Object

Imperators II

• You source "fifth degree NR-5 series repair droid" to Arms & Equipment Guide, but the book is not in the Sources list. Also, could you please expand the fifth-degree reference into a note explaining how you arrive at that classification?
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:02, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
• I'm slightly perplexed: ref 3 indicates that The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia mentions Kalibac Industries was the manufacturer of the NR-5 (I'm guessing it's stated in ref 5). Why then do you need to introduce another citation and source Kalibac to the Age of Rebellion adventure? Imperators II^(Talk) 10:31, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
  • I assumed that I should source that information to the newest possible source available, Perlemian Haul. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:02, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
    • I honestly don't see the need to source it to the newest source if the information in question hasn't changed from an older source, especially if a ref already present in the article can be used instead. It's just confusing to the reader IMHO. Imperators II^(Talk) 20:18, August 23, 2017 (UTC)
      • Technically, only the TCSWE's NR-5 entry states the info cited in the first part of the dating ref. As such, I've referenced Kalibac being its manufacturer to Cynabar in the article's body. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 00:00, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

Ayrehead

• Just for consistency could you use either repair droid or maintenance droid in both the body and infobox. Ayrehead02 (talk) 17:00, August 25, 2017 (UTC)
  • Used the former, since its part of the NR-5's full name. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 17:50, August 25, 2017 (UTC)

Exiled Jedi

• I do not believe that Cynabar's Fantastic Technology directly states that the droids were marketed in 2 BBY. From what I can see it uses Great ReSynchronization dates, which will require additional sourcing to translate into 2 BBY.
  • What source would you recommend I look at to source this? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 03:38, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
    • There is a complicated citation that is used in the year infobox. You will need to use that as well as the date from the sourcebook.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 01:57, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
      • The page for that template says "The year-conversion, galacticera, and eras field have all been deprecated. Their contents are automatically generated, and should not be manually added, as the code for those fields has been removed." I can't find said citation. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 02:06, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
        • Here it is: {{YearMathGRS}} Imperators II^(Talk) 08:40, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
          • Might I ask how you use it? It looks rather complicated. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 23:06, September 19, 2017 (UTC)
            • Basically, you need to use the entire citation except for "This article's date is therefore derived from simple math based on this reference explanation." That part you need to replace with a sentence saying that based on the provided information, the GrS date from the source occurred in the year X BBY / ABY.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 04:40, September 24, 2017 (UTC)
              • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 22:17, September 26, 2017 (UTC)
                • Please note you should add a source for the statement "The Great ReSynchronization was instituted in 35 BBY." Imperators II^(Talk) 22:40, September 26, 2017 (UTC)
                  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:22, September 27, 2017 (UTC)
                    • The HNN article doesn't say the GrS happened in "35 BBY", though, just "13 years" before "13:2:28". If you want to use this source, you have to provide the source for HNN being set in 22 BBY. Imperators II^(Talk) 21:27, September 27, 2017 (UTC)
                      • How does it look? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:08, October 2, 2017 (UTC)
                        • You still have yet to provide a source for "13 years" before "13:2:28" being equal to "35 BBY." Imperators II^(Talk) 18:16, October 2, 2017 (UTC)
                          • How about now? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:24, October 2, 2017 (UTC)
• Out of curiosity, where does it identify Kraemr as a smuggler? I flipped through the book and didn't see this mentioned anywhere that I could find.
  • I haven't either (just peaked at their article), so I've removed it. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 03:38, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
• "It worked for about ten hours before completely frying all of its circuits." Most of this sentence is pretty much verbatim from the source. Could you reword this a little more?
  • Done. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 03:38, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
• A lot of these issues are present in the Tredwall article, which already attained CA status. Please correct the issues on that article as well once they are satisfactorily corrected here.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 17:30, September 10, 2017 (UTC)
