Imperialles 19:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)- The only thing that makes me feel better about how long it takes to read your FAs is knowing how long it must take to write the damn things. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 02:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

- From the pounded desk of Four Dot:
"He also looked up to Thrawn, a master tactician and strategist and the founder of the government his father served and whose name remained respected years after his death in 9 ABY leading the Empire against the New Republic." - Seemingly incessant "ands".- God, they were, weren't they? Havac 17:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
"totaled" is not just informal, it's slang.- Alternate word now in place. Havac 17:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
"Fel predicted that she would have them pain their fighters individually, and decided to pain his clawcraft black" - I would have assumed "paint", but you've done it twice...?- Damn Ts. Havac 17:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
"which the ship's dovin basal-generate voids caught" - Should that be "generated"?- Yeah, unless I can call them "degenerate voids". That would be fun. Havac 17:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
"crush" is informal.- Compared to what? Shall I have to resort to florid, 1860s-love-letter-style terms to describe Zekk's intense longing for the hand of his fair and virtuous lady? Do we have to be that formal? I mean, what word do we have for what Zekk had but a crush? It's not like I'm saying "Zekk, a young man who had long wanted to get in her pants," is it?

- I'm sure there are other ways of wording it out there. Thefourdotelipsis 22:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

- I think this would make a better infobox image... --Eyrezer 05:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- It's a disembodied head, and it's also not as good a depiction, and it's also from the NEGTC, which is already vastly overused. I tend to favor the current one. More of an infobox feel to me. 17:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. It has a less distracting background, and is no less a disembodied head as the NJO cover depiction. QuentinGeorge 08:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Gotta go with Eyrezer and QG here. Jag isn't even looking at the "camera" in that pic. :-P Cull Tremayne 16:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- There are heads, and then there are heads which are literally disembodied. And as for looking at the camera -- please Christ no. The last thing we need is another "I'm staring at you" infobox mugshot. Also, the other one has incorrect eye color. Replacing that would also require me to find a replacement for the other image, which the current infobox shot couldn't do, being chronologically off. I think these things through very thoroughly, I consider all these things before I nom it. And I have to say that, on every count, I prefer the current image. Havac 18:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
