Object

  1. Objecting
    • Please give the article a heavy copy-edit and fix the grammar. There's some missing punctuation, too.
    • Source the main quote.
    • Through pipelinking, make sure you don't link to redirects --- eg, shield rather than shield.
    • Speculation should be avoided --- ie, "it is possible" in the bts. Menkooroo 01:23, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
      • Done. Thanks to TopAce for the grammar help. Darth Morrt 11:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
    • A couple more: Give context on Darth Vader and the 501st.
    • The "History" section should be reworded so that the Tantive IV is mentioned earlier. Right now, the article references "the shift shields". ... Which ones? Menkooroo 05:12, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

    • You make it sound in the itnro as if Vader actually believed that's what destroyed the ship. Please make it more clear that that was the story that he wanted the Senate to believe.
    • In the Hisory, please give a little context on the Tantive IV and its destruction.

    • The last sentence of the BTS—"The function of these shields was similar to particle shields or concussion shields, which were mentioned in later sources."—needs to be sourced, as it is not self-sourcing. If you give the source for even just two sources that say that about particle shields, that should cover it. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 15:26, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
      • Refs added: two guides and the cross-sections. Darth Morrt 14:14, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Can Daine Jir being a commander in the 501st be sourced to the novelization? I doubt that. -- 1358 (Talk) 15:15, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
    • Sources added to the contexts. Darth Morrt 09:57, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
