Memory Alpha:Featured article nominations

Nominations without objections

Tom Morga

Tom Morga was part of the Star Trek universe for 26 years. He played over 100 roles in his occupation as stunt performer and almost every major race. I've worked on his article the last year, expanded it with many information about him, his life, and his connection to Star Trek. I am in contact with him and happy he told me several things, which never appeared in any reference book, bio, or internet page before. Of course this article could be expanded; the appearances gallery should be larger. But I think the honor for the first stunt performer who has a featured article on Memory Alpha should be Tom Morga's. So I am nominating this article for a featured article. – Tom 08:16, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - very well researched and written. Perhaps the main text could be divided into sections however? And it may be worth a note at the end noting that some of the information was provided by Morga. – Cleanse 09:01, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Support - I agree with Cleanse's comments above. I changed the "stunt appearances" gallery so it was 4 to a row as 5 went off the page, though. Hope that's OK? Apart from that, a very detailed article with relevant information and images. Good job! TrekFan 11:46, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment - Cleanse, I've thought to include the section headers, but I think they will split up the page and in the current form it looks better (for me). Perhaps one day in the future it is a possibility, when I got more information from Mr. Morga himself and can expand the article more detailed. I've also included the note that information came from himself in the history, see here [1]. I hope this is ok. TrekFan, thanks for the change. I am not sure what is community consense. I've started with four pics in a row and then several sites were changed to five pics in a row. But since a month ago everyone decided to change four pics in a row. I prefer four pics. ;) Thank you both for your comments and supporting votes. – Tom 11:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Comment - Yeah, I think 4 is better as 5 doesn't fit the page. Anyway, keep up the good work. TrekFan 12:11, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I did not know that he played so many characters! Support!!! The article is well put together. Galleries are great. Wonderful overall. Thanks, Tom, for a really good article! ---- Willie ^LLAP 00:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

• Support. I've edited the article for grammar and style and added a few more Trek connections. All-in-all, very nicely done with very good detail. Awesome work, Tom! Definitely qualifies for featured status, methinks. I agree that it could always be expanded a bit more, though. :) --From Andoria with Love 10:24, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
• Anybody else? We still need one more vote. :-) – Cleanse 03:17, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
• Support: Quite an amazing actor with all those appearances. I vote support it! -FC 03:32, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Nominations with objections

Jean-Luc Picard

The Jean-Luc Picard article is very detailed, including lots of references, images and a timeline of events, as well as relevant quotes and detailed background information. I would like to nominate it for FA status. TrekFan 12:09, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

• Oppose: My main objection to this being a featured article is the quote which has come and gone several times from the top of the article; in fact, that single quote has sparked at least three edit wars. This is not the marking of a featured article if agreement cannot even come to what quote we should have up there. Not to mention there is frequent editing on this article and it is not all that stable with reverts, pasting, and removed-readded material appearing and disappearing quite frequently. I do like the article, but alas I must object for now. -FC 03:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
