Bith are either musicians or engineers, the latter of which are sometimes Dark Lords of the Sith. Imperators II(Talk) 10:12, February 5, 2016 (UTC)- <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 03:12, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Question: Does "Friends and Enemies" actually say that Orondia is in Hutt Space? I ask because the Orondia article doesn't include this information, and our Legends article cites that information to the Atlas, so it looks questionable on the surface.- Yikes. No it doesn't. (Nothing in subtitles or audio description either, not sure where I got that.)
- Reviewing notes:
- I know you've probably seen this in many articles and probably been told that you need to do this, but it's not strictly necessary to give context for the Clone Wars in every instance. If doing so helps to set the stage for events that you're writing about, fine, but in cases like this, in which the specific details of the Clone Wars itself are extraneous to this lounge, you can forgo the context. The Clone Wars is a familiar enough concept for our readers. There's useful context, and then there's context for the sake of context, which becomes, to use one of my new favorite phrases, a stylistic nuisance.
- Noted.
- For future reference, it's better to list the Episode Guide itself in the Sources list rather than the specific Trivia Gallery, just because the trivia section is a single part of the overall guide. That would be like listing a book chapter instead of the book. Linking to the Trivia Gallery in referencing is still a good practice, however.
- That makes sense.
- Regarding the Sources list including the Season Four home video release, it's been our practice to only list that if the article subject is mentioned/appears in any of the bonus content, such as concept art, outside of the regular episodes themselves. Is this the case for this subject?
- Looking through disc 3, I didn't notice anything. Source is now removed.

You should avoid citing things to IMDb whenever possible. They're basically no different from us, in that it's basically an open-source editing environment. That is to say, their information, while usually accurate, is not independently reliable. For TCW episode air dates, the now-archived pre-2012 episode guides list them, while Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode Guide lists all of them. You should use that book to cite this episode's air date.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:42, February 15, 2016 (UTC)
