Forum:SWF:Mary Sue

It has come to the attention of several members of the Cabal that there have been many articles in the past which have been put up for GA, and even FA status, which almost all would consider to be a stereotypical Mary Sue character/organization.

So, simply put, this policy being proposed would set out a series of "rules" so to speak, for all articles going up for GA and FA nomination with regards to Mary Sue syndrome.

Articles going up for GA or FA status:


 * 1) &hellip; must be written from a neutral standpoint that presents the information fairly and without bias.
 * 2) &hellip; must present both the positive and negative sides of the character/organizations etc. in question.
 * 3) &hellip; must indicate an IU source for the character's powers. For example, if the character is considered by many IU contemporaries to be powerful or well skilled in the Force ect., then an IU explantion should be created (e.g. Power syndrome).
 * 4) &hellip; must contain a detailed description in "Personality and traits" (or equal section for other subject) of the characters weaknesses. For example, as quoted from "Darth Abeonis" – "Jasca’s fear of being betrayed was arguably, his greatest weakness, leading him to take painstaking detours in many of his life’s decisions to assure his friends loyalties. In many cases, these detours were unnecessary. Because of his fear of losing his friends, he often kept to himself, focusing more and more on his training. During this, however, he grew especially close to Luke Skywalker, considering him a man worthy of his utmost respect. But his childhood trait of nonchalantly walking through life often dictated his actions, to devastating affect, often leading him to needless risk his life; but his continued survival only served to increase his confidence in his own being."

Only once these core requirements have been met can the article be considered for FA status.

As always, this policy is open to fixing and scrutiny, which is welcome. Please discuss below. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 01:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
