| | ---- |
| | # Nominating '''[[Quorahi]]''' due to the detail of events and the fact it's now fully up to date with the timeline. [[User:Nikora Rhan|Nikora Rhan]] ([[User talk:Nikora Rhan|talk]]) 10:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[Fallen Spear]]''' due to its detail and thoroughness, albeit with the need for some minor information updates. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Added eras template so that's at least done. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[The Viper Fang]]''', with the only concern being its extremely short history and lack of eras. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Added eras template [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Needs updating to reflect that the ship was destroyed by the CoM. Still eligible though. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:15, 6 September 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Nominating '''[[The "Flamboyant" Mercorn MKII]]''' due to the detail, good use of imagery, and deck plans, but with the problem of the member now having joined the Rogues and the absence of some minor information required, such as eras. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Yeah, this one might linger on the list for a while. I don't mind giving a DSS to a rogue but he should serve out his probation first given the nature of his CoJ convication. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 20:40, 8 August 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) |
| | # 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) |

| * '''Object:''' While informative, this page is basically no more than a large, point-form list of ship types and names. There is little actual content written with this type of page as it's merely meant to provide background details. When compared to other Featured Articles, which involve a great deal more fiction-writing effort and creativity, I feel this is not the style of page made to be a Featured Article. Furthermore, while it doesn't really matter due to my previous comments, the page is not yet complete as the Naval portion still says "forthcoming". This alone would disqualify the article from being Featured. --[[User:Shadow Taldrya|Shadow Taldrya]] ([[User talk:Shadow Taldrya|talk]]) 01:08, 8 September 2014 (EDT)
| |
| * '''Object:''' I agree that this type of article is probably not something that should be put up as a Featured Article. It is a glorified list, and while pages like these are important, they are not something that should be considered on the same level as a well-written character page or pages focusing on the more fictional elements of the club. ---[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] ([[User talk:Halcyon|talk]]) 20:23, 27 October 2014 (EDT)

| * '''Object:''' This article had previously been objected to, and I don't believe all of the original points have been cleared. The first regards the opening summary, which should be condensed and a little more focused in summarizing the character. The second was a wall-of-text from about 31 ABY to just before 36 ABY. There needs to be a few images placed in here to break up all of the text. The next is the section regarding relationships, which is also a big wall-of-text as well as hard to read due to all of the quotations and how it's formatted. I think this section can be condensed a bit as well and made to be much more readable. Lastly, the OOC portion should not be on a character page like that. Perhaps it can be placed on a User-page instead or somewhere off-wiki with a link to it. ---[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] ([[User talk:Halcyon|talk]]) 20:23, 27 October 2014 (EDT)
