A "comprehensive article" is an article that contains all information regarding the topic. Often, "comprehensive articles" cannot reach Featured or Good Article status due to their limited content. This process is intended to recognize articles that contain all relevant canon information, yet are still under the 250 word limit required for a Good Article. The purpose of this is twofold—firstly, to help users distinguish what is a stub, and what is merely a short article with no further relevant material to be added, and, more importantly, to highlight for the reader when they are reading something that has been judged definitely "comprehensive"—that is, a guarantee to the reader that whatever they are reading contains the sum total of all available content on that topic.
Nominations and promotions of the Comprehensive article process are overseen by a collective of users known as the "EduCorps," which is made up of the Inquisitorius, the AgriCorps, and various other experienced users who are considered qualified to adequately judge the nominated material.
Lucasfilm Ltd. and its many licensees continue to expand the Star Wars universe. Since new information might become available, it may be necessary to revoke a "comprehensive article's" status. A forum will be used to nominate articles that have fallen out-of-date. Members of the EduCorps will then post a warning template on that page, and a grace period of one week will be instituted in which the article can be improved. If there is a significant amount of new information, it is likely that once updated, the article will become eligible for Good article status, and thereby ineligible for Comprehensive article status.
…be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
…follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia. This is, of course, within reason. If a topic only has a very limited degree of content that cannot be divided up into the relevant article sections, it is not required that it follow the Layout Guide precisely. This is to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
…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.
…not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
…have no redlinks.
…have all relevant canon information presented.
…be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Wookieepedia:Sourcing for more information.
…have all quotes and images sourced.
…provide at least one relevant quote on the article if available.
…include a "Behind the scenes" section for in-universe articles.
…counting the introduction, the article body, and "Behind the scenes" material, must not exceed 250 words in length (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc). Any articles exceeding the limit should be taken to the Good article nominations page for consideration.
…if the nominated article reaches 200 words or greater, the nominator must either provide an intro or draft an intro and provide a link to the revision in the nomination, showing that the intro does not elevate the article over 250 words. Exceptions can be made for articles wherein the majority of the text is in the "Behind the scenes" section.
How to nominate:
First, nominate an article you find is worthy of comprehensive status, putting it at the bottom of the list below. Nominated articles must meet all thirteen requirements stated above.
Add {{CAnom}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
Be sure to place sign in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article in accordance with the established rules.
Nominators and supporters will adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied. Objectors may also make alterations—if there is any reason for contention on a given point, it should be settled in a civil manner in the nomination field itself.
Users may not vote on their own articles.
There is no limit to the amount of nominations a given user can submit at any given time.
How to vote:
Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
Afterward, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
There are several ways in which an article can receive the required number of votes. Within a 48-hour period of nomination, only EduCorps votes will count towards the total, although anyone may choose to vote in that window. If four members of the EduCorps support a nomination in that window [0 to 48 hours post-nomination], and there are no outstanding objections, the article can be considered a "Comprehensive article" and be tagged with the {{Eras|comp}} template 48 hours after the initial nomination. The talk page will also be tagged with the {{CA}} template. When the 48 hours are up, any user's votes will contribute towards the total. If two EduCorps member has voted for an article after a week, three regular votes will be required. After the 48 hour period, an article can still also pass with just three EduCorps votes.
Once a nomination is successful, it will be placed on the Comprehensive article list. Instructions on how to archive nominations, successful or otherwise, can be found here. Anyone can archive a nomination—just make sure it has the correct number of votes, has been nominated for at least a week (or 48 hours if there are four EC votes), and that there are absolutely no outstanding objections. If you are not sure how to do this, just ask, and someone will likely be more than willing to help you. Also, if you think you can slip one past us, think again—someone is always watching you.
All nominations will be considered idle and are subject to instantaneous removal by EduCorps members if objections are not addressed, or at least not answered, after a period of 1 week.
Please remember to archive your nomination beforehand if you plan on taking it to the Good Article Nominations page.
Can you specify what kind of book it is in the Bts? (novel, young reader, etc.)
Added that it was a novel. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:02, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Just remember to link to novel next time (even though I'm not really sure why we have that article.) I did it for you this time. - PrincessGLG 12:08, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
I'm not quite sure, but I think you need an eras tag. - PrincessGLG 21:09, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
After further looking I'm still not sure if the article needs an eras tag. I have been looking at CAs on technology and some have eras tags, but others don't. For example, Jizz-box and Gravcouch do, but Holoplaque doesn't. So unless someone with more experience than me can say for sure which way it should be, I'll leave it up to you. - PrincessGLG 11:34, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
I reckon an Eras tag would make sense since the technology might only be available in specific eras. I've added it but will remove it if someone comes and tells me it shouldn't be there. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:02, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Is Heklu supposed to be capitalized? In the BTS it is not. Is this correct, or a mistake?501stdogma(talk) 12:10, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
It's not meant to be capitalised. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:05, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Bob
In page ranges, be sure to use an n-dash rather than a simple dash. You get an n-dash by typing – instead of just typing -. So, for example, typing pp. 1–3 gives you pp. 1–3. (You'll have to read this comment in edit mode, since the nowiki command doesn't seem to be working right now...)
Sudlow's compilation was 1998, no '88, right? ~Savage 14:30, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Silly mistype on my part. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:47, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Your link to the roleplaying game is currently going to the Wizards of the Coast version. Be sure for all these WEG articles that you're pointing to the West End RPG! :) ~Savage 14:35, May 12, 2013 (UTC)
Fixed and I'll go through fixing everything else. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:47, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Please check your linking, I see about three things you missed linking to.
I got one with swamps but what are the other two things that need linking? Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:54, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
City can be linked and roleplaying game can be linked to video game. - PrincessGLG 16:34, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Ah I shouldn't of missed city but why would Roleplaying game be linked to video game? It was a pen and paper RPG. Ayrehead02 (talk) 17:27, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
Ah, sorry, I must have read that wrong. I'm not really sure what I was thinking. - PrincessGLG 19:00, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
The double bracket on your infobox doesn't need to be on a separate line. - PrincessGLG 12:43, May 13, 2013 (UTC)
"Hutt military force" makes it sound like it consisted entirely of Hutts, but I don't think that's likely. Would "military force" alone work?
Changed as you suggested. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:09, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
Alien Encounters isn't just a compilation of "Alien Encounters" articles; it includes every alien species statted by WEG to that point, minus those in previous aliens-only books. You might indicate this by simply adding a couple words, like "a compilation that included all the 'Alien Encoutners' articles" or something.
Added. I should probably go back through nearly all my other nominations to check this... Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:09, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
It's probably worth adding an extra line that Rilileb remained free of Hutt domination after Velgrugha's efforts failed. ~Savage 15:48, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
We updated the references policy here so now we have to source articles even if they have only one source.Commander Code-8G'day, mate 06:14, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Please properly reference Maul's status as a Dathomirian Zabrak. And could you reference the last sentence of the BTS?—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 18:09, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
The BTS currently makes it sound like TFU 2 was exclusively at GameStop, rather than the Maulkiller. Otherwise, good article. I've always wanted someone to do this one.—Cal Jedi(Personal Comm Channel) 13:34, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
Though the article is ambigcanon, the era of Maulkiller's potential existence is known. Perhaps the Era tag could be filled, instead of removed. Also, the GameStop page mentions that the silver lightsaber crystals are a perfect fit for the Maulkiller skin, and the concept image with the preorder descriptions show him wielding them. Several of the starkiller clones use white/silver lightsabers, though, so that's hardly evidence of a confirmed narrative, but maybe they could be mentioned in the Bts. Speaking of images, a quick google image search turned up some concept art of maulkiller (among other things) on ABC's page that I haven't seen elsewhere, but unfortunately there's no commentary there, other than a general description of her duties on that game. These aren't objections to be struck, so it's up to you if any of this is worth mentioning. SinisterSamurai (talk) 06:32, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Hey SS, good find on the concept art; it was basically what was in the Insider article. Also, I disagree about the Era field. While Marek definitely died in 2 BBY (and was therefore able to provide his DNA), we can't say for sure when Maulkiller was created. And I added a bit about the lightsaber crystals to the BTS, but I'm not sure whether to put in in the bio. Cheers, Corellian PremierThe Force will be with you always 18:00, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Shouldn't that be a 1stm tag in the Sources?501stdogma(talk) 20:56, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Indeed it should. Ayrehead02 (talk) 22:30, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
"Due to the threat the trogwhales posed the sentient Nikto species,<s> who were also native to Kintan, drove them to extinction." This sentence doesn't really work, as the parts before and behind the pair of commas aren't grammatically connected.</s> 501stdogma(talk) 00:09, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
I've taken out the commas is does it work now? Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:25, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
I've fixed it. 501stdogma(talk) 20:06, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
I think you should add a History section, and some of the stuff in the Description part should be added to it.501stdogma(talk) 21:02, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
Split it into the two sections. Ayrehead02 (talk) 22:30, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
This isn't yet an objection as I'm not sure which format is meant to be followed but other articles for TOR I've seen include in the article the assumption that optional bosses in the game are killed by players for 100% completion. One example is SavageBob's currently FAnom'd Kintan crusher page which assumes that Gargath is killed even though he's totally optional. Is there a policy on this across the wiki? If not one needs to be made. Ayrehead02 (talk) 20:45, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I'll include the assumption and clarify it in the BTS.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 03:44, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks although I'm still not 100% sure this is the correct format. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:09, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
Is there any information that can be added regarding why/how the player gets into a fight with him? --Jinzler (talk) 08:10, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
If the player gets close enough, D'nar will attack, but the player can also attack D'nar from a distance. He is just like the rest of enemies on the planet except tougher. I don't really see this adding much to the article, but I will add it if you think it is necessary.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 13:07, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying, the article should be fine as it is then. I'm not that familiar with TOR and I just wanted to check whether there was any additional storyline here that could be included. --Jinzler (talk) 19:49, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
Comments
D'nar looks Mandalorian, but the game does not confirm it.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 04:24, May 17, 2013 (UTC)
I think Jinzler forgot to support... 501stdogma(talk) 22:13, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
Haha, yeah it seems I did... --Jinzler (talk) 22:23, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
Nomination comments: Everything I can see seems to point to this being a totally different academy than the Imperial Royal Guard Academy. If someone can find some different proof showing that I'm wrong, feel free to present it.
Regarding TCSWE: Could you add the volume number thing, like you have in the reff to TCSWE, to the Sources instead of the generic TCSWE? Also, for that volume and entry thing, you should not add the page numbers. Good work. 501stdogma(talk) 22:30, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
Added without page number. Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:40, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
Princess
Planet and novel need to be linked. Predator should not be linked as it goes to an article about a ship.
The double bracket of the infobox needs moved up.
Please check your spelling in the Bts.
Nice article. - PrincessGLG 12:48, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure how to treat the singular/plural problem and have put in the best solution I can think of however if I've done it wrong and need to change the article entirely to an individual I can. Ayrehead02 (talk) 21:21, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
