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.

 * 4) Formatting (capitalization), needs fully referenced, needs mention of Loran Spitball, for starters. Also needs to be adjusted to reflect the move it had from "dogfight". Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:57, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * With Greyman's help, this article is as comprehensive as I am capable of making it. Hopefully the community can help it to eventually get to FA status where it belongs.--Goodwood 00:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there anything to add between the Galactic Civil War and the Yuuzhan Vong War? —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I note a lack of information concerning the KotOR period... if it were fleshed out nicely, I would definitely consider an FA nom. Excellent work indeed. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 08:49, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know it could be an FA nom. The problem is that I don't have access to the sources that could flesh the article out in the era you specify - there also needs to be info put in about Legacy-era dogfights but again I don't have the necessary info. This is a good set of first steps, though, what we have now.--Goodwood 18:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The Loran Spitball is using starfighters as extra torpedo/missile launchers against capital ships. It does not apply to starfighter combat, i.e. dogfighting. -Fnlayson 19:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I still say it's a tactic used by starfighters, but I'll strike. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It does use starfighters, sure. The main/thesis statement of the article is "Starfighter combat refers to engagements fought between starfighters.".  I take that as starfighters against starfighters, but some leeway can apply.  A mention of the Loran Spitball somewhere is fine as long as it is not required for completeness. -Fnlayson 19:35, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I added a sentence on that in the Special tactics section. It fit in there without much trouble. -Fnlayson 18:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * There's a lot of stuff covering starfighter combat in the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, such as the Five Stages of Starfighter Combat, and several manoeuvres (such as the Reverse Throttle Hop) that isn't in the article. just wondering if its worth putting in? - Cavalier One 08:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What a silly question! Of course it's worth it, my friend! --School of Thrawn 101 10:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * There's a lot of info there, as I recall. I just didn't want to put it in and mess up the article.  I've not worked on pages going through the Good Article process, and don't want to tread on any toes. - Cavalier One 15:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * One picture needs to be sourced - an image of a Talon I combat cloud car in the section Atmospheric combat. It should probably just be removed from the article though, as it doesn't appear ti be engaged in any kind of combat User:Tutos Lumenarious 20:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Is it possible to provide an example of Nadill's kindness which you mention in the P&T section? Greyman ( Paratus ) 11:43, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think so. After Jori Daragon told Teta of the Sith Empire, Nadill told her: "You've had a rough time of it, but at last we've heard you", with his hand on Jori's shoulder, while Teta and her guards remained a little angry towards her. To me it seemed like an act of kindness [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|20px]]  TheOne&OnlyAdmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 12:08, 25 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)

 * 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.
 * The bit about not being able to smell, is that stated or speculation? --Eyrezer 05:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
