| + | '''[[Nick Locarno|Nicholas "Nick" Locarno]]''' was a male Human who lived during the late-24th century. Following his expulsion from Starfleet Academy for getting a fellow cadet killed in a botched Kolvoord Starburst, he eventually moved to New Axton where he began operating as a civilian pilot for hire. |
||
| − | ===[[Journey to Babel]]=== |
||
| − | '''Self nomination''', for the summary anyway. The summary appears very clear and concise, complete without reiterating the entire episode verbatim. The background information appears complete as well, and very informative (particularly on the Tellarites!). The page could well do with a few pictures (could anyone help, please?), but otherwise does not appear lacking. --[[User:CMO|CMO]] 19:35, 15 Jul 2005 (EST) |

| + | Over the next decade, his resentment towards Starfleet festered so much that he conspired to found an independent space exploration organization called Nova Fleet, consisting of starships stolen with the aid of lower deckers he talked into mutinying against their captains. |

| − | ===[[Sirna Kolrami]]=== |

| − | * I came across the article and after reworking some ordering and wording in the article I really think it qualifies as a '''Featured Article'''. — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 15:54, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Oppose''' - it may be complete but I just don't feel that it's an example of MA's best work.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 22:47, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| + | However, when he attempted to recruit Beckett Mariner, she refused to cooperate and fled with a Genesis Device he had planned to use as a deterrent. His erratic behavior as a result of her actions ended up alienating his followers and ultimately resulted in his death when he was caught in the device's detonation. (TNG: "The First Duty"; LD: "The Inner Fight", "Old Friends, New Planets") |
||
| − | ===[[Guinan]]=== |
||
| − | '''Self nomination'''. Nomination was previously objected because there were far too many images on the page. That number has now been reduced to an acceptable figure for a medium-sized page. The page featured all available information on her history (with information from nearly all episodes she made a notable appearanced on) as well as an extensive "Personal relationships" section. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 11:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Support'''. It looks much better now. I've corrected a few of the spelling and grammatical errors. I also corrected the glaring error of Picard giving Guinan a bottle of [[Saurian brandy]] when it was in fact [[Aldebaran whiskey]]. I think that a bit can be added on Guinan attempting to teach Data about humour but other than that I think the article is easily worthy.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 21:54, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | * I've changed/removed a few of the pictures and I think that they are better fitting for the article or do you still think that they're superfluous? If you don't like a picture, why not change it instead of complain about it.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 21:59, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Neutral''' Yeah, the pictures are kinda weird. Over the past edits they always seem to show people's reactions, while the pics prefered at memory alpha are the ones that can be used to describe say, a piece of technology or something. Following said advice, I will look into maybe changing some pictures. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 22:10, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

||
| − | :*Perhaps if you checked some of the featured articles, you will see that some of them have grammatical errors and rambling sentences. In fact, the article for "[[Emergence]]" has no background information whatsoever, it uses pictures that don't really supplement the write-up, it has numerous spelling and grammatical errors and its references aren't properly formatted yet it is a featured article. Did those who supported featured status for the article feel sorry for who wrote the article or has MA become a community of double standards?--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 12:37, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::*I didn't really want to discuss the issue of images here, but can think of no better place, as it's quite relevant to some of the comments above. I think we need to decide what kind of images are preferable for episode articles, and what images supplement write-ups. Images of characters, technology, situations? What do you/other users prefer? Please reply to this, as it's probably quite important for future nominations of episode pages and MA as a whole. --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 12:51, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | :::I think this issue might better be discussed on [[Memory Alpha:Ten Forward]]. I will copy your question there... Regarding [[Emergence]], this has nothing to do with "double standards". If you feel that any page doesn't or does no longer deserve the featured status, feel free to suggest it on "Removal Candidates" (link above). -- [[User:Cid Highwind|Cid Highwind]] 13:03, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

||
| − | ===[[Ferengi Rules of Acquisition]]=== |
||
| − | * Has a very good and complete list of the rules, as well as a complete text explaning what they are. The article is very long in length, it's a big part of Trek, and seems to be complete. [[User:Tobyk777]] 11, July 2005 |
||
| − | *'''Neutral''' since I don't have a valid reason to oppose. It's a nice article, no doubt, but I wouldn't say it deserves featured status -- to me, it seems merely a list of references... [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 10:04, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Neutral''' for the same reasons as Ottens.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 10:23, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Oppose'''. This is similar to the [[Rigelian]] problem, but not so bad. All the information's there, but I don't believe it is amongst the best articles on Memory Alpha. (and this is just a minor quo,) was there an episode where they showed a book of the rules of aquisition? Cause that'd make a good picture for this page. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 22:10, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | **That wasn't for the Rules; it was for the revised edition that is mentioned in the article and therefore doesn't apply if you are referring to "[[Prophet Motive]]". --[[User:Gvsualan|Alan del Beccio]] 22:17, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

||
| − | * '''In Favor''' Even if it isn't polished, it is definitely an indispensible reference (at least for me). It would be nice if each rule had a page associated with it (Who quoted when and how it was applied). 2¢ [[User:70.18.1.156|70.18.1.156]] 14:04, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

And Jadzia seems like she deserves more then a paragraph, maybe even a picture of their wedding. This page still needs work in my opinion. - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 06:36, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Strongly oppose'''. It was far from the quality a featured article should be. Personal history, relationships, interest, all needs to be heavily expanded. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 09:59, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |
||
| − | *'''Opposed''' -- I'm curious as to who nominated this? Shouldn't the fact its unsigned and posted 'because a "fac" place was on the page' constitute a removal from the page rather than an unsigned nomination? Anyway, the article needs to be restructured and expanded. --[[User:Gvsualan|Alan del Beccio]] 10:37, 12 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | An extremely well-written episode description. The numerous pictures and breaking down of the description into Acts scores points with me.

| − | *'''Oppose''' for now. As Defiant said, the summary is on the short side and the article in general could do with a bit of tidying up. I think that the write-up that I did for "[[Cause and Effect]]" is on par with the one for "Starship Down" but personally I don't think that either are worthy of featured status as yet.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 11:43, 9 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

| − | *I've added a lot to this by expanding, adding sections, and making sure that a lot of the links had articles created. There's still several areas that could be expanded, I think, and some links that need creating. But by and large I think this is a pretty good summation and description of a species, and could be more so with community effort. It's certainly one of the most complete species pages we have from a post-TOS era (which means Klingons, Romulans, and Vulcans don't count). [[User:Logan 5|Logan 5]] 20:54, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC) |

Latest revision as of 15:18, 20 March 2024
This page is for the nomination and discussion of articles that may be potentially included in Memory Alpha's list of featured articles. A featured article is an especially well-written, informative, and comprehensive article that covers all available information on a subject. If you feel one of our articles meets this criteria, you may suggest it here in accordance with the nomination policy. For a list of articles previously nominated, see the archive.
To bring up a current featured article for review, please see the review procedure.
To nominate an article, start a new discussion under "Nominations without objections" with a heading named for the article you want to suggest. Provide an appropriate picture and a two- to three-paragraph summary of the article. This is usually the article's lead-in if possible, and should not contain any links, except to the article itself. This is what will be displayed on the main page and in the portals if the nomination is successful. Followed that by a brief reason why you feel the article should be featured.
Sample format:
=== <article> === [[File:<image>|thumb|<caption>]] '''[[<article>]]''' <summary> ---- <reasoning> - <signature>
Once this is done, a notice that the article has been nominated as a featured article candidate should be added to the article in question by inserting {{fan}} at the top of the page, above any other templates except the article type template.
When you are commenting on a nomination, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to Support or Oppose the nomination. Nominations with objections should be moved to the appropriate section until they are resolved.
When supporting or opposing an article, please use a bullet point (by adding a * before your comment) without any indent so these will be easy to find later. General comments should be indented as usual, and, as always, please sign your nominations and comments with "~~~~".
Nominations without objections
Nick Locarno in 2381
Nicholas "Nick" Locarno was a male Human who lived during the late-24th century. Following his expulsion from Starfleet Academy for getting a fellow cadet killed in a botched Kolvoord Starburst, he eventually moved to New Axton where he began operating as a civilian pilot for hire.
Over the next decade, his resentment towards Starfleet festered so much that he conspired to found an independent space exploration organization called Nova Fleet, consisting of starships stolen with the aid of lower deckers he talked into mutinying against their captains.
However, when he attempted to recruit Beckett Mariner, she refused to cooperate and fled with a Genesis Device he had planned to use as a deterrent. His erratic behavior as a result of her actions ended up alienating his followers and ultimately resulted in his death when he was caught in the device's detonation. (TNG: "The First Duty"; LD: "The Inner Fight", "Old Friends, New Planets")
