1. Reiden needs to be completed so it can be reconsidered for nomination again. Bentre (talk) 06:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
2. Koryn Thraagus has some issues, but actually looks like an interesting bit of history, if only the page of a member Rogue for some time Bentre (talk) 06:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
   1. lists need integrated into larger page
   2. eras tag needs fixed
   3. better linking throughout
   4. remove CSP template at bottom
   5. rectify inappropriate categories
3. Dral Falgorth at a glance looks like a potential candidate as well. Will revisit with pros and cons. Bentre (talk) 09:15, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
4. Zentru'la at a glance could be a potential featured candidate. Will revisit with pros and cons. Bentre (talk) 09:22, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
5. Xolarin might fit the glove for a featured article. At a glance, anyhow. will revisit with pros and cons. Bentre (talk) 11:19, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
6. Rian Taldrya at a glance might make the features of a featured page. Will revisit with pros and cons. Bentre (talk) 11:19, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
7. Teebu Nyrrire is being put on the radar. A thorough read-over is needed to review content for form and tone. Bentre (talk) 11:19, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
   1. spoke to member, informed of potential consideration for Featured status once page is completed. However, page is not formally nominated at this time as it is not complete Bentre (talk) 06:06, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
8. 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. Essik Lyccane (talk) 23:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
9. Vatali Royal Guard 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. Essik Lyccane (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
10. Vatali Empire An extensive piece on the history and major figures of one setting, detailing the societal structure, conflicts, and major rulers involved. It's a good example on how to concentrate upon one faction of a planet while retaining a narrow focus on the essentials. Essik Lyccane (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
11. Kiast (Planet) A detailed history and geography of a major world of Clan Odan-Urr, backed by maps and broken up into eras. It presents a diverse and lived-in environment while keeping to a relatively short word count. Essik Lyccane (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

the Wiki Tribune is continuing to review Clan's categories for additional characters and locations, but don't be afraid to add your suggestions and finish it off with 4 ~'s to sign it!

Process

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…

1. …be well written and detailed.
2. …be written from an unbiased, third-person, objective point of view.
3. …have a complete, detailed biography if the page concerned is a character article.
4. …have a succinct and appropriate lead that can be used for the front page featured box.
5. ...have a properly applied Eras Template at the top of the page where applicable.
6. …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars.
7. …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
8. …not contain an unreasonable number (use common sense) of red links.
9. …not have been previously featured.
10. ...not contain a trivia section comprised of a random assortment of miscellaneous facts. See the corresponding article on Trivia for more details.

How to nominate:

1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
2. 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).
3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
5. Also, if, at least two 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:

1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
   1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
3. 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.
4. 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 may be eliminated from the nominations list.
