Star Wars Fanon talk:The Second Wiki Awards

I suggest some new rules and changes this year.
 * 1:Removal of all categories related to users (especially best vandal poacher, and best spirit)
 * 2:No listing of an article in 2 categories (besides characters)
 * 3:No articles that won last year may enter this year
 * 4:Remove best action article
 * 5:No articles by banned users (i.e. all of Vacatour and his sockpuppets)

The above were suggested by me.
 * I agree with points 1, 4 and 5. But not the rest, and here are my reasons. Some articles have changed over the year, so much so that they may be totally different. I agree that, say, Darth Abeonis shouldn't be put in place for Article of the Year, but that doesn't mean the article should be removed from the awards toally.

 * I also think that we should remove "Best Vandal Poacher" and "Best Spirit", and possibly add some new categories. Lord Orenc  ( Comlink )( Conquests ) 04:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In addition, I don't like the idea of awarding users with these, as opposed to articles. One large suggestion last year was to include "Best Language," and one thing I'd like to see is "Best Free-edit Article." --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 00:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with both of those suggestions. Lord Orenc  ( Comlink )( Conquests ) 00:30, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Can we check this page out? [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 11:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Not very good, but i'm stuck for ideas atm. Sith Council Sith Campaign 11:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I like the idea of a Free-edit article award. However, how would this article be nominated, because you could say no one is the author of it, or you could say that anyone who has ever made a contribution to it is an author? Talk 00:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

This alright? Sith Council Sith Campaign 13:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd take away article of the year because this wiki changes too rapidly and grows too much to have an article measure as superior for the entire year, and I think that users should not be candidates for awards, just their fine work. If you are made user of the year, that means you are Star Wars Fanon, and you need a life. I'm glad we have the last one on the category. I'd suggest renaming it to "Best fanfiction" or "Best short story" because books are technically on paper. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 14:13, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

My opinion probably doesn't count for much, but actually, I think those cover all the bases. Looks great to me. Xepeyon 14:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

This better? Sith Council Sith Campaign 09:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Finished?

 * Does my article have to be finished? Can I nominate an article now and try to finish it in the meantime?  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 17:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless it's obviously unfinshed then yes, you can nominate it. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm thinking of nominating my Namelesennius article and I have written almost half (will delete some, and shorten his life )) so I think I will make it. When will it be BTW?  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 11:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No set time limit yet. Will be proposing some IRC meetings soon so that a table can be made, (maybe the DL's) to choose the final nominations for each category. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 16:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Not to soon I hope...  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 17:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's Time?!
YAY! -- Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library  00:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Deleted?

 * Who have deleted several nominations (including mine) in some catogries? I am very shocked!  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 17:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Me. Everyone was nominating their own articles, and no-one elses. If it continued the contest would've gone down the pan. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 18:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Jasca, I'm sorry for that, but I was going to add other's articles after I had put down my final ones for each one. I also added Nathan back. Oh, I'm switching Jedi characters as well.
 * Aha, I'm sorry for adding my own articles again and again. But where on the page does it say you can't nominate you own articles?  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 20:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't, but this is supposed to be what you'd like to have nominated besides your work. While you can still nominate your own, you should still nominate another's work as well.

Nvm, didn't see the new rule.
 * Now someone deleted my nomination for someone else's article!  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 20:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Idea: Have a group review any nominations. That way we can still nominate our own articles, and we won;t get any stupid nominations (i.e, someone nominating a revan 123 article).

Templates

 * Will special templates be made for nominations, like "This article is nominated for Best Sith Character in the Second Star Wars Fanon: Second Wiki Awards" or something? Xepeyon 19:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 19:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * When will they come?  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 11:27, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Added wiki awards box

 * I added the box down there so there aren't any confusion.  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk!Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]](Namelesennius) 11:30, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
