Approve

 * 1) Intros been expanded, very nice article.
 * 2) Up to FA standards. -- Victor  ( talk ) 00:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 20:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Among the shorter nominations, but concise can be good, and it qualifies by the standards. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Expand introduction.  Victor  ( talk ) 10:10, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Per Vic. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 11:06, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Suggestions as to how the intro could be expanded would be helpful, as it seems good enough for me. I've seen much shorter pass by DL review in the past. - Brandon Rhea 22:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, which I look to rectify those mistakes about voting in short reviews for the future. Anyways, what I go by is word count and content. I use word count from microsoft word and to me, an article's introduction must have at least 225 words. The ones I told to expand the intro all had less than 200, even less than 180 I think. But that's not the point; some tips on how to expand: As I can see, the first paragraph talks about what the order was, and the second gives a brief overview of what Ussej did to guide the future. You should expand the second paragraph, by talking about it's history, its members and their overall impact on the galaxy.  Victor  ( talk ) 22:53, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Though I do not believe that word count really means much and that it does explain the impact of the galaxy, I will comply nonetheless. - Brandon Rhea 00:45, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Wordcount is my own personal system that I use to measure intros. Basically, if its not over 200 words, to me, its insufficient (though I prefer 225). -- Victor  ( talk ) 00:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It is now 277 words and contains a bit of information about what happens to the Jedi Bendu after E.T. leaves Earth. - Brandon Rhea 00:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Expand introduction. Lacks details, because each section is only a few sentences long; should be and can be greatly expanded. Personality/traits section could be greatly expanded and a talents section should be added.  Victor  ( talk ) 09:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ditto Vic. 20:26, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Per above. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This was harder to read. I think it's because the article is laid out like a list of exploits that have not quite the detail that I enjoy in other Featured Articles. If the (size 4?) headings were expanded to more substantial paragraphs, and the plotline made more intriguing, this would certainly be on par with the first article to have that picture in its infobox. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication

 * 2) It's got my vote. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 02:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) A lot of work obviously went into this. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 20:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove/complaints

 * Needs era icon and introduction needs expansion. -- Victor  ( talk ) 21:49, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll get right on the intro, but how do you era a language? It's kinda like era-ing a planet, or a race.- Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well a language doesn't last forever. For example, Alderaan would've been around from the Pre Republic era up to the Rise of the Empire era, because that's when it was destroyed. The language concept is the same thing; the language could potentially die out if the planet were to be (for example) blown away. So whenever the language came about until it's end, or just all the eras if it hasn't/didn't die out as far as our knowledge goes. -- Victor  ( talk ) 01:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Your Alderaan point convinced me. As I know it goes on since before 50,000 BBY and I haven't come up with an end for it yet, I'll just take your suggestion and do them all. And, for the intro, I've lengthened it to 287 words. Is this satisfactory? - Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:23, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Very satisfactory indeed. -- Victor  ( talk ) 01:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  02:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * After the intro's fixed, it'll be FA material. [[Image:NKsig.png|70px]] Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles [[Image:sabersmilygreend.jpg]] 22:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
