Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/instructions

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

This subpage contains instructions on how to archive past Good Article nominations. The archived votes can be found here.

[edit] Successful nominations

Once an article has five total supporting votes, including at least three votes coming from AgriCorps or Inquisitorius members—one of which must be an AgriCorps vote—and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article can be officially known as a "good article."

  • Ensure the AgriCorps approval template has been added. If not, add the following to the comments section: 
{{Acapproved|~~~~~}}
  • Remove {{GAnom}} from article page and add "good" to {{Eras}}.
  • Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when {{GAnom}} was added. The second date is the date that the article was given GA status and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when the GA tick was added. For example, on Wes Janson the first ID is 1380968 and the second ID is 1395264. 
{{GA}}
{{Ahh}}
{{Ahm
| date = Nominated date
| oldid = Nominated ID
| process = GAN
| result = Success
}}
{{Ahm
| date = Today's date
| link = Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/{{Subst:PAGENAME}}
| process = GA
| oldid = Successful ID
}}
{{Ahf|status=GA}}
  • Paste this into nom archive page (the redlink in the above template): 
{{Subst:GA archive|successful}}
{{Subst:GA notify|article name|~~~~}}

[edit] Failed nominations

Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for three weeks can be eliminated from the nominations list by the AgriCorps. GANs can be closed prematurely if they fall below the required standard and cannot realistically be fixed. Doing so requires a quorum of at least 3 AgriCorps members approving the removal of the nomination, and less than 2 opposed.

[edit] Voting to remove

To initiate a vote to remove a nomination, add the following under the FAN's comments section: 

'''Vote to remove nomination (AC only)'''

The AgriCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly why the nomination should be removed. All AgriCorps members should use the {{Acvote}} template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose removing the nomination.

[edit] Removing failed nominations

  • Cut nom from GA page (save it somewhere, since it'll be pasted later).
  • Remove {{GAnom}} from article page.
  • Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was nominated and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when {{GAnom}} was added. The second date is the date that the vote was closed the corresponding ID is that of the revision when {{GAnom}} was removed. 
{{Ahh}}
{{Ahm
| date = Nominated date
| oldid = Nominated ID
| process = GAN
| result = Failure
}}
{{Ahm
| date = Today's date
| link = Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/{{Subst:PAGENAME}}
| process = FGAN
| oldid = Failed ID
}}
{{Ahf|status=FGAN}}
  • Paste this into nom archive page (the redlink in the above template): 
{{Subst:GA archive|unsuccessful}}
  • Paste nom after that.
  • Add article to GAN history, giving start and end dates (yyyy/mm/dd) and outcome with link to archived vote.

[edit] Overriding GAN objections

AgriCorps members have the power to strike objections on the Good Article nomination page provided the objection has been addressed and the original objector has been absent for at least a week after an "objection addressed" comment is left on the GA nom page, but only with a quorum of at least 3 AgriCorps members approving the removal of the objection, and less than 2 opposed. Additionally, GA objections can be struck by an AgriCorps member (as well as by any admin) if they do not fall under one of the rules. No vote is required.

To initiate a vote to override an objection, add the following under the GAN's comments section: 

'''Vote to strike objection (AC only)'''

The AgriCorps member who initiates the vote should state clearly which objection needs striking and why. All AgriCorps members should use the {{Acvote}} template when voting, and clearly indicate whether they support or oppose overriding the objection.

When the decision has been taken to override an objection, add the following as a comment under the objection, in addition to striking it: 

{{Acstrike|~~~~~}}

[edit] GA status review

The AgriCorps has the ability to strip an article of GA status.

[edit] Probation

With the approval of at least 3 AgriCorps members and less than 2 opposed, an article being considered for removal of GA status can be placed on probation as follows:

  • Add the following to the top of the article (if the article has been previously reviewed by the AgriCorps, use a new name for the parameter): 
{{Gacleanup|{{Subst:PAGENAME}}}}
  • Follow the redlink in the above template and add the following to the page: 
<div style="background:#EEEEEE; border:1px solid #AAAAAA; padding:5px">'''[[Main Page|Wookieepedia]] &gt; [[Wookieepedia:AgriCorps]] &gt; {{PAGENAME}}'''</div>
[[Category:Wookieepedia AgriCorps GA review]]

<!-- write after this line, please -->
==[[Article name]]==

===Things to do===

===Removal of GA status===

===Comments===
  • List the issues that need rectifying under "Things to do" and state the meeting at which the article was placed on probation under "Removal of GA status".

After a probation period of at least two weeks, a second AgriCorps vote is required to decide whether or not to remove GA status. This vote requires 3 AgriCorps members to agree on the outcome, with less than 2 disagreeing.

[edit] Keeping GA status

If GA status is kept:

  • Remove {{Gacleanup}} from article page
  • Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was placed on probation and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when {{Gacleanup}} was added (if the template wasn't added on the nomination date, pick the first revision after it was nominated). The second date is the date that the article was taken off probation and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when {{Gacleanup}} was removed. For example, on Zayne Carrick the first ID is 1982312 and the second ID is 2059191. 
{{Ahh}}
{{Ahm
| date=Probation date
| oldid=Probation ID
| process=GAR
| result=Kept
}}
{{Ahm
| date=Today's date
| link=Wookieepedia:AC/{{Subst:PAGENAME}}
| process=GA
| oldid=Kept ID
}}
{{Ahf|status=GA}}
  • On the AgriCorps review page, state the meeting at which the article's GA status was kept under "Removal of GA status."

[edit] Removing GA status

If GA status is removed:

  • Remove {{Gacleanup}} from article page and change "good" to "fga" in {{eras}}
  • Add the following to talk page with appropriate dates and IDs (the number at the end of the URL in the page history). The first date is when the article was placed on probation and the corresponding ID should be the revision of the article when {{Gacleanup}} was added (if the template wasn't added on the nomination date, pick the first revision after it was nominated). The second date is the date that the article was stripped of FA status and the corresponding ID is that of the revision when the GA check was removed. For example, on Missile Boat the first ID is 2056762 and the second ID is 2095534. 
{{Ahh}}
{{Ahm
| date=Probation date
| oldid=Probation ID
| process=GAR
| result=Removed
}}
{{Ahm
| date=Today's date
| link=Wookieepedia:AC/{{Subst:PAGENAME}}
| process=FGA
| oldid=Removed ID
}}
{{Ahf|status=FGA}}
  • Replace {{GA}} with {{FormerGA}} on the talk page. A parameter can be used if the AgriCorps review page differs from the article name.
  • On the AgriCorps review page, state the meeting at which the article's GA status was removed under "Removal of GA status".
  • Remove article from Wookieepedia:Good articles.
  • Remove article from Wookieepedia:Good articles/Random.
