Assassin's Creed Wiki:Good Article Nominations



 This page lists all the nominations for Good status. The Istruttori monitor this page and the voting process.

What makes an Good Article good? We knew you would ask that, so the answer follows:

An article must…
 * …be well-written and detailed.
 * …be unbiased, non-point of view.
 * …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
 * …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on ACWiki.
 * …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags, except.
 * …have a proper lead, with a undetailed resume of the article's contents.
 * …have no more than 6 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
 * …have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
 * …provide at least one quote on the article.
 * …preferably include a "personality and characteristics" section on all character articles.
 * …include at least 2 images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
 * …preferably have a "behind the scenes" section when the info if available
 * …pass review by the Istruttorium review panel.

If the article meets at least 5 of the prerequisites, the article is permitted to be held for nomination.

How to nominate:


 * 1) First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Note that a previously featured article cannot be featured on the Main Page again; however, it can be restored to featured status.
 * 2) 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 (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
 * 3) Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
 * 4) The article is placed on the good article list and added to the front page queue.
 * 5) Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 3 Istruttore supports and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), it will be added to the queue, and will be officially known as a "good article."

How to vote:


 * 1) Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
 * 2) Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
 * 3) Please note that in order for your vote to count, you must have 50 mainspace edits.
 * 4) If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under, if possible. Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid.
 * 5) 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.
 * 6) Once the article has five supporting Istruttori votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week, the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "good article." Although articles do not need regular users' votes to pass, non-Istruttori are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.

Also remember to add at the top of the article you are nominating.

Talal - Yay
6 days and 5 Staff votes.. --Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 03:07, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

I seem to be rushing these articles through, but seeing as they all seem to do quite well in the voting process, I see no reason to stop my work yet. I fixed the final words section, sourced the images, removed the unneeded video, replaced some images and did some general rewording. I think this one is good enough for GA as well.

Abu'l Nuqoud - Yay
Another one, again? --Vatsa ( talk • Gentek ) 13:00, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Another nomination from me. I have fixed the articles sourcing, sourced images, added new images (Thanks to Vatsa), cleaned up the trivia, fixed the formatting in the final words section, fixed some info in the infobox and did the general rewording. I believe it to be ready, if you do not, tell me why and I'll see to it that it's fixed. Nesty Contact me! 22:07, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 5) I did some minor grammar work, good article though. Nostalgia  Let's talk. 03:24, November 30, 2011 (UTC)

Emilio Barbarigo - Yay
Enough votes. -- D. Cello 00:14, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

I revamped and expanded on this article, adding personality and early life sections, as well as cleaning up the rest of the article. I've spoken with Guard, and he agrees after a few suggestions. Nostalgia Let's talk. 15:10, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As nominator. Nostalgia  Let's talk. 15:10, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Did some rewording/MoS related stuff, and it seems fine now. Nesty  Contact me! 19:22, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Well done. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  02:26, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) All my comments have been covered. =GuardDog 02:39, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Read it straight after you put it up for voting. Just been busy. :P Teller  Words, On my Screen :O 02:53, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Creepy infobox image. But still, good work. -- Jack WallsSupermen 02:54, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) On a side note: I've provided a new infobox render (On Sima's request). Nesty  Contact me! 12:12, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I'd vote twice for that new infobox image, but a comment will have to do. -- Jack WallsSupermen 11:39, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

William of Montferrat - Voting
Oh dear, another one? Yes. Another one. Let's see.... I did pretty much the same as I did to the other articles. Go ahead and vote. If you don't think it is good enough, tell me why and I'll make sure to fix it. Nesty Contact me! 19:41, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As revamper/nominator Nesty  Contact me! 19:41, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) My comments have been covered. Nostalgia  Let's talk. 21:20, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Alrighty. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  04:54, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) In my opinion the biography section needs to be subdivided, and the opening quote for that section needs to either be shortened (or replaced if it loses its meaning when shortened). It could also use some more images from when William is inside the citadel for the gallery. Lastly, I believe that the image from the final words section should be made smaller, and a medium sized image inserted into the personality section, if it makes sense there. Those are just my thoughts on the article, but do those, and I'll vote Yay.  Nostalgia  Let's talk. 03:21, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I did as you asked, mostly. Biography has been subdivided, quote has been replaced by a shorter one, though it gives less explanation. Final death image has been made smaller as well. An image in the personality section would both be senseless and would ruin the articles lay-out unnecessarily. I'll request more images from Vatsa when I meet him on the IRC.

Majd Addin - Voting
Same story as the ones above. did everything I did to them, and if you are not content, tell me why so that I can fix it. Nesty Contact me! 09:19, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As revamper/nominator -- Nesty Contact me! 09:19, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Went through and did some rewording on it myself. Now it's much better. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  04:08, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Nay

 * 1) Most of the wording on the page is quite awkward to read, it doesn't seem to flow very well. --  'R BlaiddDdraig  Enter...  THE SCARY DOOR  04:54, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) As War and Blaidd have said, the gallery needs some new, higher quality images that provide a better visual for the article. Also, the wording does seem awkward to read and just appears "difficult" to read, if that makes sense. Honestly, I wish I could be more descriptive, but it's difficult even for myself to pinpoint exactly where the wording needs improvement, so I apologize for that. Nostalgia  Let's talk. 04:59, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) I've done some work, but it could use some new images. The ones there are a bit low quality, and could also use some more for the gallery. If what I've requested are met, I'll vote Yay. -- Jack WallsSupermen 03:33, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I did a lot of rewording on the page, so I hope that objections is fixed now. I have requested new images from Vatsa (we all know they'll be good quality), and I will put them on the page as soon as he has uploaded them. Once I have, I'll leave another comment here. -- Nesty Contact me! 10:34, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Vatsa has added the images, as requested. Please check the page again and reconsider your votes. Nesty  Contact me! 19:06, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Jubair al Hakim - Voting
I guess I'm driving everyone here insane with my nominations, but here's another one. Chief Scholar of Damascus has been revamped as well. Did the same to him as to the others. Opinions, please! Nesty Contact me! 13:28, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) As revamper/nominator Nesty  Contact me! 13:28, December 4, 2011 (UTC)
