  • Per Manual of Style we avoid using the pronoun "they" for individuals of unspecified gender.
    • Can you please be specific, the only use of the pronoun "them" is clearly referring to the human that was double crossed. The human is a male by appearance so I can change it to "him" if needed. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I was talking about that, you can either change it to "him" if you're sure that he is male, or reword the snetnce to remove the pronoun. (Signed a few minutes late) LucaRoR CIS roundel (Talk) 15:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

  • In the BTS first sentence, you should probably specify "in the new Canon" or "in the Star Wars Canon." Also, can the fact that he was voiced by Denny Delk be refernced to the game itself? LucaRoR CIS roundel (Talk) 13:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Given that the canon continuity is default and this IS a star wars site, I don't believe either is correct and it simply serves to distinguish from Legends material. Denny is in the game credits. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 15:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

  • You should link him and don't link it in BTS to avoid a double-link.
    • Oop good catch Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Has 8t88 masculine programming? If yes, it should be reflected in the body, if no, you should use the pronoun "it" in the BTS when referring to 8t88 (obviously only when discussing Canon). LucaRoR CIS roundel (Talk) 06:22, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Thought I fixed this when I got the answer on Discord :) Canon 8t88 = gender unspecified. Legends 8t88 = male. Should be ok now :) Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:34, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

  • On the 8t88 card it says 8t88 is a mercenary, so add the category Mercenaries and say that 8t88 was a mercenary in the body. ~ D MCCG D MCCG (chat) 18:29, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Oh, good catch. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

  • Please italicise the Jedi Knight game.
    • Done, missed it with the ref right there too. How embarrassing! Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
  • "where he was a main villain voiced by Denny Delk." I'm nitpicking over the wording here-it almost makes it sound like he was one of several villains all voiced by Denny Delk. Would you mind rewording this? Fan26 (Talk) 00:33, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
    • I think that's better, let me know :) Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

    • Thanks!
  • Nar Shaddaa being a moon should ideally be sourced to something new and more common-place, so I would replace the BMF issue with The Star Wars Book. OOM 224 08:49, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
