Wookieepedia:Featured article nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best Wookieepedia has to offer.

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...


 * 1) ...be well written and detailed
 * 2) ...be unbiased, non-point of view
 * 3) ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 4) ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 5) ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
 * 6) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
 * 7) ...have a succint proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
 * 9) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status; see criteria above.
 * 2) 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).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if an article goes a week with 5 supports and no objections, it will be added to the queue, and officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, 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.
 * 5) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article goes a week with 5 or more supports and no objections), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating and keep the list in alphabetical order.

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

Objections
 * 1) Lacks a proper lead, requires an edit for stylistic consistency (quotation marks, use of bold and italics), and an edit to remove duplicate links. --SparqMan 11:02, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Comments I think this is very well written. My only complaint is the shortness of the intro, but I'm sure it can be lengthened to fit the FA requirements. StarNeptune 04:17, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. And Star, you forgot to actually vote for the article. -- SFH 04:45, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I did originally vote, but removed my vote because of confusion over the objection system. Not used to it yet lol. I'll put it back in.
 * To think, it wasn't too long ago that I nominated this thing for the I-Drive... CooperTFN 05:34, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

 * 1) SFH 04:45, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Objections
 * 1) This and Imperial Center still need to be merged. Also, it neds expansions on sections such as Fauna. Adamwankenobi 05:29, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * 2) The history sections are very disjointed. The choppy, single sentance entries should be smoothed into a more cohesive narrative. Also, we don't need every piece of dated information crammed into the history. --SparqMan 10:54, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * This is a very well written and detailed article. -- SFH 04:45, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
