'''[[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.
*[[USS Defiant (NX-74205)]] -- ''Self nomination''. I've been working on the ''Defiant'' article for a while now and I think its got a lot of information in it. -- [[User:Rebelstrike2005|Rebel Strike]] 15:36, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

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.
*[[Gannet Brooks]] -- Self-nomination. Extensive information regarding this character. --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 17:32, 19 May 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")
*[[Cloaking device]] -- I really like this article. Plenty of detail on the history of the cloak, its development and its variants as well as lots of references.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 20:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''', I nominated this a while back. Since then I think a lot of work has been done to satisfy the original complaintes that were lodged. — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 21:48, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''' - I agree this article is great! Its got loads of information about cloaking, and is packed with references to episodes. Well done to everyone who contributed to this article! [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 16:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''' - Agreed. -- [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]] 22:52, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

*[[Terran Empire ranks]] -- A great article that has grown a lot due to both registered and unregistered contributions. I've done all the graphics I can for it, but there are three broken picture links. However, I think the article is already a superior source of information, and the remaining three pictures are already being laid out. -- [[User:Captainmike|Captain Mike K. Bartel]]<sup>[[User talk:Captainmike|talk]]</sup> 19:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support.''' Well written with great artwork. -- [[User:SmokeDetector47|SmokeDetector47]] // [[User_talk:SmokeDetector47|''talk'']] 23:17, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** ''Support'' - I love the rank pictures that have been produced recently, they really add to this article. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 15:33, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''', this is a beautifully written article and the pictures are used perfectly. Definitely worthy of being featured, IMHO.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 20:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Once everybody's finished tweaking this article, it ought to be a good candidate for an FA. Spanning two series, lots of background info, and an apparent end to his character arc. -[[User:LauraCC|LauraCC]] ([[User talk:LauraCC|talk]]) 21:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
*[[Skagaran]] -- Exhaustive information on this alien species. Anything more would just be speculation! --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 00:19, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**<s>'''Opposed''' This looks more like a page for the town of North Star and its history then for the Skagarans. Its greatly written, but it's not really about the subject in my opinion. -[[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 05:31, 8 May 2005 (UTC) (after editing) As this is a featured artical canidate, I won't do anything without notification, but I suggest this page be moved put on "[[North Star (colony)]]". -[[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] </s>
 
**'''Neutral''' -- Why do you think that? Is it because of the images, or the text alone? --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 08:24, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**'''Neutral''' --While my opinion of this artical has increased, I'm still not sure it should be a "Featured Artical". So on the fact that I can't decide, I withdraw my oppose, and put this back under "no objections".-[[User:AJHalliwell|AJHalliwell]] 02:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Seems to have settled down now; last edit was over a month ago. Any objections? -[[User:LauraCC|LauraCC]] ([[User talk:LauraCC|talk]]) 18:46, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
*[[Leonard H. McCoy]] -- This article seems to have been extensively added to over the last few days by an unregistered contributor. I and some others have done a bit of cleanup and some wiki work. The big question: is it ready for the featured article status? I happen to say yes - anything that can be added would be largely a bonus at this stage, I think -- [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]] 01:34, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 
  +
**'''Reservations''' - I think this article is already pretty good, but it looks like (from the editing page) that certain sections were ear-marked for expansion, but were never completed. These include more references to [[TOS]]: "[[The Man Trap]]", [[TAS]]: "[[The Ambergris Element]]", "[[Once Upon a Planet]]", and [[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]. The pictures were not arranged near to the specific parts of the text, but I've corrrected this. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 16:32, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 
  +
Okay, I tweaked it a bit. Any other major changes needed? -[[User:LauraCC|LauraCC]] ([[User talk:LauraCC|talk]]) 15:18, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
**'''Second''' - [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]], thank you for the nomination! I appreciate your taking notice of the additions I made over the past few days. I noted your request for bonus additions, and expanded on the "later career" section, as well. I hope this helps. I am not savvy with pictures, however, and would appreciate some help--can anyone add a picture or two of McCoy at work? Operating or healing someone? Having a drink with the captain? Is there a picture depository we can draw from? Thank you! -- [[User:CMO|CMO]] 16:52, 4 May 2005 (EST)
 
**'''Opposed'''- I would like to think I got the ball rolling on this article, and it still hasn't fulfilled the expectations I had for it when I introduced the <nowiki><!--NOTES--></nowiki> within the article for what would be nice to have added to it. IMHO, it still needs additions from "[[The Ambergris Element]]", "[[Once Upon a Planet]]", and more on Star Trek VI. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 14:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***I think that is an unfair assessment of the article. What has already been included puts some other main cast featured articles, such as [[Miles O'Brien]], in a lower tier. There has to be a difference between necessary additions and improvements. -- [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]] 14:04, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***I meant no disrespect to previous contributors, and give them full marks for what they have done before me. We're all working together on this project, and I think we all feel elated when someone takes notice of our work. As for the TAS episodes, I myself have not seen these two and did not wish to contribute something I knew nothing about. Let me put out the call: has anyone seen these episodes enough to make a quick contribution to them? -- [[User:CMO|CMO]] 10:20, 5 May 2005 (EST)
 
**Fine, in the interest everyone making a big deal out of this and since this is a community effort...I'll add the TAS stuff ''later'' and give it my '''approval''' now. I'm not trying to be an ass, and yes, we do have lesser articles with featured status. However, those articles were given approval a long time ago and we, as writers, have been able to greatly improve our skills since then and therefore should be expected to have higher overall standards. We shouldnt have the frame of "well this is better than ''that one''?", we should be asking "is it as good as ''this one''?". --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 15:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***Well, I’ve seen those episodes. No problem, I’ve added the information to the article. Gvsualan, despite your retraction, you’re displaying a very bad attitude about this, talking about “getting the ball rolling” and “YOUR expectations” for the article. I think that [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]] and [[User:CMO|CMO]] have done some fine work on the article for McCoy! I don’t understand why you didn’t add the TAS information yourself, but that’s no reason to hold it up in the first place. You were right about one thing, this is a free public site where ANYONE can make changes! Please take YOUR expectations to your own site and let us get back to enjoying this site we create together! --User: 24.47.59.222 , 21:32, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
****I did no work on the McCoy article -- most was done by [[User:CMO|CMO]] and [[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]]. Unregistered users should not be posting here, and I only left the comment because you contributed information to the article that was desired. If you wish you wish to participate further please register. If this is a registered user, you should remember to sign in! -- [[User:Dmsdbo|Dmsdbo]] 21:45, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***Some people are taking these objections to heart! There is plenty of information already for the article to be made Featured, IMHO. When it is featured, there's nothing to stop someone adding more stuff later on. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 08:40, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***I agree with [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]]. Let's all play nice together, now. :) -- [[User:CMO|CMO]] 13:14, 7 May 2005 (EST)
 
***Now the new additions have been made, I'm giving my '''Support''' for this article - there's so much information about McCoy on this page! [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 16:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

*[[Elizabeth Cutler]] -- ''self-nomination''. An article I feel safe in saying I 'fleshed-out' and am ''very'' proud of. It's been tweaked quite extensively since then, and I feel it meets '''FA''' qualifications. — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 23:29, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

**'''Mild oppose'''. I think it needs the references linked to the text they refer to, rather than having them at the foot of article. Once done, would be delighted to support. -- [[User:DarkHorizon|Michael Warren]] | [[User talk:DarkHorizon|''Talk'']] 23:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
 
*** ''Rather than'', or ''in addition to''? — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 16:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 
*** Moot point now, I suppose; [[User:Defiant|Defiant]] took the initiative and worked the article over quite well. Are those the inclusions you were referring to? — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 17:57, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 
*** I disagree, it's not a moot point - the references at the bottom could still be removed. --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 11:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**** O...kay. and done. I just assumed when you made the edits of 20050515, you had changed/added/removed everything you wanted; but not the refrences section? — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 13:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
 
***** Personally, I prefer the references section at the bottom of the page. My comment was regarding [[User:DarkHorizon|Michael Warren]]'s criticism, not an indication of my own opinion. --[[User:Defiant|Defiant]] | [[User talk:Defiant|''Talk'']] 13:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
 
 
*[[Starfleet uniform]] -- I read this article a few days ago and I think that it covers all of the bases very well without waffling on. A lot of the minor alterations made to uniforms as well as the variants are included as well. Pictures are appropriately used as well giving a visual of what the uniforms look like too.--[[User:Scimitar|Scimitar]] 22:10, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''' I've done a fair degree of work on the uniforms and ranks articles, I find a lot of them are finally coming into their own (after many were long-term PNAs due to the large amount of disorganized or inappropriately added information). This would be great recognition to all the work on them -- since it involves a synthesis of registered archivists (like myself and a few co-conspirators) and cleaned up information from many, many, of our non-registered friends -- [[User:Captainmike|Captain Mike K. Bartel]]<sup>[[User talk:Captainmike|talk]]</sup> 22:26, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** '''Support''', I '''love''' this article. I did a lot of work on it that, while removed, spurned a very nice change in formatting for the article. — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 23:29, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

*[[Defiant class]] -- I'm frankly surprised that this isn't a featured article. Plenty of information, beautifully laid out and appropriate use of pictures.

**'''Support''', I agree this is at least as good as the Intrepid-class article. All the major parts of the ship are well represented. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 08:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 
*** After having re-read the sections on the tactical information, its become obvious that hardly any of it has actually come from on-screen information. I know inclusion of information from the technical manuals is accepted, but I thought it should be in italics, and it shouldn't make up the majority of an article. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 16:43, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**'''Neutral'''. Considering I wrote the bulk of the article, it wouldnt be really fair to vote. The main reason of objection at the time was that the article did not include in-line references, if I recall correctly... Anyhow, nice to see it featured now.

*** Actually, on second thoughts I'm going to have to agree with Ottens below, there is a LOT of DS9 Tech Manual stuff in there and that needs to be more clearly pointed out. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 23:11, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 
**** I last voted on this a week ago, and I still see no one has clarified which information came from the DS9 Tech Manual and so on. Since I did not add the info, nor do I have the DS9 tech manual, I cannot make such a contribution. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 14:01, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**** I also don't have a DS9 techical manual, but I'm sure that all the information that isn't followed up by a reference to an episode, must come from the manual. Most of this is pure conjecture, but worthy of noting on the page because it fills in the gaps. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 06:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
****Most is based on on-screen evidence. The part on the Warhead is, of course, from the Tech Manual, since its usage was never seen on the show. The rest is all either mentioned on the show or based upon on-screen observation.
 
****"I gave this a wiki markup, I think that should be a required part of final acceptance/completion." Well, now that you gave it a wiki markup, it's part of the article... I dont really see your point of objection there. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 11:41, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
** Because you are not reading the right objection. Try the 2 comments below that. My concerns are were in partial agreement with your comment about the significant amount of DS9 Tech Man contributions, etc, that are not referenced. --[[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]] 15:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**I agree with [[User:Gvsualan|Gvsualan]]. The section with the technical data should be followed up with references to specific episodes, or a reference to the manual, or not be included at all. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 08:38, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
 
**Whenever the Tech. Manual was used, a reference is included. I added a reference to "physical arrangment", since apparently I forget to add it there. For the rest, referenced are included whenever possible.

Memory Alpha AboutPolicies and guidelinesFA policiesFA criteria → Featured article nominations

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

Nicholas Locarno, 2381

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")
