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 identified with proper era icons.
 * 3) &hellip; be well written, comprehensive and detailed; well written meaning that the prose is engaging and of a professional standard and comprehensive and detailed meaning it does not neglect major facts and plot points.
 * 4) &hellip; have at least one internal link to Star Wars Fanon besides years, eras, and canon elements
 * 5) &hellip; acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject, covering every encyclopedic angle.
 * 6) &hellip; be of an appropriate length, long enough to provide sufficient information, depth and analysis of the subject without including unnecessary information that could be made into a sub-article.
 * 7) &hellip; be clear, using a logical structure written in plan language.
 * 8) &hellip; follow standard writing conventions of modern English, ie correct grammar, punctuation and spelling.
 * 9) &hellip; be written from a neutral standpoint that presents the information fairly and without bias (ie, do not make articles Mary Sues, Gary Stus or character-gushers).
 * 10) &hellip; follow the Manual of Style and Layout Guide.
 * 11) &hellip; contain images where appropriate.
 * 12) &hellip; have all images properly captioned.
 * 13) &hellip; be correctly categorized.
 * 14) &hellip; not be tagged with improvement tags or any other templates at the time of nomination.
 * 15) &hellip; have an introduction of at least 200 words that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the subsequent sections.
 * 16) &hellip; have no red links, as they must be filled by stubs or not linked to.
 * 17) &hellip; have a complete and detailed “History” section, including a Post-mortem and a Legacy section for a character that has died.
 * 18) &hellip; have a “Personality and traits” and “Talents” section for a character and “Characteristics” section if it is about a vehicle or technology.
 * 19) &hellip; have a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents
 * 20) &hellip; be stable, meaning that it is not the subject of any edit wars and that the content does not change significantly from day to day, reversions of vandalism and improvements based on suggestions not applying.

Approve

 * 1) A very interesting article. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 18:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I thought about this for a long while (a month, wow), and the more I think about it the more I think that this is fine for a Featured Article. I would like to see it have an infobox, though. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  21:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) I believe that the article should contain more than just a short layout section, a massive history and a list of patrons. This somewhat restricts the information about the space station. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:41, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) Vic fails to disappoint. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 19:23, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Lacks society and culture, could split and expand government and economy, could expand a tiny bit on the history, and could give more details on the actual P'urikan military. --Squishy Vic discussion archives 19:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) What the article's author said. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Approve

 * 1) Absolutely, but you might want to expand the post-mortem/legacy. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 19:48, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) Expand Postmortem and Legacy. I know you can find a way to give it more. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  20:56, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Expanded the legacy a bit. I'll get some pictures up near the bottom soon enough. Dexington 19:50, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Comments
I agree, NK, and I know that Brandon won't give me the vote until I do. I'll get on that sometime soon. Dexington 20:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) This isn't a complaint, per say, but I just don't know about this article. I'll check back later, after I can give full reasons behind whether I support this or not. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 19:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't know either. Too much of this is just a list. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  20:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) *I'll be beefing up the sections to make them less listy soon. Unit 8311 20:55, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Erm, just no. The introduction is awful, and tells very little about the story of the game, and is more like a comparison to the numerous canon games. Way too many lists, and what sections are written in paragraphs are far too short. In fact, the only section I see as being up to FA standards is "Gameplay", and that is in terms of length. Darth Abeonis Sith Council Sith Campaign 00:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Cleverly done, but needs a talents section. That's about the only complaint I have for this. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 17:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * A talents section really sounds humorous. Must I identify his ability to balance a ball on his nose and arf? --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * You know, a long time ago, Brandon Rhea said the same thing. He said something along the lines of "Do I really have to say that Ussej can cook and clean?", to which I responded, of course, yes. Talents are very broad just like a personality and plus, it's part of our rules to include talents. --Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 06:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Approve

 * Well done. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 17:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
