Forum:Proposal of "The Critique Board"



This is the Proposal of "The Critique Board". This group is a group I propose we create for community involvement. The group is not to function as the DLs or Administrators do; no one will be elected into the group nor will any one lead it. The only "leadership" will be the entire community, who will be overseeing that rules are not violated and that things are properly set up as explained below (No one is required to this, except the Cabal since administrating is our duty).

The Critique Board will be a place that will go in the sidebar to which users can look at. Basically, any user can write a "critique article" based on an actual ARTICLE on Star Wars Fanon. If this is passed, I will create a template where the "title" of the article will go, the critique/rant, and a "comments/response" section. This board is not meant to put anybody down but instead help others with constructive criticism. Things like "Your article sucks because the name Narod Antrell is stupid" or the like will not be accepted nor tolerated. All of the rules apply, of course, and critique can be "negative" but in a civil form. Responses should also remain civil. The main point is to give helpful criticism to help articles out, I.E. as C3PO did to NKSCF, creating the retcon about Clawdites and their reproductive system (see Nathaniel Kenobi Solo for more).

I realize that you can just critique others' articles on any talk page (user's or the article's) but this is a way to keep the critique in one place, where the responses, comments and critique can all far into one place. The set up of the critique board will be at Star Wars Fanon:Critique board.

I want consensus and majority community support on this before I even begin to get it started. I also would like to here recommendations for names for the critique page. The layout of the page would be like so:


 * Welcome to Star Wars Fanon's critique page! Feel free to make an addition to the page by using critic and adding a new section at the bottom of the page. Also, feel free to comment on others' critique or respond to critique on your articles.


 * ==Article name==

It will make more sense when I make the template for the board as I said, if it gets community support.
