Attack on Korriban

  • Nominated by: Jace Onasi (talk) 09:24, May 20, 2017 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: A former good article nomination that just went over the one thousand word limit. There's a good chance it may go back under one thousand words by the time you're done with it. I'm hopeful that won't happen.

Let's do this
  • The date of the battle is infobox-exclusive, which means it should be added to the article's body.
  • The fact that the date was the fifth year of the war is intro-exclusive, which also means it should be added to the article's body.
  • You should establish earlier on in the article's body that Arcann and Thexan were princes, since that's what the infobox says.
  • Did the Eternal Empire use warships (infobox) or battleships (body)?
  • The number of the... large ships is infobox-exclusive.
  • The mentions of shuttles, droids and the specific Sith spaceships are all infobox-exclusive.
    • A mention of the droids in the body is not only appropriate, but also mandated by our Layout Guide. Imperators II(Talk) 11:24, July 3, 2017 (UTC)
    • You can't source the specific names of those Sith spaceships to the trailer, though. Imperators II(Talk) 11:24, July 3, 2017 (UTC)
  • intro: "Korriban was of particular significance..." - significance to whom?
  • The fact that Korriban was of significance and that it had "a large presence of Sith" are both intro-exclusive.
  • The Korriban image caption is pretty boring, could you please add a more interesting caption?
  • "Korriban was the homeworld of the Sith species as well as the subsequent Sith Order, though the Great Hyperspace War against the Republic saw the ruin of the Sith Empire.[9]" - Sith Order is not mentioned in the source provided.
  • In the sentence above, please provide some context for the Republic. I'd be fine with just "Galactic Republic", which should be properly sourced, of course.
  • Again regarding the above sentence, the original Sith Empire is not identified in the source.
  • Context for Eternal Fleet needed.
  • In the infobox, you use capitalized "Sith Overseers", while in the body you just use "overseers" - this should be consistent.
  • "one of the most prominent academies" - that's not in the source.
  • "As a result of the raids, many Acolytes fled and settled down to live their lives without interference from the Sith or the Eternal Empire" - as a result of the raids or as a result of the attack on Korriban? (the article doesn't mention anything about acolytes being attacked elsewhere)
  • You should give a full release date for Sacrifice, especially since you mention Brothers was published a month later.
  • Please add where Brothers was published.
  • The BTS section should be rearranged so that the first thing mentioned is in what medium the attack was first portrayed, and then you can explain the story-wise significance of the event. Imperators II(Talk) 13:34, May 20, 2017 (UTC)
  • Looking at the Darth Malgus article got me wondering whether better quality images from Sacrifice can be uploaded for the article. If you can't do it yourself, you should try asking the users who uploaded images for that article for assistance. Imperators II(Talk) 18:19, May 22, 2017 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure though if it's appropriate that the droids are added to the article body. They are only briefly mentioned in Brothers and it isn't stated what kind of droid they are, so it would likely detract from the article. I'll see if I can get some higher quality images. Besides that, I believe that I've satisfied all your objections.--Jace Onasi (talk) 11:02, July 2, 2017 (UTC)
  • Sacrifice didn't establish the Knights of Zakuul to be Force-sensitive. Imperators II(Talk) 11:24, July 3, 2017 (UTC)
