- ~~If you're going to source the article, every bullet in the infobox must be sourced. However, since it only has one appearance, I would argue that sourcing is unnecessary, but the decision is yours.~~
  - Done for all. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 13:42, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~The article needs a Behind the scenes section.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 22:22, May 15, 2011 (UTC)~~
  - ~~The BTS requirement also applies to your other current CANs.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 22:25, May 15, 2011 (UTC)~~
    - Done for all. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 13:42, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
- I think Trade Federation ought to be listed in the affiliation field in the infobox in addition to the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Confederate Navy; I'd say probably with one bullet under CIS. Again, this applies to all these articles, unless there's a specific reason you didn't include it. Otherwise, nice work.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 19:14, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
  - That would probably work pre-CIS, but the TF and the Techno Union Droid Army and the IGBC all merged their droid militaries into the Separatist Droid Army, and it is difficult to determine which Flights are being represented from TPM to RotS by noting their markings—unless someone has the time to spend going frame-by-frame to do so. Much like the Retail Caucus-affiliated droid army that Whorm Loathsom commanded, droids are no longer really affiliated with the TF after they are shipped unless they are specifically a TF detachment. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 23:44, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
- One more, applying to all these related articles; intro-exclusive information, such as the fighers' affiliation within the Trade Federation, needs to be added somewhere in the main body.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 19:21, May 17, 2011 (UTC)
  - TF references removed. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 07:59, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
    - Forgive me, as I'm a bit confused. Is it confirmed canon that they were part of the Trade Federation at any point?—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 01:00, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
      - I would have to study the markings of the Flights present on and above Naboo in TPM. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:54, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
        I don't think that's necessary. As long as it's not mentioned in the TCG, it's fine.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 09:58, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
        Nope, they are not identified as TF specifically. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 07:41, May 21, 2011 (UTC)
        In that case, I would say the article is ready for CA. Nice work, Gethralkin.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 00:18, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
        Forgive me, I was a bit hasty. The fact that they were in the service of the CIS during the Clone Wars needs to be mentioned somewhere outside the intro, perhaps in a History section.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 00:21, May 22, 2011 (UTC)
        Good work. Please address the same intro-exclusive problems to the other articles, and I will support them as well.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 02:28, May 23, 2011 (UTC)
        Done. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 02:35, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

- ~~Gray is a link to a disambiguation page, which doesn't seem like a good thing to me. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.~~
  - As I've been told, there are two options for colors: you can link to color once, or you can link to each color specifically, even though they all link to disambig pages. I like to just link color, but either way is acceptable.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 23:42, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
    - Per Axinal. The disambig page begins with addressing the word as being a color and not just a redirect elsewhere. I am following the standard 88th Mechanized Assault Group laid out by others. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:46, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks to Axinal for explaining this to me. All right, it looks find then.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 12:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
- ~~You should link targeting systems to targeting computer.~~
- ~~When you say "light- and dark-gray" is doesn't look especially good. I suggest you remove the hyphens.~~
  - That is called a "hanging hyphen" or "suspended hyphen," and it is proper punctuation usage in standard American English, the language mandated by the Wookieepedia Manual of Style. Hyphens and dashes are allowed when needed to keep words adhering to American English standards—as long as they are used appropriately and following the guidelines of the MoS. I have spelled both "light-gray" and "dark-gray" correctly according to proper American English standards. Although it is not entirely improper to refuse to use the hanging hyphen, it is commonly considered to be more correct to do so. However, because of your unfamiliarity of the punctuation usage, I have removed the hanging hyphen so that you can let me know if you prefer to have it used or not. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:46, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
    - Hey, if it is proper punctuation usage, then by all means go ahead and change it back to the way it was before. I just thought that maybe you mistyped it.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 12:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
      - Fixed. Either way can be considered correct. Hanging hyphens help it from sounding redundant, though, making for a better article imo. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 19:17, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll support after you fix these minor problems.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 16:30, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

Not really an objection, but is there no available image? Other articles from the same sources have them, so why not this? Are they unavailable for some reason? - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 11:10, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
- In fact, consider this a blanket query to include the other three noms on flight groups below. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 11:12, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
  - No good resolution photos have been taken yet of these. We uploaded highres images on our site, but the gallery only needed thumbnails for WizKids' purposes. The other sources that you mention are either higher resolution previews of miniatures by game sites, or that were taken by me for the purpose of uploading here. I am extremely busy, so a photo shoot is not something I can always spend time on. If you know of any images available then, by all means, upload and include them. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 18:16, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
    - Sorry, but nope. I'm not really up on this game, hence my reason for asking but not for objecting. Hopefully, decent shots will become available. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 10:27, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
      - I am on the lookout for any, and if I get the chance, I will take them myself and upload them. Just too busy to do photography right now. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 13:18, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
