Object

  1. Lee attacks...a planet ?!
    • I miss some info from Boba Fett: Maze of Deception. Clone Commander Lee Talk 17:53, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • What specifically do you miss? I'm not going to include the sentence "In 22 BBY, Boba Fett visited the station, ran around some, collected his father's heritage, then left." --Imperialles 17:59, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
        • Not in that way, but a mention of Fett as well as the meeting between Gorga and San Hill should be in there. Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:10, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
          • The Gorga thing was already in there, but I clarified the sentence. What would you like me to add in regards to Boba? He did nothing notable while there (other than observing the aforementioned meeting, information with which he proceeded to ultimately do nothing about) and had no influence on the planet. But I'm open to suggestions, of course. --Imperialles 18:18, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
            • Well I would just include a sentence that Boba Fett came to Aargau and got some of his fathers money. Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
              • I heavily disagree with your views on what warrants a mention, but I added a small note stating that he visited the planet. --Imperialles 18:25, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
                • Well if you think it is not important then it is fine now. If one of the Inqs has a problem with that mention, blame it on me. Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:33, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Xicer takes a look
    • If "Aargauun" is the planet's demonym, it should be listed in the infobox.
    • "Aargau is named for the Swiss canton of Aargau near Switzerland's banking capital, Zürich." Source? You make this sound like a fact. If no source actually states that this planet was specifically named after the real-world Aargau, you should probably change the wording to make it sound less definite.
    • Otherwise, great. Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 18:00, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
  3. You're missing the IBC and Bank of Aargau be placed in the affiliation field. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:26, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
    • Linked to IBC. Linking to BoA might be a little superfluous, seeing as it was owned and operated by the IBC. --Imperialles 22:28, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • Well done other than that. I'll give it another, more thorough read soon, but it looks clean. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:40, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Farlstendoiro is impressed only by seeing this article being nominated
    • Early hist: Please some more conext on the Dawn Pyramid of Aargau?
      • Added all I could. My Atlas should be arriving in the mail in a couple of days. If I find there's more relevant stuff in there, I'll add it then. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
        • Once you get the Atlas, please scan it for references to Aargau.
          • Checked and updated. --Imperialles 17:09, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
    • If Vicendi included the Dawn Pyramid in his Twenty Wonders as of 10,000 BBY, then the galactic community was at least familiar with Aargau at that point. Could you give that date in the text?
      • Aargau was discovered earlier than that according to the Atlas. I made it a bit clearer by giving an approximate date. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Galactic Civil War: Link to the CSA Charter, not only to the CSA. Also, context on it.
      • Expanded a bit. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Dates for the Imperial Civil War, please. It is not an widely-known subject.
      • Fixed and sourced. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Later hist: Why did Aargau avoid the destruction wrought by the Yuuzhan Vong War? Was it too remote, too unconsequential, not offenssive enough to Vong eyes...?
      • That information is gleaned from maps in the Atlas. Aargau is outside the Yuuzhan Vong blob. I am not sure the Atlas explains why. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Inhabitants: "Little is known about the original native people of Aargau" You mean that in-universe, galactic citizens were unaware of that information, right?
      • You're right, that was not ideally worded. Changed. --Imperialles 08:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • BTS: Authors for the first appearance, please?
    • Very good work. Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:25, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
  5. IFYLOFD is here:
    • Could you give a little context on what the Three Statutes are in the intro?
    • "not only was it in close proximity to the politically important world of Coruscant, it was also surrounded by trade routes." Such as...?
    • "It was illegal to export Aargau's rare metals without proper approval, for non-Aargauuns to carry weapons (on the other hand, it was illegal for Aargauun citizens to be unarmed)" Please reword sans parentheses. Statements in parentheses read as casual asides, and therefore are unencyclopedic.
    • " the lowest, millions of years-old lower levels" Very redundant. Please reword.
    • "were home to a seedier—though not necessarily criminal by Aargauun standards—element" What exactly is this supposed to mean? What is criminal by Aargauun standards? Clarify.
    • In the Clone Wars section: A little context on the Separatist Crisis, please.
    • Context on the Corporate Sector Authority, please.
    • Context on Darth Vader as well, please.
    • "Between 10 and 11 ABY, following the resurrection of Emperor Palpatine, a battle between Imperial and New Republic forces was fought on Aargau." Any info on the outcome?
    • That's all. Good work. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 22:31, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
      • I believe I have addressed your objections. --Imperialles 23:49, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

  • Not really an objection, but {{Mo}} templates aren't typically used for Sources lists. Do you have any particular reason for putting them there? Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 18:00, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
    • They were there when I started editing. I didn't put them there, and I don't believe there's a policy either encouraging or discouraging their use. --Imperialles 18:08, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • Ah, I wasn't sure. Just checking. Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 18:12, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • Implied, if not flat-out stated here. Basically, every "source" is considered a "mentioned only." Thefourdotelipsis 18:13, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
        • Taken care of. --Imperialles 18:19, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
