Talk:Daniel Wood/FA Discussion (second nomination)

Wood, Daniel

• Support as nominator: Okay I believe with all the changes to the page, that this is now a sophisticated biography for the character Daniel Wood. This page has comprehensive information regarding the history and current roles Daniel has. It also contains the missions Daniel as taken part in and how detail what role Daniel had to play in them.

  • Comment: Just looked to find your security clearance to check if mine seem right in comparison, but I can't find them in your article. Given you're a security officer... - Lt. Salak^Talk 02:05, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
    • Further Comment: Since pointed out to me. I can understand them being in the initial section, but instinct had me looking for it under "Professional History", so you know. - Lt. Salak^Talk 07:47, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Comment: I havnt served on any other ships or had any other codes, so therefore theres no need for them to be in "Professional History". If i move to another ship and these codes become extinct then i'll place them in "Professional History". --Danielwood7 12:32, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
• Slight Support: Some concern about aspects of the actual character (is it me, or is he a superhero?), but here to judge the article, not the character. As an article, it's presentable, quite detailed, we've ironed a lot of the typos out, though it could still do with a proof read by the characters author in parts. Decent article, yes. Featured Article? Maybe. I'm not totally convinced yet though. - Lt. Salak^Talk 08:00, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Slight Oppose: I've worked hard to set aside my distaste for certain aspects of the character and look solely at the quality of the article itself. After reading recently promoted and nominated articles, I don't think "presentable" is good enough for featured article. I'm glad this article had the makeover it did (ironing out typos, grammatically incorrect passages, etc.) and this really is a decent article, but I don't think that it showcases our group's writing the way a Featured Article should. I think the time and effort that he's put into thinking through the character is laudable, but the writing doesn't engage the reader and keep them interested in a way I would expect a Featured Article to. There is lots of detail, which is usually a good thing, but sometimes this leads to redundant passages with significant repeating from section to section. In short, this is a decent article but decent does not equal Featured. Karynn Ehlanii 11:38, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
