==  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.

<big>''An article must&hellip;''</big>
# '''[[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)
## Holding off on the official nomination per the Construction template. Will visit once that's removed. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:17, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
# '''[[Dajorran Marshals]]''' has seen a lot of recent development, emulating [[Voidbreaker]], which was featured a while ago. The content is less developed given the newness of the unit, but it's worth discussing. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
# Adding '''[[Fort Blindshot]]''' for consideration following Tor's recent updates. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 11:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
## CON: AI art. Not a dealbreaker but I try to avoid it.
# 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)

==[[Telekinetics]]==
[[Image:GildedTelekinetics.jpg|left|165px]] '''Nominated by''' --[[user:Macron|Macron]] 18:05 June 27th, 2008 (EST)
 
'''Support''' --[[Tsainetomo Keibatsu|Tsainetomo]] 19:15 June 27th, 2008 (EST)
 
'''Support''' --[[User:Mal'ari'carun|Alaric]] 20:25, 27 June 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Support'''  - Aren't Clan Powers under revision? --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken &#39;Ylith&#39; Atema]] 12:45, 28 June 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Object''' - As I recall, the whole clan power system is under revision, as Ylith said. I don't think an article that will likely soon become obsolete is suitable for a featured article.  Another thing, I don't think Force Push should be a clan power since it's one of the most well known and widely used power across SW.  Beside the problems with the subject though, it has been very well written. [[User:Impetus|Impie]] 01:28, 30 June 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Object'''  - I believe this should wait until the Clan Powers system is revamped and this article gets a chance to be re-written. It really is a nicely written article, though. [[User:Timbal|Timbal]] 10:23, 17 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Support''' This is a very nice article, but, as the three above said, Clan Powers are being revised. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Object''' - I agree with the above --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 01:59, 29 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Support''' --[[User:Dismal|Dismal]] 02:08, 2 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Support''' Could be a bit longer, but looks good. --[[user:Macron|Macron]] 11:57, 3 July 2008 (EST)
 
'''Weak Object''' Its not a bad startbut it need a whole lot more to become featured. Maybe some more info about your character. Personality, clothing, weapons, why he uses those specifically, you name it. Try to give it more detail instead of just a history summary.
 
[edit]: It's better, but it could still use some detail on your character itself. Personality, skills, trade maybe? Give a clear image of your character so others can use it in say, the ACC or Run ons. You're on the right track though. My vote stays the same. --[[User:Draken 'Ylith' Atema|Draken &#39;Ylith&#39; Atema]] 12:24, 5 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Object''' Again, this is a decent start to what could be an eventual featured article, but at the moment it's a bit weak. Basically, this is just a second of Ylith's objection. --[[user:Alaris|Alaris Jinn]] 2:21, 14 July 2008 (EST)
 
'''Weak Object''' - I agree with Draken, it does need a bit more. Right now it's a decent article, but it's not Featured Article worthy. [[User:Timbal|Timbal]] 10:31, 17 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Weak Support''' It has all of the "necessary" attributes for a Featured article, but you should take Ylith's advice. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Revised''' -- I've revised my wiki. Check it out and amend objects/supports as needed. --[[User:Laigerick|Laigerick]] 11:46, 23 July 2008 (MDT)

'''Object''' Could do with an introduction. [[User:Impetus|Impie]] 13:00, 17 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Object''' It needs an introduction and simply more "meat."  A few more pictures wouldn't hurt either. -- [[User:RevengeX|RevengeX Palpatine]] 06:14, 19 July 2008 (MDT)
 
'''Object''' - I agree with the above. Intro, and it's just looks wordy and bland, something pics usually solve. It's just doesn't look like a featured article... yet... --[[User:Aabsdu|Aabs]] 02:00, 29 July 2008 (MDT)
 
Object - It isnt any more special than your average ship page. Some extra pictures and an intro, maybe some special features or details about this ship.

What A Wonderful Smell You've Discovered...
This article has become severely out of date and is currently flagged for revision by the DJBWiki Staff.
After cleanup is complete, please place a note on the article's talk page and remove this message.

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.

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.

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.


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.
