What is a "comprehensive article?"

A "comprehensive article" is an article that contains all information regarding the topic. Often, "comprehensive articles" cannot reach Featured or Good Article status due to their limited content. This process is intended to recognize articles that contain all relevant canon information, yet are still under the 250 word limit required for a Good Article. The purpose of this is twofold&mdash;firstly, to help users distinguish what is a stub, and what is merely a short article with no further relevant material to be added, and, more importantly, to highlight for the reader when they are reading something that has been judged definitely "comprehensive"&mdash;that is, a guarantee to the reader that whatever they are reading contains the sum total of all available content.

Nominations and promotions of the Comprehensive article process are overseen by a collective of users known as the "EduCorps," which is made up of the Inquisitorius, the AgriCorps, and various other experienced users who are considered qualified to adequately judge the nominated material.

Lucasfilm Ltd. and its many licensees continue to expand the Star Wars universe. Since new information might become available, it may be necessary to revoke a "comprehensive article's" status. A forum will be used to nominate articles that have fallen out-of-date. Members of the EduCorps will then post a warning template on that page, and a grace period of one week will be instituted in which the article can be improved. If there is a significant amount of new information, it is likely that once updated, the article will become eligible for Good article status, and thereby ineligible for Comprehensive article status.

READ THIS FIRST!

An article must&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;be well-written and detailed.
 * 2) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 3) &hellip;be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
 * 4) &hellip;follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia. This is, of course, within reason. If a topic only has a very limited degree of content that cannot be divided up into the relevant article sections, it is not required that it follow the Layout Guide precisely. This is to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
 * 5) &hellip;following the review process, be stable, i.e., 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) &hellip;not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * 7) &hellip;have no redlinks.
 * 8) &hellip;have all relevant canon information presented.
 * 9) &hellip;be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Sourcing for more information. While this is not required for an article possessing a singular source, it is encouraged, as it provides both uniformity and a good infrastructure should the topic be referenced in any future materials.
 * 10) &hellip;have all quotes and images sourced.
 * 11) &hellip;provide at least one relevant quote on the article if available.
 * 12) &hellip;include a "Behind the scenes" section for in-universe articles.
 * 13) &hellip;counting the introduction, the article body, and "Behind the scenes" material, must not exceed 250 words in length (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc). Any articles exceeding the limit should be taken to the Good article nominations page for consideration.
 * 14) &hellip;if the nominated article reaches 200 words or greater, the nominator must either provide an intro or draft an intro and provide a link to the revision in the nomination, showing that the intro does not elevate the article over 250 words. Exceptions can be made for articles wherein the majority of the text is in the "Behind the scenes" section.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of comprehensive status, putting it at the bottom of the list below. Nominated articles must meet all thirteen requirements stated above.
 * 2) Add CAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.
 * 3) Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
 * 4) 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 in accordance with the established rules.
 * 5) Nominators and supporters will adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied. Objectors may also make alterations&mdash;if there is any reason for contention on a given point, it should be settled in a civil manner in the nomination field itself.
 * 6) Users may not vote on their own articles.
 * 7) There is no limit to the amount of nominations a given user can submit at any given time.

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) *If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) There are several ways in which an article can receive the required number of votes. Within a 48-hour period of nomination, only EduCorps votes will count towards the total, although anyone may choose to vote in that window. If two members of the EduCorps support a nomination in that window, and there are no outstanding objections, the article can be considered a "Comprehensive article" and be tagged with the template 48 hours after the initial nomination.  The talk page will also be tagged with the CA template. When the 48 hours are up, any user's votes will contribute towards the total. If one EduCorps member has voted for an article after a week, three regular votes will be required. After the 48 hour period, an article can still also pass with just two EduCorps votes.
 * 6) Once a nomination is successful, it will be placed on the Comprehensive article list. Instructions on how to archive nominations, successful or otherwise, can be found here. Anyone can archive a nomination&mdash;just make sure it has the correct number of votes, has been nominated for at least a week (or 48 hours if there are two EC votes), and that there are absolutely no outstanding objections. If you are not sure how to do this, just ask, and someone will likely be more than willing to help you. Also, if you think you can slip one past us, think again&mdash;someone is always watching you.

All nominations will be considered idle and are subject to instantaneous removal by EduCorps members if objections are not addressed, or at least not answered, after a period of 1 week.

Please remember to archive your nomination beforehand if you plan on taking it to the Good Article Nominations page.

 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Do we have any establishment of whether it's "Near-Human" or "near-Human"? I see this alternating constantly across the wiki, and that article seems to capitalize more than not. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:47, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) **Unfortunately, there is no consistency across various sources. I.e.,
 * 4) ***Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition uses "Near-Human".
 * 5) ***Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, Second Edition, Revised and Expanded uses "near-human".
 * 6) ***The Essential Guide to Alien Species uses "near-human".
 * 7) ***The Star Wars Customizable Card Game uses "near-human".
 * 8) ***Ultimate Alien Anthology uses "near-Human".
 * 9) ***The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia uses "near-human".
 * 10) **I'm happy to work up a CT on this to lear Wookieepedia policy on this, in line with our policy on capitalising "Human". Do yo want to wait for that to pass first before striking? --Eyrezer 00:19, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * 11) ***Very interesting. Thanks for looking into all of that. Please feel free to start a CT if you wish, but the nom probably doesn't need to wait for something so minor. I trust it can be updated if necessary per any decision we may reach. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:16, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * 12) Exiled Jedi
 * 13) *I would have to agree with Bob on checking the Atlas for any post-New Republic history. I just thought I would make this an objection before someone archived the nomination.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  18:19, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * 14) **Vendara itself was within Darth Krayt's Empire during the Legacy era. It also was not on the Vong invasion route. That is all that can be gleaned post-NR from the Atlas. I really don't think these items bear mentioning, particularly because Vendara itself is not listed on the maps for such, just its general location of Q-4, where Telos also lies. graestan ( talk ) 09:02, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Comments
 * Any post-New Republic history that can be gleaned from the Atlas? Since they're colonists, we can't assume anything about the pre-NR stuff, but for that period and later (or at least post-NR), there might be a factoid or two in the maps. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:49, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

 * Does Ultimate Alien Anthology actually count as a source? I'm not saying that the info on the name's appearance in the book shouldn't be included in the Bts, but if it was not a direct reference to this particular individual, then the book probably shouldn't be placed in the Sources section. Tinwe (comlink) 10:07, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * We've always treated example names as valid sources in the past. "Wedge Antilles" as a sample Corellian name is kind of an obvious reference to the guy, isn't it? Menkooroo 22:27, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

 * I opted for "humanoid" instead of "near-Human" when referring to the Noorians; while they probably are meant to be near-Human, I haven't seen a source that would confirm this. But they are definitely humanoids, i.e. similar in overall form to Humans. Tinwe (comlink) 10:01, January 25, 2012 (UTC)
