| | ---- |
| | # 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) |

| |
| | |
| *'''Strong Support'''- This article is one of the best written character articles in the DBWiki community and offers an indepth and rich history of the character, organization of the character's DB career, and rich images to compliment it. [[User: Talos|Talos Erinos]]
| |
| | |
| *'''Strong Support'''- I've always thought this is what character articles should strive to be. - [[User:Solus Gar|Solus Gar]] 20:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| *'''Weak Objection'''- Far too few images throughout the history portion of the wiki. Adding about six would make it more appealing. Still, very well written. - [[User:Archangel|Archangel]] 03:31, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| *'''Weak Objection'''- Like Archangel says, but the use of the == is a bit excessive, you could just bold the text instead, which will help out with overall look and feel. [[User:Fremoc|Fremoc]], [[Fist of the Brotherhood]] 14:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| *'''Weak Objection'''- I agree with the past few comments that a few more images would make this perfect. Just too much text without anything to break it up --[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 18:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| *'''Comment'''- I've left this article in the queue for a while because it's close to featured article status, but no improvements have been made in that time (and we just haven't had a wide selection here...). Is anyone interested in finding a few images to push it to featured article? --[[User:BenevolentWhiner|Benevolent Whiner]] <small>([[User talk:BenevolentWhiner|talk]] - [[dossier:2706|dossier]])</small> 19:57, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

| |
| | |
| * '''Support''' - This article has come miles from its original incarnation, and is testament that helping with unit wiki articles pays off --[[User:Mirado|Mirado]] 21:49, 31 July 2012 (MDT)
| |
| * '''Strong Support''' - This article is well-written and frequently updated as the character's fiction evolves. It also has a solid number of images in relation to the amount of text and is well-formatted. This is what a character wiki page should look like. --[[User:Locke|Locke]] 21:55, 31 July 2012 (MDT)
| |
| *'''Support''' - This article shows skilled writing prowess and the ability to form a cohesive backstory and developing storyline for a character. --[[User:Kratus|Kratus]] 23:03, 31 July 2012 (CST)
| |
| * '''Weak Support''' - While overall this article is strong, it needs to be polished somewhat mechanically. Certain sections can be tightened, while others expanded upon. That way, you have a great article instead of just a good one. --[[User:Ronovi Tavisaen|Ronovi]], 14:34, 31 July 2012 (PST)

| |
| | |
| * '''Strong Support''' - This article has everything: a detailed exposition into the Character that is [[Socorra]], an inkling into her beginnings, and a clear development of her past and present pursuits (and successes) in the DB so far. And it has pictures. Everyone loves pictures. I wholeheartedly advocate this article as a featured article. --[[User:Wuntila|Wuntila]] 19:01, 9 August 2012 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| * '''Strong Support''' - I fully agree with Wun. Socks is a very capable writer, and that shows in her wiki article, as I find no real errors. The article contains all of the elements of a featured article, and I think beyond the checklist of having pictures, links, history, personality, and so on, this article does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of Socorra as a character. I hope that this article is featured, and soon. --[[User:Legorii|Legz]] 22:27, 9 August 2012 (MDT)
