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 identified with proper era icons.
 * 2) &hellip; be well written, comprehensive and detailed; however, not to the extent of the requirement for a Featured Article.
 * 3) To be well written, the article must have a prose that is engaging and of a professional standard.
 * 4) To be detailed, an article must be written in an encyclopedic format with no point of view in the detail, though that detail is not excess nor irrelevant; instead, the detail must also contact all relevant major facts and plot points.
 * 5) The article must acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject and cover every encyclopedic angle.
 * 6) The article does not need to have a finished storyline.
 * 7) The article must be clear, using a logical structure written in plain language.
 * 8) The article must follow standard writing conventions of modern English (ie, correct grammar, punctuation and spelling).
 * 9) All grammar and spelling must be one hundred percent accurate. The High Priests and voting members of the community will inspect all of it to make proper edits.
 * 10) &hellip; have an introduction of at least one-hundred and fifty (150) words that summarizes the entire topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the following sections.
 * 11) &hellip; follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, categorization policy, as well as all other policies.
 * 12) &hellip; contain enough images where appropriate, but the page is not cluttered or overstocked.
 * 13) &hellip; ensure that all images in said article follow the standards of sourcing in the Image policy.
 * 14) &hellip; not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination.
 * 15) &hellip; have absolutely no red links, as they must be filled with at least stubs or not be linked to at all.
 * 16) &hellip; have no links in section titles.
 * 17) &hellip; have a brief "Personality and traits" section that generalizes the character's said personality
 * 18) &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.

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. Please nominate in this format:

 * 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.

Support

 * 1) Been working hard on this. Think it meets the new requirements. Unit 8311 14:16, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Actually, there is reason to vote against this. The article fails rule #6, as all of your images fail the sourcing requirements in the Image Policy. While they're not at risk for being deleted because they were uploaded before the new policy was in place, they must be properly sourced for this to be a Good Article. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 20:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) *Sourcing? Bah, I thought that sort of thing was for Wookieepedia. Anyway, job done. I'm sure you'll agree that this is now up to standards, no matter how many silly acronyms it contains. Unit 8311 17:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Image Policy also states that a description of the image is required on the Information template. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 17:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) **Done that too. Unit 8311 17:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, changed my mind. Honestly, does no one use a spell checker any more? I'm not going to list where these mistakes are; call it punishment for not bothering to spell check. Here are the mistakes:
 * 1) *painful and slow death that beings who were infected with it had should be changed to painful #and slow death that victims who became infected by it had.
 * 2) *mishapen should be spelt misshapen
 * 3) *shriveled should be spelt shrivelled
 * 4) *canceled should be cancelled (this error appears twice)
 * 5) *favor should be favour
 * 6) *veteod is spelt vetoed
 * 7) *demonstation to demonstration
 * 8) *Quaratin to quarantine
 * 9) *Nontheless, to none the less
 * 10) *orang to orange
 * 11) *euthanised to euthanized
 * 12) *Repbulic to republic
 * 13) *annhiliate to annihilate
 * 14) *cyrogenically to cryogenically
 * Please, please please use a spell checker! [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 18:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Tom, some of your corrections there are wrong. Favor/favour doesn't matter, because Favor is the American spelling. Republic should remain capitalized since it is the proper name of an organization. If it was just referring to a generic republic, then I would agree with you. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 18:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done all that. Also, 'orang' is deliberate because I made it up. Unit 8311 18:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Neutral/comments

 * My better judgment wants me to vote against this just for the name alone, but I'm just going to refrain from voting at all. -MPK 17:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm also voting neutral on this. Let's go with the phrase "too silly". - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 17:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * While not a fan of the images, that's no reason to not vote. However, I will agree with Brandon; too silly and too... strange. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 17:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Aw come on, there's plenty of silly and strange stuff that's made FA already. Besides, the only people liable to get the name are hardcore internet nerds like us. Unit 8311 17:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant, I'll abstain from voting for the time being. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 18:09, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * "ZOMG...it's....ZOMG!" God, that's a lame quote. This article is way too silly. --Victor Dorantes (discussion) (contributions) 18:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed that quote. But seriously Vic, the article isn't that silly. There's only the name, and maybe one or two quote, and the rest is silly in the same way that a nuclear holocaust is silly. Unit 8311 18:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's silly because I didn't know (until now) that Mary-Sue diseases could exist. --Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 18:55, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Been working hard on this for a long time. I think it is finally good enough. Sorry, Unit 8311, I couldn't let you win without any opposition. Darthfuzzball 17:35, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
And that's all I found. Needed to have been put through a spell checker before nomination. My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 17:57, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Spelling and grammar errors are as follows:
 * In the introduction, a very feared pirate organization should be changed to a much feared pirate organization, for grammatical correctness.
 * In the introduction, the word 'dots' should be changed to circles.
 * In the Growth of an army section, you put organiation, rather than organization.
 * In that same section you put confict rather than conflict.
 * Same section, honor rather than honour.
 * In the downfall of Orion Forte section, it should be changed from: was on his way to Ris'danon, the last thing he was expecting was a Jedi. Especially not one as powerful as the one that was sent. To was on his way to Ris'danon, the last thing he was expecting was a Jedi and especially not one as powerful as the one that was sent.
 * Force sensitives should be changed to force sensitive's, in same section.
 * In the Struggle back to power and final destruction section, unimportantness should be changed to lack of importance.

Neutral/comments

 * Ah, come on! You guys make comments on his but not mine? Sorry for being so impatient [[Image:Tongue.gif]] Darthfuzzball 17:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't gotten a chance to look at yours yet. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 17:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) Nominated: Been working hard on this, and it's longer than my first GA! I think it meets the new requirements. I just noticed about changing the sources, so I've done that. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 08:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC) 17:36, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Review: (Note I am aware that some of the notes below are not in the rules, but I might as well point them out along with the grammatical/spelling and formatting errors)
 * 2) *I'll mention now, from the start, that you need to stop putting images right in the middle of a sentence or paragraph. It breaks the text and is unorganized, so you need to properly format an image before or after a paragraph (or section header) rather than in it.
 * 3) *The Intro is one huge paragraph. Cut it down into two or three, please. Also in the intro, "Bounty Hunter" is not capitalized. It's not a proper noun/term.
 * 4) *There are no dates in the infobox. On birth/death, you just put the worlds where she was born and died, and no dates. Please give dates. If they are "unknown" (for reasons unknown) then just put "Unknown, Dxun" or whatever.
 * 5) *Under affiliation, please remove the asterisk before the "Mandalorians" since it's all by itself, and therefore the asterisk isn't needed.
 * 6) *From early life: "This angered many people in the clan, yet Twen's husband had been influential enough for her to still have some power among the clan, and she managed to make sure that Sela remained there. Yet still, as Sela's antics continued, the patience of the elders of the tribe began to wear thin. Yet Twen still managed to keep her in the village." There is redundancy in there. You already said that Twen was able to keep Sela in the village, yet you say it again. Merge the whole thing about her influential power and the elders into one sentence to avoid this.
 * 7) *From Disaster and trouble section: Please split it up into paragraphs rather than one huge one. Also: "brother in law" should be "brother-in-law". "Uncle in law" should be "uncle-in-law", etc. No need to emphasize words in the article, so please remove the italics from "Sela really would try".
 * 8) *Later: "She scarred him horrifically down one cheek" Remove horrifically; that has point of view, and articles must have neutral/no point of view. Later: " Sela had no choice to agree" Makes no sense, but I think you're trying to say "Sela had no choice but to agree". Right after the latter: " and the young ten year old set out into the dangerous Dxun jungle. " Remove dangerous, as that is also point of view. Later: "such as Boma's" Bomas, without the apostrophe. Later: "The lake was beautifully clear," Remove beautifully. Point of view. Rewrite the following sentence to be worded better, although I know what you're trying to say: "She had found herself, except for the predators, a paradise."
 * 9) *Skipping down: In the behind the scenes section, your link to Bible is incorrect, spelled Bilbe. Also though, you don't need to link to the Bible, we all know what it is. Instead you could specify what story it came from and link to that if possible. If not, then just take out the fact entirely, since there are tons of Bible stories.
 * 10) *I'll read more later. For now, there you have it. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 18:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) **Oh dang. It would seem, as Jesus would have said, I have been picking the speck out of my brother's eye when there is a plank in my own. I'll a have to go back and change those. Thanks Vic.
