  • "The unit's numerical designation was aquirred and used to gain defected Imperial Governor Everi Chalis passage through the Imperial blockade over Hoth." This sentence can be revised better. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 17:22, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
    • Fixed, and added the captive shuttle detail. TK-462 (talk) 17:32, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
  • Does the novel use "2287" or "two-two-eight-seven"? This is inconsistent in the article right now.
    • It uses two-two-eight-seven, and I thought I could use it interchangably. I've made it the same accross the article now. TK-462 (talk) 17:42, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
  • Hoth needs context. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 17:36, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
    • Fixed. TK-462 (talk) 17:42, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
      • Looking at it again, providing context for Hoth on the planet's second mention reads a bit weird. This can be done on the mention of the battle by rewording that sentence. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 17:55, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
        • Agreed. I just switched the two mentions. TK-462 (talk) 18:01, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
  • I think the date note can be further refined. You can say something like the novel depicts the Hoth battle and the unit's involvement in it, which Atlas dates to 3 ABY. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 16:08, May 13, 2020 (UTC)
    • Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you about this. I've been pretty spotty on my access lately due to real life stuff, so thanks for the heads up. TK-462 (talk) 17:37, May 19, 2020 (UTC)

  • If the unit's formation wasn't mentioned, especially considering the obscurity of it's mention, I don't think it's necessary to have it in the infobox. Braha'tok enthusiast (Hello there) 18:44, May 9, 2020 (UTC)

  • The article is listed in Category:Cold assault stormtrooper units, but the there is no mention that it was a unit of cold assault stormtroopers in the prose itself. I'd like to see that specified, since I initially assumed that the termed "unit" referred to an armored unit. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 07:02, May 18, 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks for catching that. After a little more thourough look at the excerpt from the novel during previous objections, we found that there wasn't any mention of cold assault stormtroopers pertaining to the unit, but I forgot the category. I've added new categories that are more pertinent now. TK-462 (talk) 14:59, May 18, 2020 (UTC)

  • Is the first comma in the quote your error or the source's? And does the source really not use a space after the ellipsis? Imperators II(Talk) 10:21, May 23, 2020 (UTC)
    • In the source, Chalis has had her throat collapsed by Darth Vader, so she's struggling to speak. It makes a lot more sense in context, but that is in fact how it's written. Actually, the '...' is incorrect, it's supposed to be an '—' according to the novel. TK-462 (talk) 20:57, May 26, 2020 (UTC)

Comments

  • Just two minor reviewing notes for your future nominations:
    • Although the StarWars.com Encyclopedia is a reliable canon source, you should use it as a last resort since the content is now obsolete and is only accessible via archival links. As there are many other sources that state Hoth is an Outer Rim planet, I replaced it with another one—Ultimate Star Wars.
    • If a canon article subject has nothing to do with the Legends continuity, there is no need to specify that it was mentioned in a "canon" source in BTS. Same goes for the other way around. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 18:32, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
      • Good to know, thank you! TK-462 (talk) 18:36, May 8, 2020 (UTC)
