** '''Oppose''' due to concerns about image use. The article itself is extremely well-written and I have no problems with that content, but some of the images seem unnecessary and don't add to the article, particularly [[:Image:Forceofnature017 -Geordi\'s decision.jpg|this one]], [[:Image:Image:Forceofnature066 -Data and Geordi improve sensor effiency.jpg|this one]], [[:Image:Forceofnature158 -Hekarans make their plea.jpg|this one]], and [[:Image:Forceofnature267_-Enterprise_is_shaken_by_the_Fleming.jpg|this one]]. [[:Image:Forceofnature027_-Data_with_Okudagram_of_Hekaras_Corridor.jpg|This image]], [[:Image:Forceofnature107 -Prak makes his accusations.jpg|this image]], [[:Image:Forceofnature154 -enterprise is boarded.jpg|this image]], [[:Image:Forceofnature307 -the deleterious effects of warp drive.jpg|this image]], and perhaps [[:Image:Forceofnature083 -ferengi marauder opens fire.jpg|this image]] as well should be cropped to only show the subjects of interest. And [[:Image:Force_of_Nature.jpg|this image]] is quite definitely unneeded and should be replaced with something more useful--I think [[:Image:Forceofnature242_-Geordi_realises_the_effects_of_warp_drive.jpg|this image]] does a good job of providing a relevant introductory image and the main article wouldn't suffer from its loss. Otherwise, the article is definitely an excellent featured candidate. -- [[User:SmokeDetector47|SmokeDetector47]] // [[User_talk:SmokeDetector47|''talk'']] 19:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Oppose''' for now. While it is a very comprehensive article with respect to the features of the DVD, I believe it could be significantly expanded with information about how the project came to be, the work that went into planning and producing the DVD, and the difficulties in releasing it (the original release date was pushed back at least twice). -- [[User:SmokeDetector47|SmokeDetector47]] // [[User_talk:SmokeDetector47|''talk'']] 18:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* [[Ten Forward]]. Why is it actually not featured yet? SmokeDetector created a perfect article here, with all information available on it, to my knowledge. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 06:38, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Oppose''' ''provisionally'', because I believe there are too many pictures on the page. Most of them show the same thing. IMHO, there should be one picture of the lounge, one of people playing chess, and one of Guinan. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 14:05, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

***Originally, there were two images of the lounge: one showing the bar and one showing the lounge/dining area. I uploaded the now top image, which gives a total view of the room. The image of the bar was chosen to be on [[Memory Alpha: Ten Forward]] -- there was never any objection to the number of images on the page. The total view doesn't give a splendid view of the lounge area, hence the necessity for the third image. The only insignificant image is the one showing crewmembers playing a game of chess; I added it to illustrate the social function of the lounge. [[User:Ottens|Ottens]] 18:41, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

***'''Support''' - I reckon the number of images is better now. [[User:Zsingaya|zsingaya]] 14:14, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* [[Assimilation]] - I read this thoroughly the other day and found it to be extremely well written; I ''highly'' reccomend for '''FA''' candidacy. — [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] 16:30, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Oppose''' for now. Needs more in-line citations to indicate information sources (some of the information presented I don't recognise from any Borg episodes). Some minor content problems have only just been raised on the talk page (by [[User:Pd THOR|THOR]] himself!) - these issues must be resolved before it can be supported. -- [[User:DarkHorizon|Michael Warren]] | [[User talk:DarkHorizon|''Talk'']] 17:20, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Opposed'''; basicly the same reasoning, I merged this with [[Borg assimilation]] a few weeks back and I didn't give it a hard [[canon]] check. Until the info can be clearly referenced I think it should stay unfeatured. [[User:Tyrant|Tyrant]] 18:23, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)Tyrant

Nominations without objections

  • Boothby. Well written, plenty of detail for a minor charicter only mentioned a few times. AmdrBoltz 02:16, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. Jaz 04:38, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Support. --Scimitar 13:58, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support. — THOR 16:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Good Shepherd - Self-nomination. This is another episode article, but I think I covered all the information, and got some great pictures. I leave my fate unto you. -AJHalliwell 19:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support. Well done. Jaz 19:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I would oppose the nomination due to low quality of some of the images, but I don't know if that counts. The rest of the article seems fine, and I would support the article if these nominations are judged solely on the text. --Defiant | Talk 19:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support. Images can be a matter for objection, however I think the quality of images is not a fair reason to oppose. Ottens 21:30, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm afraid back when I started doing this page, I hit "Refresh Page (Full Quality)", so when ever I go there they come up really nice quality pics, and I can't see how they normally look. Do you know a way to better their quality? -AJHalliwell 22:18, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I could upload similar images taken from the DVD, if you want. The quality would be slightly better then. --Defiant | Talk 22:26, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Oppose nomination - I've just learned that the article also needs full wiki formatting, there's still a section at the bottom of the page that needs to be formatted. --Defiant | Talk 22:29, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Took care of that. I don't see how such an insignificant detail is a reason for objection, and I don't see why you couldn't take the 30 seconds yourself to fix it, but it's wiki-formatted now. Ottens 14:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support, I've corrected most of the spelling and grammatical errors. Definitely a worthy candidate, IMHO. --Scimitar 21:41, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support AmdrBoltz 18:45, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nominations with objections

  • Force of Nature (self nomination) - After tidying it up a bit, I think that the article is as well-written and referenced as my write-ups on Relics and Timescape.--Scimitar 23:09, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support AmdrBoltz 02:18, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Support, Wonderfully extensive. — THOR 16:23, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Oppose due to concerns about image use. The article itself is extremely well-written and I have no problems with that content, but some of the images seem unnecessary and don't add to the article, particularly this one, this one, this one, and this one. This image, this image, this image, this image, and perhaps this image as well should be cropped to only show the subjects of interest. And this image is quite definitely unneeded and should be replaced with something more useful--I think this image does a good job of providing a relevant introductory image and the main article wouldn't suffer from its loss. Otherwise, the article is definitely an excellent featured candidate. -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 19:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) - Self-nomination. An article about the DVD version of the first Star Trek movie. --Defiant | Talk 10:44, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Oppose for now. While it is a very comprehensive article with respect to the features of the DVD, I believe it could be significantly expanded with information about how the project came to be, the work that went into planning and producing the DVD, and the difficulties in releasing it (the original release date was pushed back at least twice). -- SmokeDetector47 // talk 18:33, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
