Oppose

  1. From the Vong-Slaying Star Destroyer of Chack Jadson:
    • Context on Nyax please (in the intro).
    • Give a few more words making it clear who won the battle in the body.
    • In the first sentence of P&T, any reason you source in the middle of the sentence?
    • Info-packed. Chack Jadson (Talk) 01:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
      • Addressed all of these, although I assume that last one isn't an objection. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 13:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
  2. Toprawa's Swinging Hammer of Good Spelling and Grammar
    • This needs some kind of context. "Fleet Group Three" is a very vague concept: "where much of Fleet Group Three was stationed and was incorporated into the New Republic Intelligence units"
      • I hate to break it to you, but Fleet Group Three in general is a very vague concept throughout much of the Enemy Lines books. Tried to clear it up some, but there's really nothing more I can give.
    • Again, for context, a year accompanying this would do nicely: "After the Battle of Coruscant"
      • Fixed, but seriously, you could have just added the year in far less time than it took to write that out.
        • Yes, I could have, but I've never read the material and am unfamiliar with it. With all due respect, this is your nomination, and the researching is your responsibility. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
    • If this Lord Nyax is actually Ismaren, as the article tells me, should this not be pipelinked to Ismaren? "the deranged Dark Jedi Lord Nyax"
    • Adviser/Advisor. Pick one and stick with it: "Latt served as an advisor to Jaina Solo"..."under Solo to act as one of her personal advisers"
    • Few things here. Context for Beelyath and please specify why the launching is significant. You might even create an article for Twins Sun Ten, but I won't push it: "piloted by Beelyath, and was responsible for launching the Goddess missile as Twin Suns Ten."
    • Please handle the intro and I'll continue through the remainder of the article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
    • Having never read this, I have no idea what this is referring to. What deceptions used previously? A little elaboration would probably clarify: "He criticized some of the deceptions she had employed against the Yuuzhan Vong in Hapes, saying they were too one-dimensional and that they could be eventually deciphered." Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:40, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
      • I deliberately didn't include the information because it's not easily explained and it's enough IMHO for the reader to know that Solo was executing deceptive tactics in Hapes; the specifics can be found elsewhere. At any rate, I've shoehorned an explanation into there, but I don't like it. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 22:23, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
        • Well, I think it works ok. Reduce it by any means if you wish. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments

  • No images of Sharr Latt exist, AFAIK. I looked when I did Wraith Squadron, but I added a Battle of Borleias image.
  • At 1,074 words, this is less than 4% of Wraith Squadron. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 19:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
