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 which is a candidate for becoming a Featured Article but has not yet become one.

 * 8) …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
 * 9) …No redlinks.

 * 12) …be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See TES:Sourcing for more information.
 * 13) …have all quotes and images sourced.
 * 14) …provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
 * 15) …include a "Personality" section on all character articles.
 * 16) …character articles - include relevant dialogue that does not fit on other pages, such as quest pages.
 * 17) …include a "powers and abilities" section on all relevant character articles, especially for God characters where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
 * 18) …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
 * 19) …contain at least one link to the article subject in another language.
 * 20) …contain a lead and must be, counting the introduction, at least 1000 words long (not including captions, quotes, headers, etc.)
 * 21) Text and images in the article must not violate any current policy of the wiki or any policy that was in place at the time of the featured article nomination. If policy changes, the article must be re-reviewed to ensure it matches the featured article criteria.

Miraak

Neutral

 * While the article is well-written, this is weighed out by the improvement that can be had. Example (talk) 21:39, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 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, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

References out the wazoo, and of course lots of info. Seems fine to me. Ottoman Hold (talk) 01:09, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

We don't have very many Good Articles from. This one is very detailed and is a good candidate for GA. —Atvelonis (talk) 20:50, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Emperor Jarjarkine (Talk) 20:35, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

A ton of info, surprising since it's just a character that appears in a single game. --Shockstorm (talk) 22:35, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

Seems fine, and definitely a detailed article. Ottoman Hold (talk) 01:17, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

Oppose

 * Not to be on the negative end, but the article isn't the best it could be. It also is not nearly long enough. With some change, it could be a GA, but at current length at best it could only be a CA. Ottoman Hold (talk) 01:25, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

 * But needs quotes, especially when she calls the Thalmor a bitch in combat, etc. --Shockstorm (talk) 22:35, January 6, 2016 (UTC)

Neutral
I would support this, but the lack of any quotes at all definitely takes priority, so once that is added it is definitely worthy, but until then, I feel impartial. Ottoman Hold (talk) 01:29, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

 * Seems good to me, except the dates toward the bottom, but that is minor at most, so it can slide. Ottoman Hold (talk) 01:32, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

 * Comments: I had actually thought this one was already a Good Article (if not a featured one?) Regardless... A fully referenced lore article. Definitely worth GA status, IMHO. Timeoin•Say G'Day•View my work 01:59, January 7, 2016 (UTC)
