  • "Darklighter had his Rogues use their new combat programming," Which was?
    • There.
  • Link for the Battle of Ithor?
    • Added. Must have missed linking it.
  • I'd also like a little more context on the battles at Dantooine and Ithor—mostly relating to the outcomes of the battles.
    • Better?
  • No quote for Characteristics?
    • There's other quotes available, but they're all "Catch, do this." and not really suitable for the Characteristics section.
  • No Equipment section? IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 03:22, December 30, 2014 (UTC)
    • There's nothing to put in the section. He never gets out of the fighter socket, so you don't see him with any tools or so forth, and he doesn't have any personnel weapons or ships. Thanks for looking it over, 501st dogma(talk) 15:47, December 30, 2014 (UTC)
Cav
  • at a time where the New Republic–affiliated Rogue Squadron was engaged in assaulting the forces of Imperial leader Ysanne Isard during the Bacta War; calling them NR affiliated is a little wrong here; they were essentially a rogue unit receiving unofficial support at best.
    • That better?
  • Some explanation of how the tankers were redirected is needed.
    • There.
  • Riv Shiel should be mentioned by name instead of a pipelink.
    • There
  • Although momentarily shielded from the capital ship's barrage of fire by the bulk of the Alazhi as was it was destroyed, - wording adjustment needed for the end (as was it was), and you do not state who destroyed the ship.
    • As was it was sounds perfectly normal. :P Remedied
  • What it Riv Shiel's fate?
    • That work?
  • Is the new combat programming the low-powered "stutter fire" effect? If so, the article makes no mention of it.
    • That should do it. I believe that new combat programming is just general guidelines on how to overwhelm skips' shields.
  • Big one: is Catch his official name, and not just a nickname and shortening for Toughcatch? Because if this is the case, the article should be at Toughcatch. - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 18:04, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
    • Catch is the official name. He's only ever called by that (save for his Jawaswagging time), with a brief mention that his name was once Toughcatch before Gavin shortened it. Thanks for looking it over. 501st dogma(talk) 22:29, January 10, 2015 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • I disagree with using the Nickname header template and presenting his name in quotations in the infobox name field. Do any of the sources do this? As far as I can see, he never had an official designation in canon, so he was only ever known as Catch, etc. His name is his name here. It's not "unofficial."
    • Yep, makes sense. Changed.
  • Dogma, we're going to go through this same objection on every one of your nominations until you get this right. Catch is not mentioned in New Essential Guide to Droids, so that source alone cannot be used to cite his manufacturer. You need either double ref notes or a manual ref note for each use of that citation.
  • Same objection for New Essential Guide to Characters. I'd like to see these objections resolved before I continue. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:30, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
    • Both done. 501st dogma(talk) 19:55, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
  • I've reworked the beginning of the section subsection to give a brief description of the Bacta War's outcome. Please provide a proper reference for that statement if it can't be sourced to the CSWE entry.
    • Um, do you mean Dark Tide instead of CSWE? I believe I found the section and reffed it properly, but it didn't have a CSWE ref near it.
  • The second subsection should probably have two subsections of its own.
    • Pow.
  • The article should explain why it was significant to Darklighter for Catch to give weather updates on Coruscant and Tatooine—those were his homeworlds. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:55, April 13, 2015 (UTC)
    • That should do it. Uncertain about using Krytos Trap to ref Darklighter's liking of Coruscant, but that is one of the first source's I believe that he's based out of there. Thanks for the review. 501st dogma(talk) 00:55, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
      • What you added is good, but your uncertainty in the source is less than reassuring. You need to be certain the reference you're using is accurate. Take some time and check it. You should add a similar explanation to the Characteristics section. And the plural form of the word is sources. Not source's. You speak English, right? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk)
        • Upon looking it over, Krytos Trap should work fine. Wedge's Gamble has Darklighter on Coruscant in preparation for the attack, but he isn't based out of Coruscant truly until Krytos. 501st dogma(talk) 22:58, April 15, 2015 (UTC)
