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 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. 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.

 * 1) I think the pics need to be sorted out. They are cramped at some points and there seems to be too many pics of the planet from orbit. Surely some more from Platt's Starport Guide would work. The gallery is here. --Eyrezer 04:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) I know this undermines my nomination, but the article's still missing a source for the lead quote, and there's one claim in the infobox ("no heart") I can't source. Please strike this out as soon as that's fixed without waiting for me to do it.  8) Never mind, the quote's sourced and the unsourced infobox tidbit was removed. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:27, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I think something needs to be added to the paragrah on antenna about how defective antenna resulted in Verpines criminals etc. I remember reading that somewhere. Also, I thought it was a coup attempt rather than a direct invasion by the Killiks. If so, I think that paragraph should be reworded. --Eyrezer 04:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) *I'm pretty sure the source for that was The Courtship of Princess Leia Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) ** So, could you put it in? There's also some info on Talk:Verpine which should be incorporated, assuming someone with access to the primary source can confirm and work it in. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:02, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) ***Just added it. Sorry it took so long. --Eyrezer 04:44, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) **** Thanks! Now if someone could clear up the bit about Verpine queens from The Swarm War, we're set. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I'd link to the Wikipedia article, if there is one.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 13:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it's just like skin for other animals. And it would be one of the literally thousands of pages that will start to appear if we continue to allow ones like breast. 16:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Darn. My subversive attempt to provide a rationale for an article on skin has been identified! I removed the link anyway. --Eyrezer 02:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
