Objections

  • Factwise, it's nice and thorough, but something about the writing style bugs me. Several run-on sentences and fragments, suspect phrasing ("the abilities of her former profession complemented her place a master schemer and a Sith Lord"), and some overdone prose. - Lord Hydronium 00:09, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • I second the above. I also think that the article sometimes strays a bit too far from NPOV, though I can see others disagree.Cull Tremayne 21:45, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Go to agree with Hydronium and Tremayne. The writing style in sloppy, filled with awkward bits such as Upon her death, as a final act, she drew upon the Force that radiated from Malachor V, in order to give the Exile a final gift. A prediction of the future of the galaxy and the future of his friends. Style REALLY needs to be cleaned up, to get rid of all the fragments. QuentinGeorge 11:14, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I will add that the article needs a better image for the infobox. --Imp 09:00, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Someone has replaced it with the concept art, will it do? - Sikon [Talk] 13:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • So, whats really keeping this article from being featured? The infobox image and the article has been rewritten more than once already.... —Unsigned comment by Razzy1319 (talk • contribs)
    • The writing style's still very dodgy and overly poetic, almost as if Kreia was narrating it herself. --MarcK [talk] 08:49, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
      • I kinda like the 'overly poetic, almost as if Kreia was narrating it herself' part though KEJ 10:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
      • That'd be great for an essay or piece of fanfiction, but this is an encyclopedia and thus needs to sound encyclopedic and somewhat prosaic. --MarcK [talk] 04:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Cant really see/read what youre saying... it presents the facts as they were. We need another admin's opinion --Razzy1319 05:09, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
"The august boy whom she had taught; the brave knight who defended the weak when his fellows would not; and the fragments of the dark yet noble figure in history was one man trying to carry the weight of the galaxy and its future on his shoulders"
―Kreia article

. Not very encyclopedic. --Imp 17:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments

  • For the mysterious and controversial figure that Kreia is, this article manages to be factual, neutral and complete (although it isn't hard to make a KOTOR-related article complete). I especially like the lead. - Sikon [Talk] 18:16, 12 Jan 2006 (UTC)
