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 total of five votes after at least a week since it was nominated (beginning the day of its nomination) and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), 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. Also remember to add GAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.

 * 1) Minor objection, but the information in the succession box at the bottom needs to be sourced like you would with an infobox. Other than that, the article reads well :)  Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 02:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Toprawa:
 * 3) * Please add a little bit to give the thought bomb some context as to what it is here: "she abandoned her fellow Sith Lords when she learned of Kaan's desire to use the thought bomb"
 * 4) **Looks like someone has already taken care of that. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) * The paragraph beginning "Bane survived using the dark side to purge" really digresses from the central theme of this article - Githany - and large parts are highly irrelevant. I would suggest cutting out the fat
 * 6) **I agree. Not sure why that was there. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) * This is introduced very roughly, and needs to be explained - what is the thought bomb, who is unleashing it, what is its intended purpose? "The thought bomb was about to be unleashed"
 * 8) **Fixed by me; I am the "somebody else" that QG refers to.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 12:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) * Please elaborate on this a little bit. Her true thoughts concerning what? "Despite her extroverted personality, Githany kept her true feelings closely guarded."
 * 10) **Ok. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) * Need to avoid this speculation. If you can't reword this to do, I would suggest removing this sentence entirely: "Githany most likely held the same powers and abilities of most Jedi or Sith of her time."
 * 12) **Gone. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) * The information under the "Appearance" section should be merged with the "Personality and traits."
 * 14) **Disagree with that, but if that's what the MoS says, I will do so. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) *I'm not sure where this quote is coming from, but it needs to be attributed to someone. I would suggest paraphrasing this instead for cleaner prose: "perfect examples of the human female form."
 * 16) **That's exactly how PoD describes her. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) ***So you're quoting prose? That's not how we write articles. Please paraphrase. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 18) *Please cut the speculation: "which may have been of Sith design."
 * 19) **Ok. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 20) *Ditto on the speculation: "feelings no doubt enhanced by Kaan's potent mind manipulation abilities."
 * 21) **That's exactly what the book says. Kaan uses his mind manipulation to increase her attraction to her. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) *Your "Kaan" and "Darovit" subsections under the "Relationships" section are unnecessary. Such a section should be reserved for serious romantic relationships, not an individual analysis of every person she interacted with. You may choose to rewrite and insert some of this information into the P&T. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 23) **That rule is totally ridiculous and stupid, considering Kaan and Darovit are not just "people she interacts with", but looks like someone already deleted that so I will leave it. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Seems to fit the requirements. The prose might be a little watery, but that could easily be remedied. Din&#39;s Fire 997 00:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Object
 * 1) The article and the infobox need to be fully sourced, please.  Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 20:13, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) *How's that? Din&#39;s Fire 997 00:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **Per Rule 2(a). It can be confusing if you're not familiar with it, but here is the sourcing page, which provide steps to follow. Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 01:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) ***Better? (thanks for the link, btw. This whole process is really expanding my skills, if nothing else) Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Good, I'm glad to hear it! It looks much better, and the only thing you need to source now is this statement, "However, it did not gain notoriety until it was taken as a refuge by rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial." Otherwise, the sourcing is complete. Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 01:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *****Needed a minor rephrase, but it's sourced now. Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Toprawa:
 * 8) * Din, right now the article is just too short. These one sentence paragraph haphazardly summarizing events should be fleshed out to the length of paragraphs.
 * 9) * Additionally, the article should be ordered to fit within our Layout Guide. If you go that page and go down to number 11, you'll see how a planet article should be sectioned. I would also recommend you take a look at Agamar, a recently passed Featured Article. That's just how a planet article should be done. You can use that as a model. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) * In that case, you'll need to add the bit in the intro to the body of the article as well. I can't say never, but an article should almost never have intro material not covered in the body someplace. Once in a blue moon an exception will rear its ugly head, but this is certainly not one of them. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) **Adressed all of that, I believe. Heck, I'm pretty sure this is technically long enough to be an FA now (not pushing my luck though). If there's anything else, I'll do it - I've come this far. Din&#39;s Fire 997 06:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) ***I must say, Din, although I haven't read through it yet, I'm impressed. Just how it should look, at any rate. I'll review it soon. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) *Would be good to add a little bit here, to say it was located in Sith Space: " was the third planet in the Dromund system"
 * 14) *Please give a time frame (i.e. year) to give this greater context: "The site of a major battle during the New Sith Wars"
 * 15) *Weasel words like "possibly" and "apparently" are doorways to speculation, which is a big no-no when writing articles. If you can't reword to avoid the "possibly," I would suggest removing that little clause entirely: "for centuries, possibly even millennia"
 * 16) *What, specifically, does "average-sized" mean? In relation to what? Does the source say this, or are you extrapolating this from something? Greater clarification, specification would help here: "Dromund Kaas was an average-sized planet"
 * 17) *Again, "seemed" is one of these weasel words. Something either did or didn't. Write what you know: "Only very durable life-forms seemed to survive long in the swamps"
 * 18) *Please briefly describe who Kaan is here. Don't assume the reader knows who anyone is: "and Kaan's New Sith Empire"
 * 19) *Specify, with years, what these times in history were: "During varying points in history, Dromund Kaas was held by both the Old Sith Empire and Kaan's New Sith Empire."
 * 20) *Again, a year, please: "However, it was effectively abandoned until it became a refuge for rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial"
 * 21) *Explain what the Rule of Two here is: "Having rejected the Rule of Two"
 * 22) *Year/time frame, please: "until its rediscovery by one Darth Sidious"
 * 23) *This sentence is highly speculative. Please reword to avoid saying "It is believed." Does the source explicitly say someone believed this? If so, who? "It is believed that Yoda may have personally investigated the system, however any such mission would have been known only to the highest ranks of the Jedi, and any records of the project have been lost."
 * 24) *Can we elaborate on this battle? If not, at the very least create an article for this battle, please: "Despite this level of secrecy, the 327th Star Corps would later fight a battle on Dromund Kaas during the Clone Wars"
 * 25) *Can we elaborate on what inscriptions these were: "learned of the planet from ancient inscriptions"
 * 26) *Please provide a date here. I'm almost certain it's 10 ABY: "until Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn learned of the planet from ancient inscriptions."
 * 27) *Calling these things abominations is pretty POV. Please choose a better word: "and battled many Sith abominations"
 * 28) *Please elaborate on what exactly Dark Mara is: "along with the apparition known as Dark Mara"
 * 29) *What, exactly, is an act of faith? "an act of faith in Katarn's heart"
 * 30) *Please reword the beginning of this sentence to avoid starting out with dead construction like "At this." At what? "At this, Katarn was able to overthrow the dark taint of the Temple,"
 * 31) *Not an objection, but a pointer. Linking should be done as followed: Link upon first mention in the intro and once again upon first mention in the body, and then avoid linking something again for the remainder of the article
 * 32) *Timeframes, please: "Built during the original Sith Empire, the Temple was deserted shortly after the Great Hyperspace War"
 * 33) *Who is Seviss Vaa? "the Temple's location eventually fell into the hands of Seviss Vaa"
 * 34) *Please add a little bit to the beginning of the BTS explaining where it first appeared in SW media.
 * 35) *Without checking, I suspect your source list may be out of order. It should be ordered by OOU publication date. Please check.
 * 36) *Overall, not bad, Din. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:05, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 37) **Adressed a lot of that, but there's a fair amount that simply can't be.
 * 38) **Dates are impossible in many cases. We don't knew when, exactly, any of these battles took place, and, since we don't know when Darth Millennial was even alive saying when he landed is also out.
 * 39) **"Only very durable life-forms seemed to survive long in the swamps" In fact, that is avoiding speculation. The only life-forms we've seen on Kaas are durable, but we can't use a blanket statment here. Hence "seemed." Of course, if "until otherwise proven" is okay, then I'll alter it.
 * 40) **To quote the original source "It's believed that Yoda may have visited the Dromund system." Doesn't say by whom.
 * 41) ** Nothing can be done about the "ancient inscriptions." We don't know when, where, or what they consisted of. It seems I was mistaken. JvS says 9 ABY.
 * 42) **Again, directly from Wizards.com "Kyle Katarn traveled there after learning of the witchworld in ancient inscriptions, battling a host of Sith abominations in the planet's seemingly endless bogs before succumbing to the spell of the dark side of the Force." That's what they're called. Abominations.
 * 43) **Not much can be added about Dark Mara. She was a spirit with a lightsaber. The end. If you can think of a way to add that bit without breaking up the prose, by all means, alter.
 * 44) **Act of faith is a real-world term
 * 45) **Anything else? I admit this is tiring, but darn it, I am getting this bloody thing through if it kills me.Din&#39;s Fire 997 03:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 46) From the Bridge of Chack Jadson:
 * 47) * I agree with Toprawa. The article has too many two sentence paragraphs.
 * 48) * Also, check out the layout guie like he suggested. Model the article to fit that, and it will be much improved.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, seeing that no one has changed their vote to a positive one (even though I have addressed almost every addressable concern) I will assume that interest has waned (not surprising given recent policy battles regarding GA status) and will wait for the inevitable failure of this nomination. After a cool-down period, I intend to re-nominate. In any case, at least I’ve learned a bit from this endeavor. Cheers. Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Please familiarize yourself with our Layout Guide to see how a character article should be "laid out." Your intro must be greatly expanded, needs a P&T section, and a BTS couldn't hurt. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **I have enlarged the intro and added a small BTS, but I find it a little pointless to add a P&T because we don't really know much about the character becides what's in the biography. Also, at least five GA characters that don't have P&Ts: Lii, Imperial Ace, Dorsk 81, Luminara Unduli, and Uldir Lochett. I honestly believe that this article should be a good article.
 * 4) ***Nonsense. A character article should never go without a P&T. Previously passed GANs without them, doesn't make the trend right. It means they passed before I started reviewing. ;) Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Yeah. Every character has a Personality, even if you can only write several lines on it. You should check out Chertyl Ruluwoor (Human), a Galaxies NPC article I wrote (if only for amusement), to get an idea of how to write a P&T on a character with such little info. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *****OK, the P&T has been made, and thanks Ackbar for the Chertyl Ruluwoor (Human) page, it help a little. Kilson 15:26, 18 April 08 (UTC)
 * 7) * Why, exactly, are we speculating that Geonosis may be his homeworld? Simply because he's Geonosian? If nothing in the game besides that supports this possibility, this needs to go.
 * 8) ** I'm still not positive anything specifically says he's from Geonosis. If the game doesn't explicitly say this, we can't assume.
 * 9) ***Sorry about that, I thought I got rid of Geonosis, I must have missed it. Kilson likes PIE 21:04, 6 May 08 (UTC)
 * 10) * Also, how, specifically, is he "affiliated" with Kachirho? It would seem more pertinent to affiliate him with something akin to his scientist dealings, but since we don't know that, it's probably best to leave this blank as well
 * 11) * Your biography section starts out very rough, with little transition. It needs a better beginning sentence explaining who and what the character is.
 * 12) * We'll deal with the remainder of the prose when you handle these objections. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) **OK, I got it done, I hope it's good now Kilson 16:21, 28 April 08 (UTC)
 * 14) * Speculation needs to go: "possibly because the research there was starting to become less peaceful and ethical"
 * 15) * This is speculative wording. Remove the weasel word "apparently" and better reword it to read more factually: "Apparently the patrol had found him unconscious in the woods with documents stating a vile plan to do harmful experiments on many Wookiees."
 * 16) * Please add a little context to explain who this Ovarra is: "The spacer returned to Kachiro and brought the documents to Elder Ovarra"
 * 17) * The P&T doesn't read very encyclopedic, and seems to be laden with Original Research. Please rewrite
 * 18) **The P&T as you had it was much better than the changed, so I put it back. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) * Please order the categories at the bottom of the page by alphabetic order Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 20) **Got it, and if your going to add anything else, please add it all together and not at different times. It would make things quicker. Kilson 23:40, 10 May 08 (UTC)
 * 21) ***This way is easier for me because, with all due respect, I don't know who you are, and too many newcomers will come to the GAN page with a nomination only to leave and never come back again. As such, performing a complete review ends up being a waste of my time. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) ****I understand, and thanks, I think this has actually helped me. I think it will have and easier time the next time I try to get an article nominated.
 * 23) In the intro, can you add a reference to the timeframe for these events? --Eyrezer 08:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I think that'll work.
 * 1) **Yep, that's all that was needed. --Eyrezer 22:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And, Kilson, we don't add bullets to the BTS anymore. Please avoid that. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to get a second picture for this article? --Eyrezer 08:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * While I was searching the web, I did come upon a full body picture of Ikvizi on the Star Wars Galaxies wiki, but it isn't that different form the one we already have up there. I could also put up a pretty good picture of Ovarra from the Galaxies wiki, I'll upload it if you want.

 * 10) ****That's all it needs, really. ;) Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) * This is kinda OR-ish. Does the source say this exactly? "and more generally knowledgeable than the average bounty hunter."
 * 12) ** It says he increased his "knowledge" attribute. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) ***I'm not sure that necessarily means he's "smarter than the average bear." What if you said something like, "he grew wiser because of his experiences" or something?
 * 14) **** It's not that he "grew wiser", it's that all his academic-type skills went up a bit. Any increase in common sense or wisdom would have come through in personality changes over time.  Since he has little personality or chronological biography, we can't say that. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) *****Well, I don't think that means he's smarter than the average bounty hunter. That would definitely be OR to assume that. I invite you to discuss this with me in IRC. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) ****** You're right, that would assume his starting Knowledge attribute represented general intelligence equal to or greater than the average bounty hunter. Game mechanically, it is, but treating that as objective fact is stretching it.  How about just "more generally knowledgeable than he was as a rookie"? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) *******Perfect. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 18) * The last three sentences of the Equipment section gets kind of listy, just spewing facts. Try to "prosify" it a bit more
 * 19) ** Do you refer to the description of his arsenal or the speculative sentences which I removed? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 20) ***This here. I feel like I'm literally reading his RPG stats out of the book: "Thannik wore a protective vest and a jetpack. Thannik carried about 1000 credits with him. In case of emergency, he also carried two medpacs."
 * 21) **** Made less listy. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) *****Much better. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 23) * This is really heavy speculation and needs to be rewritten to more appropriately fit tone. If this cannot be done, this needs to be removed, or perhaps moved into a "speculation section" in the BTS: "Thannik's ship may have been Thannik's Thunder, a class 720 freighter which Thannik's associate Rhen is known to have flown. If Thannik's Thunder was the hunter's ship, Thannik may have been present when Rhen flew the freighter against pirates flying Z-95 Headhunters or against Imperial TIE fighters.  He may also have been on board when Thannik's Thunder was captured by the tractor beams of an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer."
 * 24) ** If his friend flies a ship named after him, which is of the same class as a ship he is known to have owned, I think the first sentence doesn't go beyond reasonable speculation. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 25) ***If it can't be rewritten to avoid speculation and is otherwise "solid speculation," it should be put in the BTS somewhere, instead of speculating within the article. Anything you removed can still be salvaged and put in the BTS. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 26) **** I'm going to ask for a second opinion on this. I don't think it goes beyond an unacceptable level of speculation. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 27) ***** Ok...? This isn't really a debate. We don't add speculation to articles. It's kind of our rule. As such, we've made it an accepted practice to add hypothetical things like this to the BTS so as not to ignore them entirely. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 28) ****** We put in speculation all the time, it's just that it's usually put in articles no one tries running by Inquisitors. (Here's a random article with speculation in the lead, but you can probably find others.)

 * 2) **I've reworded one of the "moody's." I've used these words as are because these are the terms canonically used to describe him. I'm hesitant to substitute a synonym that may not fully capture the true meanings of those two words. Also, "flamboyant" is only used twice, once in the bio, and once in the P&T. Traditionally, we accept some repetition between the two sections, although short articles like this have an unfortunate way of exposing this to a somewhat uncomfortable degree, as Eyrezer has noted above.

 * I seem to remember, though I might be confusing events, that somewhere (maybe Insider?) commented that the "Thank the Maker" tattoo was actually a mistake due to costum mix ups, or something. I could be remembering wrong, as it's been a long time since I've seen this character in anything, but I thought I'd point it out in case it does pan out to be true; if it is, it might be worth a mention in the BtS. Greyman  @wikiajanitor ( Talk ) 23:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * None of the sources in the article describe this, though it's certainly possible he appears in an Insider article with this. When I was working on the article, I seemed to remember something describing how they (obviously) did it as a joke, but couldn't find anything. I'll keep my eye out, of course. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So, in the process of looking for some SWCCG info for a project of mine, I came across something interesting, to say the least. In my collection, I came across this card, which is the exact same description, and from the same set, as this card of R-3PO. However, as one can see, the card that I found shows R-3PO in what appears as a white/light colour, as opposed to the dark colour portrayed in the other card. I honestly don't know if this was a mistake by the SWCCG, or what, to print two cards with the same descriptions, in the same set, but with different pictures, but I thought I'd make you aware of this, since it looks like some good BtS info :P Since I was cropping other SWCCG card pics for my use, I did this one too, in case you want to use it in the infobox or BtS → white R-3PO.

 * 6) * Are you sure on some of those sources? If Ep. III was its first appearance, how did it appear in Ep. II? Also, I'm almost positive both Lego Star Wars entries aren't accurate; unless it states somewhere in the booklet or Prima guide that they are Q-series, they didn't "technically" make an appearance. I'm pretty sure this applies to many of your sources (FoC, being another one - if it does appear there, let me know).

Also, the Prima Official Guide for LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and the guide for LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga both list the droideka model as Q-series. I forgot to source this, and will do it now. Thirdly, it was my mistake adding AotC in the appearances. Lastly, the Q-series droideka was the main droideka model manufactured after the Battle of Coruscant featured in RotS, the source being the novel I recently read, but I also forgot to source this; that's why most appearances are after the time of RotS.

 * 18) **All information, such as the droideka dispenser bit, that's referenced from Republic Commando will need to be removed if the droids in question are not actually Q-series.

 * 31) Are they definitely Q-series in Survivor's Quest and Battlefront? Frankly, half the article looks like you've taken info about the regular droideka and used it for the Q-series's article. Unless models appearing are specifically identified as Q-series, then the info cannot be included.
 * I'll note that while a Behind the scenes (BTS) is often preferred in articles, a BTS is not required per the current GAN rules. It's fine to ask if one can be created using any available information, but it's not a requirement, per se. Greyman  @wikiajanitor ( Talk ) 05:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, thank you for the remarks, they were quite helpful. Next time I will read and think it over more properly, before nominating an article. I guess it fails now, but I am going to work on it in the future. There is one thing I want to point out, however. This poor animal has quite a few appearances, that is true. However, if you look carefully, many of them are role-playing sourcebooks, and there are only a few works where dewbacks play a role greater than being in the background. Mostly just the main biological facts are listed in the sourcebooks, therefore I do not think that the Biology section can be expanded much more. For expanding the history section one needs stories involving dewbacks. Unfortunately I have to leave the incorporation of these into the section to those people who have more of these works at their disposal. Domlith 21:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 2) *Not bad, but pretty rough around the edges. Here are the things I notice without even reading the article:
 * 3) * Intro should be expanded
 * 4) **I added a few more details about her background and the situation she encountered. ajeanette 22 May 2008
 * 5) *These one sentence sections are not good. They need to be either expanded or condensed into other sections. They look especially bad considering your one section is six paragraphs long. There's just no presentation feel to the article. Sectioning needs major work.
 * 6) **The second and third sections still need work. Six paragraphs in a single section of an article this size is a little overdone, and the little bit about her emergence from stasis still doesn't warrant its own section, at least not the bit amount allotted. Better section division, please. Toprawa and Ralltiir
 * 7) * Your last section title is not exactly encyclopedic.
 * 8) * We don't capitalize "Galaxy" anymore.
 * 9) * Please don't put spaces in between punctuation and referencing. A minor issue, but a formatting issue nonetheless.
 * 10) * Your images should alternate from right to left down the sides of the page, which they do not.

 * 1) The Anvil:
 * 2) *With all the images that have popped up for this chick, the profile shot just isn't a good one for the main image. One in particular sticks out as being more appropriate (Image:Celeste KOTORcover.jpg)...
 * 3) *That being said, your image layout could use some work. Try not to have the images on the left displacing the section titles, and make sure that the three images you have placed in the article are evenly spaced, so as not to appear cluttered in one area or another.
 * 4) *In the intro, you say: "Celeste Morne was a female Human Jedi Knight who served the Jedi Covenant as a Shadow, an agent whose records of their existence had been erased and were known only to a few of the Covenant's members." Clunky prose, should be reworded.
 * 5) *(In the intro) You go on to say, "Her losses from the Great Sith War channeled her dedication to the cause of the Covenant to stop the Sith from rising again." Her involvement in the GSW must have been significant enough for a brief mention. And, what did the War cause her to lose?
 * 6) *(Intro still) "In 3,963 BBY the Covenant assigned her a mission to retrieve an ancient Sith artifact known as the Muur Talisman and kill Zayne Carrick, the Jedi Padawan fugitive." Please reword.
 * 7) *(Intro still) "However, in the course this mission she doubted Zayne's criminal charges and faced off against the rampant Rakghoul plague, caused by the Muur Talisman, infecting the Mandalorian invasion force on Jebble." You make it sound as though she fought the plague. It sounds to me more like she encountered it.
 * 8) *(Intro still) "In the course of her struggle to complete her far more complicated mission and dealing with her own doubts about Carrick, Celeste fell under the possession of the Muur Talisman." Clunky prose, should be reworded.
 * 9) *Early career section: You start by saying, "After the destruction of Ossus, Celeste's family became homeless and wandered the Galaxy for years until they fell apart". I feel like I was just dropped head-first into the story. I think that each of the things mentioned in this sentence could be fleshed out, ie: the destruction of Ossus, what about it caused her family to become homeless, why they fell apart.
 * 10) *Next sentence, "However, Celeste found herself a new family in the Covenant as a secret agent devoted to stopping the rise of the Sith in the galaxy again." Who is this Covenant you speak of? If the rise of the Sith needs to be stopped again, what happened with them the first time that makes them doing it again so significant?
 * 11) *In the "Emerge from stasis" section, you say, "However, Celeste was not dead but still in stasis inside the apparently impregnable oubliette, where she remained for almost 3,950 years until around 19 BBY." Reword please, as apparently is POVish.
 * 12) *BTS could be expanded alot.
 * 13) *This girl has quotes up the yin-yang on the QOTD, yet only two for the article? Surely you can do better!
 * 14) *Handle these & I'll go through the rest. And don't mind the "surely you can do better" thing, It's just a sweet Dooku line that I thought kinda fit the situation.You've done a splendid job thus far.;) —Tommy ( Clean face and hands ) The Anvil 20:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Not an objection, per se, but is it possible to maybe flush out that BtS a little bit?

 * 12) **** As the person who put that link in when expanding it from a stub, I'd like to point out three things: (1) At the time, we hadn't established that every real-world scientific concept which is almost exactly the same IU as in the real world needed an article, so I put a Wikipedia link in so the concept could be explained to readers who didn't understand the term; (2) I still don't think an article is necessary or even desirable for every such topic, but that's a debate for elsewhere (where most of you would probably disagree with me); (3) although the Gotal/H'nemthe situation clearly is convergent evolution, I don't know if the sources actually use those words. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) *****If these terms are not canonically used, then I think it would be best to avoid them. If so, then an explanation of the real-world equivalent in the BTS would be appropriate, where then the wiki links can be used as an OOU substitute. IU linking to OOU concepts, however, doesn't fit well. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) ****** It's a minor enough detail of terminology that removing the words and the link is OK, as far as I'm concerned. Explaining convergent evolution in the BTS would strike me as a bit superfluous. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 * "The word for 'love' in one language is the word for 'dinner' in others." (Ithorian proverb)
 * "After mating, H'nemthe females gut the males with those tongues of theirs-they're as sharp as sword blades, and a lot stronger than they look. Some kind of biological reaction to there being twenty H'nemthe males for every female. The males seem to think it's worth it, to achieve the act of love. I saw them together in the can-Una, but I didn't think Trevagg was crazy enough to try to bed the girl." (Wuher) "He was always bragging about being such a great hunter. You'd have thought he'd sense it coming." (Balu) "How could he? For her, it was the act of love, too." (Wuher again; possibly only the two last lines for this quote)

Otherwise, pretty good. Additional kudos for the use of 'unbeknownst' in the article! Darth Xadún ( Consult the Holocron ) 11:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) *The opening sentence requires refinement, as 'woman' is a term usually associated with Human females, and we know nothing of where she was from. Suggest 'Mdam Rhoden was a female of an unidentified species and hailed from Yorn Skot', with a link to unidentified species, then go on to describing family ties etc.
 * 2) **Eh, if you can use women for Tuskens, I don't see that this is an issue. Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) ***I think you've misunderstood me. My point was that it is a fairly non-descript way of opening an article. Using your Tusken example, the opening gives the name, alternate terms, and their hailing planet in the first line. This is the basic format for character articles, naming species and homeworld or world of residence. Hence, see my example above.
 * 4) * The intro does not mention the confrontation with Rhoden's husband, the detonation of the bomb or her subsequent death.
 * 5) **Changed to explicitly mention the confrontation, but she didn't die. Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) * Remove the link from 'Lot 44C'. The redlink looks untidy and to give the lot an article in it's own right would be pointless.
 * 7) ** Sure Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) * The following quotes all appear to switch between italics and normal text at unusual places. Granted, this may be from the text, but i can't check that. -
 * 9) **"I've seen enough core bombs in my life to know what I saw. That kind of detonator can only trigger high-yield explosives on a chromium switch, and only core bombs use remotely triggered chromium fuses."
 * 10) **"Can't you see I'm talking to the lovely -- and might I add potentially independently wealthy beyond her wildest dreams -- young lady here?"
 * 11) **" First, I'm going to take your mining station to cover what you owe me." "Then I'm going to take everything else." "And then I'm going to give it all back to her for being so doggone lovely ".
 * 12) **From the text Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) * "At that point, the group of pressure pirates who had been plotting to steal the vessel showed up, and began to board it." Change this sentence please, as 'showed up' is a poor description for an encyclopedia.
 * 14) **Tweaked Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) *I am assuming the second bomb core killed all aboard the Aurorient Express, and no-one escaped? Please confirm this at the end of the article.
 * 16) ** Uh, no, I mentioned everybody was evacuated. Yrfeloran 18:48, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) ***Sorry, misreading on my part.
 * 18) * "Madam Rhoden was attached to her possessions and what she felt were her possession, such as her chaughaine sweater and the Aurorient Express itself." Revise this sentence - it is unencyclopeadic. I recommend breaking it into two, first saying she was attatched to her possessions, and second saying she believed she had ownership oveer things that belonged to her spouses or lovers.
 * 19) **Eh, tweaked.Yrfeloran 01:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
