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 well written and detailed, with at least one link to an article on Star Wars Fanon.
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;all images must be captioned.
 * 5) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances (if articles that involve said article subject are on this wiki).
 * 6) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination
 * 8) &hellip;have a sufficiently detailed lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 9) &hellip;have a minimal amount of red links; use common sense (no more then ten)
 * 10) &hellip;have a complete, detailed "History" section, and a "Post mortem" section if the article is about a character that has died.
 * 11) &hellip;have a "Charateristics" section if it is about a vehicle, class of vehicle etc.

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. You first must meet nomination requirements to nominate any 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 adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.

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, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 3) Voters can check the articles' Decreton Lords review for any additional information on the article.
 * 4) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 5) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. If you do not provide a valid reason for your opposition, such votes will be removed.
 * 6) 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.

How an article wins:
 * 1) For an article to gain the title of a "featured article", it first must pass Decreton Lord review, by having the majority of the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status.
 * 2) Once the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status being up to standards, then the article can win the title of featured article, if it gains enough support.
 * 3) For an article to finally gain that status of a featured article, it must have at least 2 more total votes than any other article. Any article that the leading article ties with or is behind by only 1 vote, will also be added to the queue of upcoming featured articles.
 * 4) Henceforth, the article will be known as a "featured article" and will be added to the list of all other featured articles.

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.
 * 1) Ussej Padric Bac II (8)
 * 2) Steel Legion (7)
 * 3) Lah D'ar (6)
 * 4) Leaf Man (5)

 * 1) I worked for quite awhile on this piece (over a year for the history, to be exact) and I feel it is ready to become a Featured Article. Hopefully you do as well. - Brandon Rhea 13:10, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) Yes.
 * 2) Indeed.
 * 3) I'm giving you the benifit of the doubt, you are linking to the same thing too much. You got rid of the every time it said his father, but you don't need to link to him every time you say his name, only the first. Other than the link thing (which is annoying), great article and deserving [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto

Neutral
Just so you are aware, Swerto, it's linked to his name in the intro paragraphs, once in the first section of the history, once when he dies and then in quotes. So, really, it's only linked twice in the article because there's nothing wrong with having it linked in quotes. - Brandon Rhea 13:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to vote yes or no on this one. It seems to meet FA criteria, but it just feels unorganized to me. Perhaps it has too many categories, but I don't know. I'll have to really think about this one. - Brandon Rhea 17:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
