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

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 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 Sunday 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.

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--Aabs 15:46, 31 July 2008 (MDT)

Weak Object - Agreed, it needs an update 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. -- RevengeX Palpatine 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)


Admiral Jesec Dirium

Nominated by Vladet Xavier 19:06, 11 August 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. --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. --Draken 'Ylith' Atema 05:08, 13 August 2008 (MDT)

Support I agree with Ylith, but the article is great. -- RevengeX Palpatine 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)


Aleho Ruoxf

Nominated by Ashura 19:18, 19 August 2008 (GMT)

Object Honestly, I'm not feeling it. The character history isn't particularly creative, and, overall, the article simply seems lacking. I'm sure that it will be ready to be featured when you give the character more time and think up details and interesting side plots. -- RevengeX Palpatine 13:44, 19 August 2008 (MDT)
