Braha'tok-class gunship

  • Nominated by: Kilson(Let's have a chat) 17:45, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: 4dot GAed this awhile back, and since I've done a few articles related to this one, I decided to do some updating and bring it up to FA status. However, at least half of this article is still 4dot's work, and he deserves as much credit as I do.

Prepare to be savaged…
  • I think "Characteristics" should describe the appearance of the ships a bit more. They have a unique shape, and something about the color of the plating might also be in order. Just source it to wherever that image is from.
    • I added a mention of the plating's color, but otherwise, I'm not sure how to describe the ship. Any suggestions?
      • I'd at least describe the general shape: long and narrow, with a hammer-like fore (which you already talk about), two projections toward the aft and two more very thin ones near the butt-end. It could arguably get even more detailed than that, but I'd be satisfied with some general notes about the ship's layout. ~SavageBOB sig 16:06, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure that "museum" is appropriate for the infobox. Just because one gunship was converted into a museum, does that mean that their role was as museums? I'd remove it as a one-off and not indicative of the class as a whole.
    • Removed
  • "The vessel was equipped with engines that were capable of making hyperspace jumps..." My SW tech savvy is admittedly pretty low, but do the engines make hyperspace jumps, or does the hyperdrive? Or is the hyperdrive an engine in its own right?
    • Clarified
  • "on the Empire's new second Death Star" -- I suggest a reword here, since it sounds like there was an old second Death Star. :)
    • Haha, haven't you heard of the Tarkin? :P Reworded
  • "several years prior..." Prior to what?
    • Corrected
  • "The gunships had been unseen outside the space surrounding Dornea before 4 ABY..." Do you mean the class itself or the two specific ships that fought at Endor?
    • Reworded
  • The phrase "Alliance Fleet" is repeated twice in rapid succession in the second paragraph of "History," but I wanted to let you figure out which one of them would be better to reword to avoid the repetition.
    • Changed
  • Probably worth adding a citation to the end of the last paragraph of BTS to the CSWE entry.
    • I believe that it's self sourcing by saying the Braha'tok-class has its own entry, and generally I don't like the additional reffing in the Bts.
      • It is self-sourcing, but you have references in the remainder of the paragraph, so if you don't add one to the end, it looks like an oversight, IMO. ~SavageBOB sig 13:39, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
  • Did you take a gander through the various adaptations and so on for ROTJ? These guys not pictured anywhere else? Over all, this is a really well-done piece, Kilson. Bravo! ~SavageBOB sig 16:09, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm afraid that I don't have the majority of the RotJ adaptions. I know it wasn't shown in the Infinities version, and I doubt that it would be shown anywhere else, but just to be safe, could anyone check the other adaptions for me? Also, thank you for the review Bob. :) Kilson(Let's have a chat) 10:00, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I highly doubt it's in any of the novel-type adaptations, considering it didn't even have a name until a few years ago. But at a minimum, you should probably try to track down the comic adaptation, the manga, the children's storybooks, the PhotoComic, the Illustrated Screenplay, Official Poster Monthly, and all the stuff listed under "Behind the scenes" on the adaptations page. I have a lot of this stuff, but I won't be able to check it for another two or three weeks. In the meantime, maybe you can track some folks down who own some of this stuff? ~SavageBOB sig 13:39, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
        • Sorry for taking so long to get back to this! I really did just completely forget about it. :( I've checked the struck sources listed above. Any luck with the BTS stuff, Kilson? ~SavageBOB sig 12:44, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
          • Unfortunately no. Any suggestions as to where I could get any of that info? Kilson(Let's have a chat) 22:45, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
            • Yikes, RL is a [Redacted by administration]. I'll check what I've got as soon as I get the chance. Hopefully tonight. ~SavageBOB sig 15:25, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
Dornea!
  • Good stuff. Just a couple of small ones: Can you mention and link Rebel Alliance in the intro? Currently, only Alliance Fleet is mentioned.
  • The second paragraph of "Characteristics" seems to have one too many "and"s in it. Can you reword? Menkooroo 13:37, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • They were sofixits anyway. Menkooroo 04:19, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Just a thought: Per WP:ATT 2.2, you could add a height of 19 meters and a width of 37 meters based on scaling this image from the stated length. I won't push the issue, though. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 04:18, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
