Objections
 * 1) Unlike the B-wing starfighter, which I got to GA, this article doesn't really discuss much of the History behind the A-wing's use, aside from Endor. Case in point, I'd like to read more about the A-wing slash, maybe the Battle of Thyferra, Madine's use of an A-wing when infiltrating the Darksaber, and any other significant uses that I missed.

 * 2) *This change found its apex in a devastating tactic known as the A-wing Slash. A group of X-wings would approach an Imperial convoy, hiding A-wings in their drive exhaust. The X-wings would then pull away, diverting attention away from the speedy A-wings, which would launch HM-6 concussion missiles against the convoy and pull away. That's directly from the article. It also links to this article. --School of Thrawn 101 11:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) ** But that's about it for operational use. Kinda lacking, don't you think? -Fnlayson 04:54, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 4) Article lacks sourcing to meet attribute 2 above.  Only some of the specs are sourced now. -Fnlayson 16:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 5) Yeah. For so many appearances, it has little references. Jediknight19bby 17:33, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * He who nominates, vote for their nomination, they must, or deleted it will be. Pardon the Yoda talk, my ego got the best of me :) Hobbes15 ( Tiger Headquarters ) 05:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I informed the nominator about it, I suggest we give him a day to vote for his nomination. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 06:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait, why does the nominator have to vote for it? --School of Thrawn 101 06:56, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't know, just assumed Hobbes15 was right. And I can remember a nomination being removed for this reason a while ago. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 06:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, ok...but is that just a traditional practice or is there a policy in place for that kind of consequence? --School of Thrawn 101 06:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it is just a way to identify the nominator, I'll see if I can find a policy about it. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 07:10, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up jedimcca0, I thought I wouldn't be allowed to vote! Tutos Lumenarious 10:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 10:48, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * In any case, back to the article...one of the images needs sourcing. Other than  that, it looks pretty darn good. --School of Thrawn 101 07:12, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm working on it. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * The image has been sourced, Thanks JMAS. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And with that, I'm all for it. --School of Thrawn 101 12:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I just finished looking over this, and it feels to me like the pictures make it looked a little cramped. Would anyone object to the removal of the pic at the beginning of the section "Early production", since it is almost the exact same picture as the Infobox picture?  I think if we could space the pictures out some, then the article would  'visually' flow better.  I did enjoy the writing in this article, nicely done.  Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Good call, Greyman, I'm surprised we didn't catch that. I say nuke that pic. --School of Thrawn 101 03:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Good idea, I hid that image. -Fnlayson 04:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
