Star Wars Fanon:Council of Seers/February 2009 GA review

This page is the February 2009 Council of Seers good article review. Only one good article review, which was entirely lackluster, has been done before and that was over one year ago. This review is actually going to work a bit differently than, say, the Third Featured Article Review that was conducted over the summer. Rather than reviewing all good articles, the Seers are only going to review good articles that also double as former featured articles that have been removed in the third featured article review. If you take a look at the archives of the Third Featured Article review, a lot of the objections for pretty much every article are not exclusive to featured article status. Quite a few of them are just really bad articles that are no longer deserving of either featured article status or good article status, hence this review.

The thing with this review is that we are not going to actually be putting up new reviews. Any article on here has already had its featured status revoked, so for virtually every article on this page our objections will be “per the objections of the Third Featured Article review”. It makes things quick and easy, and it gets rid of a lot of subpar good articles. It will also make things a bit easier if and when we decide to have a review of non-featured or non-formerly featured good articles (meaning articles that are ONLY good articles and nothing else) because there will be a lot less to put up legitimate reviews for.

So yeah, to recap, we are going to be deciding if formerly featured articles that are also good articles are still deserving of their good article status. This will be done by looking at the reviews from the Third Featured Article Review conducted over the summer. There is no set end date of this, but I do not believe it will take all that long. Only five Seers need to support the removal of the good article status for it to pass, and the votes will essentially be “per the third FA review”. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 06:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Vote
Although this is stating the obvious, voting “Keep” means you wish for an article to keep its good article status, and voting “Remove” means you wish for an article to lose its good article status. Please note that ONLY MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF SEERS MAY VOTE. If you have not done so already, please read the opening three paragraphs.

In order for an article to be stripped of its status, a majority vote (5) of the Council of Seers must be reached.

 * 1) Riff said he fixed up the objections from the 3FAR, but if you take a look at its current FA nomination you'll see there is an insane amount of issues it needs to deal with. All of those objections are not from the entire article. It's from the introduction and maybe the first one and a half sections. Clearly it's not up to snuff even for good article status. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 07:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) It actually seems that this article has gone through an extensive rewrite. I say keep it and then review it once we do a more proper GA review. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Discussion
For those that might be somehow “offended” by this review, keep in mind that this has nothing to do with you personally. Good articles, and featured articles for that matter, need to adhere to a certain standard of quality. None of the articles up there, with the exception of (so far) one, adhere to that standard of quality. This review is about taking out the garbage or those that are below standards, much like the third featured article review was over the summer. We may have lost half of our featured articles in that review, but we’re better for it.

Now, during the featured article review, we gave users two weeks to clean up their articles. This is not going to happen this time. The featured article review ended six months ago, and some of these articles were objected to upwards of eight or nine months ago. These authors have had plenty of time to correct the objections and, frankly, the majority of these articles need total rewrites based on their objections. It will take much longer than two weeks. The best thing you could do is to let us remove the status. Remember, just because the status is removed does not mean the article will be a formerly good article forever. The article can be rewritten and re-nominated for good article status after it’s fixed.

That’s all I have to say for now. If I’ve forgotten anything, I’m sure my fellow Seers will point it out. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 07:13, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
