Oppose
 * I'd like to see this article reference specific conversations or events in KOTOR II. &mdash; http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 18:48, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, that shouldn't be hard. I'll get to it. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  18:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * See Jedi Exile for a good example of KOTOR referencing. -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 19:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Finished. I hope I didn't go overboard. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  20:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro fairly short. Cull Tremayne 00:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Intro expanded. Does this suffice?
 * Yes, sorry about being slow on the uptake. Cull Tremayne 12:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Objection overridden by Inquisitorius - Inq/Atton Rand --Eyrezer 03:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that another image, preferably one from the game, would look better in the infobox.-- Doquis (HoloConference)[[Image:Czerka Logo.JPG|30px]] 12:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I am unable to capture (high-quality or otherwise) a screenshot. So I can't really do anything about that. I am not partial to the other head-shoulder shot in the article... but if I have no other choice I'll do it. Best thing to do is to just wait and see if JMAS or Redemption see this. - Solus  (Bird of Prey)  19:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The current one is promotional, crisp and nice. I see no reason to change it. It's fine. Though if you absolutely MUST change the infobox, change it to that headshot thats in the article by doing a quick switch-a-roo. Though put a vote on the talk page first just to see what everyone else thinks. -- Redemption [[Image:Redemptionusersymbol.png|20px]] Talk 00:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The sourcing style isn't consistent. .  .  .  .  23:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What does that mean? - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * ...with other sourced articles. I thought we decided not to specify moments in the game. Therefore, every KOTOR II source should just be attributed to KOTOR II. .  .  .  .  04:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * So that was decided against, then? - Sarendipity  Talk [[Image:Atrissig.jpg|20px]] 06:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * May I be told which one's been formally decided upon? - Solus (Bird of Prey)  20:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've done as was requested, so uh, could 4dot and Imp see if they can cross out their oppose votes? - Solus (Bird of Prey)  13:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Factual error in intro: "However, she eventually freed him from his past, and he went on to train other Jedi in the years ahead." To the best of my knowledge, this is an assumption. -- Imp http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 18:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This is speculation expounding upon what Kreia said about him, and has been removed. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  18:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Can I get some clarificatoins in the text?
 * The intro contains info that needs to be put into the biography, such as his Echani training.
 * In the 3rd paragraph of the bio, it is unclear whether Atton actually killed the Jedi woman. It jumps straight to his later comments.
 * Secondly, I think the appearance of Kreia on Peragus needs some more context.
 * Also, if some information can be added to "when that mess was cleared up" to detail how they got out.
 * The article jumps straight into the Exile wanting to find out why she was banished without having previously mentioning she had been banished or that she'd lost the Force.
 * I also think some of the he was thinking highly of her etc needs to be changed. The developing attraction to the Exile should be more explicit.
 * The encounter with Michal needs to be in the main text also.
 * What other key worlds did the group then travel to?
 * In the final line of the biography, "Atton and the other" is awkward.
 * Can the BTS be changed to paragraphs?
 * I believe I have addressed these, sorry about the delay. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  17:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Nicely done. --Eyrezer 06:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments

'''Approved by Inquisitorius - Inq/Atton Rand 09:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I did a general overhaul of the article not long ago, and the only thing (that I know of) that needs to be cleared up is the canonicity of some of the Kotor II sidequests, which will be brought up in the next Inq meeting, so I can't do anything about that until then. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  18:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It was decided that we should be as vague as possible when writing about optional content. -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 21:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh. I didn't know that that entailed un-detailed game referencing stuff. I'll go resource it. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  22:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  22:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, is it possible to say this is an early entry for the Wookiee-Cast thingy and that I forsaw it the whole time ? For 4dot especially and for anyone else that has eyes maybe: see note under the 'Cannok' nom. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  22:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What else needs to be done here, as nothing has happened to this nom for several days. Imp's objection, in leiu of the new rule-thing, is moot, and would someone either back up, comment on, or strike Shaelas's objection? At the moment, nothing's really happening here.- Solus (Bird of Prey)  22:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
