- It's a good article and Anakin is the central figure of the entire 6-movie cycle. Jwebb13

Objections
?I count four redlinks in the article. They're nothing too important, but they should probably be cleared up first. --LandoSystem1138 17:38, 18 July 2006 (UTC)- Come on people. This was nominated just a month or so ago and little has changed since then. The major objection then was that there is little to no information included from the Jedi Quest novel series, Outbound Flight, and a variety of other EU sources. - Breathesgelatin
- Also, a bunch of unsourced images. -LtNOWIS 20:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- For the same reasons as above, I object. Adamwankenobi 23:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Per Breathesgelatin and LtNOWIS. —Mirlen 00:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with Adamwankenobi and Breathesgelatin, too many unsourced images and needs more on EU stuff. I object. Roron Corobb 13:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- I also agree with Adamwankenobi and Breathesgelatin. Taktwo 22:34, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
- I dont know what you are talking about there are no unsourced images and only two redlinks. PLEASE SPECIFY! Ugluk 23:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
- It needs more on the Jedi Quest series, EU comics, Outbound Flight, and other EU stuff. Roron Corobb 01:48, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- Poor, poor grammar in the Jedi Quest section, And the prose for the Jabiim Conflict is terrible. I mean, if you read the article through, the reader is to believe that Obi-Wan died on Jabiim! Also, the bio section should end when he is given the name of Darth Vader, and everything after that, bar the redemption, should be shifted into the Vader article. Thefourdotelipsis 01:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- I am agreed. The grammar is awful, some of the pictures are poorly scanned or just plain too small to see what is going on... Just plugging in a bunch of poorly-written EU material did not solve this article's problems. This article is just a hot mess. I'm tempted to nominate it for improvement drive. - Breathesgelatin 19:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

- Hm. I'm apparently evil. Oh well. I just thought I'd note that this is now nominated for Improvement Drive. - breathesgelatinTalk 04:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Comments
- I nominated it a month ago, but that somehow "got deleted." Kalas Grengar 05:31, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think its sad that the article for Star Wars' central character still isn't a featured article. We all need to band together to make it worthy. Impassioned Jedi 20:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Lots of great text and pics, worthy of the title Anakin Thomas 16:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with Impassed Jedi, the article for Star Wars' central character should be featured. Jedi Anakin Solo 23:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Should we nominate it for the improvement drive and try to rush it to "featured article" worthiness? Jwebb13 14:22, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think that's necessary. I think the article is very good. It would seem new info was added today as well. I think what would really help is if someone who's read Outbound Flight, add some info about Anakin's involvement during those events. I would add details, but unfortunately I haven't read it. - Impassioned Jedi 04:26, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's more than just Outbound Flight, though. It's missing information on almost every EU source in which Anakin appears. In my opinion, this has a long, long way to go to FA. Putting it up for Improvement Drive might get it there... I don't know. - Breathesgelatin 04:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Almost all the images are unsourced. Just because you know that it's from Revenge of the Sith or The Phantom Menace doesn't mean everyone does. That should be specified in every image. Only a few of the EU pics are sourced with a few comic panels and Clone Wars scenes telling where they are from. The rest aren't. There's no need to specify when almost all the photos don't say where they are from. Cull Tremayne 05:03, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, for all those people who wanted sourcing for the images, I did my best to add some info on that in all the images that I was knowledegable of. I started with the main bio image and worked my way down. Make revisions if you feel fit, but I hope this pleases everyone. If this settles the sourcing debate, please cross your name off the objection list. That would leave just adding some more EU material. - Impassioned Jedi 01:52, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
- Good job, but there's still File:Anakinroom.jpg and File:Son of the Suns... right....jpg. -LtNOWIS 03:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

- Unfortuantely, I do not know exactly where those images are from. However, I can point you in the right direction for the "Son of the Suns" picture, I believe that's from one of the Star Wars: Republic comics. The Anakin room one, I do not know. - Impassioned Jedi 01:01, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
- All right, lots of new EU material was added today, I think Anakin is much more FA worthy now. What say everyone else? - Impassioned Jedi 20:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- Wake up, Wookiepedians, you must wake up! If we offer this article FA status, this Wiki can only be regarded with scorn. Many will lose their accounts. All will lose their dignity. Turn down this FA, because the FA section is only is as good as it's worst article. And this article is poor. .... 23:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- This has been nominated for three months! Can we please get it going? Chack Jadson 21:43, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
- There are still many objections to be resolved until we can "get it going." Right now this article is nominated for Improvement Drive, so it cannot be approved. - breathesgelatinTalk 02:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
