Wookieepedia:Good article nominations

This page is for the nomination of Good articles. 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 summarising the topic, and the remaining text is organised into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
 * (c) it follows the Manual of Style;
 * (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 tagged 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. If it has more than five votes after a week, the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template.

Comments
 * I can't support this one yet, what with all of the slightly OOU debate within the article as to the validity of Formbi being who he says he is. 23:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) Contains speculation regarding Anakin (the start of his phobia of loss). --Imp 11:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) Some parts of it are pretty well done, but the majority of it needs expansion, copyediting, and general improvement. Adamwankenobi 22:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Adamwankenobi. --Imp 11:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I agree with Adamwankenobi's points, but only for it to become feauted status. 23:37, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Sarlacc (+2)

 * 1) I think the sarlacc is a very interesting creature that should be recognized in the community, that's why I nominated it. Brain40 17:44, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 00:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC) I had my go at the article...now I support.
 * 1) Roron Corobb 17:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Good article? its great! i congratulate you brain40. Jacen Solo ( Request Audience ) 17:19, 28, September 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) Not that I think it's bad, but it changes a lot from day to day so I don't think it's stable enough. Seems like a work in progress. Green tentacle 10:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Poor grammar, especially in the "Anatomy" section. --Imp 11:50, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * It's been pretty stable for a while now so I'm removing my objection. Green Tentacle (Talk) 14:59, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Grappa the Hutt (+2)

 * 1) A major character in a major, and pouar comic serires, Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood. I think this is worthy of the honor. Jabbathehuttgartogg  [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|20px]] 19:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 23:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Objections

Comments
 * Nothing against Grappa... but it doesn't really matter if the character (or whatever the topic may be) is very major or extremely minor, or if it is quite popular or near unheard of. A "Good Article" (and FA as well) simply means that the article is well written and properly covers the subject matter. -- Ozzel 01:26, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Z-95 Headhunter (+2)

 * 1) Nominated and supported 00:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Looks good and reads well, though I wouldn't mind some more info on the variations. What was the short story with the courier version in it? --Eyrezer 04:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Objections

Comments
 * I have no idea. 17:54, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's either in Tales from the Empire or Tales from the New Republic but try as I might I couldn't wokr out the title. Was the story about a guy that helps people evade capture from bounty hunters. Boba Fett gets the better of him though. --Eyrezer 23:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If only I had my Star Wars books with me at college so I could look it up... It's probably from Tales from the Empire. I got this off the summary on that page - "desperate flight of a civilian mail courier carrying vital Rebel intelligence" 00:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Sadyl that's not the one. Never mind. --Eyrezer 02:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Sarcev Quest (+4)

 * 1) Tinwe 15:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Imp 14:55, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) --Eyrezer 03:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 03:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Objections

Comments
 * What was Quest's first appearance? The Emperor's Pawns? 15:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I would say so, since of all the sources The Emperor's Pawns has the earliest publishing date. Just checked the section, Imp has already tagged TEP with 1st. --Tinwe 15:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Time travel (+1)
Objections
 * 1) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 16:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Great work. I throughly enjoyed it. --Eyrezer 22:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 3) Despite the redlinks its a great read Jedi Dude 22:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Brain40 (Sarlacc victim chat) [[Image:sarld.JPG|29px]] 9:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) Imp 13:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC) Needs more images, per the GA criteria listed above.

Comments There's one appearance of time travel in the Devilworlds series yet to be covered, and I really ought to add some relevant pictures, but other than that I think Jaymach and I came up with a good article on a fairly silly topic. 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 16:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I like the actural text alot, but the redlinks kinda bother me...Jedi Dude 22:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added one pic! :) --Eyrezer 06:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm removing my vote for now. The article's good, but reading the talk page and in the Databank, there's a lot missing still. 23:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
