Star Wars Fanon:Featured article requirements


 * Proposed by: [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 10:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

It has come to my attention that several users have decided that if they continually put there article up for FA, sooner or later, once all the good articles have been featured, they will have to be chosen. This proposed policy will strengthen the rules for an article to become featured, thus meaning that only certain, Good articles can be chosen.

Currently, the rules state that:

An article must...


 * 1) ...be well written and detailed
 * 2) ...be unbiased, non-point of view
 * 3) ...be sourced with all available sources and appearances
 * 4) ...follow the Manual of Style and the Layout Guide
 * 5) ...not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
 * 6) ...not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
 * 7) ...have a sufficient proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) ...have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
 * 9) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article

IMHO, this is not enough. I beleive the rules should be changed as followed:

Proposed new rules
The article to be featured must be&hellip;


 * 1) &hellip;a Good article.
 * 2) &hellip;be well written and detailed.
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances (if articles that involve said article subject are on this wiki).
 * 5) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 6) &hellip;not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination
 * 7) &hellip;have a sufficiently detailed lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 8) hellip;have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense.
 * 9) ...have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
