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. - Dork of Mordork
 * (This is not a vote) Admins, was this a sockpuppet vote? Just curious.
 * Well, its hard for us to tell. The only way we would know if he admitted it himself or if one of the Staff members (Sannse, Angela, Sparkla) found out. I'm not sure. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
 * That vote wasn ot a sockpuppet vote or whatever you called it. It was of a real person another person who is from the same rp website as myself and Xander Vos. His username is Dork of Mordork and his is a real person except he did not place anything within his user profile thingy. If you are wondering check this site out and look for yourself. User:Darth Matas


 * 1) 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)
 * 2) I like it, seems cool User:Darth Matas
 * 3) I vote for it but the redlinks, if any that are still there, need to be taken care of. -- Kessam Prun 21:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) There are still a sufficient amount of redlinks. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

*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)
 * Has eleven redlinks. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 22:28, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * By my count there's only ten. Aeods
 * I've double checked and there's eleven.

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
 * DorkofMordork is not a suckpuppet, he is a real guy. As Matas said, check out our site, or check the IP or something. His name is Brian, my name is Alex, and Matas' name is Diego, Brian lives in America, I live in Australia, Diego lives in Mexico (I think), so its hard for any of us to be sock puppets of DorkofMordork.
 * DorkofMordork is not a sock. As Alex stated, he is Brian, a member of the Rebels Star Wars Role Playing Forum. Diego was born in Mexico, moved to Texas, and just recently moved to Los Angeles. -- Kessam Prun 21:50, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for clearing that up.

Support

 * 1) 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)
 * 2) The DL discussion convinced me. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 10:42, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) The story is very good. Like the pics... ok, support. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
 * 4) Much better now, I think this is a really good article now. It was good before, but it just seemed a little small, its better now.
 * 5) Heck yes.

Oppose

 * 1) I don't really think it works very well because there aren't many links to other articles, and its quite short. Maybe if it was expanded on a bit, then maybe, but not yet. - Aeods
 * You do know that you shouldn't link to things more than once, right? Therefore, that is why most of the links ended up in the infobox of the battle. And expanded? It's expanded as much as it possibly can be, because it's expanded practically as much as possible for a battle.
 * You know what, scrach that. I can edit it and expand a bit more, I'll do so in a moment.
 * It's done, I expanded the prelude, battle and aftermath sections quite a bit. Review please and reconsider your vote.

Comments

 * 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)

Neutral

 * 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)
 * Though I won't oppose it outright, it could some touching up. It only has two pictures, though the article's brevity prevents it from having more. Though the story is good, some of the info could be moved around (the latter part in the intro could be moved to 'Early life', for example), so I'll remain neutral for this one. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

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)

 * 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]]
 * 3) Is this a joke?

Comments

 * 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) It's one my favorite (and only) articles. I always enjoy reading it. Xepeyon 02:21, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) The picture in the new infobox just sold me. I'm supporting this article now, based on the inclusion of the infobox and that my reccomendations were carried out. - Brandon Rhea 23:15, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Nothing wrong with it from what I can See. (Don't Look Here!)(Where is the Rebel Base?) 22:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment

 * 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)

 * I think it's good enough.
 * It appears that it has passed the DL review so I am now voting for it [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk

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)
 * Nice, but its paragraphs don't seem to include enough detail (especially the later ones), for example, the last few paragraphs seem kind of like wrap up sentences, didn't he go on any really interesting missions during the Yuuzhan Vong War? Or did he become the 'stereotypical Jedi Master' he feared he would become? Besides that though, looks good. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]] 00:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I am not trying to start an argument, but as far as I know, everybody didn't like New CIS because it needed to be bigger. --Darth Tyler(talk)[[Image:Darth Tyler.JPG|30px]] 21:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Bigness (not even a word, lol) doesn't make an FA. Rather what makes an FA is detailed and well-writen content (and lots of pictures ). The reason we asked for the New CIS to be longer (or at least, why I did) was because it wasn't long enough to explain everything in full detail. It was also lacking some key elements missing from some other Government articles, like Military, Economy, Astrography, etc., plus, I don't think its History was done. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]
 * Darth Tyler, you obviously don't know what a good article is. Your article was long because of a long list of ships and such.
 * Do yourself a favor and either vote for this article or take off your oppose vote and make everyone happy.

Neutral

 * 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)
 * No. Hiljo hasyet to be incorperated into a fanfic itself. And no, I have no BtS section, I just made this article up of the top of my head. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, his Personality & Traits could be expanded and you could add sections about his weapons, fighting style, ships or romances. If I see one or two of these I'll probably vote.

Oppose

 * Some of the sections could be expanded, especially the Way of Life (they must have more methods and ideas than that!). There are also so many multiple links (Orcthania alone has about 8 links). There are lots of spelling and grammar mistakes too, so I'd run it through Word.
 * Same here.

Neutral

 * First of all, YAY SMALLVILLE! Second, a few things: I would like to see "Although usually peaceful, the Hidden Rakata will stand up to its enemies and engage them in war" in the intro expanded with specific examples. Also, "Way of Life" is very, very short. I'd like to see more detail. - Brandon Rhea 04:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
