Forum:Addition to Good and Featured article standards.

As a member of the Council of Seers, I obviously regularly check up upon the Good and Featured article nominations pages, and so see the standards required for an article to become Good or Featured regularly. After returning to Wookieepedia, after a long absence, I discovered two standards on Wookieepedia I rather feel would benefit us here. The first one is one that's been irking me for some time, after a recent nomination, and it's something I feel we definitely need. A word limit; by Brandon's own argument a while back, if an article covers every encyclopaedic angle, it can be as short as anything. Therefore, a two sentence article can, technically, become a Featured article if it covers every encyclopaedic angle. I don't feel this is right. Therefore, my first proposition is that we make one of the standards for Featured articles to read that an article must be at least a certain number of words.

My second proposition is a smaller, more niggling one that's nothing more than a striving for absolute perfection and pristine articles, and isn't something that's all that major. This is merely a proposition that all categories be alphabetized in order at the bottom of the page, so as to improve the quality of our articles. Of course, it wouldn't be particularly hard to just re-visit all the Good and Featured articles we have on the site, and fix this for them, and so wouldn't drastically change anything; just a little proposition to improve quality. As these two aren't major changes, I'll merely give a week for the voting on them, meaning voting ends this time on Friday the 28th November, 2008. -- (talk) (contributions) 20:30, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
