- ~~Very short article; characteristics and history could be merged into the intro.~~
  - Again, this is not against the CA rules. He can subsection the article if he wants to. NaruHina ^Talk 21:06, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
    - I haven't said it's against the rules; the appearance of the article is just better when half of it isn't headings. 1358 ^(Talk) 17:35, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~You don't need to bold the subject outside the intro.~~
  - Done. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 16:29, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~Intro-exclusive info.~~
  - What do you mean? Please explain. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 16:29, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
    - "an elite Imperial Remnant battle group during the Imperial Civil War." This information can not be found outside the intro. This could be fixed by just merging the sections. 1358 ^(Talk) 17:35, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
      - Tell me if what I've got works. If not I'll rework it to merge it. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:38, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~Please do not use parenthesis in the prose.~~ 1358 ^(Talk) 14:55, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
  - Done.

- ~~In the "Characteristics" section, only the info about the generic century tank can be sourced to the Databank, so it needs to be referenced accordingly.~~ Imperators II^(Talk) 09:25, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
  - Done. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 16:09, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
    - ~~"The 71st Elite Mechanized Assault Group was outfitted with dark gray century tanks" still can't be sourced to the Databank.~~ Imperators II^(Talk) 16:22, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
      - Please check again. You will find that the only statement sourced to the Databank is where century tanks are "Unofficially called TIE crawlers." This is appropriate and, as mentioned in the 98th CANom, is appropriate to identify the connection between the name "TIE crawler" and "century tank." Gethralkin^Hyperwave 17:34, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
        Fixed per 98th comments. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 16:40, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~Intro shouldn't be referenced (per the sourcing policy).~~ Imperators II^(Talk) 07:45, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
  - Oops, how did that get there? Fixed. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 15:23, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~Why is battle group capitalized in the "History" section?~~ Imperators II^(Talk) 17:19, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
  - Don't know. Fixed. In both this and in the following CANom. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 17:58, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
Cav:
- ~~No era tags?~~
  - {{Eras}} tag restored. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 07:08, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
    - But there is no era specified. If you are claiming that the TIE crawlers were active during the period of in-fighting between the Imperial warlords, then it deserves at least a New Republic era tag, which would then be added to the infobox as well. The NR era stretches from 5 ABY-25 ABY, during which the Warlords rose, fought, fell, and were eventually consolidated into the Imperial Remnant. The tag should be applied. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 10:22, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
      - Fixed. I couldn't previously figure a way to justify it against Jinzler's objection below. Thanks. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 14:33, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Affiliation is listed as the Imperial Remnant - my understanding was that the Remnant was not officially referred to as such until much later in the chronology. What is the reasoning for using this rather than "Galactic Empire"? - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 09:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
  - Santhe/Sienar Technologies sold the TIE Crawlers to the squabbling warlords trying to conquer Coruscant following the Empire's defeat. That can hardly be said to be the Galactic Empire. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 07:08, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
    - Sorry to butt in, but that wouldn't be the Remnant either --- the Remnant only began to exist after the warlords stopped squabbling and were unified. "Various Imperial Warlords" might be your best bet for the affiliation field. Menkooroo 15:30, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
      - Excellent point. The Imperial Remnant did, however, continue to use them after they were organized, so I will add your suggestion to the affiliation field for this one and the one in the CANom below. Thanks. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 21:56, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

- ~~Any chance you can get a better picture for it. Its not too big of a deal, but a clearer and more detailed picture would be nice.~~Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 20:14, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
  - There is none better than what is uploaded. Keep in mind that PocketModel images are of miniatures about half an inch or so (for the TIE Crawlers) to about four inches (a Star Destroyer) in length. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 02:29, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
