The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a good article nomination that was unsuccessful. Please do not modify it.

Preparing for War

In the appearances section, the "Vehicles" part seems to be missing some. Please complete it (one would be the TIE fighters). Also missing some in the "Miscellanea" part (like Tattoo). This list could receive some more work.
- How's that? 501st dogma^(talk) 14:09, September 1, 2013 (UTC)
~~More soon.~~ Winterz (talk) 01:45, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

The first possible outcome is that despite the trouble of finding StarForge Station, - what kind of trouble? You mention it continuously moves throughout the nebula, but why is it specifically hard to find? Does the nebula have something to do with it?
- Better?
In the BTS, the phrases "more Canon" and "least Canon" are troubling. It would be preferable to refer to them as the assumed outcomes based on subsequent adventures; the rest of the FOP proceeds on the basis that the Far Orbit is an Alliance-allied vessel, which would render the Far Orbit not docking at StarForge non-canon.
- There you go.
  - I think explicitly stating that all further adventures proceed on the assumption that the Far Orbit is an Alliance-allied vessel is needed. - Sir Cavalier of One^{(Squadron channel)} 12:24, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
    - How's that? :P 501st dogma^(talk) 20:36, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
~~If you source one entry in the Appearance template, I think they all need to be sourced.~~ - Sir Cavalier of One^{(Squadron channel)} 09:58, September 5, 2013 (UTC)
- That took a long time to ref them all... >.> 501st dogma^(talk) 22:20, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

~~Why is the Appearances section referenced?~~
- The Mid Rim was not mentioned in the source, but still appeared, and thus had to be reffed. Cav made me ref the rest.
~~Is "nitwit" a term from the source?~~
- Yep.
~~"an important Non-Human crew member offends a group of Human racists" - I don't believe the word is racist here. Cade Calrayn 23:25, September 12, 2013 (UTC)~~
- The source uses it, so I used it here. Thanks for looking it over. 501st dogma^(talk) 23:56, September 12, 2013 (UTC)

"Twelve pages long, the illustrations for the adventure scenario were done by Joe Corroney." - The illustrations were 12 pages long? Perhaps rephrase this.
"As the first scenario, Preparing for War had no adventure preceding it," - Surely redundant.
"However, as this completely dooms the mission because StarForge Station will have nothing to do with the frigate anymore, this possibility is deemed non-canon as it harms future missions." - A bit clunky, perhaps rephrase.
The continuity should note the extent to which elements that first appeared in this scenario appeared either in later scenarios or other EU work.

- Yeah, this is over 1500 words. Per rule 17 (in turn stemming from this CT), this can't be a GA and needs to be taken to the FAN page. Menkooroo (talk) 04:11, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Try to use the new {{WEGCite}} for your references. WEG has been deprecated. JangFett ^(Talk) 17:46, July 18, 2013 (UTC)
- The new template is screwing up for me. When I do this: {{WEGCite|book=The Far Orbit Project|text=|story=Preparing for War|stext=}} it shows like this : (little icon thingymabob) "[[Preparing for War|]]"—[[The Far Orbit Project|]]. 501st dogma^(talk) 00:48, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
  - If you read the template, both text and book are required. :P So do |book=The Far Orbit Project|text=''The Far Orbit Project'' JangFett ^(Talk) 15:55, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
    - There. Now I've got to fix a billion other references.... 501st dogma^(talk) 17:58, July 28, 2013 (UTC)

Nomination is well over 1,000 words, a violation of Rule 17. This article needs to go to FAN for status. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:15, October 21, 2013 (UTC)
