Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/instructions

This subpage contains instructions on how to archive past Good article nominations and reviews. The archived votes can be found here and here. The AgriCorps uses the functions of JocastaBot to archive nominations in Wookieepedia's Discord server's #status-article-commands channel.

Successful nominations[]

Once an article has either four supporting votes from AgriCorps or Inquisitorius members—three of which must be an AgriCorps vote—OR five total supporting votes, including at least three votes coming from AgriCorps or Inquisitorius members—two of which must be an AgriCorps vote—and no outstanding objections after at least two days, the article can be officially known as a "good article." This table can be used to determine if an article is eligible to be removed from the Good article nominations page

Time elapsed	Day 1 24 hours	Day 2 48 hours	More than two days More than 48 hours
Required votes	Cannot pass		Can pass with at least four AgriCorps/Inq votes (three of which must be AC votes) OR at least five votes, of which three must be AgriCorps/Inq votes. (two of which must be AC votes)

Ensure that the AgriCorps approval template has been added. If not, add the following to the Comments section:

{{ACapproved|~~~~~}}

Run the command (in #status-article-commands):

@JocastaBot successful GAN: NominationName

Add article to Wookieepedia:Good articles (specifically the Canon, Legends, or Out-of-universe subpages as appropriate).
- When adding article to Wookieepedia:Good articles, display it like [[Bob (naval officer)]] or [[Victorious (Acclamator-class)|''Victorious'' (''Acclamator''-class)]], as opposed to [[Bob (naval officer)|Bob]] or [[Victorious (Acclamator-class)|''Victorious'']].

Failed nominations[]

Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections after ten days may be removed from the nomination list with a consensus of at least 3 AC support votes. Good article nominations may also be closed prematurely with a consensus of at least 3 AC support votes if they fall below the required standard and cannot realistically be fixed.

Any nomination may be closed early at the request of the original nominator without the need for a consensus. Additionally, nominations in violation of rules 9 and 10 of the "How to nominate" section of the Good article nominations page should be immediately removed without need for consensus or archiving.

Voting to remove[]

To initiate a vote to remove a nomination, add the following under the Good article nomination's comments section:

===Vote to remove nomination (AC only)===

The AgriCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly why the nomination should be removed. All AgriCorps members should use the {{AC}} template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose removing the nomination.

Removing nominations[]

AgriCorps members can run the command (in #status-article-commands):

@JocastaBot unsuccessful GAN: NominationName

Nominators withdrawing their own nomination can run the command (in #status-article-commands):

@JocastaBot withdrawn GAN: NominationName

Overriding Good article nomination objections[]

AgriCorps members have the power to strike objections on the Good article nomination page provided the objection has been addressed and the original objector has been absent for at least ten days after an "objection addressed" comment is left on the Good article nomination page. This requires a quorum of at least 3 AgriCorps members approving the removal of the objection, and less than 2 opposed. Additionally, Good article nomination objections can be struck by an AgriCorps member if they do not fall under one of the rules. No vote is required.

To initiate a vote to override an objection, add the following under the Good article nomination's comments section:

====Vote to strike objection (AC only)====

The AgriCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly which objection needs striking and why. All AgriCorps members should use the {{AC}} template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose overriding the objection.

When the decision has been taken to override an objection, add the following as a comment under the objection, in addition to striking it:

{{ACstrike|~~~~~}}

Good article status review[]

The AgriCorps has the ability to strip an article of Good article status. An overview of the process can be found here.

Tagging an article for review[]

Any user can nominate an article for Good article status review if the article needs improvement. The two ways this can be done are:
- Adding {{GAreview}} to the top of the article, then creating and filling out the resulting subpage.
- Run the below command (in #status-article-commands), then create and fill out the resulting subpage:
  - ```
  @JocastaBot create review for NominationName
```

Review process[]

An article can retain its status when:
- There are no outstanding objections left on the review page.
- The review has been open for at least 48 hours.
- Three AgriCorps members have voted to retain the article's status.
An article under review can be sent to probation if:
- Outstanding objections on the review page have not been addressed for over thirty days, without an extension request from any editor.
- Major changes have been made to the article since its original status nomination.
An article can have its status revoked if:
- The article has been on probation for over a month, with objections still unaddressed.
- Three AgriCorps members have voted to remove the article's status.

An article can have its status instantly revoked if:
- The article violates Good article word count rules and cannot realistically be brought into compliance with the expectations of said rules.
- A request is made to remove the article's status so that a nominator can update the page and re-nominate it for status at a later date.
- Three AgriCorps members have voted to remove the article's status.

Review commands[]

If a Good article is kept:

Run the command:

@JocastaBot mark review for NominationName as passed

If a Good article is sent to probation:

Run the command:

@JocastaBot mark review for NominationName as on probation

If a Good article is removed:
- Run the command:
```
@JocastaBot revoke status for NominationName
```
- Remove the article from the appropriate subpage of Wookieepedia:Good articles.

Manual archiving instructions[]
