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.

Oppose
 * 1) * Could you move captain to another part in the intro? That's a big pet peeve of mine.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) **Absolutely. Removed entirely. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) The BtS section that compares him to Davin Felth seems a bit irrelevant and unnecessary. However, if you must include it, since it is sourced, the rest of the article needs the same treatment. -- Goodwood  [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 00:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) *Very true. Sourced. As to why I included the BTS portion, this is too OR to include into the article, obviously, but I would bet my next paycheck Doug Beason took the kneeling idea from GG3 and used it for Felth. I think the similarity is too uncanny to not make some kind of mention. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **Meh, if you insist...-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 14:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) *These sentences are very vague and could be written better. Why were they prone to failure in missions? Inferior pilots? What happened specifically that caused Kadorto to suffer? Technically dead three or four times? Give us a hard number, if available. "During the beginning of the Rebellion, starfighters were prone to failure in missions, something which the Alliance was eventually able to overcome, but this problem caused many fighters to be lost. Kadorto suffered from this problem and was shot up several times, being technically dead on three or four occasions before being revived by a medical droid."
 * 3) **Clarified that it was equipment failure. We don't know exactly what happened to him and I've put the three or four bit in quotes since that's as specific as he got. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) *It would be best to add a specific date following this phrase: "before the start of Operation Strike Fear." Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **Added the date of Operation Strike Fear but we have no idea when he actually retired. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) The first sentence of the main text is huge. I think it should be cut in two. --Eyrezer 08:10, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
