Oppose
 * 1) Punctuation: Em dashes are currently surrounded by spaces. The spaces should be removed. --Imperialles 20:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Excessive internal links throughout the article, especially in the quote attributions. With regards to the quote attributions, I would like to see those links be put in the body of the article (which it appears is already the case with most). Other than this minor thing, it is a nice article and an enjoyable read.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 20:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Two things:
 * 4) * Introduction: The first sentence is disconnected from the two other paragraphs. It's just floating there. Can we merge this with an existing paragraph, or expand it enough to warrant a separate paragraph?
 * 5) **I separated them while I was editing because I like them like that. The first sentence is the "executive summary" version. You can put it back if you prefer. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 23:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 6) * BTS: "In the Underworld article, BoShek's name was incorrectly capitalized as "Boshek"." Is this really interesting? Either flesh this out or remove it entirely. --Imperialles 23:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 7) **Well, you can't really expand on it, but an instance in which a character's name is incorrectly given is worth a mention. That's what BTS is for. "This one source spells it Boshek. If that's all you know him from, that capitalization is wrong. Thank you and have a nice day." Havac 03:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 8) ***I merged it with one of the other paragraphs. What do you think? --Imperialles 13:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 9) ****I like it a good deal. Havac 18:03, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I had to fix quite a few little issues, but this one I'll leave to you, Havac: BoShek waited until his shields were about to fail, then launched an escape pod as he rounded a corner, creating an explosion that he hoped would suggest the Infinity's destruction and possibly take out both of the remaining TIEs; it accomplished the latter. - This just plain doesn't work. "Accomplished the latter (or former)" should only be used when there are two alternate options, not when both can be achieved. Thefourdotelipsis 06:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *Fixed. Havac 17:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Two minor points:
 * 3) *The era icons disagree with the infobox.
 * 4) *Reaction, paragraph 4: "Reaching out with all his concentration, he urged them through the Force to let him go. His effort was weak, but being brushed by the Force once more triggered its effects again, replaying their thought processes when they had been touched by it shortly before, when Kenobi evaded their scrutiny." That could do with being a little clearer. Green Tentacle (Talk) 12:58, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) **Try that. Havac 20:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * Redlinks... Cull Tremayne 08:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * There should only be three, which is the accepted maximum. Havac 16:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Which means we won't vote against it, but we also don't necessarily have to vote for it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 20:55, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have addressed both Imp and Greyman's objections with AWB. The spaces around dashes are gone, and the infobox and succession box are the only places you'll find links that are already in the article body. Now the redlinks need to die. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Redlinks killed. Cull Tremayne 03:19, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
