Oppose

  1. From the Forest of Goodwood:
    • Introduction could be expanded/fleshed out.
    • The line "Q9-X2 fitted himself with low-power repulsor pads he could hover above obstacles." needs to be fixed, with perhaps a link to repulsorlift added.
    • Infobox needs to be sourced.
    • The article's prose seems to be generally stilted; numerous small paragraphs blend awkwardly with each other. Either fix the transitions or blend the paragraphs. Still too many short, stubby sentences.
    • History paragraph could possibly be split, as well as the two P&T paragraphs merged.
    • BtS needs to be sourced.
    • TIMMMMMBERRRRRRRR!!!--Goodwood Redstarbird (For the Rebellion!) 13:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. Unsourced image. I haven't read the novels he appears in, but surely a fellow who appears in five novels could have a slightly longer history section. As I said, this is merely an assumption so please tell me if I'm mistaken. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 19:58, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
    • He actually plays somewhat of a minor role in the Corellian trilogy, and does nothing worth mentioning in the other two appearances. There's nothing relevant to add. Chack Jadson (Talk) 19:46, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Okay. What about a note saying he was still in action several years later or something to that extent? -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 20:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
        • Added something like that. Chack Jadson (Talk) 02:03, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
          • Seems a bit lazy in my opinion. In AOCII, Q9's present on Centerpoint when Anakin is about to fire it, and sides with Ebrihim in telling him not to, and so the Hapan fleet is wiped out. Not only that, but you could make something of the fact that he's reunited with all the players from the Corellian trilogy. If you don't have the book then I get condensing the later actions to a throwaway sentence, but otherwise there's at least a short paragraph of info there. I know it's only GA but it's still supposed to be informative. Harrar 23:55, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
            • I don't have the book, but I can try to add a little more info. Just something like Q9 was present on Centerpoint when Jacen (right?) fired it, something the droid disagreed with. Just a few sentences about that, if you feel it's sufficient. Chack Jadson (Talk) 00:43, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
              • Well what happens is the NR readies Centerpoint to be fired to wipe out the Yuuzhan Vong when they supposedly attack Corellia or Bothawui. They call in Anakin (because he's linked the the station) and Anakin arrives with Jacen. Ebrihim and Q9 are there, and tell Anakin not to fire it. Then the Yuuzhan Vong attack Fondor, and the Hapans jump in to attack the Yuuzhan Vong. Thrackan Sal-Solo, who's also present (out of prison now), tells Anakin to fire the station on the Yuuzhan Vong. Ebrihim et al say no, Jacen chimes in and tells Anakin no, so Anakin doesn't fire Centerpoint. Thrackan grabs the stick and shoots, wiping out half the Yuuzhan Vong fleet at Fondor and much of the Hapan fleet, because it isn't calibrated for him. There you have it! Sorry if I was overly critical above :P Harrar 16:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
                • No problem. And thanks for this info. I'll add that. Chack Jadson (Talk) 13:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
