| 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. |
|

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

| [[Image:Antei.jpg|left|165px]] '''Nominated by''' --[[Kalak Ragnose]] 17:31, 29 July 2008 (MDT)
| |
| '''Weak Object''' - How up to date is this article? I mean, the history doesn't include anything about the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, which was a pretty big event, so... I would think we would want to make sure it is current before featuring it--[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 15:46, 31 July 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' - Agreed, it needs an update [[User:Derev|Derev]] 17:50, 2 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Support''' Although the article definitely needs an update and more pictures, it is very well-written and looks good. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Support''' Ditto to what Rev andd Derev said. :P -- [[User:Ashura Isradia|Ashura]] 21:18, 24 August 2008 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| '''Object ''' If we feature something, it becomes very widely read by a large percentage of the membership. In my opinion, we shouldn't be featuring out of date articles that could put across incorrect information. [[User:Impetus|Impie]] 13:58, 1 September 2008 (MDT)

| |
| | |
| '''Support''' -- In depth, descriptive, extensive, good introduction especially for an NPC. Could use a tighter finish to his history, but all in all, a well built article. --[[user:Alaris|Alaris Jinn]] 4:08, 13 August 2008 (EST)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' -- History is nice, intro is good, enough pictures to fit the text, but what I am missing is more information on the character himself. How is his personality, what is his fear, what ticks him off. It is important to hold this close to an NPC so that anyone who involves this character in fiction can get it absolutely flawless without having to check previous fictions or bugging the creator. May be good to look into first before featuring this article. --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken 'Ylith' Atema]] 05:08, 13 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' I agree with Ylith, but the article is great. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)

| '''Weak Support''' I agree with Rev and Ylith. It's a good article; iron it out with Ylith's suggestions and it will be a even better article. -- [[User:Ashura Isradia|Ashura]] 21:18, 24 August 2008 (GMT)

| ''Update: Thank you for the feedback so far. I have completed the additions to this article to help reflect the advice given. I cant add any more history as it's still in development in the upcoming run-on's.''

| | |
| '''Support''' -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Strong Support''' - As this is an NPC, and a newbie character so in development anyway, its nicely written. Sure it doesnt have uch history or info but that doesnt need to be, not just yet. Like most character they unfold themselves slowly from Apprentice to Dark Jedi Knight, where they have found their path and grow on from there. Its is a clear slate of stats, which helps a lot to give an impression to others should they write about this character. Maybe some more detail in weapon choices and certain personality flicks (ex: How does she react when overpowered?) to top it off and leave the rest of the development to the flow of time. This is the way all NPC's should be written. --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken 'Ylith' Atema]] 11:34, 20 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Object''' - No matter the reasoning, in relation to other character articles previously featured, this one doesn't hold up as well. Perhaps waiting until the character is more fully developed will help--[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 16:34, 31 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' - An interesting article for a NPC, but I don't think quite ready to be featured. Once the character is fleshed out, perhaps. I also hate having the CS on the page, it looks bad, but that's my opinion--[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 01:07, 1 September 2008 (MDT)

| |

| '''Weak Support''' - It looks good and is a good read but I think it could do with a personality and abilities section. --[[User:KalakRagnose|Kalak]] 09:39, 28 August 2008 (GMT)
| |
| | |
| '''Support''' - Good read, interesting facts, an overall excellent article. It has my vote! -- [[User:Talos Annedu|Talos Annedu]] (aka Galen Marek d'Tana)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' - Not quite as fully detailed as other character articles that have been previously featured. Perhaps a little more attention to expanding the character's history or delving a bit more into it's personality/traits will help.--[[User:Halcyon|Halcyon]] 16:34, 31 August 2008 (MDT)
| |
| | |
| '''Weak Object''' - I'll agree with Halc. History could be expanded more, a bunch of two sentence sections looks bad. There also isn't much other than history. --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 01:07, 1 September 2008 (MDT)
