- A nice looking article, I must say; however, before I give it a more thorough review, you should know that per CAN rule #14 (see above), an article that is over 200 words must at least attempt to create an intro to bring the word count to 250 or more. I suggest breaking what's currently written into biography/personality and traits sections and adding a brief intro. This should then be ready for a good article nomination.—Axinal Convocation Chamber 22:38, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
- Crap, rewording things is proving harder than I thought. There isn't any additional information to use. Should I pull it off the noms list until I figure it out? Winchester 327 23:59, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't say that's totally necessary. I'd say just finish writing the intro and see if it brings it over 250 (you're at 228 now). If it does, just ask in the comments section for the nomination to be removed, and one of the ECs will take care of it. In that case, you can take as much time as you need to reword it. If the addition of an intro doesn't take it over 250, the rewording won't be necessary at all.—Axinal Convocation Chamber 03:06, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- There we go. Finished the intro and reworded the bio a bit for readability. 248 words by my count. I'm unclear on whether I should be linking pages mentioned in the intro again in the bio, however, and do I need to put the table of contents back in? Winchester 327 05:52, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Cool, nice work. At this point, you have a few options: 1) You could add in a few adverbs/adjectives to bring the word count to 250 and nominate as a good article. 2) Because the intro didn't necessarily bring the word count to 250, you could remove it entirely and leave the article the way it was before. 3) You could leave the article just the way it is and leave it as a CAN. Options 1 and 3 are probably better than 2, but because it's your article, it's your choice. As for linking, yes, everything possible should be linked once in the infobox, once in the intro, and once in the main body. And yes, please keep the ToC in.—Axinal Convocation Chamber 09:13, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, I would leave the article the way it is for right now, because I wouldn't be surprised if other users asked you to add/clarify something, which could bring the article over 250 anyway. I'll also give the article a more thorough review.—Axinal Convocation Chamber 14:11, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks; I went ahead with the ToC, but otherwise I'll leave the article as-is for now. Winchester 327 17:27, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

- Imperators II
Since Category:Heads of government and state is also for "tribal chieftains", I believe it should be added, as well. That would cover his occupation.Imperators II(Talk) 14:43, May 4, 2011 (UTC)- Awesome, added it. Does Category:Unidentified political figures apply as well? Winchester 327 17:27, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I think so, since, being a chief of a clan, he was involved in planetary "political matters". Good catch! Imperators II(Talk) 17:40, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Awesome, added it. Does Category:Unidentified political figures apply as well? Winchester 327 17:27, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
- Guess I'm the guy who will request this article be pushed over 248 words... :) I think you should add a "Personality and traits" section, since we do know that this guy had a dim view of women, etc., as is mentioned in his "Biography." ~Savage

- Haha, can do. I'll start on the section this next week—super swamped in school right now. Winchester 327 00:44, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

- I'd like to request this be removed from the nominations list; it'll be over 250 words once I have time to finish it. Winchester 327 00:44, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
