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.

  • Supported Tyrant 17:10, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)Tyrant

  • Support. Good, well rounded article. -- SmokeDetector47 00:53, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)

  • Support pending a few more pictures to add (namely the TOS Romulan cloak) and to a lesser degree a note regarding the topic from "The Die is Cast".--Gvsualan 22:11, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Support. -- SmokeDetector47 00:53, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)

• Telek R'Mor: an article I made a modest effort in making what it is today. --Gvsualan 01:08, 13 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Support pending. I don't know if guest characters should or can be featured at all. Nervertheless, it's a good article. --BlueMars 17:41, 13 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Strong support. Anything can be an FA, provided it is of good enough quality. Consider the discussion when I nominated USS Equinox, my own similar "guest character" article. -- Michael Warren | Talk 20:13, 13 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Supported. It has everything a featured article needs. Ottens 16:29, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Support. Lots of info on a relatively minor character, which makes it all the more worthy of featured status. -- SmokeDetector47 00:53, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)

• Emissary. Extensive and well sorted information on the Emissary of the Prophets. Good work. --BlueMars 18:21, Dec 24, 2004 (CET)
  • Supported. --Gvsualan 01:08, 13 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • Supported. I see no reason why this shouldn't be a featured article, it's a very good write-up of all we know about the Emissary. Perhaps an image from What You Leave Behind can be included, when Sisko meets the Prophets? Ottens 16:29, 15 Feb 2005 (GMT)

• Call to Arms - I know I wrote but I think its a good page with excellent pictures-Rebelstrike2005 20:56, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)
  • An extended write-up of the episode, with good use made of existing images. I see no reason why this one shouldn't be featured. Ottens 18:15, 16 Feb 2005 (GMT)
    • Supported. I agree-Excelsior 11:07, 17 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Nominations with objections

• Leonard H. McCoy -- Very well written with many source references with no glaring or obvious omissions; good use of image inclusion. Appreciative apocrypha inclusion with appropriate formatting. | THOR 19:21, 8 Feb 2005 (CET)

Unfortunately I disagree at the moment. For one I believe an article needs to be 95-100% complete before it is nominated and, for certain, featured. This, in my opinion is maybe only at 80%. I have contributed an immense amount of material to the article and it is still not completed to what I think is required for McCoy. I've "hidden" (ie. <!--- --->) a number of things in the edit portion of the article that I still wish to see in the article, just haven't had the time or DVD sources to add it. But, in short, there is virtually ZERO movie data in the article, just generic summaries, definately not enough to call it "complete". --Gvsualan 19:50, 8 Feb 2005 (CET)

Very well written, but agree with Gvsualan. Needs to be all-complete before being featured... Ottens 23:42, 12 Feb 2005 (GMT)

• Equinox, Part I and Equinox, Part II. Self-nomination, just added all details to this episode which I can think of. A few dead links at the moment, but I'm working on them -- MiChaos 19:09, 7 Nov 2004 (CET).
  • Supported, but like Parallels, needs some pictures... Of course, thats not a reason to seriously object, but a suggestion. Ottens 19:20, 8 Nov 2004 (CET)
