| | # Adding '''[[Templar Jensaarai]]''' for discussion [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 18:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Agron Dyrce]]''' has been coming along. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Needs images in the body to break up the text. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Could use some more linking further down. This might be a time thing, as in Agron just needs more time to develop character history and interactions. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Evelyn Wyvern]]''' is lavishly illustrated and has been getting some love lately. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Even moreso than Agron, this needs more written content. I know the character has the history and relationships to fill this out, so hopefully the nomination will spur Jenni to move some of that to the wiki. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 21:08, 28 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## Construction template removed so this is fair game. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 05:19, 4 July 2024 (UTC) |
| | # Adding '''[[Fort Blindshot]]''' for consideration following Tor's recent updates. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 11:43, 17 April 2024 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: AI art. Not a dealbreaker but I try to avoid it. |
| | # Nora mentioned '''[[Selika Roh]]''' in chat--kind of surprised it wasn't featured in the past. It hasn't had a real update since 2020 but a little spring cleaning could get it there. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | #'''[[Reiden Karr]]''' needs to be completed so it can be reconsidered for nomination again. [[User:Bentre Sadow|Bentre]] ([[User talk:Bentre Sadow|talk]]) 01:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Section ''Darkness Elevated (34 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | ## CON: Section ''Collective Assault & A New Legacy (35 ABY)'' needs completed |
| | # '''[[Rian Taldrya]]''' at a glance might make the makings of a featured page. |
| | ## CON: Slight expansion of the childhood section would strengthen this page. |
| | ## CON: "Something about Rian having a hard time as teenager on a mandalorian military academy while being a half-breed." in the Teen Years section needs to be expanded/completed. |
| | ## CON: Rule of Tyranny needs expanded |
| | ## CON: tone and greater interlinking need addressed |
| | ## if the above are addressed or otherwise remedied the page can be considered for Feature. |
| | ## It's got good bones but it's pretty dated. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Eilen Ru'tyari]]''' is at the very least worth examining. While brief, it offers a very comprehensive history on the character and offers a detailed arc and development to follow. The only concern I might have is that there are relatively few images present on the page. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 23:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## Agreed, including on the lack of images. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Vatali Central Military]]''' The page is missing an image fitted into the infobox, but it is otherwise comprehensive and well detailed, especially for a background element of a culture. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 17:21, 20 February 2022 (UTC) |
| | ## I concur. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Iwu Koraha Mahue]]''' is well though out, highly detailed, and offers a wealth of images. It's a good example of how to flesh out a great deal and add it to a world while keeping it concise. [[User:Essik Lyccane|Essik Lyccane]] ([[User talk:Essik Lyccane|talk]]) 21:47, 17 May 2023 (UTC) |
| | ## CON: Very dated, as the subject matter hasn't been relevant since early 2016. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 14:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC) |
| | # '''[[Orian Frequency]]''' is very cool but needs images and a little love. [[User:Alethia Archenksova|Alethia Archenksova]] ([[User talk:Alethia Archenksova|talk]]) 16:12, 19 March 2024 (UTC) |
