This page is for the nomination of "comprehensive articles". For a list of "comprehensive articles", see Category:Wookieepedia comprehensive articles.

What is a "comprehensive article?"
A "comprehensive article" is an article that contains all information regarding the topic. Often, "comprehensive articles" cannot reach FA status due to their limited content. The "comprehensive article" system is separate from the FA and GA systems in that a comprehensive article can simultaneously be marked "good" or "featured" and vice versa.

A "comprehensive article" has the following attributes:

1. It is broad in coverage, In this respect:


 * (a) it addresses all aspects relevant to the topic and Wookieepedia in general.
 * (b) there is no limit on length. Basically, an article could be anywhere from four words to infinity.

2. It is well written. In this respect:


 * (a) it is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers (unlike GAs and FAs, well-written prose is not a necessity);
 * (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.

3. 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.

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 with the Information template and have succinct and descriptive captions;
 * (b) a lack of available canonical images does not prevent an article from achieving "comprehensive" status.

Nomination of "comprehensive articles"

Removal of "comprehensive article" status
Lucasfilm Limited and its many licensees continue to expand the Star Wars universe. Since new information might become available, it may be necessary to revoke a "comprehensive article's" status. If you feel an article has not been updated within thirty days from the date new information becomes available, you can nominate it for removal below. The same rules apply: a total five or more votes after one week.
