1. DC's Preliminaries
   • Ref'ing in intro is a big no-no.
   • POVity and OR everywhere.
   • Have fun. DC 23:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
     • Oops, can't believe I missed the intro refs. Anyway, I've taken care of those now, but could you point out some specific instances of POV and OR? I tried to get rid of most of them, but I tend to have a hard time picking them out, thanks! JethLordMaster ^(Talk) 00:40, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
       • Try to stay away from extremely, and things like that. A lot of your POV/OR is like that, trying to explain just how bloodthirsty he was, but you are exaggerating it too much. Also, in the P&T, make sure you say it was HK-47's POV or another character's POV, or it violates the rule. DC 00:50, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Oh, one more thing, no linking in quotes. DC 00:51, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
     • I think I've cleaned up most of the POV/OR issues and addressed your other objections. JethLordMaster ^(Talk)
       • Meh, there still is some POV, though you did a great job of removing most of it. Here's the last of them:
         • Avoid massive and devastating in the intro.
         • Several odd quirks in P&T, avoid the word odd, and rewrite the sentence.
     • Done. JethLordMaster ^(Talk)
       • You're gonna have lots of fun with the full review comes, this was just the preliminary stuff :P
     • Well, I knew cleaning up after the anons wasn't going to be easy. Have at it! :D JethLordMaster ^(Talk)

1. Nayayen says Nay
   • I'm fairly sure there could be more links. As a rule of thumb I go by: a link is repeated in the infobox, intro, image captions and the main article.
     • I added a few more links and I think the amount is sufficient now. JethLordMaster ^(Talk)
       • I've added in a few more on top of those that you put in. NayayenTalk 22:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
   • As DC mentioned, POV is oozing from this article.
     • It all looks clean to me now. NayayenTalk 19:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
   • The Back with Revan sub-section could do with some expansion.
     • Expanded.
   • In the Jedi Exile sub-section there is mention of the HK Factory. This should be removed as it is cut content, it is in the Bts already so half your work is already done.
     • Cheers Mauser, I wasn't aware of that. NayayenTalk 14:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Any quote for the Jedi Exile section?
     • Done! JethLordMaster ^(Talk)
     • Suggestion: Address these objections meatbag and I will support. NayayenTalk 18:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
2. Cylka:
   • Some more context is needed for Revan when he is first introduced. This needs to include context for Malachor V, the final battle there and the Mandalorian Wars, in addition to his betrayal of the Order.
     • Done. NaruHina ^Talk 14:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
   • More information is needed about HK's time with Revan. HK has a lot of dialog with the Exile concerning his "early years."
   • More explanation is needed about the droid factory found on Telos.
   • A bit more is needed explaining HK's first mission to Mandalorian space and the capture of Revan, and Revan's subsequent memory wipe by the Jedi Council.
   • In the section from master to master, the paragraphs are a bit too short. Try to link them together a bit more.
     • Is this good? NaruHina ^Talk 06:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
   • There is quite a bit of detail missing from HK's reunion with Revan and the mission at the Sand People enclave. This needs to be expanded.
   • Again, the section involving HK's travels with the Jedi Exile are bare bones. There is much more information to be added, especially concerning HK's dealings with G0-T0 and his final showdown on Malachor V.
   • The paragraphs in the Mustafar section are a bit too short, and they could probably be condensed a bit more.
     • Done NaruHina ^Talk 18:28, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
   • The P&T still has some POV issues. I believe that it would be best to describe him from the point of view of the companions, using their opinions of his personality. Furthermore, I think that any information regarding his protocol functions and the techniques he used to kill Jedi should go in the abilities section.
     • Fixed the Ability part. NaruHina ^Talk 06:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
   • The abilities section could use a bit more detail esp concerning his techniques in fighting Jedi. There seems to be a bit of information missing from KotOR II missing.
     • Added. JethLordMaster ^(Talk)
   • In the Bts, there is information missing from KotOR II again. It would be worthwhile to explain a bit of the companion influence system, since it is only with a high influence that a player will be able to learn about HK's time with Revan and the techniques to kill Jedi. The Bts definitely needs some more expansion.
   • HK's voice actor needs to have a reference.
     • Done NaruHina ^Talk 06:46, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
   • I think the Bts is sub-sectioned a bit too much, especially since those sub-sections themselves are only a paragraph each. I believe that the only sub-section of the Bts that is needed is the cut-content.
     • Done.
   • There needs to be a bit more context in the cut content in regards to Nihilus and his attack on Telos.
     • Done.
   • There are some linking issues with some things double and triple linked, and other articles not linked at all. The article needs to be checked for this.
     • Fixed, I believe NaruHina ^Talk 22:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
   • A screenshot of HK from his travels with the Exile would add a lot I think, since he does look much different and is actually quite upset by his exterior appearance.
     • Added NaruHina ^Talk 17:48, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
   • Overall, the article is in good shape when it comes to information from KotOR I and Galaxies, but there is a lot of information missing from KotOR II that needs to be added in. It's well on its way, though. Cylka^-talk- 11:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Comments A note to Nayayen: please remember that HK factory was canonize by the NEGTD and KOTORCG. Mauser 13:27, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Remove nomination (AgriCorps vote only)

1. Some objections sit that haven't been touched since the beginning of February. It is my belief that both the nominator and the adopter are stretched too thinly to cover this. Graestan^(Talk) 13:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
2. We've got a lot of noms to deal with, so our tolerance for stagnant noms grows considerably low. If you can't stay up on it, it gets the boot. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:10, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
3. As much as this pains me, I have to agree with both Graestan and Toprawa. Cylka^-talk- 03:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
