Nom Anor

  • Nominated by: 501st dogma(talk) 21:11, January 1, 2015 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM. After 1 year, 3 months, 8 days, it is finally done. I apologize in advance for length (40 k words ish) and realize that this will not be passed for a long, long time. Thanks go to all those who helped me with sources and whatnot, especially Cav, for tolerating my constant source requests. Also, if this article goes too in depth in places with unnecessary info, just call me out, as I had a little trouble determining what was relevant and what could get cut....

  • "He rose through the ranks of the caste, and he was soon awarded the rank of Executor among the Yuuzhan Vong, and given the job of the first advance scout of the Praetorite Vong, a group from the intendant caste; at that time, the Yuuzhan Vong were preparing to invade a galaxy other then their own to establish a new home. " Can you break this into two sentences?
    • Done
  • Same paragraph, why did he gouge his eye out with a burning stick?
    • Reread the text, looks like he was feeling devoted that day.
  • Did Anor create the plaeryin bol? Our article on it only refers to him as a notable user.
    • Seems I misread that part.
  • Where did he meet Carnor Jax?
    • I'm pretty sure the source never said where they met up, but I can't find the source to verify at the moment. If you want to be super sure, I'll track down where I got the info it had about Nom from.
      • Yes please, just to be sure. Supreme Emperor (talk) 03:40, September 14, 2016 (UTC)
        • Thanks to a helpful Shien from the IRC, confirmed that no place is mentioned. 501st dogma(talk) 18:46, October 2, 2016 (UTC)
  • "and the Yuuzhan Vong met briefly with Carivus" by Yuuzhan Vong are you referring to Anor, or multiple other Yuuzhan Vong? Supreme Emperor (talk) 00:51, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
    • That's Nom Nom. Added "agent' to clarify. Thanks for taking a look at a stupidly long article. 501st dogma(talk) 00:48, August 21, 2016 (UTC)
  • Under "The rise of Nom Anor, and initial scouting", can you clarify what Jax was emperor of?
    • Added Galactic in front of Emperor. Hope that indicates well enough that he was the aspiring emperor for the Galactic Empire.
  • Is there any clarification regarding why Anor decided to try to form an alliance with the Sith?
    • Nope. I assume it was for nefarious purposed though.
  • "a member of the council, whom he had follow a set of instructions" What instructions and why did he follow them?\
    • It's unclear on what exact instructions carivus followed, but they were meant to move the man into power among the council. I've edited to clarify that.
  • Why did he assassinate Burr Nolyds?
    • Clarified, it was meant to push Carivus into power.
  • What was the significance of him using an explosive device with the designation of Kanos on it? Supreme Emperor (talk) 03:40, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
    • Done. 501st dogma(talk) 15:38, October 30, 2016 (UTC)
  • "obtain a chunk of zinethium material" Although you specify the explosive properties two sentences later, could you specify it here instead when it's introduced?
    • Done.
  • "Anor also destabilized the Imperial Moffs, to make the invasion easier." How did he destabilize the Moffs?
    • It's never said. Anor mentions it in a quite in Jedi eclipse, but it is not elaborated on elsewhere.
  • "Nom Anor placed his coomb spores" Can you clarify what coomb spores are?
    • I think it's clear already that the the coomb spores were poisonous spores, but I've added that they are poisonous.
  • "the species of the individual influenced how long it took the coomb spores to take effect, and all except Mara Jade Skywalker died from the disease" Can you specify what kind of time frame it was for all of the others to die? Supreme Emperor (talk) 03:35, May 6, 2017 (UTC)
    • Added. 501st dogma(talk) 17:27, May 28, 2017 (UTC)
  • "The newt would then be able to tell whether the Jedi, one of the only individuals infected with the comb spores who were still alive, was still in the clutches of the disease" Can you reword this a bit to clarify that the newt had the ability to detect coomb spores?
  • "instructed Tinoktin to bring the lizard near the mouth of Jade Sabre during the meeting. " What are you referring to when you say the mouth of the Jade Sabre?
  • "To avoid meeting the group in his private quarters" Why did Anor want to avoid meeting the group in his private quarters?
  • "In the hallway, Anor lectured the group about failings of the New Republic and the New Jedi Order after refusing to let them discuss the Rhommamoolian-Osarian problem in a more comfortable location." Why did he abruptly lecture the group, and why did he refuse to discuss the issue in a more comfortable location? Supreme Emperor (talk) 05:36, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

Comments

  • Wavering Loyalties section has no quote because I literally could not find a quote that fit that section... 501st dogma(talk) 21:11, January 1, 2015 (UTC)
  • Probably too many images of things only slightly related to Nom Anor, such as an image of the Jedi Temple. Maybe keep 2/3 of them.ID-21 Dolphin DolphinJedi(Talk) 12:51, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
    • Without them, it would be walls of text, which it already is in some sections. It's standard procedure to add images of things in the text that are not of the subject if there are not enough images available of the subject. 501st dogma(talk) 13:08, August 19, 2015 (UTC)
      • Right, but maybe it could do with a little fewer in some sections. But it's your call, I won't micromanage.ID-21 Dolphin DolphinJedi(Talk) 09:34, August 21, 2015 (UTC)
