Oppose

  • I'd like to see this article reference specific conversations or events in KOTOR II. —ATATatarismall.png 18:48, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Okay, that shouldn't be hard. I'll get to it. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 18:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
      • See Jedi Exile for a good example of KOTOR referencing. --ATATatarismall.png 19:29, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Intro fairly short. Cull Tremayne 00:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Intro expanded. Does this suffice?
      • Yes, sorry about being slow on the uptake. Cull Tremayne 12:41, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Objection overridden by Inquisitorius - Wookieepedia:Inq/Atton Rand

  • I think that another image, preferably one from the game, would look better in the infobox.--Doquis(HoloConference)Czerka 12:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I am unable to capture (high-quality or otherwise) a screenshot. So I can't really do anything about that. I am not partial to the other head-shoulder shot in the article... but if I have no other choice I'll do it. Best thing to do is to just wait and see if JMAS or Redemption see this. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 19:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
      • The current one is promotional, crisp and nice. I see no reason to change it. It's fine. Though if you absolutely MUST change the infobox, change it to that headshot thats in the article by doing a quick switch-a-roo. Though put a vote on the talk page first just to see what everyone else thinks. --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 00:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • The sourcing style isn't consistent. .... 23:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
    • What does that mean? -Solus (Bird of Prey) 23:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
      • ...with other sourced articles. I thought we decided not to specify moments in the game. Therefore, every KOTOR II source should just be attributed to KOTOR II. .... 04:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
        • So that was decided against, then? -Sarendipity Talk File:Atrissig.jpg 06:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
          • May I be told which one's been formally decided upon? -Solus (Bird of Prey) 20:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
            • Okay, I've done as was requested, so uh, could 4dot and Imp see if they can cross out their oppose votes? -Solus (Bird of Prey) 13:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Factual error in intro: "However, she eventually freed him from his past, and he went on to train other Jedi in the years ahead." To the best of my knowledge, this is an assumption. --Imp ATATatarismall.png 18:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
    • This is speculation expounding upon what Kreia said about him, and has been removed. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 18:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Can I get some clarificatoins in the text?
    • The intro contains info that needs to be put into the biography, such as his Echani training.
    • In the 3rd paragraph of the bio, it is unclear whether Atton actually killed the Jedi woman. It jumps straight to his later comments.
    • Secondly, I think the appearance of Kreia on Peragus needs some more context.
    • Also, if some information can be added to "when that mess was cleared up" to detail how they got out.
    • The article jumps straight into the Exile wanting to find out why she was banished without having previously mentioning she had been banished or that she'd lost the Force.
    • I also think some of the he was thinking highly of her etc needs to be changed. The developing attraction to the Exile should be more explicit.
    • The encounter with Michal needs to be in the main text also.
    • What other key worlds did the group then travel to?
    • In the final line of the biography, "Atton and the other" is awkward.
    • Can the BTS be changed to paragraphs?

--Eyrezer 03:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I believe I have addressed these, sorry about the delay. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 17:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Nicely done. --Eyrezer 06:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Approved by Inquisitorius - Wookieepedia:Inq/Atton Rand 09:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

  • I did a general overhaul of the article not long ago, and the only thing (that I know of) that needs to be cleared up is the canonicity of some of the Kotor II sidequests, which will be brought up in the next Inq meeting, so I can't do anything about that until then. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 18:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
    • It was decided that we should be as vague as possible when writing about optional content. --ATATatarismall.png 21:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Oh. I didn't know that that entailed un-detailed game referencing stuff. I'll go resource it. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 22:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Done. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 22:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
          • Uh, is it possible to say this is an early entry for the Wookiee-Cast thingy and that I forsaw it the whole time <cough cough>? For 4dot especially and for anyone else that has eyes maybe: see note under the 'Cannok' nom. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 22:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • What else needs to be done here, as nothing has happened to this nom for several days. Imp's objection, in leiu of the new rule-thing, is moot, and would someone either back up, comment on, or strike Shaelas's objection? At the moment, nothing's really happening here.-Solus (Bird of Prey) 22:34, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
