Objections
- Needs a better infobox image. --Imp 21:17, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Disagree. The image fits the head closeup and shoulder policy. It's a good picture (probably the best and well-known pic for Anakin) and cleaned up to better quality than the old version using the databank's & the one on theforce.net NJO covers. —Mirlen 21:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- It contains too many disturbing elements. There's some kid in the background, as well as a piece of someone's hair in the bottom left corner. --Imp 21:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- I see where you're coming from (btw, that kid is Tahiri), but I still stand thinking it is probably the most Anakin-ish picture. But, to be fair, what picture were you thinking would be better? And I want to know what the other Anakin-nominators think. Of course, if I'm outruled by majority, I will step back. —Mirlen 21:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I don't know if a better image actually exists. I'm just saying that the current one is pretty bad. --Imp 07:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- If the image File:ATI.jpg, were cropped to contain just Anakin, would that be better? You'd have less distracting elements. — Silly Dan 23:31, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
- Well, here's the image cropped, however, it's smaller (and doesn't fit the userbox as well as the other pic does), and also, it has more of the distracting/disturbing elements: 1) Ikrit, 2) A part of Vua Ruupung, and 3) a part of Tahiri's hair. If you cut off even more, here's what it looks like—but the image is too thin and it'll look weird on the infobox. What do you think? (Thanks for the pic suggestion, Silly Dan, and sorry to be so irritatingly stubborn, Imp and Silly Dan, but since both images are bad because they contain disturbing elements, I still say the current image is better because, 1) less distracting elements and 2) size fits the infobox better). Hm, I'm not allowed to crop Anakin out of the current pic and paste it in another background, am I? —Mirlen 00:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- It wouldn't be preferred, no. I think either picture would be OK with the current backgrounds. — Silly Dan 03:23, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- I personally think the current image is fine, but I'd just like to note that if you wanted to use an image with few distracting elements, you might have to use one of the JJK pics. I don't know if that would be preferrable or not, tho. StarNeptune 03:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
- Like this pic? It's the only JJK pic we have that's big enough. But um, is it absolutely to change the pic? I think it's almost (yes, I said, almost, not all) universally agreed that the Japanese covers look better than the American ones, lol :P. (BTW, thanks for the suggestion, StarNeptune). —Mirlen 22:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Distracting or not, we'd be better off with an adult picture of Anakin, like we have now. QuentinGeorge 09:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- Personally I think the current image is just fine. --MarcK [talk] 10:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- Great, so we're sticking with the current image. Settled and done :). —Mirlen 19:17, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments
- I think we did a good job in rebuilding his article including removing the copyright violations, adding more pictures and all his appearances. Congratulations to Anakin Solo! Well, he was a good Jedi Knight for the New Republic. I think we should award him this title. MyNz 23:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
- This has been greatly improved. You did a very good job. -- SFH 02:48, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
