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 well written and detailed, with at least one link to an article on Star Wars Fanon.
 * 3) &hellip;be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 4) &hellip;all images must be captioned.
 * 5) &hellip;be sourced with all available appearances (if articles that involve said article subject are on this wiki).
 * 6) &hellip;be correctly categorized.
 * 7) &hellip;not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination
 * 8) &hellip;have a sufficiently detailed lead that can be used for the front page featured box
 * 9) &hellip;have a minimal amount of red links; use common sense (no more then ten)
 * 10) &hellip;have a complete, detailed "History" section, and a "Post mortem" section if the article is about a character that has died.
 * 11) &hellip;have a "Charateristics" section if it is about a vehicle, class of vehicle etc.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see What is a featured article?.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. You first must meet nomination requirements to nominate any article.
 * 2) Others will object to the nomination if they disagree 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).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.

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, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 3) Voters can check the articles' Decreton Lords review for any additional information on the article.
 * 4) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 5) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. If you do not provide a valid reason for your opposition, such votes will be removed.
 * 6) As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.

How an article wins:
 * 1) For an article to gain the title of a "featured article", it first must pass Decreton Lord review, by having the majority of the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status.
 * 2) Once the Decreton Lords approve of the article's status being up to standards, then the article can win the title of featured article, if it gains enough support.
 * 3) For an article to finally gain that status of a featured article, it must have at least 2 more total votes than any other article. Any article that the leading article ties with or is behind by only 1 vote, will also be added to the queue of upcoming featured articles.
 * 4) Henceforth, the article will be known as a "featured article" and will be added to the list of all other featured articles.

Also remember to add nominated at the top of the article you are nominating.

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

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the featured template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the featured article template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

Current Standings
These standings are determined by who has the most votes. This may, however, not be the way the winner is determined. Also, oppositions will lower the amount of votes you have, as long as they're for a good reason. Neutral does nothing.
 * 1) New CIS (10)
 * 2) Swerto Dragonouve (8)
 * 3) Steel Legion (7)
 * 4) Lah D'ar (6)
 * 5) Ontuse Karaane(-3)

Too many links to wookieepedia in my opinion, need more links here.TroybTalk contribs 16:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would I link to other people's articles? Wouldn't that say that I have something to do with other peoples creations? If someone has a character that for the most part could exist in cannon I might think of saying we met or something but other than that the only links I have are to Wikipedia articles (because they are cannon SW articles) and to other articles I've made or plan to make in the future. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * I just think you have too many links too wookieepedia, not link to other peoples articles. Just create you own versions of naboo,ect and link it to your page.TroybTalk contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 16:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would I? Wookieepedia is for the actual star wars articles, swfanon is for fan created articles, I'd rather link to the actual article than use somebody elses work in a copy paste or create my own version. Just because I link to wookieepedia doesn't mean that I'm advertising it or anything, these are sister sites. Don't ask me to make 300 articles just because you don't want links to wookieepedia, if the admins didn't want it there wouldn't be a template to just put in starwars:articlename|link name, it would have to be external links. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * Actually, SWF and Wookieepedia isn't official sister sites.  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk! Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]] Namelesennius(Mysteries of a Distant System: Exile) 20:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I still don't see the use of making articles on here when they are on Wookieepedia, especially when theres a template to make linking to it so much easier. What I do see as a problem is people creating articles with no value and doing nothing but 200 links to wookieepedia, I did maybe 20 or so, and they are all for planets, battles, and vehicles. I also linked a few characters but not much. The whole point is that because I link to wookieepedia in my articles the article or I should be thought less of. If they're not sister sites, oh well. I'm not going to go copy/paste from wookieepedia, wikipedia, or any other site or even make my own articles of existing ones just because people want more links here. I have as many important links to articles here as I can right now. There are a few charactes I havn't linked (Hyro, Kael, and a few others) because they're not my characters. The only reason I made the Neal and Kenya articles is because the creators are not only my friends they gave me permission to make their articles. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * Well said Swerto, my thoughts exactly.
 * Hmm, maybe Wookieepedia is a sister site because we're both on Wikia. And I remember Vic vote oppose a couple of weeks ago because an article had to much links to Wookieepedia. I'm not against it though.  N@M3Le$ I know how to talk! Journal [[Image:Namelesennius.jpg|30px]] Namelesennius(Mysteries of a Distant System: Exile) 16:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * 11) Best of these articles.
 * 1) Best of these articles.

Oppose

 * 1) You say you've added everything, yet I've reccomended an Economics section multiple times. The other reason, which Swerto mentioned, is that it's not really done in terms of history. FAs, in my opinion, should be articles about things that are done and such. Take my Featured Articles for examples. Ussej Padric Bac III, Bendu Order and Dark Guardians of Lettow are all done. I will make minor alterations, but the story really won't change or be added to all that much unless I think of something better. As Swerto said, "if you don't have a finished article don't nominate it". I know this opposition won't actually do anything, but I'm still going to express my opinion in this manner. I will echo Swerto one more time in saying "your article isn't bad, its just not what I think should be FA before some other good ones". - Brandon Rhea 20:11, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Why must you oppose everything Troyb and I do? UOTW, FA, everything. You always vote oppose? What do you have against us? What did we do???&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 20:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * If you think I oppose you guys because I "have something against you" then you are either very naive or very insecure. If I don't think something or someone deserves an award yet then I'm not going to vote for it or him/her. - Brandon Rhea 20:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * It just means that I don't think either of you deserve UOTW yet and the articles you have put up for FA aren't ready yet. - Brandon Rhea 20:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Let me solve this problem. Brandon doesn't have anything against you, he just wants things to be good with reason. Like he agreed with me the article isn't bad. Neither of us are trying to say your articles suck or anything. We have both given many suggestions on how to make your articles much better, if you don't follow the advice it is your choice. I have decided not to vote against you because even though there is that problem it isn't a BAD article. I just don't see this being FA over Steel Legion which is a far better organization/government article... sorry. Now on UOTW like I told Troyb, he doesn't do enough on this site outside of his group of friends to have a chance. I have given him suggestions on what to do to increase his chances of winning, if he follows them it is his choice. Now just to prove brandon doesn't have anything against you... look at the old oppositions to my article, 40% of them are from Brandon, not because he's cruel or has a vendetta against somebody, because he wants this site to look good. Now I have the same belief and I will make all oppositions known and will advise change, much like him. Getting in a screaming match and splitting the user base on this site is not something that is a good idea. Now Tyler I respect you but you and Troyb need to quit getting so defensive. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * I said to stop this fight. And I'm not getting defensive. Troyb's article is no better than Steel Legion; they're about the same in quality. Troyb does do stuff on this site, such as Troyb,New CIS, and pretty much all of the council members. Maybe you should get to know him before you start speaking against him.&mdash;[[Image:DTylerSig.gif|150px]] Contact the GDE GDE's conquests [[Image:Kuat Systems Engineering.jpg|25px]] 20:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Tyler I have nothing against Troyb, I actully consider him a friend, but you guys do get too defensive. I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I have always since day 1 let my objections and opinions be known. If you don't agree with them it IS your choice. So if you think they are the same quality that is your opinion, just like it is my opinion that Steel Legion is the best in nominations ATM, even better than mine. Now I never said he didn't do anything, look in his messages and you'll see the advice I gave him. If he follows that advice and does a little more then he'll definately be UOTW. Now the two articles you just named are linked through his articles and he's assosiated with them. Now me and Brandon have nothing against anybody, I consider you a friend as well and will be glad to end this fight. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * This article is very poorly written, though, has been having rewrites, which I do not believe FA's should be allowed to be edited while nominated, but hey that's just me. Also, the article is very bias.

 * If nothing has happenned yet why are you even nominating it? The only reason I EVER put Swerto up was a mass majority of his life other than the end and a little in the middle is pretty much said and done. I can still add a few things here and there and it won't change the article. Thing is if you don't have a finished article don't nominate it. I'm going to stay neutral, you are going to win anyways with 9 votes which surprises me. I won't go negative though, your article isn't bad its just not what I think should be FA before some other good ones. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * (Sigh) the reason I nominated it is because i expanded it alot and in my opinion was ready, but I will expand it more, and also you sound a little rude when saying "which surprises me". Also I'm glad to hear you think its not bad.TroybTalk contribs[[Image:Troyb2.jpg|20px]] 16:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if I sounded rude, it is not what I meant. What I meant was that it is monday, last week and this week my article hit a grand total of 5 votes by sunday and had them by tuesday. Now for you to have 9 on monday either means you have alot of friends or you are good at asking people to read your article and make a vote, I really just leave it to the power of the voters. I still think I shouldn't have to go through this again though, I had second place last week. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto

Note: I really don't care whether you vote neutral, for, or against this article, but I would appreciate if you did vote.

 * How is this contradictory to canon? (though I suppose every article on this wiki contradicts canon by default) Unit 8311 19:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You have an organization that not only blatantly lets itself known to the galaxy but it does things that don't happen in the cannon storyline or couldn't happen. Take my Dark Order, It COULD happen but most likely DIDN'T happen. whereas Swerto Dragonouve and Swerto (I) could both happen, outside the Dark Order part. Nothing against your article though, I loved it and I hope you win. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
 * What are the things you think couldn't happen? Just wondering. By the way, it's spelt 'canon', not 'cannon'. Unit 8311 10:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I know it was a simple misspell. Things like a droid rising up and creating a criminal organization that rivaled the Black Sun organization, and also I'm guessing it rivalled the Zann Consortium. Things like that don't happen without being widely recognized. [[Image:Swerto sig.jpg]]talk to the Swerto
