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.
 * 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.
 * 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.

 * 1) Great concept, good character, nicely made pics. Good overall. Meets all the requirements as well.
 * 2) I spent a good deal of my time working on this article. I hope everyone likes it as much as I do.

 * 4) You know, I am not sure if Lah D'ar will ever be featured because IMO every article thats nominated right now is worthy of FA status [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk 17:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Strange name for a Sith Lord, but it's a great article. - Brandon Rhea 21:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) Not really. Faust is close to fast, and fast is close to famish. Famish fits a Sith Lord, right? I'd think so. Malak described himself with it, too (I think). Anyway, support,

Oppose

 * 1) I think the pictures are a little weird, but besides that, it seems a little short for a featured article, and doesn't have many links to other fanon articles. Aeods 06:46, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a counter to Aeods. I apologize if my pics are "weird", I'm not a master of photoshop, and I like to make my own.  And as far as it's length,  How about Darth Hiljo?  And Battle of Vuur (Dar'yaim War).  Also, on links, I feel a writer doesn't need assistance from other sources.  It helps, but it is not needed to tell a good story.  It also is not one of the requirements set forth by the Decreton Lords.  I hope this negates your opposition, or at least makes you rethink and withdrawl it.  Because those are all things that are reviewed by the Decreton Lords, and the article passed, so, I hope that opposition doesn't stand.  I don't mean to sound whiny, but I do feel that those are mere trivialities that were already reviewed by the lords.

Comments
He [CurrentBigThing] explains why he named him Darth Faust in the Behind the scenes section.
 * Never said he didn't. I was simply saying that I thought the name 'Faust', not the meaning behind the name, was a bit odd, in my opinion. - Brandon Rhea 03:26, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No offense Rhea, but I was talking to Shadowphobia.
 * I feel so unloved. - Brandon Rhea 04:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. I see. I still think my idea was good...  Black  (kills)  Assassin

Support

 * 1) I've worked hard and long on it to complete Narod's son's story (this article), and I believe it meets all requirements.
 * 2) Vic's articles are always enjoyable. Plus I felt honorerd when he included a power I made up.
 * 3) As I promised, support!  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk! Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]] Namelesennius(Mysteries of a Distant System: Exile) 11:29, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

 * 3) Definately. I think it's a great, original article. - Brandon Rhea 21:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) I'll vote this. I love tech stuff. Nice.

Support

 * 1) I have fixed several of the problems stated, but not the idea of the overall article, as I am not going to completely rewrite the article into a different character.--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 14:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I support this. There was actually nothing really wrong with it, even in the DLs first review. [[Image:XEPE.JPG|150px]] Say it like it is... Or it was. 15:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Troyb 17:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) I'm sorry, but I find the idea of a force-sensitive Battle Droid to be silly. -MPK 17:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Still no, for the reasons I mentioned last time. - Brandon Rhea 21:24, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Too many external links...
 * 4) Per above.
 * 5) If you aren't going to change the sole major concern with this article, then it shall never be an FA. At the very, very least, have it as a Grievous/Vader-like droid, that was once an organic and has a remaining trace of organics within it, allowing it to use the Force. Otherwise its a no, once again, from me. Aeods 06:42, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

This is troyb,why is it that everyone think's that a battle droid with power's of the force is so weird!This is SW fanon where anything can happen. Troyb 18:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course, but we still have a right not to like it. However, let's not turn this into a debate again. Our reasons have been given and that should be enough. - Brandon Rhea 21:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 * just wondering, is having too many external links a valid reason to oppose? I would assume that he means links to Wookieepedia, and although some users do not seem to like Wookieepedia, it says opposers must give a valid reason and I am not sure if that is one. [[Image:pinky.gif|50px]] Talk
 * I would agree with you there. - Brandon Rhea 04:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The reason a force-sensitive droid is wierd is because the force doesn't work like that. How did the droid get force-sensitive in the first place? How can it use lightning without shorting itself out? The whole idea of force-sensitive droids is rediculous. One of the guidelines that I use in my fanon is "if it's impossible in canon, don't make it in fanon". I don't mean events, I mean how things work. Such as the force. I know that you can make it that way in fanon if you want to, but that doesn't mean that it should be that way. -MPK 16:13, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * And like I said,This is SW fanon anything is possible and who know's,maybe droid's can use the force.Just because you have never seen a droid use the force dosen't mean it's not possible.Also please do not call it rediculous,Tyler put alot of hard work and thought into that article and that may hert his feeling's.Troyb 18:33, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If it might hurt his feelings, then perhaps he shouldn't be nominating something for FA status where critiscm is welcome AND encouraged. And, like we've said, you can make your fanon articles any way you want, and that's what's great about this place. However, we do not have to like the premise of the article simply because it's fanon. - Brandon Rhea 18:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Well MPK should still use a better word then rediculous,and I said it might hert his felling's but I'll have to hear from him. Troyb 18:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The words are spelled "Ridiculous" and "hurt" BTW.
 * Even though its non canon, how about you guys take a look at this and tell me what you think.--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 20:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You're not going to change my opinion on this matter, and the article you have just showed us is intended to be comical! Secondly, everyone needs to chill the hell out. Are we seriously insulting people by correcting their grammar now? - Brandon Rhea 20:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorryy, its just that I don't think criticism on my article should be on the subject of the article, just on the grammar, spelling, punctuation, usage, and the way its written.--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 20:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's why it's tagged with the non-cannon template. And also, I don't mean to insult anyone.  I just find it hard to take them seriously when they spell words incorrectly.
 * So, if I fix the external links, will you'll change your vote?--Darth Tyler Talk to Palpy Palpy is awesome[[Image:Sidsaber.jpg|25px]] 21:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * PLEASE take this to individual talk pages. It's getting rediculous here. - Brandon Rhea 22:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the misspell,I was half asleep at that moment. Troyb 18:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments

 * Only, ONLY because someone asked me to, who doesn't have enough contributions to nominate it himself, I'm nominating this again. If it were up to me I would have let it simmer for a while, but whatever. Added a bit more to his backstory before leaving Tatooine, and added a Succession Box. Aeods 07:49, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
