Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

 The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wookieepedia has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;be well-written and comprehensively detailed.
 * 2) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 3) &hellip;have comprehensive Appearances and Sources lists.
 * 4) &hellip;be fully referenced, including all quotes and images. See Sourcing for more information.
 * 5) &hellip;follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia.
 * 6) &hellip;following the review process, be 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.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * 8) &hellip;have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the Main Page's "Article Showcase."
 * 9) &hellip;have no redlinks.
 * 10) &hellip;provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
 * 11) &hellip;include a "Personality and traits" section on all character articles.
 * 12) &hellip;ideally include a "Powers and abilities" section for Force-sensitive characters and a "Skills and abilities" section for non–Force-sensitive characters, where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
 * 13) &hellip;include a "Behind the scenes" section for in-universe articles.
 * 14) &hellip;include a reasonable number of images of the highest quality to illustrate the article, as source availability permits.
 * 15) &hellip;counting the introduction and "Behind the scenes" material, be at least 1000 words long (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc).
 * 16) &hellip;be properly titled in accordance with Wookieepedia's treatment of Canon and Legends articles; i.e., no nomination may have "/Canon" in the title.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, find an article you feel is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Note that a previously featured article cannot be featured on the Main Page again; however, it can be restored to featured status.
 * 2) Add FAnom at the top of the article you are nominating and save the page. NOTE: If the article you are nominating has been nominated for FA one or more times previously, you will need to specify a new subpage name as a parameter in the template (e.g. ).
 * 3) Open the redlink (in a new tab or window, if possible) and fill out the form according to the instructions provided.
 * 4) Copy the code provided to the [ bottom of this page].
 * 5) Purge the article to update the template.
 * 6) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 7) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 8) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 9) Be sure to place your signature in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
 * 10) Users may not vote on their own articles.

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterward, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) Please note that in order for your vote to count, you must have 50 mainspace edits.
 * 4) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under, if possible. Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
 * 6) Once the minimum nomination period has passed, an article that has achieved the required number of supporting votes and has no outstanding objections will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article." A nomination will be considered successful if one of the following criteria is met:
 * 7) *five supporting Inquisitor votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week;
 * 8) *four supporting Inquisitor votes, plus two additional supporting votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week;
 * 9) *three supporting Inquisitor votes, plus four additional supporting votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week; or
 * 10) *seven supporting Inquisitor votes and no outstanding objections after at least two days.

Also remember to add FAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.

All nominations will be considered idle and are subject to removal by Inquisitorius vote if objections are not addressed after a period of 2 weeks.

Note: All reduxed articles require only four support votes to maintain their Featured status, at least two of which must come from Inquisitors. Reduxed articles will be subject to removal if objections are not addressed after a period of 4 weeks, pending the support of at least three Inquisitors.
