Oppose

  1. At a glance:
    • Infobox: Source everything. And provide a proper link to his droid model.
    • Introduction: Remove the whole "Marko" thing. It's both irrelevant to the introduction and pure speculation.
    • Introduction: "He often accompanied Ace Azzameen during the latter's life," Who's the latter? Only Ace has been mentioned previously to this sentence.
    • 1: File:Marko.jpg—why is this here? It's just a random image, and does nothing to support the text.
      • Removed. Thought it provided a nice shot of MK, but it is indeed unnecessary.
    • 1.1: Two one-sentence paragraphs? Come on. At least merge the paragraphs together.
      • Addressed.
    • 1.2.1: Header: "Business" in "Family Business" needs to be decapitalized.
      • Addressed
    • 1.3: "Further developments" is a pretty awkward title. Any way to reword it?
      • That was a problem I couldn't find a solution to. Any suggestions?
        • "Further exploits"? --Imperialles 13:14, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
    • 1.3.4: "Unknown fate" sentence needs to be removed.
    • 2.1: Merge a few paragraphs together. There's some excessive linebreaks.
    • 3: What's the relevance of the quote to the section, other than the fact that the droid himself uttered it?
      • Well, it's non-canon, so it wouldn't fit elsewhere... I can remove if you don't think it's necessary.
    • 3: The three one-sentence paragraphs need to either be expanded enough to warrant separate paragraphs or be merged together.
      • Partly addressed. Still can't figure out the voice actor issue.
    --Imperialles 20:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Addressed some of your concerns, as well as offered insight to why some are there. Jorrel Wiki-shrinkable Fraajic 21:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  2. From the Heavily Pounded Desk of Four Dot
      • Obsidian is in Kuati space?
        • Addressed. Misread my information, I guess.
      • Might want to add a note about Complete Cross-Sections contradiction with the Tydirium thing.
        • Footnoted.
      • I kinda assumed that his room was aboard the Sabra and Otana judging by the composition...
        • Others may not know, though. Not everone has played the game.
      • That's all. Thefourdotelipsis 10:45, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
        • I believe I addressed all of your concerns, 4dot. Jorrel Wiki-shrinkable Fraajic 16:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  3. From the <insert amusing location here> of Green Tentacle:
    • Copilot or co-pilot. I don't care, but consistency would be nice.
      • Which is more grammar-friendly?
    • Family training: What ship are they in for all this stuff?
      • Addressed.
    • Either link Aeron again here or remove the link to Emon. Poor girl. :P
      • Linked.
    • New Republic era doesn't start straight after Endor does it?
      • Already removed, though I would like to know what the era from the time of the Battle of Endor to the foundation of the New Republic is.
    • Stationed aboard the Liberty, paragraph 3: Could be a little clearer what they were after.
      • You mean the warheads? Done.
    • Stationed aboard the Liberty, paragraph 4: "During his tour, the Rebellion enlisted Ace's squadron to investigate an Imperial sensor station and research facility located in Kuati space, which Ace and company made off with success." Maybe it's just me but the end of that doesn't seem to make sense.
      • Hmm. It doesn't. Fixed.
    • Stationed aboard the Liberty, paragraph 4: Source please.
      • Sourced.
    • Stationed aboard the Liberty, paragraph 7: "Ace, MK-09, and Aeron left in the Otana and rendezvoused with Aeron" Aeron rendezvoused with herself?
      • Fixed.
    • Darker times for the family, paragraph 2: "Ace finally piloted the ship close enough to get enough radio signal" Enough with the enoughs. :P
      • I too have had enough. ENOUGH.
    • Darker times for the family, paragraph 3: "The pair of ships then arrived in the proximity of the station, leaving Ace and Emkay responsible for dropping off the container close, but not too close, to the station, leaving it for the tugs to collect, and went and joined Dunari's ship in waiting for the boom." Can you break up that sentence? It goes wandering half way through.
      • Addressed
    • Alliance service, paragraph 6: "Emkay left with Ace in the Sabra, filled with a team of commandos. The team made their way to the customs station located just inside Zhar space, where they transmitted a fake manifesto of the cargo aboard the YT-2000." The Sabra isn't a YT-2000.
      • You're right. I missed that in my edit.
    • A new source of hope, paragraph 2: Remove the link to I have a bad feeling about this since it's OOU.
      • I did have a bad feeling about that.
    • Characteristics, paragraph 1: Needs a source.
      • 2 for the price of one: Sourced.
    • Not so much an objection but where is the Ace's transfer to the Independence mentioned since it'd be worth mentioning in the Independence article.
      • That, GT, is mentioned at the finale of the Battle of Endor sequence, in the post-mission briefing.
        • UPDATE: Actually, no, it is not (as you pointed out). But it is in there, in the form of a random audio cue on the concourse screen after the Battle of Endor. If you want an exact recording, I can get it for you, but that would involve extra work. ;-)
    • Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:24, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Addressed all but the first of your objections. Anything else? Jorrel Wiki-shrinkable Fraajic 02:49, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
  4. Please source the Azzameen family affiliation in the infobox—that's the only thing I've seen wrong after reading it. Greyman(Paratus) 13:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  5. From the lair of Hobbes15
    • The last two sentences of the intro are unclear. Although I'm pretty sure you're talking about MK, the reader may not be sure if the article is talking about him or Ace.
      • Clarified.
    • The quote for Joining the Alliance to Restore the Republic doesn't make sense. One of the Azzameens is talking to MK, yet nowhere in the quote does it say that MK said anything.
      • Huh. That "Emon" was supposed to be "Emkay". Fixed.
    • "As Ace continued to track the Corrupter..." When did he start tracking it in the first place?
      • Well, hmm. Added.

  • History. I didn't realize this article took so long to make. Sheesh. Jorrel Wiki-shrinkable Fraajic 19:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Could you perhaps use a scrollbox for the references to avoid the horizontal scrollbar? -- Ozzel 21:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Yessir, I can, and... done. Jorrel Wiki-shrinkable Fraajic 16:41, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
