The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Good Article Nominations

This page is for the nomination of Good articles. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, creatures, or the like. For a list of Good articles, see Category:TESWiki Good Articles.

A Good article is an article that adheres to quality standards, but cannot reach FA status due to its limited content.


 * Good article nominations history

An article must&hellip;

 * 1) …be well-written and detailed.
 * 2) …be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * 3) …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
 * 4) …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on TESWiki.
 * 5) …following the review process, be stable, i.e., does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
 * 6) …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
 * 7) …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic if the length of the article supports it. This is essential in articles over 1000 words but may not be appropriate on articles with limited content.
 * 8) …not be tagged due to an excessive number of redlinks.
 * 9) …have significant information, especially a biography for character articles. For articles under 1000 words in length, comprehensive detail is required with all information covered from all sources and appearances. For articles over 1000 words, broad coverage addressing all major aspects of the topic is sufficient.
 * 10) …be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Project:Sourcing for more information.
 * 11) …have all quotes and images sourced.
 * 12) …provide at least one quote on the article if available. A leading quote at the beginning of the article would be preferred, though not required if no quotes are available. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
 * 13) …ideally include a "personality and traits" section on all character articles if information is available.
 * 14) …ideally include a "powers and abilities" section on relevant character articles, especially for Magic/God characters where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
 * 15) …include a "Trivia" section.
 * 16) …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
 * 17) …counting the introduction and "Trivia" material, be at least 250 words long (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc).

How to nominate:
Below is an example:
 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of good status, putting it at the bottom of the list below. Nominated articles must meet all seventeen requirements stated above.

 * 5) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.

 * I believe that this page is great but, i believe that there is a little problem with this page. The number of dupps. links in the page is pretty amazing. There's lot of them. Also, you may want to add:the gadget of show dupps links. I think it would help you. Emperor Jarjarkine Aldmeri_Dominion.png  Senate Hall  02:35, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Good article nominations
To nominate an article for Good article status, list it here. Nominated articles must meet all seventeen requirements stated above. If the article is considered a "Good article" it will be tagged with the GA template. Also remember to add GAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.

Sload
After being re-hauled, the Sload article is now well-written and properly cited. As such, I think a high quality article such as this should be given the good article status. ☞ Rim < Talk 19:36, May 20, 2015 (UTC)

Support
As nominator. ☞ Rim < Talk 19:36, May 20, 2015 (UTC)

I support this nomination, i've been reading it an, the information is well-sourced, well-written, i'Ve got one thing to say, Well done ! Emperor Jarjarkine   The Ragged Flagon - Cistern  02:38, May 24, 2015 (UTC)

Neutral
It's missing a quote for one thing, but I'm sure that is something that can be added. I want this article to be GA, but until it meets 100% of the requirements I'll remain neutral, I'll switch my vote to support when that happens. —Atvelonis (talk) 18:07, May 21, 2015 (UTC)
