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 fullfil 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

Jonathan Archer

Having just read this article, I think that it is very detailed, there are plenty of pictures to break up the text, everything looks really good. As one of the "main captains", it has to be detailed, and this has been done very well. Dave 01:44, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support. I was just reading this article and thought the same thing. Very well written article. TrekFan 01:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
• Conditional Support. Just want to know what still needs to be cited in the article- once that it resolved, I support this being a FA.--31dot 23:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
• Support. I agree with those before me that this is a well written article and worthy of FA status – Melak 05:26, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: Anyone else want to vote? Dave 07:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support. I like this article and also the bunch of information in it. For the few "incite" pna's: Should be expanded. And maybe a gallery of his love interests would look good (?). But I think it should be a featured one. – Tom 09:57, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Nominations with objections

Jean-Luc Picard

The Jean-Luc Picard article is very detailed, including lots of references, images and a timeline of events, as well as relevant quotes and detailed background information. I would like to nominate it for FA status. TrekFan 12:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose: My main objection to this being a featured article is the quote which has come and gone several times from the top of the article; in fact, that single quote has sparked at least three edit wars. This is not the marking of a featured article if agreement cannot even come to what quote we should have up there. Not to mention there is frequent editing on this article and it is not all that stable with reverts, pasting, and removed-readded material appearing and disappearing quite frequently. I do like the article, but alas I must object for now. -FC 03:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support: This is a fantastic article, very well detailed. As for the quote, a suggestion I would make is perhaps Admiral J.P. Hanson's line from TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II", which went: "I've never known anyone with more drive, determination or more courage than Jean-Luc Picard." Dave 07:01, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment - A fitting quote. I have added it to the page. TrekFan 15:11, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose for now. I too like the article. I think it is extremely detailed and has virtually everything we know about Picard in it. I do have a few concerns, some minor:
  1. One is the section in appendices "References in Other Trek Series". The whole section is in-universe, so it needs an in-universe title.
  2. I don't like the idea of the "Miscellaneous Information" section. This can surely be incorporated elsewhere into the article.
  3. I can't help but feel the relationships section, while nicely detailed for each person, is rather selective. Shouldn't Troi and Wesley get a short section each?
  4. His actions in the Klingon arc are noted in the intro paragraph, but I feel they should have their own section. Career-wise, they're certainly as significant as his encounters with the Borg and Q.– Cleanse 01:49, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
• Comment - I have changed the title (point #1) to "References by other people". I will look at incorporating point #2 into the article itself. - TrekFan 02:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
• Support: While I do believe some of the points made here are valid, I also believe that this article is well written, and more then qualifies for FA as is. Melak ^talk 18:14, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
