  3. Inqvote Very good. I like articles about Kaleesh generals. Chack Jadson (Talk) 19:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. Interesting fellow. Why is it that all the aliens in the Empire are bastards? -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:13, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. Toprawa:
    • Per rule 8, please remedy the red link in the intro. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:00, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
      • Heh, I realized that in class today. Fixed. Thefourdotelipsis 07:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
    • The way you speculatively word this with "seemed" leads me to believe that this is your own personal extrapolation. Please reword, or otherwise remove, as appropriate: "His bombing of K'avor did not seem to work into his final plan for Shiva IV at all"
    • Otherwise clean. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  2. Ackbar:
    • The first sentence could do with a tad more context. It assumes that the reader knows who Sheelal is, and could use more explanation about the war with the Yam'rii. Additionally, it could better explain that the two conflicts (the Yam'rii one and Sk'rr's one with the Empire) did not take place concurrently.
      • I've added a bit of context there, to clarify timelines and personalities. As for Sheelal, I'm a bit of an advocate of inviting readers to click links, but there's also the element of "Kaleesh warlord in the same vein as." If you think it needs further clarification, I'm happy to amend.
        • Looks fine.
    • Sorry to be so ridiculously nitpicky, but "edge of known space" doesn't mean "edge of the galaxy" in my estimation.
      • That's fair enough. Fixed.
    • No mention at all of his "behemoth" physical size?
      • I thought I'd let "Approx. 3 meters", "intimidated by the towering figure of Sk'ar" and the picture do the talking.
        • Fair enough, though I think a mention in the P&T would be good; it seems to be an important enough part of his character. It should also probably be mentioned that he was way above average size for his species; NEGAS lists a Kaleesh's average height as 1.8 meters.
    • (Not an objection): This is probably because I am tired, but the "Shiva IV" and "Death" sections leave me needing to reread things to fully comprehend what's actually happening. I can't really be specific, though; sorry. I guess I'll wait to see what others say. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
      • I understand your plight: the story itself is so hackneyed that I struggled to get my head around it myself. A lot of things in the story genuinely make no sense, and I've alluded to this in the P/T. Thefourdotelipsis 07:57, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
        • I reread it this morning with some sleep in me and it looks okay. Interesting, if slightly strange, character and article. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  3. The infobox image is horrible. --Imperialles 16:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Wow, what a helpful, specific objection. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 20:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
    • The other candidates are horrible-er. Thefourdotelipsis 00:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. Can we get a quote for his P&T section?--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 01:59, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Better images are incoming. Thefourdotelipsis 13:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Mostly done, though I suggest picking another infobox image. That 3/4ths of a face is the whole panel, it's not in the spine or something. I'll rescan that one if you want, but I'll wait for your selection before I do any more. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 20:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Motion to strike objection 3

  1. Inqvote EIGHT Inqvotes beside the nominator. Multiple requests to the objector to clarify or strike have gone unanswered. Let's keep the process moving and remove the only thing jamming the gears. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 22:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  2. Inqvote This is a matter of subjectivity. If the objector wants it changed, he's welcome to hold a talk page vote. Thefourdotelipsis 22:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  3. Inqvote Per Culator. - Lord Hydronium 23:14, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  4. Inqvote Not sure what the hold up is to be honest. Cull Tremayne 04:13, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  5. Inqvote The objection can be handled on the talk page. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • The nominator needs to make a reasonable effort to contact the objector before this vote takes place. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:54, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
    • It's not our job to chase people up. If people make unsubstantiated objections and then choose not to discuss them on the FAN page or IRC, that's too bad. Thefourdotelipsis 06:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
      • Wonderful attitude. The objector in question isn't avoiding you out of malicious intent. We all have real life responsibilities. Have you even tried contacting him? Toprawa and Ralltiir 07:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
