Star Wars Fanon:Featured articles/Nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best the Star Wars Fanon Wiki has to offer.

What makes a featured article or what article should you nominate to feature? To answer that, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.

An article must&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;be a good article.
 * 2) &hellip;be well written and detailed, with at least one link to an article on Star Wars Fanon.
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;all images must be captioned.
 * 5) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances (if articles that involve said article subject are on this wiki).
 * 6) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination
 * 8) &hellip;have a sufficiently detailed lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 9) &hellip;have a minimal amount of red links; use common sense (no more then ten)
 * 10) &hellip;have a complete, detailed "History" section, and a "Post mortem" section if the article is about a character that has died.
 * 11) &hellip;have a "Charateristics" section if it is about a vehicle, class of vehicle etc.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see What is a featured article?.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. You first must meet nomination requirements to nominate any article.
 * 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.

How to vote:


 * 1) Remember, you can only vote if you meet the requirements of the voting policy.
 * 2) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 3) Voters can check the articles' Decreton Lords review for any additional information on the article.
 * 4) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 5) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. If you do not provide a valid reason for your opposition, such votes will be removed.
 * 6) 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.

How an article wins:
 * 1) For an article to gain the title of a "featured article", it first must pass Decreton Lord review, by having the majority of the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status.
 * 2) Once the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status being up to standards, then the article can win the title of featured article, if it gains enough support.
 * 3) For an article to finally gain that status of a featured article, it must have at least 2 more total votes than any other article. Any article that the leading article ties with or is behind by only 1 vote, will also be added to the queue of upcoming featured articles.
 * 4) Henceforth, the article will be known as a "featured article" and will be added to the list of all other featured articles.

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

In addition, put the number sign, #, next to your name so the votes can be counted. Please sign your posts as well!!

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.

Current Standings
These standings are determined by who has the most votes. This may, however, not be the way the winner is determined. Also, oppositions will lower the amount of votes you have, as long as they're for a good reason. Neutral does nothing.


 * 1) Union of Succat Socialist Republics,Jack Nebulax(5)
 * 2) Swerto Dragonouve (4)
 * 3) Steel Legion (3)
 * 4) New Confederacy of Independent Systems (-2)
 * 5) Hasti Zaadvala (-3)

Oppose

 * 1) Same reasons as last week.
 * 2) In desperate need of a spell check, and overall just not FA material IMO. Comapring it to the other organisations/gorvernemnts that have becomes FA's, this falls very short. Also, despite your promises, it still lacks numerous sections, such as economy and a number of others. And on top of all that, some of it is just plain stupid. A lowly aide constructs a Death Star, that's twice the size of the original...IN SECRET! Yeah, it's gonna be pretty easy to hide that. And you didn't even explain how they got plans for it or anything. In fact, it's not even mentioned again in the entire article (not that there's much of that anyway). You've just left out the largest superweapon ever, which could probably have greatly expanded the article. And a few other bits and pieces pop up. The War section should come under History for example, and it says their founding document was the Article of Seccesion. What are they secceding from? The Trade federation, CIS and the CIS Remnant are all gone! And to top it all off, they re-organise and fragment before they're even established.
 * 3) Per Pahvulti, and its not nearly expanded enough. SV undefined
 * 4) Per above. You also need to expand the intro paragraph. - Brandon Rhea 20:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I still dont understand why it is not up to your standers as FA ?TroybTalk contribs[[Image:Troyb.jpg|20px]] 13:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * While I do not agree with the "just plain stupid part", which in itself was a rather rude way of putting things, Pahvulti basically summed it up. - Brandon Rhea 20:41, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I liked it. General Grham  (Talk to me.) [[Image:Yoda.jpg|25px]] 23:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's ALMOST FA-quality, just a little bit more and you'll make it, Troyb! And you shouldn't judge articles just because they are "silly", you have you right to your imagination.

 * Yes, let's please not. Reasons are reasons, and valid ones, therefore it's up to the user to improve the article. SV undefined
 * Tell me when you've fixed the errors and I'll re read it and think of changing to support if you meet standards. Keep it up you are almost there!!![[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto

 * 3) It's good ideas and such, but simply not written good enough. And can't say I really like the pictures. Kaxs
 * 4) Agreed with all of the above. - Brandon Rhea 20:39, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Expand it and make it so you have less headlines. You can definately combine a few of them together and make the article look more professional. I say go into more detail and expand on the story. If you need help doing that I'm here. Also if you have any more pictures put them in there (probably alternating left/right) and even them out with about a paragraph or two in between. Also once this gets longer let me know and I'll reread it and cast a vote. Right now I don't think you need any more negs but you definately need positive voting. Let me know and I'll help you out on this Tyler. Thanks for your help too by the way. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto 16:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Ok here are some erros that need to be fixed ASAP. Lenghten the introduction, only bold the FIRST time you say the name of the government, go into some more detail, the paragraphs could be longer and you could also add a few under each heading. Once you do these changes get ahold of me and I'll check for any other errors, if I find few or none I will definately support. You can do it, keep it up! [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto

 * 1) Best one now in nominees so I hope it wins. I did it last week and it had four positive I thought that was enough to put it into the "upcoming FA" category but it wasn't so I'll renominate it. Its been FA before so I think its FA quality, read it, love it, support it... or don't your choice. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto

 * 1) It's a well written article but there are far too many redlinks, just not enough pictures for an article of that length and the intro is FAR too short. There's also a place in there where a quote is awkwardly placed in the middle of a paragraph. So, really, I'm opposing this only for a few technical things that could easily be fixed. There's nothing wrong with the quality of writing because, as I said, it's a well written article. - Brandon Rhea 02:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Per Rhea. Will do a DL review later, but I will state exact reasons why there.
 * 1) The main thing is that there are simply too many redlinks. Fix that and I will more then likely vote in favor of the article.

Nomination suggested by CurrentBigThing. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 00:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna stay neutral, actually. There's too many redlinks, but the overall story is great.&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 05:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm currently working on the redlinks, but as for the pictures, they make take a while. Brandon, would you change your vote if the redlinks were made into actual articles, even if there weren't more pictures? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd rather wait until your article is done, aka. you've added more pictures after the Conflict with UN-8311 section. Now that I think about it, you'll also want to add a personality section. - Brandon Rhea 18:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I liked the story but it still is a little contradictory to cannon for my tastes, but this is SWFannon isn't it? [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * Out of curiosity, why do you think it contradicts canon a little bit? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 19:21, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You destroyed a rebel fleet after endor, most of the rebel fleet was at endor to help protect from a retalitory strike from the Empire. There are other things but you didn't go way over the top, if anything it could happen, but unlikely... I honestly don't think my character would ever run into yours though [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto 14:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) It could do with a more detailed intro, more detail in many of the sections (speciffically the Formation section), could use additional categories such as Behind the Scenes, See Also and Appearances (if applicable) and it also needs an era icon. I would also reccomend adding more pictures into it, as well as changing the ordering of the pictures (I mean like put on on the left, then right, then left, then right, etc.). - Brandon Rhea 23:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I really like the quality of this article, and I will support it once a nice, long introduction is written. SV undefined
 * Vote for your own article, I'll read it at lunch and take a side on positive negative vote for it. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto 14:57, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Here are some quick errors you can fix. Bold the name of your organization in the introduction (Steel Legion). Also size down some of the larger pictures (150px will do) and add a few more if you can. If you cannot you can nominate it for a picture drive and I'm sure I can get some pics from EAW or FoC to put in there for you. Hurry up and change those and let me know I'll definately vote yes.

 * He [the creator] can't vote yet, per the Star Wars Fanon:Voting policy. Also please update the standings each time you vote. SV undefined
 * Added detail to some of the sections, added era icons and a see also section. I'll upload images soon. Unit 8311 07:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
