For more information on what makes a featured article, see What is a featured article?.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 2 or more supports than any other article and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Voters can check the articles prosperective Decreton Lords review for any additional information on the article.
 * 3) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 4) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
 * 6) Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

In addition, put the number sign, #, next to your name so the votes can be counted. Please sign your posts as well!!

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

Current Standings
These standings are determined by who has the most votes. This may, however, not be the way the winner is determined. Also, oppositions will lower the amount of votes you have, as long as they're for a good reason. Neutral does nothing.

 * 2) Jonro Lamai, Ryan Vex (1)

 * There are quite a few spelling mistakes in this, so you will want to go through spell check. Also, the Personality section is rather short and could be given some more detail. - Brandon Rhea 18:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Where are these spelling mistakes? - Aeods

 * Ok, I've found the mistakes and fixed them. - Aeods
 * Knowledge, there are no spelling mistakes, unless my Microsoft Word is outdated. You may perhaps be referring to differentiations between Australian and American spellings, but that does not mean a mistake. Redlinks only exist for a small amount of characters and battles and story lines not yet expanded upon on our site. What do you want me to do in their cases, remove the red links? - Aeods
 * For the redlinks, it's best to simply remove them and keep them as plain text. As for spelling mistakes, there are still a few there (such as "travelled" and "refuelled", etc.), but a few of them I know for sure are simply differences in spelling. - Brandon Rhea 16:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I've put more work into it, added more pictures, and expanded on many sections. - Aeods
 * Ok, there are now no red links, and I'm fairly sure all spelling mistakes are gone. Remember, this is a place where anyone can edit anything, so if you spot anymore, just fix it as you see it. - Aeods

I have worked long and hard on this just for this award.

 * 1) Needs more links to SW Fanon.
 * 2) Way too many Wookieepedia links, and images are not formatted properly. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 16:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I didn't like it. It's too cheesy and the images were poorly done. Also the fact that he is a droid and he uses the Force is enough for me to vote against it alone. - Dork of Mordork
 * 4) I also don't like it. As Dork of Mordork said, the fact that a droid can use the Force is impossible. Grievous could never use the Force. A mechanical being able to use a field of energy only sensed by organics is rediculous. - Aeods

Neutral
The pictures need to be better organized. - Brandon Rhea 16:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) It's good, but it just needs a little work. Personally, I don't think the amount of links to Wookieepedia is bad. After all, there are some of us who want to have our fanon fit into established canon. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 13:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Dork of Mordork might not be a sockpuppet, but the user doesn't know that he has to log in or something, because the actual user has no contributions, all contributions that have to do with him are made by an unregistered user. [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk
 * So you don't like it because the droid can use the Force? Just so you know, Grievous may have gotten a few midi-chlorians from Sifo-Dyas, and he is pretty much a droid. And what do you mean by "cheesy"?--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 02:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Grievous could not use the Force. Also, Mordork saying that he doesn't like it because of a droid using the Force is perfectly reasonable, as it is impossible for a machine to be attuned to an energy field that binds all life together. - Brandon Rhea 03:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I know Grievous could not use the Force, but how can he have that fast of reflexes? If he can, then a machine can, too. Typically machines react faster than organisms do. And I am sorry if my idea is stupid.--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 20:53, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You have too many links to Wookieepedia. If they don't exist on SWfanon, just remove the link. I do that on mine, and sometimes they look better with fewer links altogether. And this is SWFanon, if he wants a Jedi/Force-sensitive droid, he can. And cheeseyness or whatever you call is a point of view, and it has nothing to do with its actual quality. Make valid points, not biased ones. [[Image:XEPE.JPG|150px]] Say it like it is... Or it was. 03:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Spelling mistakes, and shortness as well as only a few pictures leads me to this vote. - Aeods
 * I fixed the spelling mistakes, an shortness doesn't matter (in this case), and more pictures would crowd up the article.
 * 1) Sorry, but I'm inclined to agreed with aeods. After skimming through it with a spell check, there were quite alot of mistakes. And as I said last week, it needs some more category's, and you need to expand the Personality & Traits section. No offence, but, overall, it just looks like something that's been kind of rushed.
 * OK, i have corrected the spelling mistakes. And how exactly, might I ask, should I add more categoies when he doesn't fit into anymore? The Personality and traits section is fine, as it is hard to create a personailty and traits for a character. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 20:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Are you saying its easier to create a personality and traist for a vehicle? =P But anyway, describe the character, what they're like, whether they are funny, sarcastic, cynical, quick to anger, grumpy, etc. - Aeods
 * I really don't think you should be ordering Jasca around. You should be offering suggestions, not giving orders. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) (Record of Imperial Service) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 11:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * And, as most people here will tell you, trying to order me around will only make me ignore you, and grow distasteful of you. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 15:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I was ordering you around?? How? I was making suggestions... You said "How do I make a Character and Traits portion?" I was telling you what kind of things you COULD include in it. And might I suggest you change your attitude? You're going to get ordered around at one point or another in your life. - Aeods
 * Guys, this is FA voting. If you want to discuss people's attitudes, then do it via your talk pages. There's no need to clutter this page up with this nonsense. - Brandon Rhea 01:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm sure it'll win this week. [[Image:SVsig.jpg]] (Talk)


 * Ok, I have a question. Can more than one article become featured at the end of the week, or is it just one? Because seeing as this article will obviously win, there is not much point in even nominating another article if only one can win. [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk
 * It depends on how close they votes are, and how many are tied. Say this article ended with nine, and Darth Tyler ended with eight, but the nexta rticle ended with three, I'd put both Darth Hiljo and Darth Tyler up on the list. The same with a draw, if the top few articles are drawn, they'll all go up. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
 * At the end of the week, when this article will obviously be featured, can I renominate Darth Tyler? Or is it a one-time nomination?--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 19:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Another long article by me. Very fanonified. A very good read.

Opposes

 * Umm, no. Doesn't feel like a FA.
 * 1) Now that I've taken the time to read over the entire thing, here are my comments: you have no intro paragraph. What would be put on the main page without it other than a picture?; "Main Article" should be retitled "History"; "History" should start with "Early Life", not "Fall to the Dark Side"; as I said before, the quotes need the proper format; also as I said, there is a huge gap at the bottom; this character is dead, so it needs a Post-Mortem section; there is no Personality and Traits section; finally, the images are way too small. This could be an FA in the future, but not right now. - Brandon Rhea 23:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Way too short, not enough detail about different sections of his life, and no introduction. - Aeods

Neutral
There is a large gap between the end of "Final Testament" and "Behind the Scenes", and the quotes are not formatted properly. You need to use the quote template. - Brandon Rhea 16:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with Rhea, It just doesn't have that "Featured Article" feel to it. It almost seems incomplete, but I think it's on its way. [[Image:XEPE.JPG|150px]] Say it like it is... Or it was. 03:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
