Nomination:


 * 1) First, all Good articles will be added to the nominations automatically.

Voting:


 * 1) Second, the Decreton Lords, and they alone, will vote on each good article. They will review by adding comments, critique, and feedback on the articles up for nomination.

After the win:

 * 1) Very well done and is definitely FA material. -- Victor  ( talk ) 20:28, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Well-written and believable. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 01:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Awesome article - I liked it. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:16, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Although the idea is different, I like the way the canon tiny appearance was turned into a massive fanon story. This is about as good as an article on such a topic can get. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Believable? I'm guessing you're reffering to Darth Tyler? --Darthtyler (talk) (HSM RKY)[[Image:TylerLogo.jpg|20px]] 04:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I was saying that it could actually have happened. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 16:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) I just can't see it being an FA. The article sections are only one paragraph long, in fact, the longest section is the description. It also fails rule 11. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Requires expansion as it's rather short. Normally that wouldn't matter to me, but in this case it's due to a significant lack of detail. Not FA quality yet. - Brandon Rhea 05:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Jasca and Rhea. Read the article, and expansion is needed.--  CurrentBigThing  ( Say It To My Face ) 12:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Does not comply with rules 2,8,9,11. Lacks detail, the introduction is significantly less than 200 words (which, as Vic believes, it should be) and has a very noticeable and important red link. Personality, traits and characteristics could also be expanded. Not yet FA quality. - Brandon Rhea 05:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Rhea. -- Victor  ( talk ) 05:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Vic. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 11:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Not really an FA, though it is a clever idea. Such an important topic could have so much more. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) I believe NKSCF will find this as featured article material.

 * What Vic said, along with Post-mortem. - Brandon Rhea 02:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed the above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 18:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) I believe Brandon Rhea will find this as featured article material.

Disapprove/complaints

 * Behind the Scenes to scenes. -- Victor  ( talk ) 05:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed Dexington 14:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Needs to fix the line "The leader at that time, Filose Naj III was killed aboard the Death Star fighting Lord Vader, giving the Rebels the time escape. " Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 16:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw one thing wrong with that sentence, so I added in a comma. Dexington 03:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it needs to be "&hellip;time to escape&hellip;" Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 10:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, my bad lol. It is fixed. Dexington 15:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) No complaints except for those two redlinks in the middle. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 20:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) As above. - Brandon Rhea 20:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * I honestly believe the history could be expanded and broken into more than one paragraph, and that the description/design could also be expanded. Perhaps also break the intro into two paragraphs (no expansion needed on that though). -- Victor  ( talk ) 05:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Per Vic. - Brandon Rhea 04:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that I'm back from my wikibreak, I should be able to comply to the demands. I'll let you know when I'm done. D arth  P  hobia  21:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I expanded the history, broke it up, and intro is two paragraphs. I added a sentence or two to the design as well. It had two redlinks, but they should be fixed tommorrow. So, whadya think ? D arth  P  hobia  01:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) Fixed all of the complaints. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 15:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I think Brandon Rhea will find this as FA material.

Disapprove/complaints

 * Very good, but a red link right at the beginning (in the infobox). -- Victor  ( talk ) 06:48, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Replaced redlink with a note that states that the last battle was a couple of minor skirmishes. I think Jasca and I could work together to get that previous redlink to become an article if it comes down to that.

 * 4) Brandon Rhea 04:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) -- Victor  ( talk ) 07:02, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Even without his name in the link, someone would figure out real quick that Solus made this. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 18:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Brandon Rhea 04:47, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Nowhere near enough links IMO. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 16:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Rule 3 states that the article "…be well written and detailed, with at least one link to an article on Star Wars Fanon. "I link to Andromeda and the birth and death dates. - Solus  (Bird of Prey)  00:46, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Solus, I wrote the rules. And afaic, there are not enough. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Despite how far you are concerned and the fact that you wrote them, you wrote them as saying it needs at least one link. If you feel at least one is not enough, I would suggest that you propose an amendment to that. - Brandon Rhea 20:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know I did. I'm not denying it. But i'm not chaning my opposition until more links are added. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 18:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ridiculous, but whatever. - Brandon Rhea 04:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say it's ridiculous actually. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 20:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Then tell me what rule it breaks. If it breaks your rules, and not the ones stated above, then all of these articles are subjective to how the DL interprets the rules according to his own standard; i.e., an article could not make FA because a DL didn't like the species of the main person, or the planet involved. If the rules are subjective, why should I bother with FAs at all? If you want more links, you'll have to get an amendment passed first. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  03:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Jasca, it's rediculous based upon what Solus just said. If DL votes are going to be subjective and the rules aren't going to mean anything to DLs then why bother having rules? We can just do it based solely on opinion. - Brandon Rhea 14:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not changing my mind until it's done. But if you want me to find something wrong with it. There are multiple things that could be linked in the first sentance alone. Plus, it's not categorised correctly. It doesn't have the tag anywhere. A legacy and post-mortem are different, and the sections should be split.  For such a long article, the "personality and traits" and "talents and abilities" should be expanded. There. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:48, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll take these one by one, it's more orderly that way. 1) Your first complaint. Highlight the word "could" then add the word "lazy bum who does not feel the need to add any more links" to the equation. 2) I fail to understand why it is not categorized correctly. If you mean that the categories are not alphabetized, that has just been remedied. 3) They may be different, but I fail to see how it would make sense broken up. To move chronologically, the part that happens thousands of years after he died (Post-Mortem, since it still deals with Tulak) would come second, and the part about his son first (Legacy, as it deals with his posterity). However, that would put the Legacy before the Post-mortem, which is not very organized. If Post-mortem is put first in an article, however, that would throw it off chronologically. You read about thousands of years beforehand and then you press that "back track" button a few times and jump back into Kent. That's just plain messy. 4) The rules state that I just need to have a Personality and Traits section, and say nothing about a Talents/Abilities section. They are there, and length is somewhat subjective. 5) Your 'There.' statement. I am to conclude from this that your rant above was just to prove a point, and you wouldn't be so nitpicky normally, and you are just being that way (I will refrain from using the words 'throwing a tantrum') to get back at me/get your own way. While personally, I feel is is low to treat me as a special case for that reason, I also don't have to address your complaints. On the DL page it says that 5/7 DLs just have to put their vote to the 'Support,' i.e., you'll have to bring three other people to your thinking before you'll get anywhere with this private war. 6) The not-so-subtle changing of the rules. The edit description says 'Per an agreement between me and Jack.' What makes you and Jack the majority - the final authority? If you please, would you provide me a link to the public discussion at which the decision was reached to change the rule above. If you cannot, I must say the DLs have a lot of power to go changing the rules on a whim. As well, 'sizable' is somewhat subjective, and now that the rules have been changed from 'at least one link' to 'sizable,' which I interpret as lots, of links, you're going to have a lot of reading on your hands as you go through the past FAs to see if they line up with the change. You'd better get working on it. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  21:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * One, I just changed rule 3 back to "at least one link...". Jasca, you and Jack do not constitute consensus amongst the DLs. Therefore, your ammendment to that rule is void until you have at least two other people agreeing to it. Don't bother asking me - you know my answer. Second, Post-Mortem and Legacy are essentially the same thing. Legacy is about how you are remembered after you have died and such and things that live on about you, etc. Post-Mortem is about things that happened after you died, and how you are remembered and things that live on about you fall under the category of 'things that happened'. - Brandon Rhea 23:48, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Expand Creation, In the service of the Empire, New Republic activities, Further Conflict and Legacy. I also think the quote on top is rather bad (I'm going to kick your sorry ass!), but that has nothing really to do with an opposition vote. - Brandon Rhea 04:52, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per the above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 22:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. Is it worthy now? And I am NOT changing the main quote. Unit 8311 14:57, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I never told you to change the main quote. I just said I think it's a bad quote. - Brandon Rhea 23:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
