Star Wars Fanon:Good articles/Nominations

Star Wars Fanon's Good articles The good articles of the wiki are articles that represent the norm of Star Wars Fanon. Articles that no longer meet the criteria can be proposed for improvement or removal at Star Wars Fanon:High Priests.

What makes a good article or what article should you nominate to be good? 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 well written with enough detail to tell the entire story accurately and appropriately, though it does not have to be anywhere near the size that FAs should be as the Good Article main page states that some “cannot reach FA status as of yet due to its limited content”.
 * 2) &hellip;have at least five links to articles on Star Wars Fanon (if applicable).
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, neutral point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances.
 * 5) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 6) &hellip;have all proper era icons.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with any form of improvement tags at the time of nomination, or any other templates.
 * 8) &hellip;have a 150 word introduction that can be used in the Good Article History.
 * 9) &hellip;have absolutely no red links.
 * 10) &hellip;have a well detailed History section, and one that is complete if the character’s story is not continuing in novels/comics/etc., and a Post mortem section if the article is about a character that has died.
 * 11) &hellip;have a Personality and traits section for a character and Characteristics section if it is about a vehicle, class of vehicle, etc.
 * 12) &hellip;have a "Behind the Scenes" section for any interesting facts about the character's creation, etc.

How to nominate:
 * 1) First, nominate an article you find to be worthy of Good Article status by putting it at the bottom of the list below. Add GAnom to any nominated article.
 * 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 will adjust the article until the objectors are satisfied
 * 4) The GAnom banner should be placed at the top of all nominated articles.

How to vote:
 * 1) Remember, you can only vote if you meet the requirements of the voting policy.
 * 2) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely and keep a sharp eye out for mistakes
 * 3) Afterward, either support or object the article’s nomination
 * 4) If you object the nomination, you must supply concrete reasons for doing so, as well as your suggestions as to how the article can be improved. If you do not provide a valid opposition, your vote will be removed.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters and anyone willing to improve the article. Action will be taken to please the objectors.

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

A small blue check in the top right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is a good article.

Current Standings

 * 1) Commonwealth of Tristram (-1)

 * 1) I compared this with the GA req. and found no fault with this. I had to keep reminding myself that this is a GA nom, not an FA. It's quite a good article and a decent read, but you really do need to expand several sections as VIc said below. That will be an FA req. and you can be sure it'll be enforced. --[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|30px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 05:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *Xep, take a look at the "paragraphs" in a lot of the sections. They're just one sentence long, thereby giving off the illusion that there's a lot there. If you combine them together to make real paragraphs, you'll see that many sections aren't even long enough by GA standards. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:41, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Good enough for a good article. Meets requirements and the user has expanded enough, for GA. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 22:46, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Per vic. Dexington 22:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) You need to work on making paragraphs. That just looks like a list of important topics, really. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) The following sections are still short and a bunch of sentences rallied together to look long: Society and culture, Economy, Maintaining peace, early years. I didn't check if the introduction is long enough, but is also a few sentences made to look long. Most of the government section could use a bit of expansion. Church and state and Exec. branch could use some expansion. -- Victor, Sr.  HoloNet 209 05:32, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) *Just checked word count - it's good. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  05:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) **I compared the Commonwealth of Tristram to the New Confederacy of Independent Systems, a government article which achieved GA status. My cutlure section is longer than it's, my astrography is longer (it's long because of a list), my article overall is longer. Xwing327 06:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) *Comparing your article to NCIS doesn't exactly help your argument here. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  06:10, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) **Pwned. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 06:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) **Well I'm wondering how it became GA when mine is longer. Xwing327 06:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) *How it became GA is a very good question, but NCIS isn't nominated right now whereas your article is. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  06:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) **Last night, I expanded somewhat. How is that? Xwing327 16:52, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 10) ***As Brandon did for last week's nomination, I crossed off the sections where I'm satisfied and have bolded what I still believe could use some, if not a lot, of expansion. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 21:27, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 11) ****What bold? Xwing327 00:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 12) *****Nevermind, I see it. Society and culture expanded. Economy expanded. Xwing327 01:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 13) Not yet chum. Do what Vic said and it will be good. Dexington 21:40, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 14) Per Above, and also dont compare your article to mine, just so that you can prolong the argument that its not GA.TroybAllSpark Quest contribs[[Image:MovieBlack.JPG|10px]] 00:25, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 15) I was having second thoughts about this being GA worthy shortly after I nominated it, and Rhea's comment about the paragraphs delivered the final blow. Also, per above points.--[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|30px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 01:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Neutral

 * Improved mistakes from last week. Xwing327 05:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I combined the one liners or "hanging" sentences in your article to make larger and actual paragraphs (in a few sections). With that, I think the article looks much better, lengthier and more detailed. Since this is GA, I am satisfied with your current article, except for the few parts I bolded above. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 02:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * So far, I expanded the Executive Branch section, and I am now starting on Church and state. Xwing327 03:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I expanded all that was asked for. Xwing327 22:42, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Aurelius Tempest
I'd like to see what the community thinks of my article and how to improve it to reach Good Article Status. --  Riffsyphon  1024 11:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) It's pretty good, but there are a few issues. The intro should have at lease 150 words, the Legacy could be expanded a bit, and Description should be removed as a section, and it's content should be redirected to be placed in Personality & traits .--[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|30px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 13:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey no problem. I'll get to work on those items. I have already added a few more images for the article. --  Riffsyphon  1024 14:02, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Expand introduction and legacy. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 19:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per the above. Otherwise, I think it's pretty good. The images probably would look better in left-right-left-right format, but as you know, Riff, I've always been picky about that. ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J.

Neutral/comments

 * You might want to move apart the pictures of Tempest's fleet above Aduba III and the image of Tempest 1 on Aduba III. In my opinion, they're way too close together, considering the article doesn't have any other pictures. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 12:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * But for such a small section, where would I place the second one if not to try to add more information regarding Aduba-3? --  Riffsyphon  1024 12:24, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Some of those images look a bit off, especially the one in the revenge section. The rest of the article seems okay to me, however. Unit 8311 17:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you define "off"? --  Riffsyphon  1024 18:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * A bit dodgy. You know, requiring improvement. But still, it looks like a good article. Unit 8311 18:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If the rest of your article is good to you, why don't you support it? Just because you don't like the images is not a valid reason to oppose. Otherwise, don't voice your opinion if you're not going to vote. And another thing, you're complaining about the images because he was creative enough not to use canon images as most other users do? lol. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 19:23, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * He was referring to the fact that the images aren't that well made (sorry), not because they're not canon. Personally, I don't really like the images either. The only one that I would be really picky about would be the main image. I'd either find a new image or have someone else photoshop it. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  20:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I improved the main image by using a larger file. I hope this helps. --  Riffsyphon  1024 08:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I know, I was referring to the fact that he at least made his own images (based off others) instead of having crispy, perfect canon images, as most users do. -- Victor, Sr. HoloNet 209 22:04, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) A very good article, if I may say so myself. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  04:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
