| '''Feature Article policy''' covers the regulations surrounding the standard and nomination of this wiki's featured article, as displayed on [[Doctor Who Wiki|the main page]]. These articles display the highest standard of article this wiki had produced and are therefore subject to certain criteria. | | The '''father''' of [[the Doctor]] was a figure steeped in mystery, in no small part due to the varying accounts of his life. |
|
| |
|
| The actual nomination of articles to be featured takes place at [[Tardis:Feature Article nominations]]. Previous Feature Articles can be seen at [[Tardis:Feature Article nominations/Feature Article archive|the archive]]. | | == Accounts == |
| | === Ulysses === |
| | Ulysses once watched a [[meteor storm]] with his son on Gallifrey, which [[Eighth Doctor|the latter]] would remember shortly after his seventh [[regeneration]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (1996)|Doctor Who]]'') The [[Seventh Doctor]] had a flashback to a time when his father had his arm across the Doctor's shoulders as together they watched a Gallifreyan dawn. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Matrix (novel)|Matrix]]'') The Eighth Doctor relived a memory from his first incarnation where Ulysses held him up as a child to see the stars. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors (novel)|The Eight Doctors]]'') |

| == Feature Article criteria == | | == References == |
| === An Article Must ===
| | When the Doctor was "barely a loomling", he let a [[cobblemouse]] loose in the great hall of the House of Lungbarrow and it scattered his father and Mr [[Saldaamir]]'s plans and notes in the air, which made him very angry. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Unnatural History]]'') |
| # Be well-written and detailed.
| |
| # Be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
| |
| # Not be the object of any ongoing edit wars.
| |
| # Follow the [[Tardis:Manual of style|Manual of Style]] and [[Tardis:Layout guide|Layout guide]]
| |
| # Not be tagged with any improvement or protection tags.
| |
| # Not have any "''to be added''" notes on the article.<ref>In ''some'' cases on story articles there may be sections that have yet to be announed such as DVD/Blu-ray releases. Or sections such as 'Production errors' where there just may be ''none''. In these cases exceptions can be made if the rest of the article conforms to this policy.</ref>

|
| == Nominating a Feature Article ==
| | The [[Eighth Doctor]] once said that he could remember being [[Loom]]ed, but also having a father. The Doctor knew one of these was a dream but was unsure as to which. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Shadows of Avalon (novel)|The Shadows of Avalon]]'') |
| *Before nominating, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes such as typos. While many browsers now spellcheck, copying the text into a word processor should highlight these.
| |
| *Compare the nominated articles to the criteria listed above.
| |
| *Then, if it conforms to the above criteria add it to the [[Tardis:Feature Article nominations]] under a three-bar (===) heading and leave a note as to why you submitted it with your signature following.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Nominating articles==
| | [[The Doctor (The Infinity Doctors)|A mysterious, possibly alternative version]] of the Doctor was once told that his father's name was no longer Ulysses and he was a professor at [[Berkeley University]] on [[Earth]] in the [[21st century]]. |
| Feature Articles are added to the [[Doctor Who Wiki|main page]] on the first day of each given month, the Feature Article will be changed any time on the first day of the month (defined by GMT - [[Wikipedia:Greenwich Mean Time|Greenwich Mean Time]]).
| |
|
| |
|
| Users can nominate as many articles to be featured as they wish, but any articles that are a long way off feature standard will simply be removed from the process.
| | In his time at [[Time Lord Academy|the Academy]], the Doctor's father, like his own father, was tutored by [[Patience (Cold Fusion)|Patience]], an old friend of the [[House of Lungbarrow]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Giving feedback==
| | The Doctor's father was also friends with [[Savar]] before he went on his mission to find [[Omega]]. The Doctor's father chose to stay behind on [[Gallifrey]] rather than attempt to rescue Omega from the black hole he was trapped in. |
| Feedback should be posted under the heading of a nomination. Your comment should be proceeded by a emboldened note, such as '''Support''', '''Oppose''', or a specific issue like '''Continuity issues'''. Remember to sign these comments. Once addressed, a point should have a further note explaining how the issue has been solved. Replies to each comment can then follow. So, for example, a nomination may look like this:
| |
|
| |
|
| ===[[White Darkness]]===
| | When the Doctor was young, his mother and father went on a trek in the mountains with him. The Doctor's father and mother owned a summer house on the other side of [[Kasterborous]]. Ulysses was still on Gallifrey when the Doctor had children, and stood at his side while he lost a chess match to Savar. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors]]'') |
| This articles has lots of content and some good information (Submitted by User:X)
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Oppose''': The article has too many red links.--User:Y
| | The Eighth Doctor said that he was immortal on his father's side. The sentient quantum field of the planet [[Albert (planet)|Albert]] later told the Doctor that there was a reality where he knew his father's face. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Grimm Reality (novel)|Grimm Reality]]'') |
| :Several pages stemming from the article have now been created, reducing the amount of red links. --User:X
| |
|
| |
|
| *'''Support''': The articles has a nice lead and plenty of references.--User:Z
| | [[Irving Braxiatel]] said that the Doctor's father had a cellar full of [[Draconian brandy]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Everybody Loves Irving (audio story)|Everybody Loves Irving]]'') |
| | |
| | |
| and so on...
| |
| | |
| ==Ready==
| |
| When an article is up to feature standard, with no further issues, it is added to a list of articles queued up to be featured on the main page. This list can be found at [[Tardis:Feature article nominations#Articles ready to be featured]].
| |
| | |
| ===Posting the Feature Article===
| |
| When posting a Feature Article to the main page a short summary will be created to summarise the Feature Article in order to lead readers to the full article. The previous Feature Article will be added to the 'Previously Featured Article' list on the main page. There should only be 5 or 6 previously featured articles listed here.
| |
| | |
| ==Feature Article rejection==
| |
| In the event that a Feature Article is nominated, voted for and succeeds in the vote that does not conform to the Feature Article Criteria, it will be rejected, pending a clear-up to satisfy the Feature Article Criteria. It may then be posted as the Feature Article for the month it had been successful in being nominated for.
| |
| | |
| ==Notes and exceptions==
| |
| In some rare circumstances the feature article may be changed mid-month to highlight a notable actor who recently died. The actor will remain the feature article for the rest of the month, or for half the month depending on various factors.
