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.

 * Ehh, could still use some expansion. If you can work up a plausible P&T then it'd get my vote straightaway. Looks a little lanky for a GA.--Goodwood 16:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * I know much of it falls under one source, but the referencing is too sparse. Each paragraphs should include at least one reference. [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|20px]]  TheOne&OnlyAdmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 16:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * AdmirableAckbar is correct: all the information needs to be sourced...either each paragraph, or each piece of information. Greyman ( Paratus ) 16:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * So every paragraph in the article needs to be sourced? That sucks.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 16:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Done.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 16:52, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm excited to see this nominated here! I've liked these guys for a while and so I'm glad someone has given them the attention they deserve. Nice Going. Having said that, the infobox image needs to be rescanned before I can support.--Eyrezer 05:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I can't tell if someone's being sarcastic, so if you are, I'm sorry if I'm a bad writer. Second, my scanner isn't working. But thank you if its not sarcasm. &mdash; Darthtyler Talk 00:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Eyrezer wasn't being sarcastic. So don't worry :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay good. I hate sarcasm, though sometimes its a powerful weapon.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 02:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed the main image. -- Ozzel 07:17, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The bit about not being able to smell, is that stated or speculation? --Eyrezer 05:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The bit with the nectar needs to be cleaned up. It doesn't make sense currently. --Eyrezer 05:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I really like this nom, but I think it could use a bit of an explanation on the sentience, sapience, etc. thing. Also, is it canon that the majority of species breathe oxygen or OR? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:20, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The oxygen breathers bit is canon from Alien Encounters. It is said OOU to gamemasters advising them on creating their own species but I believe that still qualifies. As to the sentience expansion part, that is a good idea. I wasn't really sure how/where to expand the article and so will look into it. I'm not sure where I'll find canon commentary on it though. I don't think the RPG books I've looked in so far explore it. --Eyrezer 23:11, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There's mention of sentience test in Planet of Twilight, if that helps. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually AE says "carbon-breathing" species. Odd. --Eyrezer 23:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Different.  Chack Jadson  Talk 18:15, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Definately different - but me likes. Could use links in the Notes and References, though.--Goodwood 14:02, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's an interesting one that. I always leave the links out in my footnotes because that is my preference. --Eyrezer 14:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * One of Red's pet projects which I cleaned up, somewhat. We'll see how this goes, and then possibly we can get it to FA. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:50, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I'll try and add some more pictures soon, but other that that, this article is as comprehensive as I can make it. It was a 2 paragraph stub when I started. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 00:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
