||
| − | Although I did some work on it I don't see this as a self nomination (I only threw in some raw material), the article is simply to extensive for one person to write. After some time I have read the whole article once more and I like it. The changes still made at this time are mostly minor spelling issues but I don't see that as a problem for nominating this article. As far as I can see all the major Borg events are there, it reads well without going to much into non-Borg details. Lots of archivists polished this article into what it is now, a worthy <nowiki>{{featured}}</nowiki> candidate. Besides that, I have a week spot for those semi-artificial guys:) -- [[User:Q|Q]] 09:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC) |

| − | *''Neutral''. I'm not sure about the somewhat unusual format for a history page. All events are organized by year, rather than by "era" as all other history pages are, and I must say I prefer that. A more appropriate title for this page would be "Borg timeline".

| − | *'''Oppose'''. Aside from the format (which should at least be broken into centuries) and my own concern about the title this article isn't what I'd call stable. It's been modified several times in the past few months for various reasons. Actually most Borg articles tend to fluctuate more than others, I think, and for that reason I'd like to see how long this one lasts without major changes before we promote it to FA status.

| − | I'm nominating the large article on James T. Kirk for feature status. It's extensive, well cited, and well illustrated. It's broken down in chronological order and consistent in form and format throughout. It's is definitely deserving of feature status. --[[User:Bfgreen|Bfgreen]] 11:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Oppose''', if you look at the article history, it is in a state of flux at the moment (and that was before the nomination). In addition, I am not happy with the pictures, particularly the first one in the sidebar. All we can see is a silhouette of some person. It needs to be replaced with one of the great shots of Kirk from Star Trek VI, or something. The information on the movies is very lacking, particularly some of the relationships he had then, with very little on [[Carol Marcus]], and nothing on [[Martia]] (who only has one sentence on her, and it is under McCoy), and very little about the events of Star Trek V and VI. I am sure if I read in more detail, I can find more problems. This article is long, but it's not ready, and articles don't just get featured because they are long. --[[User:OuroborosCobra|OuroborosCobra]] <sup> [[User Talk:OuroborosCobra|<span style="color:#00FF00;">talk</span></sup>]] [[Image:Klingon Empire logo.png|18px]] 16:53, 24 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | :*Actually, the image in the sidebar of Kirk's silhouette was a nifty little addition, IMO. It was an image of his famous entrance in ''Star Trek II''. The image kinda gave it that "Here he comes... you know who this is!" quality... if that makes sense. But, yeah... whatever. :P (by the way, that new image of Kirk from STVI? Yeah... that's gotta go, lol! Do you have a better image of him from the film? If not, I might be able to find one...) --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 19:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | ::*My opinion of the sidebar is that it should be an image of the character that actually shows the character. As for a better image than what I put up, that was done after spending about 5 minutes trying to find something from Star Trek VI. If you can find a better one, go ahead and upload over mine. --[[User:OuroborosCobra|OuroborosCobra]] <sup> [[User Talk:OuroborosCobra|<span style="color:#00FF00;">talk</span></sup>]] [[Image:Klingon Empire logo.png|18px]] 20:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Support''' - Admittedly, I worked a lot on this article. I think it covers the all the major bases effectively, and I'm pleased to see it nominated. I do wish there was more to say about Carol Marcus' relationship with Kirk, but from canon sources, there just isn't a whole lot of hard data to use. Other subjects not covered in lenghty detail have links to their appropriate articles. --[[User:AureliusKirk|Aurelius Kirk]] 20:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Support'''. Looks good. Seems to cover almost everything (although it could use expansion in some areas). Just because an article is still being worked on now and then doesn't mean it doesn't qualify as a featured article, IMO. --[[User:Shran|From Andoria with Love]] 18:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC) |

| − | *'''Conditional Support''' - I did some sp. edits, but otherwise the article seems really good. I would like to see this picture thing figured out ''before'' we make it featured though. I know it's traditional to have the "last time we saw them" pic at the top, but why not just have a '60s promotional image of him at the top? It's the first thing people think of about Captain Kirk anyway. (Maybe the one with the PADD, but I'd like to see that replaced.) We do do it sometimes, ie: [[Uhura]]. |
||
| − | :Also: if we can replace any images of "peoples heads" with images of them ''with'' Captain Kirk, that'd improve the article a bit. IE: Janice Rand and Rayna is a persons head, where as the Edith Keeler image is a great example of him actually being involved with said person. And the "2266 and 2267" years have just peoples heads, can't we involve Kirk in'm ala 2268? - [[User:AJHalliwell|AJ Halliwell]] 16:21, 2 August 2006 (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")
