- Cool dude.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 00:58, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
- Nice article. But it's so confusing when you have all those red and black Sith...--ID-21 Dolphin 00:11, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe mention in the intro that Havok killed Sia's mom, otherwise, great work as usual.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 00:24, September 2, 2010 (UTC)- Got it, baby! Thanks for the kind words. Menkooroo 13:40, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

*Seems too short to be a featured article. It would make a better GA candidate, in my opinion.--ID-21 Dolphin 21:18, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant, and certainly not a valid objection. If an article is over 1,000 words in length, it is eligible for FA status. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 21:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
- I was surprised that it got over 1,000 words too --- and that was after trimming the fat. But yeah, > 1000 and it's FAN territory. We even have a rhyme for it: "If it's over a G, it's long enough for me."
... OK, it may be true that I just made that up... Menkooroo 23:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)- All right. If it does satisfy the word length, then I like it. I'll move my vote to the support.--ID-21 Dolphin 00:10, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Behind the scenes
*Just one other thing: maybe mention in the BTS section that his name comes from the English word "havoc", meaning "chaos", or something like that, and link it to a dictionary entry or something. I still have my vote in the "support" section because this can be fixed in a minute or two.--ID-21 Dolphin 23:05, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, that should not be done, as we tend to try and avoid such trivia. Furthermore, no matter how obvious and likely it is, unless an official source has stated that his name came directly from the word "havoc," then it is also speculation. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 23:53, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Per Jujiggum. Unless an official source has told us that that's what he was named for, we can't speculate, no matter how obvious it may seem. Menkooroo 00:26, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Jujiggum
No mention in the P&A of how Draco bested him during their first fight after he turned to the dark side?- Good call. Added.
"…although a mention had been previously made of the only Imperial Knight to have ever left the Order in Legacy's Issue 26." I'm not sure how this is conflicting, unless you give an example of the Knight to which this refers. If we don't know of any other Knights who left the order, then please change the "although," as that makes it sound like this mention is contradicting canon.- Re-worded, baby!
More of a question than an objection: what would you say about creating an article for the first battle between Havok and Draco, when Havoc was presumed dead? If there's just not enough info to make one, that's fine, I'm just wondering.- I'm hesitant to do it --- the the issue just says "I thought I had killed you the last time we met." We have no idea if it was a lightsaber duel, a battle of minds, or even a chess game using nitroglycerine containers. :^P No indication of where it took place, either. I've changed all instances of "battle" to "confrontation", in both this and Draco's articles.
- That's for the best, then; I just wasn't sure exactly how much we knew. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 02:00, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

- Fantastic work, Menkooroo. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 00:07, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! Havok ood day. Menkooroo 00:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Just noting that that pun^ was a win, sir. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 02:00, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
- Agreed. Made me laugh.--ID-21 Dolphin 11:18, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Is there an article for that first confrontation between Draco and Niin? The one where they thought Niin was dead?- No way! See Juggijuggi's comments above.
- Great article, Menk. Cylka-talk- 21:37, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! I'm going to make it after all! Menkooroo 01:12, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
