Oppose
 * 1) From the fjord of Imperialles:
 * 2) *Images:
 * Image:TOTJDLOTS2-FC.jpg is insufficiently sourced. This is the cover art of the stated issue. Where is this "untainted" version from?
 * Sourced. Greyman ( Paratus ) 01:22, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Krath coup.jpg could use a re-scan&mdash;it's currently riddled with .jpg artifacts.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Swdl3.jpg is heavily distorted, and is in need of a re-scan.
 * I couldn't get a better scan of it, but I uploaded a different picture which actually illustrates that part of the article better. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Jediassembly.JPG has distracting .jpg artifacts, in addition to showing the comic frame to the left and right of the image.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Cleansing of Korriban.JPG is fairly poorly scanned. Get Redemption to re-scan it, I believe he has this particular comic issue.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Nomi holds dying Ulic.jpg has some distortion as well. Re-scan it.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:14, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:ExarKun.jpg&mdash;crop out the fade.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Aleema swenc.jpg looks like it's been gruesomely stretched. A re-scan would be welcome.
 * Not one of my pictures, but I uploaded a different one. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:DarkSideUlic.JPG is all distortion-y. A re-scan is needed. Oh, and the fade should probably be trimmed.
 * Fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *References:
 * Links must be added to all references per this Consensus Track discussion.
 * Added. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The "Place" field of the infobox needs to be sourced. Also, wouldn't the correct wording be "Galaxy-wide"?
 * Oops, missed that one. Added and fixed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) *Text:
 * I am not sure how relevant the "Redemption of Ulic Qel-Droma" is to the Great Sith War.
 * For those curious, explained relevance of this section in IRC. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In the "Combatants" section, it says the history of the Mandalorian Crusaders dates back to 7,000 BBY. This is, however, fan speculation based on the NEC.
 * BOOM! Removed. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Overall, truly excellent work. A pleasure to read. --Imperialles 17:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Cheers :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) The commander section of the infobox looks bloated. You list Sylvar, Oss Wilum, Dace Diath and Shoaneb Culu as commanders, but they were just knights, not masters. Same with Crado. --LtNOWIS 23:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) *They all commanded several battles. Ulic Qel-Droma was not a Master during the war, in fact he never was a master in his life&mdash;but he was a commander and a central figure to the war effort. Likewise, Nomi Sunrider was a commander of several battles, helped turn the tide for the Republic in major battles, was relied upon for the use of her battle mediation, but was never a Jedi Master during the war. She was only promoted after the war. I stand by my decisions for those I listed in infobox. Greyman ( Paratus ) 00:44, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) **Indeed, the commanders listed were the leaders of their conflicts, and no one seemed to be in total control, at least on the Jedi side of things. The sources are rather vague in describing the structure of both sides' forces, and no one appears to be more important than everyone else, on either side. Even Exar Kun does not command as much military might as his "underling" Ulic, even though he is supposed to be the Dark Lord. And higher position within either order does not necessarily mean higher rank militarily. This isn't the Grand Army of the Republic. &mdash;Graestan [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( This party's over ) 05:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * A complete rewrite and expansion. Currently sitting at 128KB long&hellip;just to give you an idea ;) Greyman ( Paratus ) 03:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Having 3 really high resolution full page images seems like it violates fair use, but since the text is gone, I'm ok with it. -LtNOWIS 23:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * So why comment on it? I wanted the whole picture that those pages represented, and if I uploaded smaller resolution images, the quality just went to garbage, and I would have received objections on that. Greyman ( Paratus ) 00:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
