Star Wars Fanon:Good articles/Nominations

Star Wars Fanon's Good articles The good articles of the wiki are articles that represent the norm of Star Wars Fanon. Articles that no longer meet the criteria can be proposed for improvement or removal at Star Wars Fanon:High Priests.

What makes a good article or what article should you nominate to be good? 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 identified with proper era icons.
 * 2) &hellip; be well written, comprehensive and detailed; however, not to the extent of the requirement for a Featured Article.
 * 3) To be well written, the article must have a prose that is engaging and of a professional standard.
 * 4) To be detailed, an article must be written in an encyclopedic format with no point of view in the detail, though that detail is not excess nor irrelevant; instead, the detail must also contact all relevant major facts and plot points.
 * 5) The article must acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject and cover every encyclopedic angle.
 * 6) The article does not need to have a finished storyline.
 * 7) The article must be clear, using a logical structure written in plain language.
 * 8) The article must follow standard writing conventions of modern English (ie, correct grammar, punctuation and spelling).
 * 9) All grammar and spelling must be one hundred percent accurate. The High Priests and voting members of the community will inspect all of it to make proper edits.
 * 10) &hellip; have an introduction of at least one-hundred and fifty (150) words that summarizes the entire topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the following sections.
 * 11) &hellip; follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, categorization policy, as well as all other policies.
 * 12) &hellip; contain enough images where appropriate, but the page is not cluttered or overstocked.
 * 13) &hellip; ensure that all images in said article follow the standards of sourcing in the Image policy.
 * 14) &hellip; not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination.
 * 15) &hellip; have absolutely no red links, as they must be filled with at least stubs or not be linked to at all.
 * 16) &hellip; have no links in section titles.
 * 17) &hellip; have a brief "Personality and traits" section that generalizes the character's said personality
 * 18) &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.

How to nominate:
 * 1) First, nominate an article you find to be worthy of Good Article status by putting it at the bottom of the list below. Add GAnom to any nominated article. Please nominate in this format:
 * ===Article name ===
 * ====Support====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Neutral/comments====
 * 1) Others will object to the nomination if they do not believe 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).
 * 2) Supporters will adjust the article until the objectors are satisfied
 * 3) The GAnom banner should be placed at the top of all nominated articles.

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 and keep a sharp eye out for mistakes
 * 3) Afterward, either support or object the article’s nomination
 * 4) If you object the nomination, you must supply concrete reasons for doing so, as well as your suggestions as to how the article can be improved. If you do not provide a valid opposition, your vote will be removed.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters and anyone willing to improve the article. Action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 6) Once an article has a total of four votes from the High Priests and seven votes from non-High Priests, it will be considered a Good Article. Articles will remain on the nominations track until they receive the required amount of votes or until the author pulls the nomination.

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

High Priests, please be sure to place HP before each of your votes, to identify all High Priest votes.

A small blue check in the top right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is a good article.

 * 8) Per Tom.  Wing   msg 21:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) I support this as a GA, it's inventive and the story as a whole is interesting, I will say prior to pushing it for FA I'd like to see what TOM pointed out the headers are slightly confusing the way they are right now... and I know that my GA had to have some Header cleaning before it was accepted.  Other than that, inventive, original, an all around good piece gratz  N.Y.N.E. Comlink[[Image:sithempire2.png|30px]] 04:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) The spell check comes up clean, but I'd like to see the headers sorted out, as I mentioned to you on your talk page. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:45, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *I don't really know what you mean by sorting out the headers, unless if you mean having sections combined. The formating is done correctly.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **I mean having the sections that are the ones that are meant to be large sections, with smaller ones inside to have only two == signs on either side, so that they're headers, for example, the section 'Peace Keepers'. By making it a header, a gray line appears beneath it, and this shows it's a header. Otherwise, it just looks like all of the other sections, and you can't tell the difference. To do this, just type ==Peace Keepers== and it'll be sorted out. If what you told me was true, then they need to be a header. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 08:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) ***The smaller sections have one more = than the larger. Clone Wars has three ='s and Battle of Geonosis has four ='s.  If subheaders have three ='s, I meant them as having four.  Two ='s are used for Biography, personality and traits, etc.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Yes they are used in those sections, but they're also used as headers! Look at the toolbar at the edit window up top, and click the button labelled 'headers'. How many == signs pop up? Two. Look at FA's such as (I'll get back in a sec to insert a name) and they have done this! [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 14:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *****I looked at some featured articles, and they do the headers the same way as in Burt Drewton. For example, in Nathaniel Kenobi Solo, it is:

Extragalactic Species and No Force-Sensitivity Don't Mix
And in Burt Drewton: ==Biography==

Terrorists on Mithus

 * Fair enough. It would seem that it's a matter of opinion. I believe it works then. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 19:25, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Will you support it then? It's also the way it's done for all of the Wookieepedia articles I've seen.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 21:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

 * The name 'Burt' isn't the best, I only used it because originally The Drewton Legacy was meant as a prequel to another series, though I might change it soon. The beginning seems short, but it's all the information available for those parts, and I don't like adding information exclusively for articles (that wasn't in any chpaters).  The later sections use much more information about Burt, specifically Appointment with Palpatine, Delta Station, and Captured by the Nockudumey.  Anyone is free to add any information from the available chapters (listed in Appearances).  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:57, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I forgot to add that everything in the article is sourced as sources are done on Wookieepedia. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I will read it soon.--  Arav the Undersith ( Talk Page ). 23:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Personally, I'd like to see it expanded a bit more. I'm a fan of long sections.
 * Indeed, but this is only GA standards remember. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 17:00, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * True. That's why I'm not voting against it. However, I'd like to give him a chance to expand it before I give this article a yes vote.
 * As I said above, there isn't a lot of material to use for the beginning, but I'll try to make it more detailed today. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

The beginning has been expanded. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:32, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Hopefully the first GA of Project Cruentus. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 19:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) By far the most extensive and well-made Cruentus battle so far. Unit 8311 19:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) It qualifies.
 * 4) How can I not? --Arav (talk ) 06:23, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm not going to lie. I really never expected this project of yours to produce an impressive battle article, but in spite of that quote near the end, I was wrong this time. -MPK 19:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *Well thanks! We try our best! [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) I gotta agree with MPK, I really didn't expect to see much from this community project. I am plesantly surprised. Just a note though: You should edit out (Cruentusian War) from the bolded title within the article - it isn't needed. It's already stated to be in the Cruentusian War in the main title, and again right in the begining of the article. Right now, it reads "The Battle of Cul-Huq (Cruentusian War) was a major battle of the Cruentusian War [...]", it should read "The Battle of Cul-Huq was a major battle of the Cruentusian War [...]". I checked for other things, like spelling errors and such, but it looks pretty clean. Good work! --[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|35px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 20:45, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) I thought this project was going to go nowhere fast. I'm impressed. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 19:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Good work. -- Knowledge the Article Writer talk 15:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) Excellent, and definitely worthy of GA status. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Like the above have stated, I didn't see this project going very far. Thanks for making this doubter a believer. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 13:55, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

 * How about, uh, no? - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 22:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I seriously thought this project was gonna go down the drain, guess I was wrong. Good job.  Wing   msg 21:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) There's a few things, which makes me believe that the two HP candidates who have voted so far really haven't actually done a review of the article but rather looked at it in terms of length and general appearance. However, I could be wrong, but nonetheless here are the problems (grammatically, as I have not read the article for content yet):
 * 2) * In Initial moves: "The Necasian SpecOps team slipped by the Srav blockade in a stealthed SkyBull-class transport". "Stealthed" is not a word. It needs to be changed to "stealth".
 * 3) * In Initial moves: "...with the Zayre also playing a large part in the aerial defence". Remember to use English (U.S.) when running spell check. Using that, it will come up to say that it's spelled "defense".
 * 4) * In Initial moves: "...although they were suprised by heavy Srav flak and missiles". "Suprised" needs to be changed to "surprised".
 * 5) * In The ground battle: "...the Necasian task force immediately came under attack from Drapeznik hovercopter gunships, who had, thanks to Invado, become aware of their position". "Who had" needs to be changed to "which had", as it's refer to objects rather than people.
 * 6) * In The ground battle: "In response, the Srav commander called in a Yukel airstrike...". "Airstrike" needs to be changed to "air strike".
 * 7) * In The Holocaust: "...whilst the Necasian fleet, in disarray, were powerless to stop them". "Were" needs to be changed to "was", as it's referring to only one fleet.
 * 8) * In Aftermath: "...with Invado claiming that Redharn was wanting the Necasians to fail...". "Was wanting" reads very awkwardly. It should be changed to "wanted".
 * 9) *That's basically it. Just in terms of personal opinion, though, I think the quote that says "In Srav Federation, nukes destroy YOU" is pretty bad, because nukes destroy you everywhere. It doesn't make sense nor is it funny where something like "In Soviet Russia, cursor highlights YOU" is. Again, though, that's just an opinion and not really grounds for opposition. I figured I'd just say it anyway. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 19:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) **Sorted that. And I know the quote's a bit silly, but I just couldn't resist a 'Soviet Russia' joke somewhere. If it's so terrible that it's detrimental to the article's quality, I'll change it...to a different Soviet Russia joke. Unit 8311 20:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) I did all editing to make it qualified for the "good article" thing.-Endor chicken

 * 1) It needs the Ga nom thing on the article first. Second I am with Obi. Untill you have fixed the article up, this vote will be an oppose. Nice job Obi! [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] <font color="Green">Arav (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 06:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) It's really not a bad article. However, there are quite a few technical errors (ie grammar, spelling, and tense.) After that's fixed, I'll suppor this.

Neutral/comments
Under Biology and appearance: Under Skills and talents:
 * "The Gloaranian’s coat was made up of long guard hairs that repelled moisture, and a wooly under fur which provided some insulation." Wooly to woolly.
 * "A Gloaranian’s mane increases in size, helping it look more imposing, and also protected the head and neck during fights." The sentence is a run-on, and/or is hard to understand. Needs to be fixed.
 * "The Gloaranians; with their long legs, enormous paws, and great stamina, enabled it to cover distances of 32km/h (20mph) or 38 to 64km/h (24 to 40mph), to more at an energy-efficient 10km/h (6.2mph) trot." The semi colon needs to be changed to a comma. Another broken sentence as well.
 * "This way, the nose is protected down to -60*F (-51*C)." Tense.
 * "In summer, when their tails become more slender do to the shedding season, they would use them for keeping away Vampire flies." "Do" to "Due".
 * "The thumb was even opposable, do to it being able to touch all the other digits." Same.
 * "However, because of their isolation, they did not measure time or by the galactic calendar, but by their instincts." Remove "or".
 * "...a 12-16-month old cub or pup would be considered a kid..." Remove the dash between 16 and month.
 * " All the other bones; which included the neck, clavicle, shoulders, sternum, ribs, chest shape, spine, pectorals..." ";" to ",".
 * "Their scenes were also well developed." Scenes to senses.
 * "And when prey was far away, usually before fallowing xyroid migrations, they could use their highly sensitive ears to search for “humming” Kio berries, a fruit often eaten by Gloaranians when meat food was scarce." It's a broken sentence, and fallowing should be following.
 * "But not being able to see color helped the females a great deal, usually helping it find its way through snow or finding and fallowing prey." Same.
 * "The Gloaranians sense of smell was about a hundred times better then that of a Human’s..." Apostrophe needed.
 * "Another ability the females possessed was by using their anal scent glands at the ends of their long brushy tails for a variety of reasons." by.
 * "But when danger was near, the females would use this anal gland as a weapon; by squirting a foul-smelling liquid from 12 feet right at the danger’s eyes." Broken sentence, ";" to "," after "weapon". You may want to change "the danger's eyes" to "the threat's eyes" as well.
 * "Sharo was proven to be one of the most force-sensitive members of the species, discovering lots of various force powers that were not yet discovered since that time. " Change "lots" to "a number of", and "were not yet" to "had not been". Remove "since that time".
 * "...only to the extant of her species, a Varanian, and a few similar animal species. No other Gloaranian in history was known to have this ability." "Extant" to "extent", and "was known to have" to "was known to have possessed" or "was known to possess."

If the above objections are solved, I will read the rest of the article. Good job, though, Endor chicken. -- Joe Butler (Obi Maul12)  (Chow) 04:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
