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.

 * 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.

Nominations
Remember, only the Decreton Lords will vote below.

Approve

 * 1) Beautifully done. --Squishy Vic discussion archives 19:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) The bounty hunter, The businessman, Hunting Lymie, Hiding Hunter, As a lord, The Mukhabarat, End of the assassin, Hunting as a lord, The end of the lordship, Death of the hunter and Personality/Traits should be expanded (the last one should also be changed to "Personality and traits"). Also, Postmortem and Legacy should be two separate sections. Finally, you actually went and linked to all of the articles on Wookieepedia rather than using the proper format per the MOS. Please fix all of those links. - President Brandon Rhea [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  08:26, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Per Brandon, a bit of expansion in each section. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 08:46, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Per the above. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 01:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) *I've expanded the sections.--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 09:50, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **A lot of the sections are still pretty short. I'd suggest either greatly expanding them or combining them with other sections. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ***Any specific sections you want me to expand on?--Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 06:58, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

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)

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) Very interesting article. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 19:19, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) --Squishy Vic discussion archives 19:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) I'd like to see a lot of expansion under Organizational Divisions. It was fine for Good Article status, but for Featured Article status it's going to need more. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *Huh? Really? "Organizational Divisions" is by far the longest section in the whole article. Is there a particular part or section in there you want me to specifically expand?--[[Image:Xepeyon.JPG|30px]] You Speak, I've Spoken 18:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **I figured you'd know what I meant by looking at it. Yes, the overall section is the longest, but some sections within it are short. Namely, the sections talking about the specific councils and the initial part of the executive division should be expanded. I'd also suggest expanding the first sentence in the Organizational Divisions as well. It doesn't look good with just one sentence there introducing it all. Either expand it to two paragraphs or so that gives a brief overview as to why it's so split up, etc., or just get rid of it completely. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)

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 <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 19:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) What the article's author said. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * 1) I just need to add a Talents and abilities section. I’ll be doing so tonight, so this is only a temporary vote of disapproval. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  05:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
