Memory Alpha:Nominations for featured articles

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

This page is for the nomination and discussion of articles that may be potentially included in Memory Alpha's list of featured articles. Featured articles are also displayed on the main page of the wiki. A featured article is an especially well-written, informative, and comprehensive article that covers all available information on a subject.

Any registered user may nominate any article for inclusion in the list of featured articles. When you nominate an article, include a short description of why you think that the article should be featured. If you are nominating an article that you have worked on, please note that fact in your description. The nomination is then open to discussion, and anyone may comment about the inclusion of the article in the list. For voting ("Support" or "Oppose") you have to fulfill some requirements. And, as always, please sign your nominations and comments with "~~~~".

When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to support or oppose the nomination.

A nomination can be resolved if it has been inactive for seven days. It is considered successful if there have been five or more votes, with all objections resolved.

Optionally, a notice that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate may be added to the article by inserting {{fac}} at the top or bottom of the article.

Nominations without objections

• Dukat- Well written, documented, and extensive. One of the best character profiles I've seen. I added a whole lot and I think it looks great. Ryan123450 12:04, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
  • Seconded. -- Redge | Talk 19:11, 11 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Minor oppose. Needs a little cleanup with reference to.. well, references. Style should be adhered to (quotation marks), no need to repeat DS9 constantly, and any that occur in the main article should be removed from the separate section on Appearances. Would support once that is done. Support. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:37, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)

• All Good Things... is, I think, one of the best episode summaries I've seen on MA to date. Ottens wrote most of it. I made some modifications, and I think it is now ready (maybe needs a link/spelling/gramar check, but that's all) -- Redge 21:24, 29 Jul 2004 (CEST)
  • Support, with check. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:44, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
  • You added lots of technobabble indeed. :P Well, supported, of course. Ottens 12:55, 12 Aug 2004 (CEST)
    • That's the best part of the episode! (And it makes for soe interesting links to be filled) ;-) -- Redge | Talk 18:52, 12 Aug 2004 (CEST)

• Excelsior class Lots of people have contributed to this article, to make sure everything was indeed canon, and I believe that all we know about the Excelsior class has been included now. Ottens 12:43, 12 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Would now support this article. Good collaborative work. -- Michael Warren | Talk 01:10, Aug 13, 2004 (CEST)
  • I'm still not happy with those notes, but since that has nothing to do with the article itself, I support. -- Redge | Talk 15:03, 14 Aug 2004 (CEST)

• Janice Rand Self-nominated. I've watched all the early TOS episodes in which Rand's character made an appearance, and I believe all important events from Rand's life have been included on this page. Ottens 12:45, 12 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Needs a good spelling and grammar check, but would support once done. -- Michael Warren | Talk 01:10, Aug 13, 2004 (CEST)

Nominations with objections

• Degra Self-nominated. I think we should put him in as a featured article. He had a big role in the third season of Enterprise. I think that page has all the info we can include.-B-101 1:12 PM (EST) 8/15/2004
  • Oppose. Needs more work. Especially needs expansion with regards to "Stratagem", which is barely featured in the article at all, and is a vital character episode for Degra. Also, a few pronouns wouldn't go amiss. The article is awash with "Degra [is]..." "Degra [was]...", which makes it extremely clunky. -- Michael Warren | Talk 20:09, Aug 15, 2004 (CEST)

• Warp drive - I've almost completely rewritten the article, to make it canon-referenced, and pretty much comprehensive. -- Michael Warren | Talk 01:10, Aug 13, 2004 (CEST)
  • Oppose. Already a very good article, but there is still lots of info that needs to be added to this article. Think of the numerous episodes in Star Trek revolving around a strange phenomenon affecting the Warp drive. Those need to be listed. -- Redge | Talk 17:33, 13 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Although I am in support of Redge, I still think the article is comprehensive enough to be featured. Support nomination. Ottens 13:19, 14 Aug 2004 (CEST)

• Borg. It's not complete yet, but it already has so much so well organised information I feel it would already make a good featured article. -- Redge 20:46, 28 Jul 2004 (CEST)
  • This would make a good featured article, but I think we still need a lot of information there on the Borg in the Delta Quadrant, prior to Endgame. Opposed, for now... Ottens 10:45, 5 Aug 2004 (CEST)
    • You're right. Let's keep this listing for another day, than archive it. -- Redge | Talk 19:12, 11 Aug 2004 (CEST)

• Michael Eddington - Well organised, well written and contributed to by a few different people. Alex Peckover 08:47, Aug 5, 2004 (CEST)
  • I helped write a large chunk of this one, and I agree. Ryan123450 12:04, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
  • Oppose (for now). I find the article clear and conscise. Maybe a bit to conscise. I feel there should be more info added about what we learned in "For the Uniform". -- Redge | Talk 19:11, 11 Aug 2004 (CEST)
  • Oppose. Needs more detail. -- Michael Warren | Talk 19:44, Aug 11, 2004 (CEST)
