For more information on what makes a featured article, see What is a featured article?.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree 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).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 2 or more supports than any other article and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Voters can check the articles prosperective Decreton Lords review for any additional information on the article.
 * 3) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 4) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 6) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

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

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

 * 1) I think your profile is great. Very detailed, and you have some good fanfics to back it up. Your backround is nice, with the ties to Quinlan Vos. Not much I'd change, it's good from what I see. - DorkofMordork
 * 2) Much better, though I would suggest organizing a few of the pictures so they're not all on one side of the page. - Brandon Rhea 17:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I like it, seems cool User:Darth Matas

Neutral
*Few things. First, there are way too many red links. From what I can tell, there are 21 of them. The guidelines for FA status say no more than 10, but in my opinion 21 is 21 too many. Also, you have zero pictures there, even lacking one in the info box. You MUST have pictures in order for it to be an FA. The statistics box below the info box should also be removed, as it is unncessary. I won't oppose this, as the things I have mentioned are easily fixable. - Brandon Rhea 15:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * The reason there were so many red links was because they linked to pages of people who hadn't made pages for their characters yet. I've made them now, so there are a lot less red links (seven I think). All objects or events have links to pages. I've added four pictures, but I'm waiting out on a drawing that a friend is doing of Xander to put as his main picture.aeods 11:00, 9 April 2007

 * The only problems I really see are a lack of links and the "Notes" section, which I believe could simply be added into the article, but that's not enough to keep me from supporting the article. - Brandon Rhea 14:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I too am going to "stretch" it. This is the only battle I put my best effort into, and I think it came out rather nicely. It should be a decent article at least (I think so) and even though it's short, I still think it's FA material. I hope you all like it. PS: I won't be voting for my own article, so it has a fair shot at winning and losing.
 * Now that I think about it, this could do with one more picture, speciffically in Prelude. - Brandon Rhea 17:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I added 2 new pics; one in the prelude and one in the aftermath. Tell me what you think.
 * Looks cool. However, one problem is that the picture where Zeri fights off the Mandalorians cuts off some text above it. You might want to resize that picture. - Brandon Rhea 22:26, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have a question, I know it may be much to ask of you, but can you please take a screenshot of what you see? On mine, the picture seems fine.
 * It actually works fine now. I assumed you had fixed it. - Brandon Rhea 17:37, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * It's rather short and it only contains one picture. I'm not sure about this one yet. - Brandon Rhea 00:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I will not vote for this article until it has gone under the rest of the Decreton Lord's review.

Oppose

 * Needs some fixing up.

Neutral

 * I'm going to be honest: I really don't think it's all that good. It has potential, but in it's current state I do not feel that it's worthy of FA status. It's short, it lacks detail, the aftermath section is a sentence long, the pictures are at the bottom of the page with no text and the intro seems like it should be a seperate "Precursor to Battle" section within the history rather than an intro, which should really (in my opinion) be a summary of the entire article. It has potential, so therefore I won't oppose it outright, but it's definately not worthy of FA status in it's current state. - Brandon Rhea 03:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * No, definately not. For starters, saying "I know it needs work" is not a good way of going about nominating an article for FA status, as it tells everyone that it's not done. Now, for what needs work. First, the history is incredibly short. You really didn't say how the NCIS came about, nor did you mention any battles it was in or anything else of the like. How did it capture Geonosis and Dantooine? How did it capture parts of Coruscant without the New Republic forcing them off? What about the Government and Politics of the NCIS? The intro tells us really nothing about the NICS other than it succeed the CIS. You need to answer Who, What, When, Where, Why and How in the intro. Detail is key when writing it. How about Appearances or Behind the Scenes? What I really don't like about this article though is that the Members, Capitol Ships and Support Ships sections make up at least 3/4 of the article. What would be better is if you took all of that and put it in a new page, perhaps something like "New Confederacy Military" or something of the sort. Along with all of that, I just feel that the proper amount of effort was not put into this, considering 3/4 of it is simply a list of links to Wookieepedia. This DEFINATELY seems like something that could be an FA in the future. It just needs a lot of work first. - Brandon Rhea 01:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) About 3/4 of the article is just a list of capital ships, members, and support ships. Definately not aa good featured article, or even a good article.
 * 2) Though better, it is still being expanded, it needs economy, government style, the like, though not necessary. And it could be a bit more detaled, it only consists of a dozen paragraphs, if that much. A good article maybe, but not yet FA material. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

 * I put alot of hard work into this and I know it needs a little work but it is still a good article. Troyb 20:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Look at it now. Troyb 20:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The history is definately much better, and the article itself is much more visually pleasing now that the list of links to Wookieepedia is gone. However, there are still some more sections that really should be in there. There should be a section that discusses the Government and the Politics of the NCIS, as well as a section that discusses the Society and Culture of the NCIS. Also, you don't need two Military sections. Just put "See New Confederacy of Independant Systems Miliatary" into the first Military section. After that, what about some notes about Behind the Scenes? What about Appearances? Has the NCIS appeared in any of fan fiction, fan films, etc.? You also need to put this article into a Category and put an Era symbol at the top of the page. The intro is still way too short as it tells us nothing about the NCIS other than that it succeeded the CIS. As I said before, you need to answer the Who, the What, the Were, the When, the Why and the How in the intro with AS MUCH detail as possible. Finally, be sure to go through and look for spelling and grammar errors. There are a few of those in there. I still have faith that this can be an FA in the future, but it still needs a lot of work. - Brandon Rhea 22:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Although not entirely finished and detailed, and also short, a pretty good article with a good idea and story.

Oppose

 * 1) Although not entirely finished and detailed - Though I did take a look at the article, the very fact that you said that made me immediately say "no" even before looking at the article. I will never understand why people nominated articles that are not finished. Aside from that, there really isn't any detail, it doesn't mention appearances, there is no pictures, the intro paragraph is very short and I would also like to see HOW two people share the same mind rather than simply saying what the cure for it is. - Brandon Rhea 23:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Brandon pretty much summed it up.
 * 3) Per above. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

 * 1) It's one my favorite (and only) articles. I always enjoy reading it. Xepeyon 02:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * It's not the longest article, but I think it covers all the bases of what it needs to. No red links, overview, and a behind the scenes.
 * It needs a longer intro paragraph. - Brandon Rhea 03:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, lengthened. Xepeyon 14:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, now that I've given it a proper look through, there are a few things: First, the pictures need to be organized so they're not all on the right side of the screen; second, it needs a history; third, appearances? - Brandon Rhea 18:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I actually want to keep the images on the right side across from the phase explanation. I have now added a history and appearances though. Xepeyon 21:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

 * Few things. First, the intro paragraph is still rather short. Second, surely things happened in his early life to constitute more than three sentences, yes? The Modal Nodes and the Becoming a Jedi sections also a lacking in detail. I would also reccomend organizing the pictures a bit better, as well as adding a few more. I'd also like to see the Post-Mortem section spurced up. For example, why was Yoda saddened by the death? Why didn't Yoda's spirit come back after the death? Finally, what about appearances? - Brandon Rhea 05:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * per above.

 * I have two questions: first, do you have any Behind the Scenes information; second, has Darth Hiljo made any appearances in fan novels or fan films? - Brandon Rhea 21:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * No, not right now. This article needs a great deal of work. First, it doesn't have a single link to anything else on SW Fanon, or even Wookieepedia for that matter. It's not very detailed. There is only one image, and it is in the info box. Has this ship been featured in any fan novels or fan films, etc.? It is not correctly categorized. There is no era symbol. You have not written a lead in which you need to write the Who, What, Where, When, Why and sometimes even How in AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE! There is no characteristics section. Parts of it, speciffically the "Current Day" section, are written in present tense. Articles need to be written in past tense. Finally, be sure to go through and look for spelling and grammar errors. There are a few of those in there. I still have faith that this can be an FA in the future, but it still needs a lot of work. - Brandon Rhea 21:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Per above. Its lacking some detail, I'm sure it could be spruced up to FA status, but for now, I'll have to decline. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
