~~Missing {{1stm}}~~
- Oops, thanks Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
~~Couldn't the first reference be simplified to something like: The New Essential Guide to Droids — Based on corresponding data for all R2-series astromech droids.~~
- There's some in consistency here when looking at existing status articles, of which there are four R2 units. Catch, from 2015, references the information to the book without any explanation. R2-R9 (2019) and R2-SHP (2021) both explain the information in a similar manner, but do it separately for each data point. I opted for putting the information in one reference, similar to R2-F1P (status in 2018). Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
  - Makes sense. LucaRoR ^(Talk) 10:54, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
~~Affiliation is unreferenced.~~ LucaRoR ^(Talk) 08:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Done Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:51, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

~~Not really sure the additional info on Wanted by Cracken itself is necessary, since that could just be documented on its own page.~~
- That was added to provide context on the following info specific to the R2—that it was noted only in Tiraan's equipment section. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
~~I'm assuming we can't be certain about any estimated measurements similarly to starships?~~
- Correct and, per precedent, I didn't include all the gadgets that are standard for R2 units. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
I very much hate putting these kinds of objections down because they're sofixits, but the Empire should be mentioned as "Galactic Empire" as it's the first mention of the subject, and you also don't need to mention Gen Tiraan's full name twice, "Tiraan had the droid..." would do nicely. Erebus Chronus ^(Talk) 04:55, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Ah ok thanks, updated! Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

~~I don't really see this droid as notable. Does it do anything other than get pictured alongside Tiraan?~~ JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 18:16, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
- It accompanied him on Corellia whilst the rebels and empire were interested in him and while he was developing the new sublight engine. Being noted in his equipment, it's possible (but not definitive) that the droid assisted him in some capacity, this detail was left to the GM/players to develop but he definitely had the droid with him at the time. As such the article itself doesn't go into any specific details. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 10:43, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
  - I'm not an expert on this RPG stuff, but can you add that info with the {{RPGseed}} template? JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 17:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
    - Good call thanks. I've added the info but found a redlink, will be fixing that shortly. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 08:31, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
    - For the record, the redlink is fixed and nommed :P Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
      - Goodness, that's still barely notable :P
        I'll take it! *Bangs gavel* Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:05, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
~~The article title should probably be "Gen Tiraan's R2-series astromech droid."~~ JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 02:56, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- Relocation complete Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:45, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

~~Since the degrees were removed from individual droid infoboxes in a recent Mofference, the implication is that they are unnecessary in article bodies too.~~ Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 05:18, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- Ah, I saw it in a similar reference but didn't realise it wasn't noted anywhere in another SA (can't remember which one). Removed. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:11, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Just wondering if the source specifies that "all" R2 droids are like that. Loqiical (talk) 22:53, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Going off memory as I dont have it with me right now. While it doesn't use the word "all", the language is all-inclusive. Along the line the IA made the r series of astromech and r2 series were a popular model in that line etc Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 00:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
