Great article, great game. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:57, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Toprawa
Please pipelink appropriate battle articles here and anywhere else that I may have missed, such as the Kessel Station one: "though a later Azzameen mission would recover it for the data stored within."; "following a failed Azzameen supply run for the Alliance to Restore the Republic"- Gonna need to work on this one. They aren't pipelinked because they don't have articles, which I believe was a result of questionable notability. I'm of the opinion that they'd be notable simply for having an entire level centered around them, but that wasn't the case for MK-09, Aeron Azzameen, or Ace Azzameen (or even Keyan Farlander or Maarek Stele), and I'm not one to argue the notability policy one way or the other. I have no objection to adding the required links (and thus creating the associated articles) but I hope you understand my reluctance.
- I made this objection with the assumption that these articles existed, so I'll wait to talk to you about this one. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:43, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
- Updating this objection: I've spoken to Jorrel about this and am now waiting for him to create and link to articles for the battles mentioned in this article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 05:13, August 2, 2015 (UTC)
- Before I get to work on creating the battle articles mentioned in Azzameen Station, I ran through the list of missions on the X-Wing Alliance page and created redlinks (or linked to an existing article in a few instances) for most missions in the game (excepting the tutorial missions). I plan on creating articles, starting with those relevant to Azzameen Station, but I'd like your input on the names, and notability, before doing so. Jorrel

- Honestly, Jorrel, it doesn't really matter to me what they're called. I figure names and notability will work themselves out over time. As long as things are pipelinked here, I'm satisfied. I trust your judgement. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:09, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you're taking the quote formatting from game captions or if you're just interpreting them yourself, because I have the following concerns:Grammatically, there should be a comma after "Let's go" in the "Azzameen Station once more" subsection. Does the game truly omit this comma in the captions or wherever you may be taking this quote from?- Oversight. It's been corrected.
The space placed after the ellipsis in the "Inhabitants" section; is that from a caption or your invention, because it probably doesn't need to be there.- Yeah, that was an oversight. Also corrected.
I don't believe the February 1999 release date in the BTS is self-sourcing. You will need a reference for that.- I think I've found a suitable source.
- If you're going to cite an external link, you need to either tuck it into one of our existing citation templates or use Cite web. In this case, we do have a Moby Games citation template, so it needs to be applied for this reference. I have done this for you this time, but remember this for the future. As an additional note here, the Moby Games reference cannot be used as a source for that entire sentence. You need to attach the Moby reference only to parts of that sentence that apply to this link. I have done this for you as well. Please be more careful of your referencing. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk)
- I think I've found a suitable source.
What is your reasoning for placing the LucasArts.com site link where it is currently in the Sources list? The Internet Archive link suggests the website was active no later than August 7, 2009, if I'm reading it correctly, in which case it should be placed before The Essential Atlas in the list.- That was based off of a false memory of the organization of source lists. Fixed.
- Reviewing note: Much like planets, the station itself is not listed in the Online Companion, only its system is, so it should not be listed in the Sources list. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:17, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
