| 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. |

| | # Adding '''[[Templar Jensaarai]]''' for discussion [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 18:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[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) |
| | ## Construction template removed so this is fair game. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 05:19, 4 July 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) |

| === [[Alaris Jinn]] ===
| |
| [[Image:Alaris2.jpg|left|165px]] '''Nominated by:''' --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 20:19, 9 November 2008 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - Good article. My only possible objection would be that it seems a little cluttered and in-your-face, but that's a stylistic difference more than anything. Good pictures and detail, no real problems I can identify. ~ [[User:Legorii|Legorii]] 20:26, 9 November 2008 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' - I dunno, something's missing in my opinion. The images could use work along with formatting. Content is good though. ~ [[user:Macron|Macron]] 12:33, 11 November 2008 (EST)
| |
| | |
| '''Object''' - One section has "coming soon", which means this article isn't complete. I also think a couple more images are needed in the last half of the article to break up all the text--[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 18:23, 22 November 2008 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Support''' I think the article is now complete, but the section "The Final Mark" is a story. Try to refrain from stories (i.e. dialogue and tons of descriptions) and make it more of an informational article. --[[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 14:18, 24 December 2008 (MST)

| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - This article is well written, easy to read, and has enough pictures that it doesn't become boring. -- [[User:Alaris|Alaris]] 09:27, 2 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' It's a nice article. I would like to see more links, though. (By the way, is the name supposed to be "Jade" or "Jade'''s'''"?) --[[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 14:10, 8 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' Very nice job. --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 19:35, 21 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - I like it. Definetly a nice article. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 15:11, 27 February 2009 (MST)

| |
| | |
| '''Support''' Excellent piece of SA history. --[[User:Taigikori Aybara|Taigikori Aybara]] 20:44, 21 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - Nice job, great article. --[[User:Anubis Wrath|Anubis]] 15:11, 27 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Object''' It's too short and doesn't have enough images. --[[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 19:31, 27 February 2009 (MST)
| |
| | |
| '''Object''' I agree, it is far too short and too few on detail, images, etc. --[[User:Kir Katarn|Kir Katarn]] 13:49, 6 March 2009 (MST)

| === [[Robin Hawk]] ===
| |
| [[Image:Shikyo_RHversion.jpg|left|165px|]] '''Nominated by:''' -- [[User:Alaris|Alaris]] 15:03, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Object''' There is a grammar error or two in the article summary at the top, that would be displayed on the main page should the article be featured. That's a no-no. The formatting is a little strange around the images, those large spaces are unattractive. My only other objection, then, would be the long list of all of RH's promotions. This is not a dossier, and I don't like when people list things like that on their wikis. Fix these things up and I'll support it. ~ [[User:Legorii|Legz]] 15:20, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - The image is a little strange, but I think that the article is very well written. It might be a tad low on pictures, but I think there are enough to have a quality article. I like it a lot. ~ [[User:Legorii|Legz]] 18:46, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - Sparse on images, but what the heck: I like the writing and the images present are top notch. [[User:Timeros|Timeros]] 18:48, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Support''' - Indeed a little low on images, but you don't really miss them. Other than that, very good writing and wel structured. [[User:Strategos|Strategos]] 19:01, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
| | Every month the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the [[Main Page]] as featured, marked with a Featured icon and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the <code>{{[[Template:Featured article|Featured article]]}}</code> template. Nominees that are inactive for a month may be eliminated from the nominations list. |
