read the novel and he's certainly got some choice lines. -- Goodwood  [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 14:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *The other thing I forgot. Anyway, added a few I think are good.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **Goooood, goooood...-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 21:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Any chance of breaking the Biography into a subsection or two? "Early life" (as an example), etc.? I always prefer to allow the article's writer/nominator to have the choice for adding those, instead of doing it myself :)  Other than that, it reads well.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) *Done.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 13:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Comments
 * I need to avoid reading this article for spoiler purposes, but make sure you include a BTS. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I knew I forgot something. But the BTS...wow, how did I miss that?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 01:50, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, the P&T seems a bit choppy. Can you clear that up? Darthchristian   ( Hey! ) 01:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Any better?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 02:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Loads. Darthchristian   ( Hey! ) 03:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Chack. Nice article, but shouldn't the stuff about his family be at the beginning rather than revealed at the end? I know that's how it's done in the novel, but we're not transcribing his life in the order that it's told to us. Harrar 22:17, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're right. Fixed it.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 13:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Source infobox completely.
 * 3) **I disagree that it needs to be sourced. One can tell simply by looking at the picture that she's a Human female. There was a phrase popular a while back: insulting the reader's intelligence. We may have a CT thread about this sort of thing. I'll see if I can find it. If not, and you really feel the rest should be sourced, I'll do it.
 * 4) * Alternately align images.
 * 5) **Did that.
 * 6) * Expand the intro. Not a lot of body text, but it's too short nonetheless.
 * 7) **How about it now?
 * 8) * I can't vote for this unless you rewrite the article so as to avoid referring to people by their first names throughout. Please refer to people using full names in their initial mention, and then last names only for all subsequent mentions. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:14, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) **I should know better than that.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:41, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Round Two:
 * 1) * I've added a bit to the intro, but I would still like to see an explanation of her as a dual swordsman/woman, whatever. PC be damned.
 * 2) **Good advice.
 * 3) * You just said this in the line before, a bit redundant: "and was known as Drallig's finest pupil."
 * 4) **Fixed.
 * 5) * The use of the here strongly assumes that the reader knows what kind of creatures you're taking about. Don't rely on the pipelink to explain what you mean. "the two Jedi were forced to fight the dangerous creatures who..."
 * 6) **Fixed.
 * 7) * If this is happening on a ship, I'd rather like to see "bulkhead," perhaps, instead of "wall": "They were eventually defeated, but the Jedi were forced to break a wall"
 * 8) **Fixed.
 * 9) * Due to the way these sentences are ordered, this sentence seems like you're just repeating the one prior to it. However, it would sound better if you moved this one before the one previous. "Though she fought valiantly, her efforts proved fruitless as Vader backed her into the corner of the room."
 * 10) **Changed it.
 * 11) * I've reworded this slightly, getting rid of the "it," but please elaborate on how he's blocking and ducking an attack at the same time: "Vader managed to block the attack, and ducked away from the strike,"
 * 12) **Good catch.
 * 13) * Please see below per infobox sourcing. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) **Though I'm still not sure it's necessary, it's not important. Sourced it.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 00:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) ***Thank you, good sir. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:33, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry the P&T is so short. She appears for five minutes in a video game and in a 20 page comic.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I do understand what you're saying for the introbox sourcing, but I don't believe this is self-sourcing or anything akin to it. If I may play devil's advocate, since this is written in an IU context, someone being a Human should be no different from them being a Wookiee, for example. Assume nothing is obvious. If she was a Wookiee, I suspect you would have sourced it without giving it a second thought. Why it should be sourced: how do I know that she's not a Human replica droid? How do I know she's not a cross-dresser? Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Any chance of getting a better picture for the infobox? Maybe a zoomed in one of the torso of the current picture? Greyman ( Talk ) 13:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

 * 3) Green Tentacle (Talk) 02:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Please reword this sentence: "However, her loyalty to senators such as Padmé Amidala later led to her being later forced"
 * 3) * Not an objection, but consider adding a little more to the intro. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) **I think I've addressed both. --Eyrezer 11:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ***Very nice. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
