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 identified with proper era icons.
 * 3) &hellip; be well written, comprehensive and detailed; well written meaning that the prose is engaging and of a professional standard and comprehensive and detailed meaning it does not neglect major facts and plot points.
 * 4) &hellip; have at least one internal link to Star Wars Fanon besides years, eras, and canon elements
 * 5) &hellip; acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject, covering every encyclopedic angle.
 * 6) &hellip; be of an appropriate length, long enough to provide sufficient information, depth and analysis of the subject without including unnecessary information that could be made into a sub-article.
 * 7) &hellip; be clear, using a logical structure written in plan language.
 * 8) &hellip; follow standard writing conventions of modern English, ie correct grammar, punctuation and spelling.
 * 9) &hellip; be written from a neutral standpoint that presents the information fairly and without bias (ie, do not make articles Mary Sues, Gary Stus or character-gushers).

 * 11) &hellip; contain images where appropriate.
 * 12) &hellip; have all images properly captioned.

 * 15) &hellip; have an introduction of at least 200 words that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the subsequent sections.
 * 16) &hellip; have no red links, as they must be filled by stubs or not linked to.
 * 17) &hellip; have a complete and detailed “History” section, including a Post-mortem and a Legacy section for a character that has died.
 * 18) &hellip; have a “Personality and traits” and “Talents” section for a character and “Characteristics” section if it is about a vehicle or technology.
 * 19) &hellip; have a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents
 * 20) &hellip; be stable, meaning that it is not the subject of any edit wars and that the content does not change significantly from day to day, reversions of vandalism and improvements based on suggestions not applying.

Nominations
Remember, only the Decreton Lords will vote below.

Approve

 * 1) Some of the paragraphs could use some expansion, but it's not enough, imo, to prevent this from becoming an FA. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 20:06, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Lacks society & culture section. -- Don Victor, Sr.  [[Image:Coat of arms of Mexico.png|20px]] ( contact ) 05:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Vic. Changing Landscape and Important Areas also require a good deal of expansion or combination. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Vic. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  12:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Same as above. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 20:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Intro is too short. Early life, Clone Wars, Vong War, Post-Vong, Death, Post Mortem (should be spelled postmortem) and Legacy, and Personality all need expansion, especially Death and the Postmortem section. The article also lacks a Talents and abilities sections. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Brandon. Also, I always thought it was spelled "Post-mortem", but according to my spell check, postmortem is correct. I learn something new everyday. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 05:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought that same thing, but then my spell check told me otherwise as well. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:16, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Per the above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 14:03, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Prelude, all the sections of Main Battle and Droid Confederacy need expansion. One thing that might help with the Main Battle section is splitting parts of them into multiple paragraphs and then expanding them a little bit, because as it stands we really can’t have one-paragraph sections on a Featured Article. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:05, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, please expand it in most sections. Needs detail throughout and short sections aren't always good. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 05:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Per the above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 14:24, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) The Republic, Luna-Minor 6, Disbanding of the FireGhosts, Rising through the ranks, Returning to war and Talents should all be expanded. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  08:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per above. The Republic could use a lot of expansion. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 08:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) The bounty hunter, The businessman, Hunting Lymie, Hiding Hunter, As a lord, The Mukhabarat, End of the assassin, Hunting as a lord, The end of the lordship, Death of the hunter and Personality/Traits should be expanded (the last one should also be changed to "Personality and traits"). Also, Postmortem and Legacy should be two separate sections. Finally, you actually went and linked to all of the articles on Wookieepedia rather than using the proper format per the MOS. Please fix all of those links. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  08:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Brandon, a bit of expansion in each section. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 08:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) I see no problems, and I always look objectively. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  08:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Great. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 08:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
