Star Wars Fanon:Featured articles/Nominations

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best the Star Wars Fanon Wiki has to offer.

What makes a featured article or what article should you nominate to feature? 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 a Good article.
 * 2) &hellip;be well written and detailed.
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;all images must be captioned.
 * 5) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances (if articles that involve said article subject are on this wiki).
 * 6) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination
 * 8) &hellip;have a sufficiently detailed lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 9) &hellip;have a minimal amount of red links; use common sense (no more then ten)
 * 10) &hellip;have a complete, detailed "History" section, and a "Post mortem" section if the article is about a character that has died.
 * 11) &hellip;have a "Charateristics" section if it is about a vehicle, class of vehicle etc.

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.

Current Standings
These standings are determined by who has the most votes. This may, however, not be the way the winner is determined. Also, oppositions will lower the amount of votes you have, as long as they're for a good reason. Neutral does nothing.

 * 1) How many more weeks will I have to support this until it becomes featured?
 * 2) I thought it would be added last week, cuz it wasn't that far behind Darth Faust in the voting. [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk 17:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 2) For the third time, no. - Brandon Rhea 20:01, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm not voting oppose because it's "silly". It lacks of quality in my opinion.  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk! Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]] Namelesennius(Mysteries of a Distant System: Exile) 22:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) No. Just, no. Make a Grievous-esque droid, and improve the quality, and maybe. As it is, just work on something else, this obviously isn't FA-worthy. Aeods 08:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) No. Just no. Like Aeods said. Danny NZ

 * 1) I think it's cool, so I'm putting it up! Danny NZ

Oppose

 * 1) Several mispellings and grammar/punctuation errors.--[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests[[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 22:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Should use American English spelling. I believe that that is a policy here.

Comments

 * I think this is cool. It's a well written peice, and should be put up. It's very good quality, and is a good example! It's completely awesome!
 * Well, that's all well and good, but you should sign your posts from now on.
 * For spelling mistakes they may seem as that but some words are the Australian way of spelling so some errors may be just that.Darth Matas 22:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter. (ex:"Duelled" is supposed to be "dueled")--[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests[[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 22:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

And the spelling is supposed to be American English (it said that somewhere on here).
 * That's kind of nationalist. What if he doesn't know the American spelling for it? He can't check it on word since his is the Australian version.Darth Matas 23:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I found where it says that. It says it is perfered but not that it has to be that way.Darth Matas 23:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Nationalist... (there's a word for everything now ain't there?) its common that we use American English spelling on Star Wars Fanon. Its very similar to our COPPA situation. Though many users aren't American, we still have to follow American laws, because the Wikia project is headed in the United States. Either way, (I believe) it was decided by consensus that we should use American spelling in articles, like Wookieepedia or Wikipedia. For example, though Jasca is from Britain, he still uses American English in most of his articles (either that, or I'm really bad at telling the difference :P). He could always ask somebody to spell check it for him. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
 * Then why do I always see that annoying "colour" on Wikipedia? --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 02:33, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, Wookieepedia then, smartie. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

There are no spelling mistakes, just the Australian way of spelling. If the American is preferred, that's all well and dandy, but I prefer the proper spelling, as it is spelt in England, the actualy originator of the English language.Aeods 06:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Darth Tyler, since last time I checked, this is a wiki where anyone can edit. If you see simple spelling errors, you are quite within your right to correct them. If they are merely a difference between English and American, I would ask you kindly not to correct them, as it is not a MUST for articles to use American spellings. Now, if your vote is merely because of my oppose to yours, I would ask you to remove it. Aeods 07:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) It doesn't seem finished yet. Also, its lacking a Military, Economy, Astrography, and the like sections. The first few sections seem too brief to describe everything in full detail. The government section also seems to be a bit lacking. Some articles could also be created instead of leaving them as bolded text. Though it has the potential to become a featured article, its not quite there yet. Also, you could add a main image (in the infobox) and resize the current images. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 03:13, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I agree with JM76; too many boldings instead of links, lacks A LOT of detail, even in the history, plus it could have many more sections (like those mentioned above). [[Image:SVsig.jpg]] (Talk)
 * 3) See the DL discussion for my reasons. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 10:11, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Per JM76 and Vic. Not only does it not seem completed, but you have a "Major Edit" template SAYING that it is not finished. - Brandon Rhea 16:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
