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)
 * Changed. --Eyrezer 03:17, 2 September 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)

 * 4) Well-executed, well-referenced; not bad for a GA-level. Though, of course, you've got your work cut out for you if Featured status is the ultimate objective.--Goodwood 22:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Better, but still ways to go. Prose issues, tense issues, copyedit issues, reference issues, some POV issues, and that's just after a cursory look. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:03, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * We're working on it. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been working on some of the things you pointed out and I think we'll be able to deal with the rest of your objections during the weekend. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 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)

 * Wouldn't a government infobox be better suited? Also the history section doesn't make any mention as to how the Agency arose. Did it begin out as a tax agency or what? I think the Agency shouldbe mentioned earlier. --Eyrezer 01:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Infobox changed and Agency mentioned early in History section. About the founding, Galaxy Guide 4 doesn't mention anything about its founding. -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 18:23, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Nominated. Sourced virtually everything and crammed as much info as possible in there. Unit 8311 16:27, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) --Domlith 18:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

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)

 * 1) From the Forest of Goodwood:
 * 2) *Introduction needs to be rewritten.
 * 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.
