- For the infobox picture, it is preferable to have the person's latest known appearance. In this case, X1's appearance as a Sith Lord. QuiGonJinn

- I know, but the current headshot is the highest-quality one available, as there's a problem with the quality of the available images of X1 online. If I can find a nice images of him as a Sith Lord, I'll put it in the infobox.--ID-21 Dolphin 16:18, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- What's wrong with File:X1 close-up.jpg? I think it would be OK for the infobox. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 18:54, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
- It's poorly cropped and doesn't look as nice as the current image. If I can find a high quality headshot of him as a Sith, I'll change the main image.--ID-21 Dolphin 02:40, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
- That may be true to an extent, but it is a far more appropriate and better quality image than the existing one. I strongly suggest changing it, as well. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 13:15, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Some of the images are incredibly low quality. Normally, I would not say anything about it, but File:X1-Kashyyyk.jpg and File:X1-Sith.jpg are particularly poor. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 16:06, August 13, 2010 (UTC)
- I'll try to fix these, especially the one of him on Kashyyyk.--ID-21 Dolphin 16:17, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm curious as to the status of these images, as they have been unchanged. If you do not have the technology or capability to do such, that's fine, but I would then encourage you to ask around. Put up a Senate Hall thread or something to ask. People are always on IRC to help or point you in the right direction. I want to caution about letting this nomination sit with these issues outstanding for too much longer. I perused the prose today, real quickly, and saw things that will need to be addressed. So, there is work to be done even after the images. I'd love to see you get your first successful FAN, but a more proactive approach is needed as this is basically encroaching upon three weeks with no activity. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 13:15, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
- I've posted a question in the Senate Hall asking if anyone had HQ images. If it doesn't work, should the nomination be removed? I'm working on a new article, Battle of Endor, and plan to nominate it in a day or two. If I can't find any more images, you can always remove the nomination for X1 until I can get new images.--ID-21 Dolphin 21:26, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

It's on me…
- I'm seeing a lot of overlinking, in the infobox and article. You only need to link to any particular article once, so please take a look through and cut back. Once that's done, I'll go over the article again.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 22:22, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

This article simply does not seem to be up to FAN quality. It's 31 KB, whereas X2, X1's brother, is 62 KB. I don't have the game, but surely X1 could be expanded. In addition, there are a lot of lniks to redirects and shoddy images. I doubt that this article is comprehensive enough. Chack Jadson (Talk) 22:54, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

- I know that I'm not part of the Inq, but I'm not voting, just saying that I fully agree with your proposal. Please remove the nomination. However, this article is as long as possible, as X1 is a more minor characetr than X1: he is not playable in the campign and only appears in certain missions, not all of them. I have a new nomination, so remove the nomination if you want.--ID-21 Dolphin 01:36, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
