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.

 * I really like this nom, but I think it could use a bit of an explanation on the sentience, sapience, etc. thing. Also, is it canon that the majority of species breathe oxygen or OR? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The oxygen breathers bit is canon from Alien Encounters. It is said OOU to gamemasters advising them on creating their own species but I believe that still qualifies. As to the sentience expansion part, that is a good idea. I wasn't really sure how/where to expand the article and so will look into it. I'm not sure where I'll find canon commentary on it though. I don't think the RPG books I've looked in so far explore it. --Eyrezer 23:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There's mention of sentience test in Planet of Twilight, if that helps. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually AE says "carbon-breathing" species. Odd. --Eyrezer 23:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * So are all the objections cleared up now? Greyman ( Paratus ) 14:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've made no addition re sentience so nope. --Eyrezer 08:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The "Species Navigation" template should be moved to the bottom, or be changed to a right-floater. The "Article Design" part has little to do with species in the Star Wars galaxy, and should be moved to a tutorial article or the manual of style. --Imperialles 14:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Me and Jedimca0 have put a lot of work into this article in the last few weeks, and Graestan has done all the tedious tidying up after us. We recognise that this article has recently failed FA and GA nominations, however, this article is vastly different from the one that was nominated a month ago, and with three different users as the main editors. The article in under new management, so to speak, and although it's not got the comprehensiveness of an FA, we feel it's ready for GA. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 21:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * One of my favourite characters, so I'm game. But needs a lot of work - I think her gradual fall to the Dark Side needs to be the undercurrent of the article, demonstrated by the ease of which she becomes a Joiner. I'm not gonna object cos I don't think there's much point; too much to do. But I'll get going ;-) -- Harrar 22:51, 17 August 2007 (GMT)

 * 21) Needs to be properly referenced, and labelled with all sources. (There are alien reference book dealing with Noghri which have information on the revolution). Also needs to be formatted properly, i.e. prelude, revolution, aftermath ex cetra, what effect did it have on the Noghri.

 * How can I find all of the sources? Because almost all of the informations can be found in the books I listed.
 * I suspect there's additional information in The Thrawn Trilogy Sourcebook, as well as a whole bunch of the Essential Guides. Check the Noghri article itself for other possible appearances and sources. jSarek 11:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I tried to fix all the things I could. I think the sources part shows enough reference informations now. So if you have any other problems with the article please let me know.


 * Also needs intro. Small article. [[Image:The Death of Ki-Adi-Mundi.jpg|40px]]  Jediknight19bby  ( Jedi High Council Chambers! ) 20:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I sourced most of it. It's practically a single-source nom, it'll be easy to get all the references in for this one. [[Image:The Death of Ki-Adi-Mundi.jpg|40px]]  Jediknight19bby  ( Jedi High Council Chambers! ) 14:40, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, but Greyman mentioned the WEG sourcebook too, so how can we get all possible sources?  Talon Karrde Talk to the Chief Smuggler! 18:25, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * ask Jaymach for help. Or else, you could look for it at a bookstore. Maybe Greyman has some, too. I don't know. Greyman and Jaymach both have their reference books listed on their userpage, if they have them, ask them for help.

 * I'm afraid I beg to differ with "it's practically a single-source nom." Various WEG sourcebooks, NEGAS, EGAS, AA, UAA and EGTP&M, as well as EC and NEC also have an abundance of info about the Noghri revolution. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 18:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's a lot. Do all have to be shown in the sources? I haven't heard about most of it.  Talon Karrde Talk to the Chief Smuggler! 22:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid so. You don't have to reference them, but I won't ever strike my objection if there is info from those books that is not in the article. (The non-abbreviated names of them are New Essential Guide to Alien Species, Essential Guide to Alien Species, Alien Anthology, Ultimate Alien Anthology, Essential Guide to Planets and Moons, New Essentail Chronology and Essential Chronology.) -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 22:43, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) Per Jedimca. OOM-10, what I meant by sourcing was referencing (see Sourcing), which is a requirement before an article can become a GA. I'm sorry if I was unclear before. It tells you how references work if you follow the link, and if you need help, ask on IRC. And my name's Hobbes15, not 195 ^_^. Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 04:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
