DJBWiki:Featured article

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.

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 unbiased, non-point of view
3. …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
4. …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
5. …have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
6. …have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
7. …have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
8. …not have been previously featured

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 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:

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 the {{featured}} template 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.

Featured article nominations

List an article and leave your signature for the nomination(s) - additional comments beyond support or object (unless you have concrete reasons as to why you object) are not required and will be deleted.

Alaris Jinn

Nominated by: --Anubis 20:19, 9 November 2008 (MST)

Support - Good article. My only possible objection would be that it seems a little cluttered and in-your-face, but that's a stylistic difference more than anything. Good pictures and detail, no real problems I can identify. ~ Legorii 20:26, 9 November 2008 (MST)

Weak Object - I dunno, something's missing in my opinion. The images could use work along with formatting. Content is good though. ~ Macron 12:33, 11 November 2008 (EST)

Object - One section has "coming soon", which means this article isn't complete. I also think a couple more images are needed in the last half of the article to break up all the text--Halcyon 18:23, 22 November 2008 (MST)

Weak Support I think the article is now complete, but the section "The Final Mark" is a story. Try to refrain from stories (i.e. dialogue and tons of descriptions) and make it more of an informational article. --RevengeX Palpatine 14:18, 24 December 2008 (MST)

Jades "Imperial" Atema

Nominated by: --Tyren Atema 13:17, 1 February 2009 (CET)

Support - This article is well written, easy to read, and has enough pictures that it doesn't become boring. -- Alaris 09:27, 2 February 2009 (MST)

Support It's a nice article. I would like to see more links, though. (By the way, is the name supposed to be "Jade" or "Jades"?) --RevengeX Palpatine 14:10, 8 February 2009 (MST)

Support Very nice job. --Aabs 19:35, 21 February 2009 (MST)

Support - I like it. Definetly a nice article. --Anubis 15:11, 27 February 2009 (MST)

Lyspair

Nominated by: --Aabs 20:17, 21 February 2009 (MST)

Support Excellent piece of SA history. --Taigikori Aybara 20:44, 21 February 2009 (MST)

Support - Nice job, great article. --Anubis 15:11, 27 February 2009 (MST)

Object It's too short and doesn't have enough images. --RevengeX Palpatine 19:31, 27 February 2009 (MST)

Object I agree, it is far too short and too few on detail, images, etc. --Kir Katarn 13:49, 6 March 2009 (MST)

Robin Hawk

Nominated by: -- Alaris 15:03, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Object There is a grammar error or two in the article summary at the top, that would be displayed on the main page should the article be featured. That's a no-no. The formatting is a little strange around the images, those large spaces are unattractive. My only other objection, then, would be the long list of all of RH's promotions. This is not a dossier, and I don't like when people list things like that on their wikis. Fix these things up and I'll support it. ~ Legz 15:20, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Entar

Nominated by: Xathia 18:42, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Support - The image is a little strange, but I think that the article is very well written. It might be a tad low on pictures, but I think there are enough to have a quality article. I like it a lot. ~ Legz 18:46, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Support - Sparse on images, but what the heck: I like the writing and the images present are top notch. Timeros 18:48, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Support - Indeed a little low on images, but you don't really miss them. Other than that, very good writing and wel structured. Strategos 19:01, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Support - Very nice article. The content and formatting looks like a good bit of thought and effort went into this. Less images than many articles, which I personally liked. Malidir 20:13, 11 March 2009 (MDT)

Support - Excellent article. Concise, well written, not overly verbose and the pictures gave it the flare needed to beat out the competition and set the suitably high standards of a wiki featured article. Well done. --Sashar 20:47, 11 March 2009 (MDT)
