Oppose
 * #Sorry, but as much as it sucks to lose something good for something mediocre, we really should have an in-universe lead quote. :-( jSarek 03:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Unsourced image. Green Tentacle (Talk) 15:17, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As it depicts a character only seen in Star Wars Legacy 1: Broken, Part 1, I presume that's the source. Thanks for checking! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:13, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nice article but those two [source?] tags in the history section have to go before it can be an FA. Green Tentacle (Talk) 09:36, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * See comments. One is probably from Jedi: Count Dooku, the others are probably from Solo Command, Agents of Chaos II: Jedi Eclipse and/or The Unifying Force. Some of you must have those books! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, sorted, I think. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Rather than a list of notable Gotal, can that be changed into paragraph form and placed within the Gotals in the Galaxy section.
 * Addressed by SillyDan --Eyrezer 01:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Also the intro has lots of info that should be in the biology section, such as hair color etc. The intro could also do with some expansion. --Eyrezer 02:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

'''Approved by Inquisitorius - Inq/Gotal 14:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * There are still two citations needed in the history section, but I suspect they're easy to fix. The bit about Confederate conquest and the resulting poverty is probably from Jedi: Count Dooku, and the novels in Tolokai and Ta'laam Ranth's appearances sections should have the "joined the New Republic and Galactic Alliance" information somewhere. Some of the motivation for this nomination is to get the Inquisition to track down that info for me.  8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Tolokai appears in the opening parts of Solo Command, I'm almost positive. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but does it mention that his people are now part of the NR? That's the point I'm trying to cite. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Come on, there has to be some quotes. -- Darthchristian  ( Hey! ) 14:43, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, all the quotes I've been able to find in my sources are somewhat dry descriptions in reference books and RPG supplements, or somewhat OOU narration in novels and short stories. I added a quote from narration anyway: after all, we do use a bit of limited omniscent narration on the Dooku article in order to quote his final thoughts, so it's not without precedent.  &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but actual article content is different from quotes. jSarek 03:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Replaced it with a less interesting but wholly IU quote. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:13, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry we have to take a less-than-ideal IU quote. You're right that the reference book descriptions are rather dry.  I have a few alternative suggestions, which I'll put on Talk:Gotal. jSarek 05:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
