Object

All along the watchtower

1. What is the nature of his possible appearance in Secrets of Tatooine? Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 21:41, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
   • That was added to the article ages ago and turned out to be an extremely vague reference that I couldn't use even in the Bts. I just forgot to remove it.
2. Is it me or does the last sentence of the intro paragraph read abnormally? Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 21:41, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
   • Any better now?
3. The ref notes are for the first SWE, but the CSWE is in the sources. Is that supposed to be that way? Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 21:41, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
   • I was using the SWE for the Hutts being Hermaphrodites reference, I've added a bit in the reference to explain that.
4. Also, there should probably be a mention of his masculine personality in the intro. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 21:41, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
   • Done. Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 08:27, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
5. Other than that, fantastic work. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 21:41, June 25, 2013 (UTC)

El Jefe

• Do we need the double refs in the infobox?
  • Guess not.
• Don't think "hermaphrodite" should be capitalized.
  • Done.
• Intro: Why would he want to destroy the Mos Osnoe spaceport? Just a word or two of context would help.
  • Done.
• Intro: Context on the Hutt Cartel.
  • Moved to earlier in the intro with context.
• "Boorka proceeded to make it known that he knew about the Decimator and was willing to sell it to the highest bidder," Sell what? It seems here that he made the Decimator's existence known, so knowledge of its existence can't be what he's selling.
  • Fixed.
• Bio quote: "Sev'Rance Tann will go to Mos Osnoe and contact Boorka the Hutt, a crime boss who we believe posseses vital information regarding a new weapon being developed by the Republic." "Sev'Rance", is it like this in the source?
  • It is in GB, but it was retconned to be lower case later, so that's what it should be. Looks's like someone's gone and fixed it anyway
• "Boorka had some of his men hide along the path to ambush Tann's army, but they were defeated" Is there enough for an article on this skirmish?
  • It's part of the same batlle where the spaceport is destroyed, so I've moved the link to that spot.
• Again, this "knowledge of the Decimator" stuff. Seeing it a few times in the bio.
  • Corrected.
• Saw some real linking issues. You have to watch that. IFYLOFD ^{(Enter the Floydome)} 01:03, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
  • Sure thing. :) Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 11:13, July 6, 2013 (UTC)

Attack of the Clone

• Please find somewhere to split up the big intro paragraph.
  • Done.
• For the Bio quote, is "posseses" an error made in the game? If so, [sic] should be used for the quote. If it's just a typo, please fix.
  • Just a typo.
• Is it "Boorka's Palace" or "Boorka's palace"? Please select one for consistency throughout the article.
  • Fixed.
• When you say the "Republic army," I would suggest referencing the Grand Army of the Republic. Also, were there any clone troopers involved in any of the battles that the article mentions? CC7567 ^(talk) 04:09, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
  • Done both. Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 02:46, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Exiled Jedi

• If you're going to mention that he lacked hair in the infobox. you should mention it in the P&T as well.
  • Done
• The first sentence of the BTS makes it sound like he was voiced by Bajakian in the 2001 game.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 03:16, September 24, 2013 (UTC)
  • Any better? Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 03:19, September 28, 2013 (UTC)

Cadeth

• Please move the mention of the Separatist base and Boorka's continued dealings with them up; they should be introduced before they are mentioned by Jabba, as chronologically they existed beforehand.
  • Done.
• Also, please use {{CSWECite}}. Cade Calrayn 23:30, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
  • And dusted. Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 05:10, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

1. Just noticed that it still needs a "1st" somewhere. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 12:58, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
   • Lol. Commander Code-8 ^{You lost the game!} 21:53, June 28, 2013 (UTC)
2. If you're interested, I can try and dig the appropriate audio quotes for the article . --LelalMekha (talk) 16:21, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
