  3. Inqvote Interesting read, and a different type of FAN. Although, I do agree with Eyrezer, as I think that the title move of the article was completely unneeded—in fact, I have a lot to say about it, but I won't brandish them on here…for obvious reasons.

    • To clarify, it was originally at "Wooden-hulled battleship" until I moved it to "Farfalla's flagship" while nomming it. --Eyrezer 07:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

  6. Inqvote No objections from me. I don't like the way the LFL folks have messed with continuity and defied logic, but that doesn't detract from the article. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 03:49, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
  7. InqvotePer Ataru. Even though I hate it when LFL can't get themselves straight, the article itself does a good job of fitting everything together. Hobbes(Tiger's Lair) 20:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. From the Forest of Goodwood
    • Title should be reverted to Wooden-hulled battleship and ((conjecture)) tag removed.
      • Against my better judgment but done.
    • The line "Farfalla then led broke through the blockade, in a crucial intervention that helped turn the tide of the war" in the intro needs to be fixed for grammar and clarity; also, "300 Knights" should probably be put in word form.
      • Fixed
    • When describing the third sail, the following statement is made: "this one [was] purple with a large crest emblazoned upon it—likely the Farfalla family crest". Is there a source for this?
      • Probably overreaching. Removed. --Eyrezer 07:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Is it really necessary to make a redlink out of "starship design"?
      • We lack an article on starship design, therefore a redlink.
        • What I mean to say, is it necessary to make a link to an article that, in all likelihood, won't get made?--Goodwood Redstarbird (For the Rebellion!) 09:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
          • Do we want the Wookieepedia to be complete or what? --Eyrezer 10:12, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
    • In general the Design section needs a fairly extensive prose revision; there are a number of stubby sentences and some awkward moments in the text.
    • Links to colors (purple, gold. etc.) are not needed.
      • Done
    • Links to Jedi Order and New Sith Empire should be added to the History section.
      • Done
    • Should the "conflicting sources" template be added?
    • TIMMMMMBERRRRRRR!!!--Goodwood Redstarbird (For the Rebellion!) 08:11, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. File:Woodenbattleship.jpg, File:Farfalla's flagship stern.jpg and File:Fairwind-JvS5.jpg all need to be re-scanned—they're distorted. --Imperialles 10:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Rescanned two, but the other one is from issue no. 5, I believe, and I seem to have misplaced my copy. I'll keep looking, but if someone else can scan it, go right ahead. Or, y'know, we could just ignore the minor scanner artifacts (which are gone when thumbnailed anyway), but that might be too easy. ;-)-- Ozzel 01:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Now all three have been rescanned. --Eyrezer 04:33, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  3. "Designed to resemble ancient seafaring vessels" is a bit of a reach. The wording in the main body is more neutral; please change the intro to match. Graestan(Talk) 23:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Reworded. --Eyrezer 03:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
