After some updating and tweaking of the wording, I'm fairly happy that the article is quality stuff, even if the topic might be controversial to some. Atarumaster88 
(Talk page) 18:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)- This vote was struck by Atarumaster88, not because of a lack of quality of the article, but by request of others who voiced opinions about a perceived conflict of interest with regards to this article. To prevent any strife or incorrect views, I have struck this vote. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 16:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

- There is no cabal. --Victor talk 04:30, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Er...do you have Ataru's permission to nominate this? Because he's the one who worked on it. Chack Jadson (Talk) 15:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Anyone can nominate any article on Wookieepedia for FA. As it is, I don't care. Atarumaster88

- Are you going to fix any objections that arise, though? -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 20:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Someone better, since this is going to be torturous. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 01:22, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

- Muahaha... of course I'll fix it. I was just away for the weekend but now I've returned. Lay it on me, Wookieepedia. --Victor talk 15:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- As a note, I generally update this article once a month, but will try and kick that up to once every two weeks or so during its FAN. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 18:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- So now Inqs are getting other people to nominate their articles so they can vote for them? I'm so glad to see Ataru's high principles in action. Havac 16:35, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- While I might not agree with the spirit of Havac's post, he has a point, and this goes against the general principle of the no-nominator Inqvote. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- I never had any plans to nominate this for FA. I've said that numerous times on IRC. Vic asked me about it, and I said that I didn't mind if he nominated it, but I did agree to help him with it. If you guys would like, I can defer from voting on this article. Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 22:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
- I would think that would be best in keeping with the spirit of not voting for one's own work -- which I never had a problem with, but the no-nominator-vote policy is policy and this seems like a bit of an end run around it. I'd hate to see a precedent for exploiting such a loophole. Havac 01:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
- I have done so, but in the future, it would be better to not jump to wrong conclusions. I didn't think it would be a problem when I voted, but I see how it could be perceived wrongly. I do wonder what this will mean for co-projects, though, particularly ones where multiply Inquisitors have worked on the project. Should they all be expected to defer on voting? Atarumaster88 (Talk page) 16:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
- That's what I did with Jorj Car'das, and I think if it's a two- or three-person project it should be expected. For things like Project Wormhead I don't think it would be such an issue, since most participants are only likely to have written a small enough portion of the article. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

- Kill Star Wars Fanon. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 22:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Quite frankly, it's a much longer article than the wiki deserves as a fan site, and furthermore verifiability becomes an issue with wiki pages being cited. Graestan(Talk) 22:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Sarah Palin-approved Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- Per GT, but with the note that subject isn't and shouldn't be an issue. I don't think any of the other oppose votes are because of that, I just want it noted on the record, particularly in regards to setting precedents. - Lord Hydronium 20:36, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
