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 identified with proper era icons.
 * 3) &hellip; be well written, comprehensive and detailed; well written meaning that the prose is engaging and of a professional standard and comprehensive and detailed meaning it does not neglect major facts and plot points.
 * 4) &hellip; have at least one internal link to Star Wars Fanon besides years, eras, and canon elements
 * 5) &hellip; acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject, covering every encyclopedic angle.
 * 6) &hellip; be of an appropriate length, long enough to provide sufficient information, depth and analysis of the subject without including unnecessary information that could be made into a sub-article.
 * 7) &hellip; be clear, using a logical structure written in plan language.
 * 8) &hellip; follow standard writing conventions of modern English, ie correct grammar, punctuation and spelling.
 * 9) &hellip; be written from a neutral standpoint that presents the information fairly and without bias (ie, do not make articles Mary Sues, Gary Stus or character-gushers).
 * 10) &hellip; follow the Manual of Style and Layout Guide.
 * 11) &hellip; contain images where appropriate.
 * 12) &hellip; have all images properly captioned.

 * 15) &hellip; have an introduction of at least 200 words that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the subsequent sections.
 * 16) &hellip; have no red links, as they must be filled by stubs or not linked to.
 * 17) &hellip; have a complete and detailed “History” section, including a Post-mortem and a Legacy section for a character that has died.
 * 18) &hellip; have a “Personality and traits” and “Talents” section for a character and “Characteristics” section if it is about a vehicle or technology.
 * 19) &hellip; have a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents
 * 20) &hellip; be stable, meaning that it is not the subject of any edit wars and that the content does not change significantly from day to day, reversions of vandalism and improvements based on suggestions not applying.

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Does not comply with rules 2,8,9,11. Lacks detail, the introduction is significantly less than 200 words (which, as Vic believes, it should be) and has a very noticeable and important red link. Personality, traits and characteristics could also be expanded. Not yet FA quality. - Brandon Rhea 05:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Rhea. -- Victor  ( talk ) 05:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per Vic. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 11:51, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Not really an FA, though it is a clever idea. Such an important topic could have so much more. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:59, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) No complaints except for those two redlinks in the middle. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 20:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) As above. - Brandon Rhea 20:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * I honestly believe the history could be expanded and broken into more than one paragraph, and that the description/design could also be expanded. Perhaps also break the intro into two paragraphs (no expansion needed on that though). -- Victor  ( talk ) 05:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Per Vic. - Brandon Rhea 04:50, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that I'm back from my wikibreak, I should be able to comply to the demands. I'll let you know when I'm done. D arth  P  hobia  21:09, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I expanded the history, broke it up, and intro is two paragraphs. I added a sentence or two to the design as well. It had two redlinks, but they should be fixed tommorrow. So, whadya think ? D arth  P  hobia  01:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

 * 3) I approve, but the Root of the Name section should be under the culture section or in the introduction. It's just too short and feels out of place as a regular section. - Brandon Rhea 00:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Add a talents, post-mortem/legacy section, and change the category Male to Males. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 22:36, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

-- Victor  ( talk ) 07:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * My first "in depth" review. Anyway, here goes…
 * I think there should only be one quote at the top of the article; two is too cluttered and it can be integrated into the article or saved for later.
 * In the infobox, you need to remove his original/birth name and simply put Darth Nyne since that is his current name. "Midnight Black" should be "Midnight black" (black isn't proper). Now, eras, allies, enemies, factions, etc. should not be separated by a, but instead by an asterik (*), like a list.
 * In the introduction, his current name (Darth Nyne) should be first, not his former name. It should be something to the extent of "Darth Nyne (born Yungn'yne'akure), previously known by his core name Nyne..."; you get the picture. Next thing, eras are out of universe, meaning they cannot be used in an in-universe article (at least not in an in universe section; behind the scenes would be the only place to mention eras). Therefore you need to change from "Empire Era" to the specific years or to something like "during the Galactic Empire's reign". Now next sentence: "decendant of Zez-Kai Ell one of the masters that had condemned Revan" First off, decendant is spelled descendant, and the fact about Zek-Kai Ell is irrelevant to Nyne's intro/history. Another sentence: "training himself in the Jar'Kai Lightsaber Form"; lightsaber form should not be capitalized, and also throughout the entire article, you need to use more punctuation (commas to prevent the run-on sentences I keep seeing). Also remember that the "Force" (when talking about ) should always be capitalized.
 * The main article; Expand on minor details throughout. For example, what kind of negotiations did Nyne have to go through for his parents to allow him to leave with the Jedi? Expand on his training, and the event in the mess hall, as well as what forms he practiced for lightsaber combat. Another thing. I truly and highly doubt that the Jedi believed in a death penalty since it was not their way. I am sure exile would be their choice for sure or "rehab", but not punishment by death. Expand towards the end of the article, on Nyne's Sith training and negotiations.
 * Image problem: The image "NynePADAWAN.jpg" overlaps some of the text in the article from the top, so you should try to fix it by moving it up a bit and organizing it better so this doesn't occur. Also move "Nynemastertraining.jpg" down a bit, so it isnt so close to the youngling image.
 * Please expand on his personality/traits. Give examples, elaborate, and tell why Nyne is the way he is. For example, "constant brushes with the dark side"; like what? (Give examples, etc.) But do not lose focus on personality/traits (meaning don't start repeating history, just give an example and keep the focus on the subject).
 * Please add a talents section, such as abilities with the Force, lightsaber, hand to hand combat, cooking, negotiation, etc. Make sure to focus on talents.
 * You have an error in the Behind the scenes section. This line: "The name also stems from the creators nick name Yung Nine"; make sure to put an apostrophe after creator to make it "creator's".
 * In the Appearances section, the book/fan fiction title should be italicized.
 * Categories; a common error I see in many articles: please remove the Jedi category. Nyne is a Sith, so please replace the "Jedi" category with "Fallen Jedi". Also, specify about his Sith rank; if he is a Sith Lord, put "Category:Sith Lords" or if he is an apprentice put "Sith Apprentices", etc. Make sure to replace the Sith category with the specific one. Lastly, please fix "Category:Male" to "Males" (remember, categories are always in the plural form).
 * I hope you fix all those errors and make your article even better, up to FA standards. Always remember to use proper spelling and grammar to the best of your ability. Happy fixing!

Thank you for digging so hard at the article, because I would like it to be the best it can before it ever makes FA status, and I will get on those fixes as soon as I can.  N.Y.N.E. Comlink 07:12, 20 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Vic beat me to the punch and really got everything, so per him. - Brandon Rhea 13:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Could use a few more in universe links. The infobox is hardly readable and the grammar in the main quote is incorrect. The main image could be changed to better represent the uniqueness of the form (i.e. two lightsabers). A history of the form's development and usage could be created and overall, the article needs to be laid out much better. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Per some of the points above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 14:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Since I'm on my lunch break, all I can say is that I don't know how to change the color of the infobox. It came like that, might need some help in that area. Otherwise, I'll finish it up later. Dexington 19:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Although this is a great Good Article, it does need a bit more. As Jasca said, the infobox is barely readable. As far as the main quote, the only grammar error I see is "It's". It should be "Its". A main picture with two lightsabers would make sense, and I would also like to see a history section added to this. I have no doubt you can come up with something for that. - Brandon Rhea 17:05, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Below are my complaints for this article:
 * Though there are enough words in the intro, it would look better if it was broken up into more than one paragraph.
 * The pictures in Hutt Secret Police, Height of Success and Never Enough are very crowded on my Widescreen computer, so on Fullscreen computers they will be even more so.
 * Clone Wars and Weathering the Storm should be expanded.
 * Capitalization errors throughout. Two examples of this are where you have "twi'lek" and "stormtroopers". The first letters of both words should be capitalized.
 * Postmortem is incorrectly spelled "Post-mordem".
 * Postmortem needs to be greatly expanded, along with much more about his legacy.
 * Talents should be greatly expanded.
 * The sections under Possessions and Vices should all be expanded or combined into one section.
 * Once these and any other complaints made by DLs are resolved, I believe this will be a Featured Article. - Brandon Rhea 04:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've crossed out what has been fixed thus far, though it still needs work. A lot of these sections appear long, but they have two, three and sometimes one sentence lines in them. You should only hit the space bar to go down to a new "paragraph" when you have, in fact, written an entire paragraph. If the "paragraphs" in each section were to be combined, you'd be amazed by how much shorter this article would be. Please be sure to add in A LOT more detail and correct the other errors above such as the pictures. - Brandon Rhea 16:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) Per the above and a couple I'm about to add.
 * Safety is misspelled in the intro.
 * The article could do for some expansion in the main body and the paragraphs should be split up, so instead of one huge paragraph, there would be several, which makes it look much better.

 * 1) I'd like to see the history finished, but that's not technically a requirement so the article has everything it needs and then some. Nice work. - Brandon Rhea 17:05, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
