Oppose

  • Infobox image of poor quality. Rule 15.--Shaelas(HoloConference)CzerkaCorporationLogo-KOTOR 23:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I know, I searched around to try and find better, but I am unable to take screencaps. I'll ask Redemption about it. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 23:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Redemption replaced it with a beautiful picture, many thanks to him.-Solus (Bird of Prey) 00:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Original research in BTS: "Like the Leviathan, the appearance of the Ravager was clearly influenced by the later Star Destroyers of the films." You need to find a source other than the films themselves. --Imp ATATatarismall.png 12:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Since I couldn't find a source, I changed it to "Like the Leviathan, the appearance of the Ravager is similar to the Star Destroyers of the films." Does this suffice, or shall I remove it entirely? -Solus (Bird of Prey) 15:12, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Some unencyclopedic/flowery prose. Some examples (there's a bit more of it, but if you want I can list it elsewhere rather than crowd out this section):
    • "The halls, shaped either rectangular or diamond-like, wound aimlessly through empty rooms, several leading out into nothing but space beyond broken walls, echoing with the dead, lifeless, eerie sounds of a once vibrant way of life."
    • "Barracks still bore beds and quarters, though the beds were frayed and the lights were almost out, killing the warm feel of camaraderie that once filled the room."
    • "...when Darth Nihilus snatched it out of its slumber and once again willed it with the power to fly and destroy..." - Lord Hydronium 03:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Heh, I was hoping to get away with that. At any rate, I believe that has been taken care of. It didn't hurt as much as I thought. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 11:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

  • My most promising little baby. For the Wookiee-Cast thingy. BIG IMPORTANT NOTE: I do not have permission to have a mike so I cannot win anyway. Just entering for fun. Mostly to prove I can do it. Do I pass the test? ;) Seriously, I will try and see if I can get a mike before Sunday, though. Not definite. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 22:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • A few more images please.--Shaelas(HoloConference)CzerkaCorporationLogo-KOTOR 23:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Wouldn't be able to fit anymore. And sometimes it's better for an article to have less. Ever heard the saying "do more with less"? --RedemptionRedemptionusersymbolTalk 23:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • More quotes are available I think.--Shaelas(HoloConference)CzerkaCorporationLogo-KOTOR 23:23, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, there are more quotes; I wrote them down. There is a quote beneath each subheading except the 'Behind the scenes' because I couldn't find one that pertained to the BtS of the Ravager. Adding quotes in the middle of subsections looks messy.-Solus (Bird of Prey) 23:44, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
    • This has been deemed an appropriate submission for the Wookiee-Cast Featured Article Competition. .... 00:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • There's nothing technically wrong with it, but I cannot in good conscience vote for it until this ceases to exist. -- Darth Culator (Talk)(Kills) 02:30, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
    • That thing existed? … with the included stuff, does it not render the other article, and thus, the category, moot? And thus, can an admin blast it into oblivion? <article go boom>-Solus (Bird of Prey) 02:42, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
      • This article's no longer associated with the category, which has been put up for speedying along with the other article. You may start your voting.KEJ 08:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
