About → Policies and guidelines → FA policies → FA criteria → FA nominations → Featured articles → Featured article reviews Memory Alpha articles are never truly finished. Even featured articles, examples of Memory Alpha's best work, will over time have to undergo revisions to keep them up to date. Therefore, it's important to review the featured articles from time to time to ensure that these revisions have not only happened, but have maintained the quality expected of a featured article.
If you would like to help by starting a review, a good place to start is featured articles more than five years old, which are listed here. Please make sure you are familiar with the review policy before proceeding, though. For past reviews, please see the archive.
Reviews can be started by beginning a new discussion on this page. If you think that a featured articles' status should be upheld, add it to the "Uphold" section. If you think that the article should be removed from the feature article list, it should be added to the "Remove" section. Either way, be sure to state the reason(s) why you think the article should be reviewed. Reviews should display, and have a link to, the blurb used on the portals, by adding {{Blurb|ARTICLE}} before the discussion.
Sample format:
=== ARTICLE ===
{{Blurb|ARTICLE}}
<reasoning> - <signature>
Once this is done, a notice that the article's status is being reviewed should be added to the article in question by inserting {{far}} at the top of the page, above any other templates except the article type template.
When you are commenting on a review, please take the time to read the entire article before you decide whether to Support or Oppose the motion. 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 "~~~~".

Tal Celes
Tal Celes
Tal Celes was a Bajoran Starfleet crewman who served aboard the Federation starship USS Voyager. By 2376, Celes was a grade three sensor analyst assigned to Voyager's astrometrics department under Seven of Nine, the department's head.
Celes especially had difficulty with sensor data analysis. As a sensor analyst, her work had to be constantly double-checked much to Seven of Nine's immense irritation. Often, Celes had to call upon her closest friend on Voyager, crewman William Telfer, to help her with the analyses.
Captain Janeway took Celes, Telfer, and Mortimer Harren on a survey mission on the Delta Flyer, hoping to inspire them to better performance. Celes was nervous, especially toward Janeway. When the Delta Flyer was damaged during the mission, Celes suggested that the damaged piece be beamed aboard to try to determine the cause of the impact by scanning it for a quantum signature. The idea proved fruitless in the end, but Celes redeemed herself when she refused to abandon Janeway when a swarm of dark matter lifeforms advanced on the Flyer.
I have gone through this article and brought it up to what I believe is now the standard it should be at for retaining it's FA status. I have reorganized the article into the generally accepted format that we now use and added some memorable quotes and a piece of background information (and external link) that wasn't there previously. I have searched exhaustatively for anything else that can be included in this one and I have come up empty. Therefore, I think this articles deserves to be upheld as an FA as it is complete as it's going to get. --| TrekFan Open a channel 17:50, April 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Support. I've tweaked some of the wording, but it still isn't perfect in some places, though not bad enough to have me change it, and I do think overall it's well written. - Archduk3 15:34, April 18, 2015 (UTC)
