Forum:Decreton Lords - SECOND Featured Article Review

Due to the creation of new, stricter Featured Article requirements, it is important that the Decreton Lords once again take the time to issue any complaints they have about the current Featured Articles and decide whether or not an article should remain as a Featured Article or become a Formerly Featured Article. Please be sure to sign everything you say, including complaints and whether or not you wish to revoke Featured Article status so that we know who is saying what. Please be sure to repeat complaints, as it’s important that all Decreton Lords have their voices heard.

Also, please be aware that there is no immediate rush to do this, so don’t feel as if you’re being pressured into reading into reading dozens of articles right now. While you can certainly take your time, don’t take that as an opportunity to wait a long time. While we don’t need it done immediately, it’d be nice to have it done relatively soon. The articles to review are as follows, separated into the categories they fall into on the Featured Article main page. - Brandon Rhea 00:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Not a chance. - Brandon Rhea 02:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope - awesome article. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, but get rid of that redlink. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 22:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Intro is only 163 words and the titles under the History section are incredibly long and stretch the table of contents far too much. - Brandon Rhea 02:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro looks rather short when you compare to the actual article. And as Brandon pointed out, the way-too-long titles under history section are annoying. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Though there are only two minor complaints, yes until these complaints are rectified. - Brandon Rhea 02:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but yes until the complaints are fixed. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Intro seems a bit short, but then again, that might be just me. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro is too short (but only by six words, so that should be easy to fix), lacks detail in "Prelude" and the initial two sentences of "Conflict erupts" (the ones just before "In Orbit") should either be expanded or included in "In Orbit". - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * No. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * No complaints. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The pictures at the end of "To Rid One's Self of Burdens" and all of "Mercy Killing" are far too clumped together on my widescreen computer (so it'll only be worse on a fullscreen one) and the table of contents doesn't make much sense. The entire first section is "Pre-Battle", but then the second section is "Aftermath". It needs to be broken up so readers know when the Pre-Battle ends and when the Battle begins. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Nope. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * No complaints. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Aftermath requires expansion, but only by a paragraph or two. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Nope. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I have a feeling this will quickly become a "no" as Aftermath will probably be expanded fairly quickly. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Intro is too short. I counted 8 links - perhaps that's a bit too few for a featured article. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep in mind, Jack, that the community voted on new FA requirements which included requiring only one link to Star Wars Fanon. - Brandon Rhea 21:36, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Intro is too short. Pre-Battle, Gaining power, Learning of the Attack and Aftermath all require expansion. The pictures are unorganized and some are (literally) right on top of one another.

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Too short intro. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro is too short. Prologue, The battle, the Second Wave and the Space Battle all require expansion, as does Aftermath. The pictures should also be smaller to avoid being so close together. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes until fixed. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * None. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * None regarding actual FA requirements, but the image of the "Narod and Darth Baas duel" should be moved lower down to avoid being right next to "Zeri fights off the Mandalorians" and the image of "The Mandalorians came to vanquish many worlds" should be moved to the left side. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * No. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * No complaints. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro is too short. Conquering the Sith, Start of hostilities, Appeasement, Invasion, The third year, New Ally? and Civil War all require expansion. The pictures need to be smaller to avoid being so close. "Jedi Masters Kyle Katarn and Luke Skywalker battle three Sith Knights" is so big that it leaves a big white space in the article.

Revoke FA Status?

 * Never! --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 21:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Now this is what I would call a featured article! Long article, has lots of details...just awesome. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * None. - Brandon Rhea 23:20, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * No. - Brandon Rhea 23:20, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Legacy, Personality/Traits and Talents all require expansion. Legacy should also address how she was remembered. Right now, it only says what happened after her death. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Post-mortem should be expanded to include a legacy (ie, how she was remembered). Personality/Traits and Talents should also be expanded. And though it has nothing to do with the FA requirements, the massive quote in the middle of Clone Rebellion should either be at the beginning of that section or reworked to become part of the history rather than a quote. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Intro is less than 200 words, every section requires expansion and a Talents/Abilities section needs to be written. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Every section before the title "A Sith Crusade" requires expansion. The only ones after the title "A Sith Crusade" that need expansion are "Collapse of the government" and Operation Wayward. "Lightsaber" and "The Force" in the abilities section should also be expanded, because as it stands the list under that section is a lot longer than the sections themselves. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Stroke of luck, Bad Blood, Confrontation, A Mutual Agreement, Battle of Lehon, No Survivors and The End? all require expansion. Personality and traits, as well as Talents, could use some as well. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:34, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * The intro is too short, but only by three words so that should be easy. The first section of Biography and then Early Life, The First Step, Abuse of Power, Lady and the Tramp, Repercussions, Training on Coruscant, Conflict of Interest, When Love And Hate Collide, Assassin, Union of Darkness, The Road to Nowhere, Reunion, Personality and Talents all require expansion.

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:38, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Sith Crusade and Between the Wars could use expansion, as could Legacy and Personality and Traits. - Brandon Rhea 23:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Intro is far too short. The first section of Biography and then Escaping Roon, Betrayed, Overthrowing the Dark Lord, Zao tenj War, Battle of Korriban, Post-Korriban and Personality and traits all require expansion. The article is also lacking a talents section. - Brandon Rhea 23:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:43, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints

 * Battle of Tanaab, Droid Followers, Settling back on Agon 9, Hunting for the Factory, Duel on Nickel One, Skirmishes with the Rebel Alliance, Trouble with the Galactic Empire, Peace on Agon Nine, all of the sections in Large battles with the Rebels, all of the sections in New Confederacy of Independent Systems, all of the sections of New Republic, Duel with Adrsti, In Control of the New CIS/GDE, Personality and Abilities all require expansion. Traits should also be in the Personality section. - Brandon Rhea 23:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Revoke FA Status?

 * Yes. - Brandon Rhea 23:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Complaints
