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 is avaiable
 * …pass review by the Istruttorium review panel.

Failure to meet any one requirement results in cancelation or holding of vote process until requirements can be achieved. Articles in vote with 3 or more GA traits missing results in vote annulment.

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-Inquisitors are encouraged to review articles and participate in the process.

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

Nikolai Orelov
Molodtsy. Pozdravlyaem Nikolaya. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 11:13, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

--You might want to re-read the article, War. Apparently someone (who shall not be named) had moved the article to add in Nikolai's middle name, and when said move was reverted, the whole database was deleted and Sima had to rewrite the article using a much OLDER version of the article as a base. Most of our users (I've seen Jasca, 16 and a few others help) had to bring back the article to its former status.. so, for a TL:DR.. the article is different now. :P --  T H I E F  21:19, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

'''Been a while since a Good Article Nomination was initiated. Anyways, this page just got improved, it's complete, sourced, and has a lot of good and relevant pics. Plus, no dead links. -- Jacques le Blanc''' Reception Area 04:51, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) War Clown raises his thumb and approves this vote. -- Jacques le Blanc Reception Area 04:51, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Though I can't verify any information that's on it, I agree, overall the article's very clean and informative. Deserving of at least a Good status. =GuardDog 13:02, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I think it deserves featured status, actually. --  T H I E F  13:20, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I can't verify it either, but this has my badass Rayne Seal Of Approvalness because as Guard said, it's very clean, very informative, and although I think it could use some more work, that's because I'm used to working on Featured articles. :P (Thief! You Sonnuvah-Foozi! You gave me an edit conflict here. XD) -- Rayne  Message 13:24, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Clean, good looking, nice images and seems to be well written. I also vote Yay on this. Campbell430 20:51, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Sourcing = verifying. Anyways, I can verify. I give my thumbs up for this (as I helped the article to get to what it is now... :P). -- Master Sima Yi 21:06, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) All I added to this article was that nice clean infobox pic, so not very much really! XD Anyway, I too vote Yay, informative article, linking is sufficent and images are good too. Yay all the way! -- Sick-steeN 22:29, February 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Well if sourcing means verifying, I can confirm the content in this article. Thought it lacked images so, added 3 more, the article is indeed informative. Vatsa 03:17, February 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) I just read the article, I thought it was informative, well written, and had a decent supply of images. I kind of agree with Thief, I reckon it's close to featured status as well. -- ’R BlaiddDdraig  06:10, February 20, 2011 (UTC)

Return to Alep
Great!:D -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 12:21, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

'''First Timeline Article to be nominated for Good Status. Well-written, awesome pics, sourced, not a dead link in sight. Also short on mistakes. -- Juan Blanco''' Reception Area 11:48, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) War Clown raises his thumb as a sign of approval. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 11:48, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, the article is 100% complete and as you said, no dead links, mistakes and well-written.. there's nothing much more we can do to it. --  T H I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  12:00, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Though it's a rather small and rarely touched article (given it's from a spinoff), it nevertheless seems very complete and well worded. A yay from me. =GuardDog 12:06, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I wish I had played the game so I could have a bit of background knowledge, but anyway. It's well written, has a good ammount of info, nice pictures, good quotes, ect. It's definitely a GOOD page. - ’R BlaiddDdraig  12:25, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Having played the game myself (before my copy was ruined), I have to say that this is well-done for an Event article of a spin-off, worthy of Good status. Cheers! -- Rayne  Message 12:41, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Nice, looking, and seems to be very well written for a game that not many people pay much attention to, nice images and quotations and although is short, not much can be added to it. Campbell430 18:17, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

 * 1) March 1st = vote closing day, unless someone votes nay. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  08:59, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

First Nomination - Nay
Trying again in future. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  05:22, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

You know the gist. Fully complete, images, worded well to a satisfactory extent. Not "Featured status" because something I can't put my finger on is making the article seem not good enough for it, and simply because the writing of that particular game isn't that good. :D -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:32, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Nay

 * Yeah...no. No source, kinda off paragraphing, lacking one good pic, and the infobox pic is...uhhh oO (Yeah, my first time saying Nay. Hooray for me!) -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 12:32, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * For me, it's just the wording, seems off somehow. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 12:41, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, the pictures are the best we can get for that game (though it does look like Ezio is doing something dirty there, XD). Someone once told me that Major Event articles didn't need sourcing, guess that person was wrong (figures). Oh well. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  21:04, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Second Nomination
'''Now renamed Corombo in Venice, I've done a full-blown revamp to the page, starting with the format, pictures, quotes, links. Also sourced, made minor tweaks to the infobox content, and of course, rewrote the info. Let's hope that this time the page will nail it, aye? -- WarClown''' Frequency: 149.94 13:39, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * 1) Hoorah. -- WarClown Frequency: 149.94 13:39, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay, yay! Well written, rather long. In good shape. Assassino de Roma  14:31, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Yay. Good job. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  22:26, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Informative, sourced and great images. Good job. Vatsa  15:09, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Might do a pass of minor rewording, but still, I really like it. Very informative, considering I never played Discovery, and the images are all relevant and useful. Definitely yay. =GuardDog 23:20, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Well written, informative, and has useful pictures. It's a fairly good article. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 23:58, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Siege of Masyaf
Moved over to the FA nominations page. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 04:36, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

You know the gist. Fully complete, high quality images, well written and linked. Formatting and lack of confidence in this article keeps it from Featured status. XD -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:32, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * Just read the page, and I really liked it, it was just written so well. It was an all round good read. This page can get its "Good" on. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 08:08, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well-written and complete. The images are fitting too, though if I remember right, that first image wasn't during the siege of Masyaf, but during the retaking XD Still, it fits. A yay from me. =GuardDog 11:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Pretty good article, informative and overall well written. Needs a little bit of work to reach FA but it deserves to be listed as a Good Article. Subject 12  12:00, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * There we go, gave it the awesome War Clown treatment. Big credit goes to Vatsa for the quotes and late night pics. The page was messy as hell and had a lot lacking at first, now this is practically FA material :) -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 17:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, It wasn't messy as hell. XD -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  21:02, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * We're all entitled to our own opinion. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 04:16, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I guess so! -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  04:39, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Nay

 * Lacks a few good quotes, and unsourced. Also lacks a few links on some areas of some of the paragraphs. Wow, I haven't voted for "Yay" on any of these nominations. Hah. Not funny. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 12:40, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Everyone else thought it was good, glad you changed your mind and fixed what you had "problems" with. Remember that these are "Good" articles, not "Featured". You darn perfectionist! :P -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  05:20, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Search for the Apple
Holy shit. Took you guys this long? -- WarClown Frequency: 149.94 08:51, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Believe me, I like this article a lot. But it doesn't seem right for FA status, however it does deserve "good" status. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:32, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * I revamped this page, that must be why you like it so much. Definite yay from me. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 07:33, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I had an eye for that article a few months ago when myself and another user were putting the finishing touches on it, but it is definitely true that your revamp did improve the quality, Blaidd XD. Thanks -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  07:49, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I like this one, the wording fits, and it's detailed. The images seem a bit too large, but that might just be my personal preference. Nevertheless, it deserves the status. =GuardDog 11:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * There we go, gave it the ol' touch. Now it's practically FA material. (A little bit of credit goes to Braig) -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 14:58, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Me likey! Yay all the way through the day! -- The Green Lion Chatterbox 09:47, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Nay

 * There's something about it that seems....off. Like one part of my face is "FUUUUUU--Rage guy" face, and the other is "Me Gusta" face. Yeah, no joke kids. I'll see if I can fix this up in the near future. -- Juan Blanco Reception Area 12:37, March 28, 2011 (UTC)3

Battle tactics
This article is one of my most loved ones. XD. It has its faults, the intro may need to be reworded and shortened, but overall it is very informative and describes the swordplay and available tactics in these games to a great detail. -- <font color="#000080"> T <font color="#0b0076">H <font color="#15006c">I <font color="#200062">E <font color="#2b0059">F  06:32, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * Huh, I've never seen this article before - quite a shame, since it's quite extensive and detailed. As you said, it could use some polishing, but it's still pretty complete. =GuardDog 11:23, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * You have great taste Thief, cause this page is quite special in it's own right, though I find that they're are some things that can be organized in a better way, it's still great as it is. DanMan7308 21:11, March 28, 2011 (UTC) DanMan7308

Nay

 * 1) No eraicons, no sourcing, OOU, mostly OR, duplicate images, and the images bunch up a bit towards the bottom. -- Jasca Ducato Council Chamber Assassination record 13:39, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) To add to all the flaws JD mentioned, for me, it just didn't read well. It was quite descriptive, and had great information, but it seemed as if it could be written and layed out a lot better. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 23:58, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Bartolomeo d'Alviano
A pretty good article, well written and sourced. It has correct info and whatnot as well. Subject 12 05:55, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

The Codex's journey
I asked the opinion of two apprentices (Elchzard and Il_ Lupo) and an admin (War Clown) and all of them suggested that this article is good. Recently updated with more sources, pictures and quotes. Animusradiation 15:09, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yay

 * YES... -- WarClown Frequency: 149.94 15:29, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep Subject 12  16:09, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * As AR said, he's already talked to me and Lupo about it. Yes. Elchzard 22:16, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I liked this page quite a bit. Over time, I see it reaching Featured Status. -- 'R BlaiddDdraig WolfDragon’s Lair 23:58, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
