Oppose

  1. A few things:
    • "Ngaaluh was a female Yuuzhan Vong Deception Sect priestess; during the Yuuzhan Vong War, however, she became a leading member of the heretical movement among the lower castes of her species, a movement which eventually proved crucial in the downfall of the Yuuzhan Vong Empire." I suggest removing the semi-colon and making these two separate sentences.
      • Yeah I rearranged the intro a little. See how you like it Harrar 09:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Link villip the first time it's mentioned. Chack Jadson (Talk) 16:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Linked. Thanks for your help. Harrar 09:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. From the Forest of Goodwood:
    • Can we get bullet points for the Affiliation field of the infobox?
      • Yep! Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The IU consensus seems to be that "Deception Sect" should not be capitalized, please fix.
      • De-capitalized everywhere. Except for Deception sect in infobox. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Please reword "by her mysterious wartime captive" in the intro for accuracy. Vergere was not her captive specifically, rather the subject of her interrogation efforts.
      • Done. See how you like it. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Executor should not be capitalized.
      • So should Prefect and Intendant not be either. De-capitalized Executors. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
        • In essence, you've nailed it; prefect and intendant are capitalized when used as titles or when referring to the Intendant caste.--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 23:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • "As a disciple of Yun-Harla, Ngaaluh was well-versed in subterfuge and intelligence, and it was simple for her, with an honest degree of piety, to locate the heretical movement thriving in the underlevels of re-shaped Coruscant." This sentence could perhaps be rewritten. In addition, please add a link to Yu'shaa immediately after.
      • Rewritten, link added. See if you like it. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The second paragraph of the Infiltration section needs to be rewritten for order and clarity.
      • I hope I've re-written the right paragraph, and I hope I've made it better. Have a look Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • There seems to be a missing conjunction here "When one inquisition into Prefect Ash'ett of the Vishtu Sector was organized, Ngaaluh regarded the framing and discrediting of the Prefect as a chance to install a loyal heretic in his place; Anor was merely ridding himself of an old rival.".
      • Was re-worded with the rest of the paragraph. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • "Ngaaluh was a fanatic who swore to give her life, and did so, for the movement in which she believed so passionately." could be rewritten a bit better, transposing the "and did so" clause to the end and tweaking it a bit.
      • Rewritten. See what you think. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • The last sentence of the BtS section is a bit of a run-on.
      • (Hopefully) nailed it. Harrar 14:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
    • TIMMMMMMBERRRRRRRRR!!!--Goodwood Redstarbird (Alliance Intelligence) 21:07, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  3. From the desk of Atarumaster88
    • The way you have written the BTS, there is little need to add the footnote ref tags. The mention of each novel in the relevant sentence(s) makes it unnecessary.
      • Removed the ref tags.
    • Other than that, it looks good. Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 01:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Thanks for looking at it dude. Harrar 16:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
  4. File:AnorUnifyingforce2jc.jpg—what is this? --Imperialles 21:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
    • It's a picture of Nom Anor; I thought the article needed at least one picture and as there are none of Ngaaluh herself I put one of her manipulator in instead...anyway, I can remove if you want. I don't really understand your objection. Harrar 18:26, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
      • As it's from a Japanese cover, getting a better scan is not going to be easy, if that is your objection. --Eyrezer 00:05, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Pic removed --Eyrezer 22:54, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Comments

  • Sadly there is no picture, and I'm not too sure about having Nom Anor in there—more of a way of breaking up the text. Good fun to write though (and sorry it's another character) :P Harrar 15:34, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I have to skip this one, unfortunately. Reading through Force Heretic currently; spoilers. Graestan(Talk) 17:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Do we have any information for an Early Life section, or at least something before 2.1? Hobbes(Tiger's Lair) 21:14, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I'm sorry Hobbes but Ngaaluh's younger years are not touched upon - I believe she's supposed to be pretty youthful herself, and it's only the details that she's part of Harrar's entourage that stand out, among other things. I think to add it would call for a fair deal speculation, but tell me what you think. Harrar 12:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
