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.

 * Better, but still ways to go. Prose issues, tense issues, copyedit issues, reference issues, some POV issues, and that's just after a cursory look. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * We're working on it. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been working on some of the things you pointed out and I think we'll be able to deal with the rest of your objections during the weekend. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If you have already found those "little mistakes", could you please fix them? It's a big article and I can't seem to find them. And my computer says experience and eventually are spelled correctly..... but that could mean that my computer is not as "smart" as I thought it was.... --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, I happen to see them on a cursory reading. I had a few moments today over lunch, so I went back in and fixed those that I could find. There might be a couple that slipped through the cracks, but I think the most obvious ones are fixed.

 * 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)

 * 1) I've only scanned through it, so I may have more objections at a later date. The known Magna guards needs to be sourced, and in my opinion, should be made into a prosified paragraph, though that's more of a request. Also, there's no references from the databank: if there is additional info there, then it needs to be added. Also has a blank reference and an unsourced image--  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 16:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *Sourced that. Most of the info from the databank is already in there and in other sources, so that's not that necessary. De-blankified the reference and sourced the image. Unit 8311 16:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) *it has on it, it needs to be fully sourced.
 * 3) *One of the images needs to be properly sourced.
 * 4) *I also think the intro could be expanded a bit.
 * I'll read the rest of the article later today and expand this list if necessary. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 10:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Needs to be fully sourced per GAN rules. Greyman ( Paratus ) 14:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per everyone else- has a sorry level of detail, poorly referenced. Basically, absolutely no way. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Aatru is right. This has no shot. Needs sourcing and probably an expansion.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 18:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Removing from the article does not mean it is referenced, the article needs to be fully sourced if it is to become a Good Article. I've put the template back on so every one will be able to see it needs more references, this way it is more likely that someone (that has the right sources) will help reference the article. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 09:49, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) From the, uh...Trap of Ackbar, I guess.
 * 2) *Not fully sourced.
 * 3) *I'm not exactly well educated on the subject, but I would think it could be expanded at least a bit more, if not significantly.
 * 4) *Some wonky sentences. Example: the first three in the main body.
 * 5) *Tense changes in some places.
 * 6) *Complete lack of detail.
 * 7) *Sectioning not the bestest.
 * 8) *Notable users is not the bestest either, and should go anyway.
 * 9) *Surely some better images could be produced.
 * 10) *More info on the various types of detonators.
 * 11) *Em dashes aren't meant to be surrounded by spaces.
 * 12) *No references from what is probably the prime source of information.
 * 13) *No references from what is probably the nest bestest source of information.
 * 14) *Could use some info on who (not individuals, but armies et cetra) used them.
 * 15) *Basically, it hasn't really a hope at GA, and none of the issues from the last nomination have been sorted. However I look forward to seeing how you deal with the objections.
 * 16) *And yes, I know bestest isn't a word.

 * 21) *Please remove the "Notable Users" section - unneeded and smacks of "Trivia".
 * 22) *Introduction needs to be longer and broader in scope.
 * 23) *Technical Information" needs to be rewritten to conform to higher-quality prose.
 * 24) *Prose issues the whole article over.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS NOT B-S
 * Honestly, I can't contribute nearly as much at this time. Is there any way I could pull the nom, and work on it? I've got school, baseball, etc. and it's about to drive me postal. I am trying hard to get on as often as I can, but right now, I've got a list of crap to do bigger than the Death Star. I hope to be able to get back to my usual amount of editing (so what if it's not very much) very soon. I apologize for failing on my part, and hope to be forgiven. Jedipilot94 [[Image:fordocw.jpg|25px]] *Fo-Shizzle*  22:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think you need to be apologizing. Cut back your hours and take a pay cut. :) Work on this when you can and renominate it a few months when it's ready. Take care. -Fnlayson 23:06, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Just remove this, keep the suggestions in mind, and work on it later. And don't feel bad about it.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 00:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) I haven't read it, but there's no unsourced statements in the infobox. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 17:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) From the Forest of Goodwood:
 * 3) * Quote is not sourced.
 * 4) *Infobox needs to be fully sourced.
 * 5) **Source tag needed for name (as in the name given for "Model").
 * 6) * The sentence "The Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I, or Vulture droid starfighter, was a lethal droid starfighter used by the Trade Federation[4] and later, in much vaster numbers, the Confederacy of Independent Systems." needs to be rewritten for clarity and grammar.
 * 7) * "Lethal" in above example is POV.
 * 8) * Grammatical error here: "and could reach 1200 km/h in an planet's atmosphere." Link to atmosphere also needed.
 * 9) * Please break up and/or reword this sentence: "While in this walking mode, a droid starfighter could also latch onto surfaces in zero gravity, allowing the fighters to patrol from the outside hulls of capital ships instead of wasting energy in flight or using valuable hangar space."
 * 10) * The third paragraph in the Description section is a single sentence. Either merge it with another paragraph or expand.
 * 11) * Same for the last paragraph.
 * 12) * Prose issues throughout the article.
 * 13) * Please rewrite the BtS section, clarifying the mechanics of the Battlefront games in relation to vulture droids.
 * 14) *Last two statements in BtS need to be sourced and could possibly be expanded (first from the specific Clone Wars episode, second from the games).
 * 15) *TIMMMMMMBERRRRRRR!!-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 21:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 16) **Just when I thought everything was sorted...okay, quote sourced, infobox sourced, done, done, done, done that, done that, that as well, please clarify what you mean by prose isssues--as far as I'm concerned, the prose is nice, formal and encylopedic, done that.

Comments
 * I'd just like to point out that everything has to be sourced to be a GA, not just "oh, well, most of it is, why not?" Please don't nominate an article if you recognise everything is not sourced. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 17:54, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about this, but shouldn't the intro be left unsourced?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If possible, yes. It is not hard to put the information that one wants to source into the actual body of the article in question, thus creating a clean looking introduction. However, there are a small number of examples where this doesn't work. This should answer any questions about where/when to source. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 01:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
