Star Wars Fanon:Good articles/Nominations
The Star Wars wiki of fan invention.
| Nominations

This is the voting and review page for good article nominations. Good articles are articles on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki that are meant to represent the norm of what the wiki has to offer in the way of standards of quality, but the standards are not as high as those of featured articles. Out of 23,542 on this wiki, less than one hundred (100) are currently of good status. Articles that no longer meet the criteria can and will be proposed for improvement or removal by the Council of Seers, the eight (8) member good and featured article review board.
In order for an article to become a good article, it must meet a set of requirements. After it is nominated on this page, members of the Council of Seers and users will then review and vote on it to determine whether it is of good article quality based on the requirements.
An article must…
- … be identified with proper era icons.
- … be well written, comprehensive and detailed; however, not to the extent of the requirement for a Featured Article.
- To be well written, the article must have a prose that is engaging and of a professional standard.
- 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.
- The article must acknowledge and explore all aspects of the subject and cover every encyclopedic angle.
- The article does not need to have a finished storyline.
- The article must be clear, using a logical structure written in plain language.
- The article must follow standard writing conventions of modern English (ie, correct grammar, punctuation and spelling).
- All grammar and spelling must be one hundred percent accurate. The Council of Seers and voting members of the community will inspect all of it to make proper edits.
- … have an introduction of at least one-hundred (100) words that summarizes the entire topic and prepares the reader for the greater detail in the following sections.
- … follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, categorization policy, as well as all other policies.
- … contain enough images where appropriate, but the page is not cluttered or overstocked.
- … ensure that all images in said article follow the standards of sourcing in the Image policy.
- … not be tagged with improvement tags at the time of nomination.
- … have absolutely no red links, as they must be filled with at least stubs or not be linked to at all.
- … have no links in section titles, as this looks messy.
- … have a brief "Personality and traits" section that generalizes the character's said personality
- … 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:
- First, nominate an article you find to be worthy of good article status by putting it at the bottom of the list below and add {{GAnom}} to the nominated article. Please nominate in this format:
- === [[Article name]] ===
- '''[[CS:Article name|Objections and discussion]]''' – '''(0 Seers/0 users/0 total)'''
- Others will object to the nomination if they do not believe that the article is good enough at [[CS:Article name]], which is the review page for the nominated article. They will then supply reasons for doing so and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources)
- Supporters will adjust the article until the objectors are satisfied and vote support beneath the article's nomination
How to vote:
- Remember, you can only vote if you meet the requirements of the voting policy, which is at least one hundred (100) mainspace edits.
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely and keep a sharp eye out for mistakes
- Afterward, either support the article on this page, or visit the nominee's review page to state your objections
- 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.
- 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.
- To be a good article on Star Wars Fanon, a nomination must have at least eight (8) votes, of which at least four (4) must be contributed by Council of Seers. Articles will remain on the nominations track until they receive the required amount of votes or until the author pulls the nomination, but they need to be on the nominations track for at least one week even if they receive the required number of votes before then.
- No article may become a good article if there are still active legitimate objections on its review page. If a majority of Seers deem any objections to be nonsensical and/or of personal preference, and these objections are holding up the passing of a nomination, the objections will be struck out. This will only be done if the nonsensical and/or personal preference objections are holding up the nomination. Because of this, it is required that all users strike out their objections using <s></s> once the nominator has sufficiently corrected them.
The Council of Seers may change a good article nominee into a featured article nominee instead, or vice-a-versa. However, if an author prefers to instead keep his/her article a good or featured nominee, he/she may do so and reject the change. This may not occur, though, if the article is a featured nominee that has been rejected.
In addition, put the number sign, #, next to your name so the votes can be counted. Please sign your posts as well!
Council of Seers, please be sure to place {{CoS}} before each of your votes, to identify all Council of Seers votes.
