Wookieepedia:Good article nominations



This page is for the nomination of good articles. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like. For a list of good articles, see Category:Wookieepedia good articles.

What is a Good article?
A Good article is an article that adheres to quality standards, but cannot reach FA status due to its limited content.

A Good article has the following attributes.

1. It is well written. In this respect:


 * (a) it has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers;
 * (b) it follows a logical structure, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects; where appropriate, it contains a succinct lead section summarizing the topic, and the remaining text is organized into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
 * (c) it follows the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies;
 * (d) necessary technical terms or jargon are briefly explained in the article itself, or an active link is provided.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect:


 * (a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;
 * (b) sources should be selected in accordance with the guidelines for reliable sources;
 * (c) it contains no elements of original research.

3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FA, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. In this respect:


 * (a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;
 * (b) all significant points of view are fairly presented, but not asserted, particularly where there are or have been conflicting views on the topic.

5. It is stable, i.e., it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.

6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. In this respect:


 * (a) the images are properly sourced and have succinct and descriptive captions;
 * (b) a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status.

Nomination of Good articles
To nominate an article for Good article status, list it here. Nominated articles must meet all six requirements stated above. If an article has a total of five votes after at least a week since it was nominated (beginning the day of its nomination) and no objections (or the objections have been stricken or overridden), the article will be considered a "Good article" and tagged with the template. The talk page will also be tagged with the GA template. For complete instructions on archiving nominations please see here. Also remember to add GAnom at the top of the article you are nominating.

Object
 * 1) Minor objection, but the information in the succession box at the bottom needs to be sourced like you would with an infobox. Other than that, the article reads well :)  Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 02:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Toprawa:
 * 3) *Please add a little bit to give the thought bomb some context as to what it is here: "she abandoned her fellow Sith Lords when she learned of Kaan's desire to use the thought bomb"
 * 4) Looks like someone has already taken care of that. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) *The paragraph beginning "Bane survived using the dark side to purge" really digresses from the central theme of this article - Githany - and large parts are highly irrelevant. I would suggest cutting out the fat
 * 6) I agree. Not sure why that was there. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) *This is introduced very roughly, and needs to be explained - what is the thought bomb, who is unleashing it, what is its intended purpose? "The thought bomb was about to be unleashed"
 * 8) **Fixed by me; I am the "somebody else" that QG refers to.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 12:15, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) *Please elaborate on this a little bit. Her true thoughts concerning what? "Despite her extroverted personality, Githany kept her true feelings closely guarded."
 * 10) Ok. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) *Need to avoid this speculation. If you can't reword this to do, I would suggest removing this sentence entirely: "Githany most likely held the same powers and abilities of most Jedi or Sith of her time."
 * 12) Gone. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) *The information under the "Appearance" section should be merged with the "Personality and traits."
 * 14) Disagree with that, but if that's what the MoS says, I will do so. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) *I'm not sure where this quote is coming from, but it needs to be attributed to someone. I would suggest paraphrasing this instead for cleaner prose: "perfect examples of the human female form."
 * 16) That's exactly how PoD describes her. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) *Please cut the speculation: "which may have been of Sith design."
 * 18) Ok. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) *Ditto on the speculation: "feelings no doubt enhanced by Kaan's potent mind manipulation abilities."
 * 20) That's exactly what the book says. Kaan uses his mind manipulation to increase her attraction to her. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 21) *Your "Kaan" and "Darovit" subsections under the "Relationships" section are unnecessary. Such a section should be reserved for serious romantic relationships, not an individual analysis of every person she interacted with. You may choose to rewrite and insert some of this information into the P&T. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) That rule is totally ridiculous and stupid, considering Kaan and Darovit are not just "people she interacts with", but looks like someone already deleted that so I will leave it. QuentinGeorge 23:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Seems to fit the requirements. The prose might be a little watery, but that could easily be remedied. Din&#39;s Fire 997 00:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Object
 * 1) The article and the infobox need to be fully sourced, please.  Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 20:13, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * 2) *How's that? Din&#39;s Fire 997 00:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **Per Rule 2(a). It can be confusing if you're not familiar with it, but here is the sourcing page, which provide steps to follow. Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 01:08, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) ***Better? (thanks for the link, btw. This whole process is really expanding my skills, if nothing else) Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:36, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Good, I'm glad to hear it! It looks much better, and the only thing you need to source now is this statement, "However, it did not gain notoriety until it was taken as a refuge by rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial." Otherwise, the sourcing is complete. Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 01:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *****Needed a minor rephrase, but it's sourced now. Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) Toprawa:
 * 8) * Din, right now the article is just too short. These one sentence paragraph haphazardly summarizing events should be fleshed out to the length of paragraphs.
 * 9) * Additionally, the article should be ordered to fit within our Layout Guide. If you go that page and go down to number 11, you'll see how a planet article should be sectioned. I would also recommend you take a look at Agamar, a recently passed Featured Article. That's just how a planet article should be done. You can use that as a model. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) * In that case, you'll need to add the bit in the intro to the body of the article as well. I can't say never, but an article should almost never have intro material not covered in the body someplace. Once in a blue moon an exception will rear its ugly head, but this is certainly not one of them. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:27, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) **Adressed all of that, I believe. Heck, I'm pretty sure this is technically long enough to be an FA now (not pushing my luck though). If there's anything else, I'll do it - I've come this far. Din&#39;s Fire 997 06:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) ***I must say, Din, although I haven't read through it yet, I'm impressed. Just how it should look, at any rate. I'll review it soon. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:38, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) *Would be good to add a little bit here, to say it was located in Sith Space: " was the third planet in the Dromund system"
 * 14) *Please give a time frame (i.e. year) to give this greater context: "The site of a major battle during the New Sith Wars"
 * 15) *Weasel words like "possibly" and "apparently" are doorways to speculation, which is a big no-no when writing articles. If you can't reword to avoid the "possibly," I would suggest removing that little clause entirely: "for centuries, possibly even millennia"
 * 16) *What, specifically, does "average-sized" mean? In relation to what? Does the source say this, or are you extrapolating this from something? Greater clarification, specification would help here: "Dromund Kaas was an average-sized planet"
 * 17) *Again, "seemed" is one of these weasel words. Something either did or didn't. Write what you know: "Only very durable life-forms seemed to survive long in the swamps"
 * 18) *Please briefly describe who Kaan is here. Don't assume the reader knows who anyone is: "and Kaan's New Sith Empire"
 * 19) *Specify, with years, what these times in history were: "During varying points in history, Dromund Kaas was held by both the Old Sith Empire and Kaan's New Sith Empire."
 * 20) *Again, a year, please: "However, it was effectively abandoned until it became a refuge for rogue Sith Lord Darth Millennial"
 * 21) *Explain what the Rule of Two here is: "Having rejected the Rule of Two"
 * 22) *Year/time frame, please: "until its rediscovery by one Darth Sidious"
 * 23) *This sentence is highly speculative. Please reword to avoid saying "It is believed." Does the source explicitly say someone believed this? If so, who? "It is believed that Yoda may have personally investigated the system, however any such mission would have been known only to the highest ranks of the Jedi, and any records of the project have been lost."
 * 24) *Can we elaborate on this battle? If not, at the very least create an article for this battle, please: "Despite this level of secrecy, the 327th Star Corps would later fight a battle on Dromund Kaas during the Clone Wars"
 * 25) *Can we elaborate on what inscriptions these were: "learned of the planet from ancient inscriptions"
 * 26) *Please provide a date here. I'm almost certain it's 10 ABY: "until Jedi Knight Kyle Katarn learned of the planet from ancient inscriptions."
 * 27) *Calling these things abominations is pretty POV. Please choose a better word: "and battled many Sith abominations"
 * 28) *Please elaborate on what exactly Dark Mara is: "along with the apparition known as Dark Mara"
 * 29) *What, exactly, is an act of faith? "an act of faith in Katarn's heart"
 * 30) *Please reword the beginning of this sentence to avoid starting out with dead construction like "At this." At what? "At this, Katarn was able to overthrow the dark taint of the Temple,"
 * 31) *Not an objection, but a pointer. Linking should be done as followed: Link upon first mention in the intro and once again upon first mention in the body, and then avoid linking something again for the remainder of the article
 * 32) *Timeframes, please: "Built during the original Sith Empire, the Temple was deserted shortly after the Great Hyperspace War"
 * 33) *Who is Seviss Vaa? "the Temple's location eventually fell into the hands of Seviss Vaa"
 * 34) *Please add a little bit to the beginning of the BTS explaining where it first appeared in SW media.
 * 35) *Without checking, I suspect your source list may be out of order. It should be ordered by OOU publication date. Please check.
 * 36) *Overall, not bad, Din. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:05, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 37) **Adressed a lot of that, but there's a fair amount that simply can't be.
 * 38) **Dates are impossible in many cases. We don't knew when, exactly, any of these battles took place, and, since we don't know when Darth Millennial was even alive saying when he landed is also out.
 * 39) **"Only very durable life-forms seemed to survive long in the swamps" In fact, that is avoiding speculation. The only life-forms we've seen on Kaas are durable, but we can't use a blanket statment here. Hence "seemed." Of course, if "until otherwise proven" is okay, then I'll alter it.
 * 40) **To quote the original source "It's believed that Yoda may have visited the Dromund system." Doesn't say by whom.
 * 41) ** Nothing can be done about the "ancient inscriptions." We don't know when, where, or what they consisted of. It seems I was mistaken. JvS says 9 ABY.
 * 42) **Again, directly from Wizards.com "Kyle Katarn traveled there after learning of the witchworld in ancient inscriptions, battling a host of Sith abominations in the planet's seemingly endless bogs before succumbing to the spell of the dark side of the Force." That's what they're called. Abominations.
 * 43) **Not much can be added about Dark Mara. She was a spirit with a lightsaber. The end. If you can think of a way to add that bit without breaking up the prose, by all means, alter.
 * 44) **Act of faith is a real-world term
 * 45) **Anything else? I admit this is tiring, but darn it, I am getting this bloody thing through if it kills me.Din&#39;s Fire 997 03:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 46) From the Bridge of Chack Jadson:
 * 47) * I agree with Toprawa. The article has too many two sentence paragraphs.
 * 48) * Also, check out the layout guie like he suggested. Model the article to fit that, and it will be much improved.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:07, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, seeing that no one has changed their vote to a positive one (even though I have addressed almost every addressable concern) I will assume that interest has waned (not surprising given recent policy battles regarding GA status) and will wait for the inevitable failure of this nomination. After a cool-down period, I intend to re-nominate. In any case, at least I’ve learned a bit from this endeavor. Cheers. Din&#39;s Fire 997 01:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Object Comments
 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) * Please familiarize yourself with our Layout Guide to see how a character article should be "laid out." Your intro must be greatly expanded, needs a P&T section, and a BTS couldn't hurt. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) **I have enlarged the intro and added a small BTS, but I find it a little pointless to add a P&T because we don't really know much about the character becides what's in the biography. Also, at least five GA characters that don't have P&Ts: Lii, Imperial Ace, Dorsk 81, Luminara Unduli, and Uldir Lochett. I honestly believe that this article should be a good article.
 * 4) ***Nonsense. A character article should never go without a P&T. Previously passed GANs without them, doesn't make the trend right. It means they passed before I started reviewing. ;) Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Yeah. Every character has a Personality, even if you can only write several lines on it. You should check out Chertyl Ruluwoor (Human), a Galaxies NPC article I wrote (if only for amusement), to get an idea of how to write a P&T on a character with such little info. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) *****OK, the P&T has been made, and thanks Ackbar for the Chertyl Ruluwoor (Human) page, it help a little. Kilson 15:26, 18 April 08 (UTC)
 * 7) * Why, exactly, are we speculating that Geonosis may be his homeworld? Simply because he's Geonosian? If nothing in the game besides that supports this possibility, this needs to go.
 * 8) ** I'm still not positive anything specifically says he's from Geonosis. If the game doesn't explicitly say this, we can't assume.
 * 9) ***Sorry about that, I thought I got rid of Geonosis, I must have missed it. Kilson likes PIE 21:04, 6 May 08 (UTC)
 * 10) * Also, how, specifically, is he "affiliated" with Kachirho? It would seem more pertinent to affiliate him with something akin to his scientist dealings, but since we don't know that, it's probably best to leave this blank as well
 * 11) * Your biography section starts out very rough, with little transition. It needs a better beginning sentence explaining who and what the character is.
 * 12) * We'll deal with the remainder of the prose when you handle these objections. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) **OK, I got it done, I hope it's good now Kilson 16:21, 28 April 08 (UTC)
 * 14) * Speculation needs to go: "possibly because the research there was starting to become less peaceful and ethical"
 * 15) * This is speculative wording. Remove the weasel word "apparently" and better reword it to read more factually: "Apparently the patrol had found him unconscious in the woods with documents stating a vile plan to do harmful experiments on many Wookiees."
 * 16) * Please add a little context to explain who this Ovarra is: "The spacer returned to Kachiro and brought the documents to Elder Ovarra"
 * 17) * The P&T doesn't read very encyclopedic, and seems to be laden with Original Research. Please rewrite
 * 18) **The P&T as you had it was much better than the changed, so I put it back. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 19) * Please order the categories at the bottom of the page by alphabetic order Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:51, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 20) **Got it, and if your going to add anything else, please add it all together and not at different times. It would make things quicker. Kilson 23:40, 10 May 08 (UTC)
 * 21) ***This way is easier for me because, with all due respect, I don't know who you are, and too many newcomers will come to the GAN page with a nomination only to leave and never come back again. As such, performing a complete review ends up being a waste of my time. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 22) ****I understand, and thanks, I think this has actually helped me. I think it will have and easier time the next time I try to get an article nominated.
 * 23) In the intro, can you add a reference to the timeframe for these events? --Eyrezer 08:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I think that'll work.
 * 1) **Yep, that's all that was needed. --Eyrezer 22:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * And, Kilson, we don't add bullets to the BTS anymore. Please avoid that. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to get a second picture for this article? --Eyrezer 08:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * While I was searching the web, I did come upon a full body picture of Ikvizi on the Star Wars Galaxies wiki, but it isn't that different form the one we already have up there. I could also put up a pretty good picture of Ovarra from the Galaxies wiki, I'll upload it if you want.

 * 12) ***Hmm, I thought it sounded kind of familiar. Thanks anyways.
 * 13) * I think you may have forgotten to add something to the end of this sentence, as it's incomplete. Send them what/where? "Tantrellius began searching through official channels for a ransom message, while sending the Rebels, as well as Plum's friend, Grree L'Tharr, and Podd."

 * 6) ***** Like I say, he's not a very complicated man. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) * The "Skills and abilities" section really should be the "Personality and traits." Recommended that you rename it as such
 * 8) ** No, those are his skills (good pilot, good marksman) rather than personality traits (likes to fight...that's the only one he seems to have, which is why I didn't write one.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 10) ****That's all it needs, really. ;) Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:46, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) * This is kinda OR-ish. Does the source say this exactly? "and more generally knowledgeable than the average bounty hunter."
 * 12) ** It says he increased his "knowledge" attribute. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 13) ***I'm not sure that necessarily means he's "smarter than the average bear." What if you said something like, "he grew wiser because of his experiences" or something?
 * 14) **** It's not that he "grew wiser", it's that all his academic-type skills went up a bit. Any increase in common sense or wisdom would have come through in personality changes over time.  Since he has little personality or chronological biography, we can't say that. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:13, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 15) *****Well, I don't think that means he's smarter than the average bounty hunter. That would definitely be OR to assume that. I invite you to discuss this with me in IRC. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) ****** You're right, that would assume his starting Knowledge attribute represented general intelligence equal to or greater than the average bounty hunter. Game mechanically, it is, but treating that as objective fact is stretching it.  How about just "more generally knowledgeable than he was as a rookie"? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:53, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) *******Perfect. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:33, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 18) * The last three sentences of the Equipment section gets kind of listy, just spewing facts. Try to "prosify" it a bit more

If this cannot be done, this needs to be removed, or perhaps moved into a "speculation section" in the BTS: "Thannik's ship may have been Thannik's Thunder, a class 720 freighter which Thannik's associate Rhen is known to have flown. If Thannik's Thunder was the hunter's ship, Thannik may have been present when Rhen flew the freighter against pirates flying Z-95 Headhunters or against Imperial TIE fighters.  He may also have been on board when Thannik's Thunder was captured by the tractor beams of an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer."

 * 2) **I've reworded one of the "moody's." I've used these words as are because these are the terms canonically used to describe him. I'm hesitant to substitute a synonym that may not fully capture the true meanings of those two words. Also, "flamboyant" is only used twice, once in the bio, and once in the P&T. Traditionally, we accept some repetition between the two sections, although short articles like this have an unfortunate way of exposing this to a somewhat uncomfortable degree, as Eyrezer has noted above.

 * I seem to remember, though I might be confusing events, that somewhere (maybe Insider?) commented that the "Thank the Maker" tattoo was actually a mistake due to costum mix ups, or something. I could be remembering wrong, as it's been a long time since I've seen this character in anything, but I thought I'd point it out in case it does pan out to be true; if it is, it might be worth a mention in the BtS. Greyman  @wikiajanitor ( Talk ) 23:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * None of the sources in the article describe this, though it's certainly possible he appears in an Insider article with this. When I was working on the article, I seemed to remember something describing how they (obviously) did it as a joke, but couldn't find anything. I'll keep my eye out, of course. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * So, in the process of looking for some SWCCG info for a project of mine, I came across something interesting, to say the least. In my collection, I came across this card, which is the exact same description, and from the same set, as this card of R-3PO. However, as one can see, the card that I found shows R-3PO in what appears as a white/light colour, as opposed to the dark colour portrayed in the other card. I honestly don't know if this was a mistake by the SWCCG, or what, to print two cards with the same descriptions, in the same set, but with different pictures, but I thought I'd make you aware of this, since it looks like some good BtS info :P Since I was cropping other SWCCG card pics for my use, I did this one too, in case you want to use it in the infobox or BtS → white R-3PO.

 * 33) * Are you sure on some of those sources? If Ep. III was its first appearance, how did it appear in Ep. II? Also, I'm almost positive both Lego Star Wars entries aren't accurate; unless it states somewhere in the booklet or Prima guide that they are Q-series, they didn't "technically" make an appearance.

Also, the Prima Official Guide for LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and the guide for LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga both list the droideka model as Q-series. I forgot to source this, and will do it now. Thirdly, it was my mistake adding AotC in the appearances. Lastly, the Q-series droideka was the main droideka model manufactured after the Battle of Coruscant featured in RotS, the source being the novel I recently read, but I also forgot to source this; that's why most appearances are after the time of RotS.

You demonstrate that you understand the Layout Guide, Manual of Style, and the Sourcing policy.

 * 2) *Note: In the wake of this user's recent six-month block, I've gone ahead and struck this objection to clear up any potential confusion. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) *I just went through it with Firefox spellchecker and the only things it flagged were words like "Wookiee," which aren't in its dictionary. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) **There are no spelling errors in this article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:10, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) ***I checked it and he had. "Ofworld" and one I can't remeber...-- —Purplegethos ( Talk ) 22:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) ****It only ever had "offworld," which is correct. If you can't actually find the error yourself again, your opposition is invalid. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:44, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) *****Even if the article had that error, Gethos, it's so minor that you should go in and correct it yourself rather than making an objection out of it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 10) * Only thing I've got is that you say in the intro and the infobox her homeworld was Mantooine, but the article says she was born on Fest. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) **(Groan) Amateur! I've corrected this very poor effort... her homeworld is Fest. --Eyrezer 00:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) Couple errors.
 * 2) * Misspellings E.G: "Kilometeres" "Backstory" should be Back-story or Back story.
 * 3) * Puncuation: E.G:, "What's the Story?." You have question mark and period.
 * 4) *Fix these and add a little bit more info and you have my support.-- —Purplegethos ( Talk ) 16:24, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) *In the wake of this user's recent six-month block, in addition to the fact that these are neither misspellings (the one is so minor as to be negligible) nor punctuation errors, I've gone and ahead and struck these objections. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Toprawa:
 * 7) * If the name of the speeder is the "DC0052 airspeeder," should the page not be under that name, rather than the colloquial "speeder"?
 * 8) **Its name is "DC0052 speeder," but its class is identified as "airspeeder."
 * 9) * I'm not sure what this means exactly. A top range, as in altitude? Time in the air? Can we specify this? "a range of two thousand kilometers"
 * 10) **Fixed.
 * 11) * First paragraph of the Characteristics section needs to be sourced
 * 12) **Sourced.
 * 13) * I kind of suspect the speeder makes some sort of appearance in the ROTS novelization, under some kind of generic title. Please check. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) **Yah, it's there, and added to the appearances list. Thefourdotelipsis 09:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Eyrezer
 * 2) *Can you add something to the birth field in the infobox? It sounds like it is narrowed down to a decade.
 * 3) *I wonder if a comment in the BTS about how this story may fit into actual canon may be worthwhile. For instance, the presence of Thrawn this early may be contradictory to canon if he was unknown by the NR only two years later. Obviously this article is on Stern, not the article in general, but I think it could be written relevantly... --Eyrezer 03:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) **The first bit's done. As for the second one, how about something like: "The article in which Stern appears features several continuity issues. While it stated that the scenario is set two years after the Battle of Endor, placing it in 6 ABY, other elements seem to contradict this. Trioculus is said to have just become Galactic Emperor, yet Prophets of the Dark Side establishes that the character died in 5 ABY. It also depicts Mara Jade working with Talon Karrde in 6 ABY, while Heir to the Empire places their association beginning in 8 ABY. These issues could effect the date of Stern's death. Furthermore, the appearance of Thrawn at a New Republic reception is at odds with the Thrawn Trilogy, in which the grand admiral does not become known to the New Republic until 9 ABY. This, combined with Fey'lya, an influential member of the New Republic Provisional Council, as one of Stern's delegation, may cast doubt on the canonicity of the scenario." Is that what you had in mind, or something else? Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:07, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Nice work quietly done... Fully sourced, truly compelling prose while the talk page is empty. Domlith 13:02, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) From the cleverly worded introduction of Jorrel Fraajic
 * 2) *No info from, or even reference to, cloaca (it's canon!)
 * 3) *Infobox needs to be fully sourced - you're only missing one, and it shouldn't be too hard to find.
 * 4) *Intro could definitely stand to be longer, by at least another three sentences.
 * 5) *For the different types of dewback, perhaps some bolding could accompany the italics, just so it's easier to spot them?
 * 6) *References need to be linked.
 * 7) *It might just be me, but it seems that there are a lot of untouched sources. Are some of the facts repeated in them, or are they not covered?
 * Looks pretty darn good, though. 15:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) Toprawa:
 * 2) *Jorrel's got a pretty good base for you to start with here, but seriously, Domlith, you didn't do anything to this article. You found it like it was and nominated it. The article surely has a bit of a way to go.
 * 3) *The intro needs to be 5x times what you've got there
 * 4) *The article is to be organized according to how species articles should be laid out. Please see the Manual of Style and click on the Layout Guide link
 * 5) *Really? There's no history section? Those appearance and source lists are pretty karking massive. The history section should be huge.
 * 6) *Your references aren't linked. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:29, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
