Objections

  1. Could we find a picture? Jediknight19bby (Jedi High Council Chambers) 14:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
    • I think there are no pictures. I also think that the fact that there are no images in the article is not a valid reason to object. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 15:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
      • I think you should keep the count, so that nobody thinks you and Ataru are one. Jediknight19bby (Jedi High Council Chambers) 15:21, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
        • Whaaa..? Hmm, Did you just accuse Jedimca0 of being a sockpuppet of Ataru? :P Greyman(Paratus) 15:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
          • No, I simply said that he should keep the count. Jediknight19bby (Jedi High Council Chambers) 16:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
            • JediKnight19bby, my forgetting to update the count was an honest mistake and one that you've personally forgotten numerous times to do. You placing your above comment was unnecessary, since it was an honest mistake, which everyone else was able to realize, including Ataru. Also, further responses should not be left as they do not contribute to the improvement of the article. thank you. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 16:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  2. There's just a couple things which need to be cleared up:
    • The second paragraph of "Dealings with Solo" needs to be sourced.
      • Fixed.
    • Is it possible to get a ref tag from The New Essential Chronology somewhere in the article since it's listed in the sources? I found Xaverri on page 93, the exact quote being "As the months passed, the new partners met dozens of offbeat individuals, such as Shug Ninx, Sala Zend, and Xaverri.", but couldn't find it anywhere else. Maybe a {{Mo}} tag is called for if that's the case?
      • Clarified, discussed via IRC. Greyman(Paratus) 18:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Xaverri is also in The Essential Chronology, being mentioned twice → "They formed a partnership and, as the months passed, met dozens of offbeat individuals such as smuggler-mechanic Shug Nix, the beautiful and exotic technician Salla Zend, and the female con artist Xaverri." → Pg. 29, and, "Meanwhile, Solo stayed largely out of sight, working as a magician's assistant on Xaverri's six month illusionist tour." → Pg. 29. I went ahead and added The Essential Chronology to the Sources list, but I'll leave it to your discretion on what to do about the ref tags, or if you feel this calls for another {{Mo}} tag ;)
      • Clarified, discussed via IRC. Greyman(Paratus) 18:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Other than that, it looks and reads great. Cheers, Greyman(Paratus) 17:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
  • From the park bench of Four Dot
    • "the surname was listed last after a series of ancestral ties, so she took no other name than simply "Xaverri"." - So...did she produce the name from her posterior, or was it actually a part of her name?
    • "The two started going out, and on their third date, Xaverri kissed Han Solo." - This sounds infantile and irrelevant. An alternative should be found, methinks.
    • "However, two of their scams were not as successful and she and Han were forced to run through the countryside, evading pursuit by hiding up to their necks in a swamp, until Chewbacca was able to pick them up in her ship." - What about the other time?
      • If the source had the details, I would tell you. It doesn't. Corrected, I suppose. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 20:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Italicise ship names.
    • "Xaverri then revealed that Waru had been summoned to Crseih by experiments performed by the Imperial Procurator of Justice and that the Procurator and Waru had formed an alliance that would bring considerable power." - This is unwieldly. I would suggest a rephrasmentialisationing.
    • Would it hurt to have a few images? You know, of Waru, of the Battle of Nar Shadaa...it would spice it up a little, y'know?
    • Dual redlinks. I forgot what the limit was.
    • "performing increasing difficult feats." - I'm not sure that works.
    • "Some of her tricks included lasering a volunteer from the audience in half, then lasering herself in two pieces also." - Lasering is a word?
    • Lando Calrissian in the relationships section. Imagine if we had relationships sections for real life people. How many subsections would we have to have for Natalie Portman? A lot. Feelings were'nt reciprocated, no relationship.
    • "Furthermore, Xaverri was capable of flying her own ship, the Phantasm." - A woman? Flying a ship? That's ridiculous! Seriously though...do we need that phrase?
      • It's a Talents section. It lists Xaverri's talents, and piloting is one of them. Rephrased anyway. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 20:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
    • That's all. Thefourdotelipsis 04:48, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Why not just put the Xaverri's magic section into the traits section? Seems redundant. --Eyrezer 05:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
