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.

 * 2) Made some minor changes, for example. The main pic was incorrect, worth a GA now. [[Image:DarthAbeonisSig2.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 16:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

It was hard work and took a while, but I think it was worth it. If anything needs to be fixed right now, it's on the two sections at the bottom. Thanks!, ---  V ladius M agnum ( Clan Magnum ) 04:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Properly source/describe all the images. 22:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, please! I've complained before about the Sion and Kreia pictures, which are non-canon concept art if I haven't missed some source that canonizes them. Charlii 23:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I copy-edited the article. The quote still needs to be verified/sourced. 22:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I don't think it is possibly to expand this short comic any more. Also, the plot and appearances list are very accurate.
 * Despite what I said, I managed to add a tiny bit more. Also, one user commented on the prose - any suggestions? 23:01, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This seems rather short. I'm not sure it's worthy of GA... --Eyrezer 09:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out that length is not one of the GA requirements. This article fits all the criteria, except apparently the prose. (Xwing328 wonders to himself why he is so determined to get this article nominated... :P) 16:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
