Bo-Katan Kryze

  • Nominated by: XXLVenom998 (Surprise me!) 14:17, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: Improved the article, has no redlinks, has sources, notes and appearances, has "personality and traits", "skills and abilities", and "behind the scenes" sections, has no templates (besides spoiler) etc. Would be great to see a Clone Wars article as a GA.

  • Hey, Venom. It's great to see you nominating something for GA, which is why I'm sad to say that this article is nowhere near ready. Everything needs to be sourced --- every item in the infobox, and every paragraph in the article body. Right now the sourcing is pretty sporadic; the infobox isn't fully sourced, and nothing in the Biography is. Quotes should never be added in the middle of a section like there's currently one halfway through "Takeover of Mandalore;" they should only fall at the beginning of sections. Personality and traits & Skills and abilities both need a lot of expansion from the available information, as does the biography in general. It's generally best to give an article a complete or near-complete rewrite before nominating it for status --- an article with this many appearances and sources would definitely take more than a single hour to get ready; I recommend withdrawing the nomination and starting work from scratch. Dedicate at least a few days to the project to ensure that everything's ready. Menkooroo (talk) 14:29, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
  • A lot of info has been added by various contributors since the most recent The Clone Wars episode aired. The result is that the episode is currently summed up in a way-too-short, unsourced paragraph. It should be expanded, cleaned up, and sourced. It could use an image; the entire article could use a few more images, in fact. Menkooroo (talk) 05:06, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

Comments

  • Besides what Menk already mentioned (which I totally back up), you should look out for the redirects, considering the article has plenty of them. One solution to this, but not the best and usually a not encourageable method, would be correctly pipelinking the redirects. If you're not aware how to locate these redirects go to "My preferences" above and in the "Gadgets" section, select the option to "Highlight all redirects orange."

    • Please have a look at it now, I sourced everything that was possible. --XXLVenom998 (Surprise me!) 17:33, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
      • Hmm, that was probably directed to Menkooroo, as I asked you to fix the redirects and you still didn't. Regardless, you should follow Menk's advise and remove this (just until it has received an overall improvement) from the GANs page as it still is work in progress and the Nominations' page isn't for that. Be sure to follow the Wookieepedia:Layout Guide and other policy guidelines to help you understand what is the least required to nominate an article. Winterz (talk) 17:50, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
  • As an addendum, all of the sources need to be entirely checked for information on her, per GAN Rule 3. There's a lot of missing information from Shadow Conspiracy that ties into her personality and motivations. There's also other Sources that haven't been listed in the article, including more Encyclopedia entries, all relevant episode guides on StarWars.com, and issues of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Comic UK and Star Wars: The Clone Wars Magazine, to say the least. All of those need to be checked for information to expand the article. Looking at the amount of appearances she has had, I would estimate that the article should be at least 3,000 words, which would mean it would be ineligible as a GAN and would have to go straight to the FAN page, per GAN Rule 17. That would be after the article is expanded, but just note that's where it ideally should be in its complete form. CC7567 (talk) 17:52, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Vote to remove nomination (AC only)

ACvote Per above, the article is far from complete. Until the nominator is ready, this nom should be removed from this page. JangFett (Talk) 04:22, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
  • Withholding my vote for now. JangFett (Talk) 04:24, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
  1. ACvote IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:07, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
  2. ACvote I respect the nominator's desire to promote the article, but in its current state it requires more work than the nomination and review process should have to wait for. Any experienced article writers would be happy to aid the nominator in improving the article before it's ready for the GAN. CC7567 (talk) 16:19, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
  3. ACvote I was willing at first to give the nominator a chance to work on the article during the nomination, but I see an almost non-existent editing presence here, as the nominator hasn't even touched this article in over a week. Considering the massive amounts of new information that is constantly coming in on this character, this isn't good enough to warrant letting this fester on the nomination page.
