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:
 * ===Article name ===
 * ====Support====
 * ====Oppose====
 * ====Neutral/comments====
 * 1) Others will object to the nomination if they do not believe 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).
 * 2) Supporters will adjust the article until the objectors are satisfied
 * 3) The GAnom banner should be placed at the top of all nominated articles.

How to vote:
 * 1) Remember, you can only vote if you meet the requirements of the voting policy.
 * 2) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely and keep a sharp eye out for mistakes
 * 3) Afterward, either support or object the article’s nomination
 * 4) If you object the nomination, you must supply concrete reasons for doing so, as well as your suggestions as to how the article can be improved. If you do not provide a valid opposition, your vote will be removed.
 * 5) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters and anyone willing to improve the article. Action will be taken to please the objectors.

In addition, put the number sign, #, next to your name so the votes can be counted. Please sign your posts as well!

A small blue check in the top right corner of an article's page indicates that the article is a good article.

Oppose

 * 1) Not much to change, but here's my review. Let me know when you've made the corrections and I'll remove my opposition:
 * 2) *"Airth successfully graduated from the Coruscant College of Law, with average scores and gradings." - 'Gradings' is not a word and I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say with it, because scores and grades are essentially the same. I'd either remove it or use a different word.
 * 3) *"Airth completely abandoned the degree he'd earned, against his parents wishes" - I'm not any good with apostrophes so I'm going to have to rely on spell check with this one, which tells me that it should be "parents' wishes".
 * 4) *"He was interested in spacial combat" - This one came as a surprise to me, but apparantly "spacial" is not an actual word. A simple change to "space combat" should suffice. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 19:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) **I corrected the first two, as needed. However, "spacial" is a word. Both my dictionary and this say so, so I won't change that, since it's correct. --Victor discuss 20:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ***Very well, but Dictionary.com does not refer to it in terms of outer space. I'll remove that based on a technicality, though. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 20:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) ****Not necessarily, but Outer Space is only named as such because there is a lot of space (lol). Spacial means relating to space, so "spacial" combat is good enough; "Outer Space combat" would sound stupid, to me. Space combat is fine, but since spacial is a relative word, I prefer that one. --Victor  discuss 20:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Neutral / comments

 * 1) Same as last week. X-Wing 327 03:52, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Review:
 * 3) *From the intro:
 * 4) ** "usually reserved for the senate"; Senate should be capitalized, proper noun.
 * 5) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ** "The unaware senators did not realize they just gave Palpatine not only emergency powers, but the just gave up their democracy."; you put "they just gave" as if they just did it recently. We write from a historical/past tense, so put that they didn't realize that they gave him the powers, without the "just".
 * 7) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) ** "during a rebel assault on Coruscant "; Rebel is proper in this case, so capitalize it.
 * 9) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) ** "However, this did not mean the end of the Empire."; I get what you're saying, but perhaps you should say "this did not bring about the end of the Empire", it just sounds more proper, grammatically wise.
 * 11) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) *From Behind the scenes:
 * 13) ** "Cos Dashit was used as Palpatine's first name as Cos Dashit was his original name. The author considered using the name Frank as Palpatine's first name in reference to Palpatine's line in The Phantom Menace, "I must be frank, Your Majesty...", but Cos was used instead."; I think that fact is irrelevant, seeing he's not named "Dashit" anymore.
 * 14) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) ** I don't like the bulleted format for a BtS section, but that's just me. I prefer a paragraph form instead.
 * 16) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) ** We all know what Hitler looked like. I highly oppose having an image of him there.
 * 18) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) *Throughout the article:
 * 20) ** You need to put "Cos's" when speaking of possession, because that is proper. If a proper noun, such as my own last name Dorantes, ends with an "s", you still add an apostrophe and an "s", not just an apostrophe. If we were talking about "all of the generals' money was stolen" then it'd be fine, but since Cos ends in "s" then when speaking of possession, it must be "Cos's".
 * 21) *From See also:
 * 22) ** All those links have got to go, minus the one linking to Wookieepedia and instead of linking to all those Palpatine articles, just link to the disambiguation page of Palpatine. Especially that Adolf Hitler, it has no relevance. Simply because it was inspiration does not deem it a link, especially since you already linked to it in the BtS.
 * 23) ***Done. X-Wing 327 15:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 24) * I haven't actually reviewed the biography/talents/personality/legacy sections, but I will sometime in the week. This is the easy stuff for now. --Victor <font color="#0C003F">talk 04:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 25) **Thank you, will start fixing tomorrow. X-Wing 327 04:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 26) Since you have taken care of all the issues from my first review, I removed my opposition. I will further review the article later. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor <font color="#0C003F">talk 18:40, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. X-Wing 327 21:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I glanced at this and ran a spell check on it, and there doesn't seem to be any spelling errors or anything like that. I'm going to print out a hard copy tomorrow during my break in classes and look of the grammar, formatting, etc. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 02:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) Review:
 * 2) *From the infobox:
 * 3) **"Light Gray"; should be "Light gray"
 * 4) *From History:
 * 5) **"History" should be "Biography"
 * 6) *From Early Life
 * 7) **"Early Life" should be "Early life"
 * 8) **"youngest Core World capitans"; misspelling there, unless you're writing in Spanish.
 * 9) **"Joshua and his ship was sent"; were sent, since it's speaking of two or more things.
 * 10) *From "Outbreak"
 * 11) **"The council reluctantly agreed to leave"; The Council should be capitalized, since it's proper in this case.
 * 12) *From Liberation
 * 13) **" though the council refused to be a part of the attack "; same as the above error.
 * 14) *From P&t
 * 15) **"the numerous conflicts that Joshua was a part of including the war was"; put commas around "including the war".
 * 16) **"Joshua strongly yet privately opposed the Jedi Order"; put commas around "yet privately"
 * 17) **"he felt that strength yet compassion was necessary"; commas around "yet compassion"
 * 18) *From BTS
 * 19) **"when Brandon Rhea's character Cos Jonathan Dashin became Supreme Chancellor"; Commas around "Cos Jonathan Dashin".
 * 20) *Why is there an extra unnecessary header at the bottom?

Neutral/comments
I want to address for a moment a comment that was left on the nomination for this last week that said people shouldn't be nominating more than one article per week. That's a really bad mindset to get into. GAs are not an award and they are not a prize. They are meant to give distinction to articles that deserve them. The moment you begin thinking that more than one article should not be nominated by the same person in one week is the moment that you begin acting as if GAs are awards and prizes. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:33, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. I believe it was Dexington who said it. Regardless, I just happened to work on two articles within a week and decided to nominate them both, as they are both good material, IMO. I assume the same went for Brandon. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor <font color="#0C003F">talk 03:23, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
