Halo Fanon talk:Good Articles

Initial applications (June 2010)
As of right now, i'm the only person who is a member of the Good Article project's judging panel even though it's still inactive. Before any articles can be nominated and given their status as a "Good Article", I will need a fellow Administrative colleague and three regular users to aide me in making this a fun and interesting project. Instead of having an elite-few decide who will become members of this panel, I thought i'd be fair and allow people to apply to become a judge.

Of course, this won't be for everyone. The requirements to apply for panel membership include:
 * 1,000 total edits (800 of which for articles)
 * Six months (since January 2010) of active participation on Halo Fanon.
 * No history of significant canon rule-breaking or un-friendliness.
 * Reputation for having a set of one's own "standards" throughout their articles.

To apply to become a panel judge, please copy and submit the form in it's entirety in the correct category below:

Username

 * Username — USERNAME
 * Member since — Month Date, Year
 * Active since — Month Date, Year
 * Experience — Explain any involvement in projects or off-wiki experience that will aide you in being a panel judge.
 * Why — Explain why you should become a judge and how you can properly contribute to the panel in an unbiased, professional, and skilled manner.
 * Examples — List and link two or three examples of work that would be of "Good Article" status in your opinion.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see all of you potential candidates on the panel soon! Have a good day!

 * Why — Mainly because I am on every day after work, I know how to use the English language in a proper manner, have generally excellent grammar and spelling, and am fairly neutral when it comes to appraising articles.

Sona 'Demal

 * Username — Sona 'Demal
 * Member since — November 16th, 2008
 * Active since — November 16th, 2008
 * Experience — I've been a member of this wikia for over 18 months now, and I'm one of two co-creators of the expanded universe Against All Odds. I've completed seven stories to date, gained rollback rights a few months ago, as well as submitted an article in the Second Annual Halo Fanon Awards and successfully won in the category. I usually have good judgment pertaining to good articles, not-so-good articles, and the articles in-between.
 * Why — I make no hesitation to help out others, new and old, with improving their work by giving constructive feedback and providing insight as to how to further improve the quality of said article. I find it easy to be honest to new users but also in an understanding manner. To this day, there has not been a single user on this site who has stated that I was being too hard on them when it came to an article discussion.
 * Examples — Arnold Leroy Lewis Junior, Leonidas-class Heavy Battleship, and Magnetic Accelerator Cannon (Elysium Timeline)

Actene

 * Username — Actene
 * Member since — October 1st, 2008
 * Active since — October 1st, 2008
 * Experience — I write well, score high marks in grammar and literature in the real world, and have participated in numerous universes over the course of my stay on the HFFW. While I mostly keep a low profile (when not on the IRC) when it comes to intra-wiki events, I am still a veteran user who has put a lot of time and effort into my membership on this site.
 * Why — I have a keen eye for details such as spelling or grammar mistakes that, while small, can bring even a well-conceived article to its knees. I also frequent the Recent Changes page in my spare time and keep an eye out for updates to articles that interest me.
 * Examples — SPARTAN-057, SPARTAN-091, and Halo: Side Factions
