| So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.
| | == Potential Featured Articles == |
| | List an article and note any fixes that would need to be made by the creator before it can become a Featured Article. After adding the article to the list, contact the creator and notify him/her that their article has the potential to be Featured with some minor tweaks. |

| | # '''[[Agron Dyrce]]''' has been coming along. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Needs images in the body to break up the text. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Could use some more linking further down. This might be a time thing, as in Agron just needs more time to develop character history and interactions. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Evelyn Wyvern]]''' is lavishly illustrated and has been getting some love lately. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Even moreso than Agron, this needs more written content. I know the character has the history and relationships to fill this out, so hopefully the nomination will spur Jenni to move some of that to the wiki. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Holding off on the official nomination per the Construction template. Will visit once that's removed. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Dajorran Marshals]]''' has seen a lot of recent development, emulating [[Voidbreaker]], which was featured a while ago. The content is less developed given the newness of the unit, but it's worth discussing. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Adding '''[[Fort Blindshot]]''' for consideration following Tor's recent updates. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 11:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: AI art. Not a dealbreaker but I try to avoid it. |
| | # Nora mentioned '''[[Selika Roh]]''' in chat--kind of surprised it wasn't featured in the past. It hasn't had a real update since 2020 but a little spring cleaning could get it there. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | #'''[[Reiden Karr]]''' needs to be completed so it can be reconsidered for nomination again. [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 01:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Section ''Darkness Elevated (34 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | ## CON: Section ''Collective Assault & A New Legacy (35 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | # '''[[Rian Taldrya]]''' at a glance might make the makings of a featured page. |
| | ## CON: Slight expansion of the childhood section would strengthen this page. |
| | ## CON: "Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed." in the Teen Years section needs to be expanded/completed. |
| | ## CON: Rule of Tyranny needs expanded |
| | ## CON: tone and greater interlinking need addressed |
| | ## if the above are addressed or otherwise remedied the page can be considered for Feature. |
| | ## It's got good bones but it's pretty dated. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Eilen Ru'tyari]]''' is at the very least worth examining. While brief, it offers a very comprehensive history on the character and offers a detailed arc and development to follow. The only concern I might have is that there are relatively few images present on the page. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 23:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## Agreed, including on the lack of images. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Vatali Central Military]]''' The page is missing an image fitted into the infobox, but it is otherwise comprehensive and well detailed, especially for a background element of a culture. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 17:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## I concur. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Iwu Koraha Mahue]]''' is well though out, highly detailed, and offers a wealth of images. It's a good example of how to flesh out a great deal and add it to a world while keeping it concise. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Very dated, as the subject matter hasn't been relevant since early 2016. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Orian Frequency]]''' is very cool but needs images and a little love. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 16:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC) |

| |
| *'''Weak Support''' - [[User:Macron|Macron]]- needs a lead pic- 23;56, 7 mar 07 (EST)
| |
| *'''Weak Support''' - Without a character pic it's just not "complete" [[image:km1.png]] 21:14, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - Solid article. Image unnecessary to visualize the detail given. - [[User:Oberst|Oberst]] 00:54, 28 March 2007 (MDT)
| |
| ** Needs a pic. It's a requirement for Featured Articles. [[image:km1.png]] 16:06, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

| | |
| *'''Support''' (Fixed, thanks) -- [[User:Vladimir|Vladimir]] 07:25, 22 March 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Oppose''' - I'd be more inclined to support this page if it dealt more with HEK rather than it's namesake. - [[User:Oberst|Oberst]] 13:46, 23 April 2007 (MDT)
| |
| * Added Images to the page. [[Dismal]] 20:44, 23 March 2007 (EST)

| ==='''[[Xayun Erinos]]'''===
| |
| [[Image:XayunWiki.jpg|left|150px]]
| |
| Nominated by [[User:Welshman|Welshman]] 11.21, 11th of April 2007
| |
| | |
| '''Note:''' Until the [[Wiki Tribune]] removes his '''Strong Opposition''' this article will not be added to the Queue.
| |
| *'''Support''' - [[Juda]]
| |
| *'''Support''' - [[Karel]]-- A well written article.
| |
| *'''Support''' - [[Archean]]
| |
| *'''Support''' - This would stand as a really good textual example of concise writing in both the fiction and non-fiction form. Through judicious word usage, you learn more about the character than you do through an overly effusive and flowery use of language (e.g. Hemmingway, Rich, Proulx). - [[User:Oberst|Oberst]] 11:55, 11 April 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - While small compared to other featured articles it is by no means less worthy, written in such a manner that allows the reader to mentally picture and understand the character, big props! [[Kieran]]
| |
| *'''Support''' - Concise and well written, and to the point. I say feature. Timeros
| |
| *'''Support''' - I wouldn't have nominated this article if I did not think it worthy of being a featured article. Whilst the article isn't huge like some others you get exactly what you want to know. Isn't that the point of a wiki? Welsh
| |
| *'''Support''' - [[Malidir]]-- A truly well done piece of work, that reminds us all of where we come from, while hinting at where we are going in the future. Splendid!
| |
| | |
| *'''Strong Opposition''' - [[Kaine Mandaala]]-- The article does not adhere to the standards of what is expected in a Featured Article. Unless it's cleaned up I have to veto this one despite it's support. Nominate articles based on their content and formatting, not their subject. Support listed above Oberst is not really ''supportive'' either.
| |
| **Article has been updated, though I still say previous support wasn't very helpful. Because you think someone is ''cool'' isn't grounds for nomination. -- [[Kaine Mandaala|KM]]
| |
| *'''Weak Oppose''' - Just don't really like it. Doesn't seem detailed enough. That's just my opinion. [[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 20:24, 11 April 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - The following has been resolved: ''There are a lot of words in that wiki page that could use some linkage...That's the power of a wiki. Harness it.'' [[Orv Dessrx]] 08:11, 15 April 2007 (EDT)

| ==='''[[Sashar]]'''===
| |
| [[Image:Sashar2.jpeg|left|100px]]
| |
| Nominated By - [[User:Oberst|Oberst]] 14:31, 16 April 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Weak Support''' [[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 11:41, 20 April 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - Well written and detailed and an interesting read throughout, my only small critique is that it could benifit from some pictures during the history. [[User:Kieran|Kieran]] 12:13, 28 April 2007 (GMT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - Very well written and interesting article. [[User:Karel|Karel]] 14:15,13 May 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Strong Support''' -Thought out and well written, top marks, [[Juda]] 12:10, 15 May 2007 (GMT)
| |
| *'''Weak Support''' - There are a lot of words that should be linked to other articles. The first sections start off strong, but then linking just doesn't happen later on in the page. - [[Orv Dessrx]] 08:14, 15 May 2007 (EDT) - Fixed. [[Sashar]]
| |
| *'''Support''' Great article. I saw a few minor spelling errors, and it could use a few more links. Otherwise, very interesting.[[User:Macron|Macron]] 18:29, 5/22/07 (EST)
| |
| *'''Weak Support''' A good article, relative to the majority of others, but I suggest that you place a few images in the character history where there are large chunks of text. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 14:18, 7 June 2007 (MDT)

| *'''Support''' - Very nice article, information-wise and pictures. I really like the character image. Great job [[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 16:51, 23 May 2007 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - Nice, good info and graphics. Well written and interesting. [[User:Macron]] 16:11, 4 June 2007 (EST)
| |
| *'''Support''' Well-written article, although a few of the images could be shrunk a little bit. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 14:18, 7 June 2007 (MDT) <--- Pictures rescaled, thanks -- [[User:Ashura Isradia|Ash]] 21:00, 9 June 2007 (GMT)
