Object

  1. From the Moffship of Grand Moff Tranner:
    • "500 Republica was the most exclusive residential tower on Coruscant, a building in the Senate District of Galactic City that was home to some of the most wealthy and famous individuals in the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire." - reads like Coruscant is the building in the Senate District.
      • Broken like the first arc of Legacy.
    • I'd mention the Ambassadorial Sector in the intro.
      • Added.
    • "The building was attacked by Separatist General Grievous during the battle, as part of his strike to kidnap Palpatine." - the ending should be reword to state that Grievous did in fact kidnap Palpatine; right now, it's kind of vague.
      • Clarified.
    • "A mountainous structure over a thousand stories tall, 500 Republica was taller than any of its neighbors and one of Coruscant's tallest buildings, rising above the clouds in an organically stepped fashion, and topped with a ring of penthouses and a narrow spire at its apex." - one too many forms of "tall," methinks.
      • It sure is! (Reworded.)
    • "...though Isard, Pestage, and even the captain of Palpatine's agreed with the Jedi that he needed to leave." - captain of Palpatine's what?
      • Guards. Fixed.
    • "Dyne and Valiant were not from again..." - word missing.
      • Added.
    • A question on the formatting of appearances. You have the TPM novel, comic, etc., listed underneath the link to the movie. However, I've seen them on one line separated by "/"s and listed individually. Is there a specific format with regards to this? If not, I think there should be one.
      • That's actually a new thing I'm trying. After the discussion here, I decided to try a new system that balanced putting the {{1st}} template where it technically belongs, while making it less misleading and avoiding half a dozen "The Phantom Menace" entries. We really have no standard for this, but this is a compromise between the two you mention that I'm trying.
    • Well done. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 01:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
  2. From the desk of Atarumaster88
    • I started fixing these, but then stopped when I realized it had been done consistently. I'm fairly sure that senator by itself is not capitalized. The only time it should be capitalized, IIRC, is when used as a proper title (e.g. Senator Palpatine). If canon disagrees with this, leave it at Senator.
      • It is in HoloNet News, consistently, which is where I picked up the standard. I don't know what the general survey of the canon is, though. - Lord Hydronium 22:13, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
        • Though it's not good grammar, NEC and NEGTC use "Senator". Objection struck. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 05:45, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
    • Otherwise clean. Good job. Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 17:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
