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.

 * 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)
 * I dunno how relevant this is any more, but Ooroo's entry in the POTJ sourcebook states that most species breathed oxygen. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 15:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * So are all the objections cleared up now? Greyman ( Paratus ) 14:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've made no addition re sentience so nope. --Eyrezer 08:18, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The "Species Navigation" template should be moved to the bottom, or be changed to a right-floater. The "Article Design" part has little to do with species in the Star Wars galaxy, and should be moved to a tutorial article or the manual of style. --Imperialles 14:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by a right floater? I actually think it works well at the top as a guide. --Eyrezer 09:20, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See Adminnav for an example of a right floater. --Imperialles 18:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * 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)

Since the article has been sitting a while, I figured I'd offer some thoughts to rejuvinate this nom. This is not an opposition vote, but just some thoughts that might help strengthen the article. Nice work, though. Again, just suggestions, but I hope they help. They might be more relevant for upgrading the article to FA status, though, and I am definitely not an expert on GA noms. Have a great day. Master Aban Fiolli (Alpheridies University ComNet) 01:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In the Prelude: "Due to Tenel Ka's stance, the Heritage Council&mdash;a group hostile to the Queen, realized that the only way&hellip;" A dash is used after Heritage Council, but not again after Queen. Is a dash or comma preferred? A dash is used later in the article regarding the Corellian Dreadnaughts, so perhaps a dash on both ends for consistency?
 * At the end of the first section it says "Due to extenuating circumstances&hellip;". Perhaps this could be briefly expanded upon?
 * In the Prelude, it might be advised to outline the intelligence role that Han and Leia Solo had and their loyalties a little clearer. Their role was precursory, but very important to the outcome of the battle.
 * In Section 2.2: "&hellip;ripped a hole in the usurper flank as it continued its pursuit of the Queen." Is 'Queen' referring to Tenel Ka or the Dragon Queen mentioned a couple sentences prior?
 * Section 2.2, Para. 1: The Galney fleet is mentioned right at the end of the paragraph, but there is no reference to Galney or the fleet anywhere prior. This sentence might serve better as the beginning of the next paragraph. Also, if this sentence is moved, placing "however" between the two clauses might create a better lead-in.
 * Perhaps a little mention to Jacen Solo's motives for firing on the Millennium Falcon might be relevant to the discussion of the battle?

Oppose
 * 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)

 * 3) *Every paragraph does not need to begin with "Pablo-Jill did..." "Pablo-Jill was..."
 * 4) *Every sentence does not need to contain the guy's name. Pronouns exist for a reason.
 * 5) *BtS could be fleshed out a bit more.

 * 17) From the squalid cubicle of Graestan:
 * 18) * Intro is not up to par; doesn't even mention the owner, or the most notable duelist. These are tips of the iceberg. Rewrite/expand. Include all important pieces of information, only leaving out minutiae.
 * 19) **Addressed. Master Aban Fiolli (Alpheridies University ComNet) [[Image:NewRepublic.png|20px]] 19:27, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 20) * Some quotes would be great. At least one. Two will shut me up.
 * 21) **Was adding one right as you mentioned it. I hope this one helps.
 * 22) * One more image/screenshot. Action? One of the duelists in the ring?
 * 23) **Added another image.
 * 24) * Drop the sources; the appearances are the same, and suffice.
 * 25) **Scaled back, but does this still count as fully sourced, though?
 * 26) * Last sentence of "Description" and first sentence of "History" say the same thing. Also, could the wording of the first sentence of "History" be changed to sound less like original research or speculation?
 * 27) **Addressed.
 * 28) * "On the other hand, sanctioned deathmatches were permitted at one point in the past. In these fights, the duelists battled to the death."&mdash;Highly redundant.
 * 29) **Yeah, leaving that in was not smart.
 * 30) * "Winnings" says some of the same things over and over. Please rewrite or kill the section, adding sentences that remain to "Duels."
 * 31) **Addressed, but would you prefer it be part of the duels? I personally think it fits better after addressing the gambling in the second section. My opinion, though.

 * Fiolli, I really like how you handled the objections. This article has a lot of potential, which is why I'm going to go ahead and vote for it.

 * Some thoughts from around the Family-sized Pasta Bowl of Fiolli:
 * The first sentence of the history section seems a bit run-on. Could it be separated into at least two sentences?
 * Fixed. Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 01:10, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I was a bit confused with the "though" and "however" associated with the first clause of the second paragraph under History. This sentence is also lengthy. Perhaps separating it a bit might clear it up?
