| * '''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)

The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best DJBWiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.
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, contract the creator and notify him/her that their article has the potential to be Featured with some minor tweaks.
- Farrin Xies -- Needs just a few small fixes. A main, in-character quote at the top of the page, and either the section "Steps Into Leadership" completed or removed.
Outdated Section Below
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.
An article must…
- …be well written and detailed
- …be unbiased, non-point of view
- …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
- …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
- …have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
- …have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
- …have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
- …not have been previously featured
For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.
How to nominate:
- First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
- Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
- Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".
How to vote:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
- As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
- Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".
Also remember to add {{Nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
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 {{Featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.
