[edit] Excellent article

Goddamn, this is a finely written article. This should be used a benchmark for all the other Star Wars articles. :) --Kross 17:58, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

This is really good and informative. --Anon.

Thanks, I spent way too long on it... I need to get out more :) --Nufy8 18:04, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm quite tempted to nominate this for featured article. :D --Kross 18:24, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)

That would be interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a Star Wars article, let alone EU, as the featured article. --Nufy8 18:26, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

You would want to add some more context, I'm afraid. But I concur, a remarkable article. I now have a new benchmark to aim for with my Grand Admirals, Lumiya and other such articles. --Maru

According to the dates, Ulic was 14 when he died. That can't be right! 142.161.204.157 05:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, it does say "circa," since we know it was around 4,000 BBY; it might make more sense to put it at something like 4,036, since he looks around 50 in that picture of him on Rhen Var, but I'm not really sure if that's accurate, and we might want to avoid conjecture (unless we get some idea about how old he was when he died).

Good article, but awful-looking pictures. --Chris Griswold 02:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] In-universe

Anyone seriously interested in improving the article should consider adding some real world related info, e.g. regarding the concept, creation, and/or function of the character within the Star Wars narrative etc. Please consult our writing about fiction guideline, which also includes a list of exemplary articles.

There are currently three featured articles on Star Wars characters: Palpatine, Padmé Amidala, and Jabba the Hutt. What sets them aside from most of the other SW character articles is the effort to write from the real world perspective. Pay particular attention to paragraphs like Jabba the Hutt#Concept and creation, Palpatine#Concept and creation, and Padmé Amidala#Characterization.

Also take a look at Darth Vader, which despite its lack of reliable, published third-party secondary sources features interesting sections on e.g. #Character creation and concepts and Darth Vader as a #Cultural figure.

Even though reliable sources may be tough to come up with, any effort to introduce coherently written real world aspects will be greatly appreciated, because it contributes to the depth of the article and accurate coverage of the topic, and thereby makes for an improved reading experience and increases the encyclopedic value of the article.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ulic qel droma.JPG

Image:Ulic qel droma.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
