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) To be a Good Article on Star Wars Fanon, a nomination must have at least eleven votes, of which at least four must be contributed by High Priests. Articles will remain on the nominations track until they receive the required amount of votes or until the author pulls the nomination, but they need to be on the nominations track for at least one week even if they receive the required number of votes before then.

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.

 * 1) I did all editing to make it qualified for the "good article" thing.-Endor chicken
 * 2) *I fixed all the mistakes. But what’s wrong with the animals they’re based off of. And for lions and bison, off curse they do exist in that galaxy. If it “far, far way”, why are there Humans, dogs, cats, horses, ducks, rabbits, chickens and all those other creatures there? Sorry to disappoint you.-Endor chicken
 * 3) **Uh, when the hell have you ever heard a bison mentioned in Star Wars? Does this link take you anywhere: ? Heh, no. Deal with it. Secondly, I don't mind them being based upon it, but, in my opinion, this is a crossover. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 16:47, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) *To be fair, a crossover from what? "Real life" is not a genre. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 17:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ***Fair point... well, there's still the other matters, and my opinion that 'Bison' should be kicked out, and that it's plaguerism. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 19:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[[Image:Colonel_Raibat2.jpg|thumb|right|120px]]
 * You can't plagiarize real life, Tom. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 17:27, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not talking 'bout that. I mentioned it was a bit too similar to Shapeshifters in my opinion. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 05:51, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Not meaning to kick in to this, but this is SW Fanon, and he can have bison if he wants. After all, there are several species in Star Wars which also exist on Earth.&mdash; Darthtyler http://images.wikia.com/swfanon/images/1/18/Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 23:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) It needs the Ga nom thing on the article first. Second I am with Obi. Until you have fixed the article up, this vote will be an oppose. Nice job Obi! [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav (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.) Obi and tom have already listed the various mistakes throughout the article. Therefore, I don't see the need for me to repeat them. After they're fixed, I'll suppor this.
 * 3) These are my quibbles:
 * 4) *In the introduction: ‘Slavory’ should be ‘slavery’.
 * 5) *In ‘Biology and appearance’: ‘apperances’ should be ‘appearances’
 * 6) *In ‘Males’: ‘normaly’ should be ‘normally’.
 * 7) *In ‘Society and Culture’: You say: ‘If a Lone Gloaranian’, when it should be ‘If a lone Gloaranian’.
 * 8) *Same section: ‘homeworld’ should be ‘homeworld’.
 * 9) *I see the name ‘bison’ mentioned. Do these exist in Star Wars? Heh, no.
 * 10) * ‘Skills and talents’: ‘fallowing’ should be ‘following’.
 * 11) *In the section ‘Males’: ‘It seems likely that the function of stripes was camouflage, serving to hide them from their prey’ Per the MOS, this should be past tense, so ‘It seemed likely’.
 * 12) *Do lions exist in Star Wars?
 * 13) *Same section: ‘normaly’ should be ‘normally’.
 * 14) *To me, it seems to be a bit of fanon stealing; ‘Yawo’ sounds too much like Brandons ‘Yahweh’, and they resemble Solus’ shapeshifters very much.
 * 15) **To comment on that, Tom, Brandon did not come up with "Yahweh." --Victor (talk) 04:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) *In the ‘History’ section, that quote is appalling; no one speaks like that. You don’t have to mess up every word. And referring to a Wolf as ‘hot look’n’ is just…
 * 17) *To me, it seems to be a combination of fanon stealing, and of a crossover of wolves. This will need work.
 * 18) *Expand the history section. Far too small; it’s just a brief skim-over at the moment.
 * 19) *The history section should also be made more interesting, as the current one bores me.
 * 20) **--[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 20:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 21) Per above. Really isn't a bad article, although I agree with Tom's arguments regarding the fanon similarities regarding the Shapeshifters.  Wing   msg 16:36, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

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."
 * "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)
 * I'll review it tonight. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 06:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) I really like this article. There are some grammer mistakes. When they are fixed I will vote to support. Nice job Wing! [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav  (talk ) 05:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Your article's pretty good, thought it does have some problems that need to be fixed. So here's my review:
 * Intro
 * 1) *In the second paragraph, "Thermobraic" should be spelled "Thermobaric".
 * Maiden Voyage
 * 1) *"Maiden Voyage" should be spelled "Maiden voyage" unless it's an actual event.
 * 2) *Twice in the first paragraph, once in the image, and once in the last paragraph, you spelled "Thermobraic" incorrectly. It should be spelled "Thermobaric".
 * Search for Loque
 * 1) *Once in the fourth paragraph, you spelled "Thermobraic" incorrectly. It should be spelled as "Thermobaric".
 * Personality and traits
 * 1) *In the second paragraph, "Thermobraic" should be spelled "Thermobaric".
 * 2) *For the most part, it was just the word thermobaric that tripped you up. It's quite a good article otherwise. Good job. --[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|35px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 18:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Whoops! Missed one. The first image in "Early life" says Tiberius with her father, Daniel. That should be his, don't you think?--[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|35px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 18:43, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed.  Wing   msg 23:24, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1)  My quibbles are as follows:
 * 2) *In the ‘Introduction’ and ‘Maiden Voyage’ section, as well as once in ‘Personality and traits’, as well as ‘Search for Loque’, all mentions of ‘thermobraic’ should be changed to thermobaric.
 * 3) *In ‘Early life’: ‘his wife, Virginia Zaren, he was moved and raised by his parents on Coruscant’ should be changed to ‘his wife, Virginia Zaren. He was moved and raised by his parents on Coruscant.’
 * 4) *Same section: ‘manage the the’ should be ‘manage the’. Delete repeated word.
 * 5) *In ‘Maiden Voyage’: ‘he was farewelled’ should be ‘he was bid farewell’ or something on those lines. ‘Farewelled’ isn’t a word.
 * 6) *Same section: ‘undiverse’ should be ‘non diverse’ or something on those lines.
 * 7) *In the section ‘Great Expanse War’: ‘it's’ should be ‘its’.
 * 8) *Same section, same again, but regarding the Republic.
 * 9) *Same section: ‘Tiberius lead his fleet’ should be ‘Tiberius led his fleet’.
 * 10) *Same section: ‘what concerned him, is how the ground assault was going’ should be ‘what concerned him was how the ground assault was going’.
 * 11) *Same section: ‘The Dimeans crossed into the Inner Rim, sieging upon worlds’ should be ‘The Dimeans crossed into the Inner Rim, laying siege upon worlds’.
 * 12) *Same section: ‘Tiberius lead the defense of Hapes’ should be ‘Tiberius led the defense of Hapes’.
 * 13) *Same section: ‘maintain it's sovereignty’ should be ‘maintain its sovereignty’.
 * 14) *In ‘Search for Loque’: ‘must do what he believes is right’ should be ‘must do what he believed to be right’.
 * 15) *Same section: ‘The next competition would be a safe duel between the Dimean commander’ should be ‘The next competition was a safe duel between the Dimean commander’.
 * 16) *Same section: ‘Chancellor Jorben however, decided that Tiberius may keep his command for his service to the Republic’ should be ‘Chancellor Jorben however, decided that Tiberius could keep his command for his service to the Republic’. Past tense, remember.
 * 17) *In ‘Personality and traits’: ‘and it's planets’ should be ‘and its planets’.
 * 18) *Same section: ‘crew so much to the point, he resigned’ should be ‘crew so much to the point where he resigned’.
 * 19) *Otherwise, I really enjoyed the storyline and all round article; well written, and, if these are fixed, I have no problems with this becoming a good article. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 19:23, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) I will not support Star Trek being shoehorned into SWFanon. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 17:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *It's not completely being shoehorned. The Expansion Region was the furtherest of explored space in 13,000 BBY. Someone would have needed to explore areas of it, which is why I am making explorers whom find these worlds and some worlds I make up. I am leading up to the exploration of the Mid and Outer Rims.  Wing   msg 21:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * MPK, assuming you're referring to the exploration stuff, then Wing's right. He's following a piece of canonical information in that the Expansion Region was the furthest explored space by the Republic at that time. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Although, I will admit some ideas were borrowed, but I don't see it as me shoehorning it.  Wing   msg 21:52, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Brandon, I find it preposterous that you of all people are defending this. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 22:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm defending the idea of having a story about exploration. TheStarWarsRP.Com has a timeline where the Republic has only explored to the end of the Expansion Region, which is where Wing got this from I presume, and that is based on a canon fact. Now, I'm not defending the actual story itself, because I have yet to read it. I'm simply saying there's nothing wrong with having a story about exploration. If it's simply Star Trek that you have a problem with, meaning the images he used, then answer this. Why did you vote for Conrad Bac and say "Brandon has yet to run out of steam"? Why have you never voiced any concerns about Jonathan Bac? - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 23:23, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If the differences really go over your head, then attempting to explain it would be futile. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 23:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Again, I haven't read the article, but if it's simply Star Trek itself that you have a problem with rather than how it's used then I see this as nothing more than bias. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 23:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) My only concern is that the article is not too long, not sure if I could make it longer as I didn't really want to ramble but there's no real guide as to how long the body of the article should be other than the fact it should cover all plot points (which it does). <font color="#008080">Katana <font color="#008080">Geldar  10:28, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) The only way I will support an article with such a lack of detail in certain areas is if it is totally, 100% sourced from in-Wiki fan fiction narratives. As of the moment, it's not, so I won't support it until it is. My reasoning is that if this isn't information from only fan fiction, then authors need to take the time to come up with more information. If it does come entirely from fan fiction, it needs to be sourced. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:48, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
