Object

GTQ

• change the sentence even able to tear out the core of the star to it was even able to tear out the core of stars though feel free to keep it that way if you'd like other than that good job. GTQ^(Problems?) 01:03, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • Buddy, we have a policy around here called {{Sofixit}}. If its something so exceedingly minor and grammatical as that, just do it yourself. IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 01:06, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Moffship

• Preliminary objection: There's a lot of large paragraphs; please break them up somehow.
  • Done. IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 02:05, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
• I'll do a full review when I have some more time. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 17:46, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

Just one

• Timeline 10: The Exar Kun War is an article on an out-of-universe subject, but it's linked to in the in-universe section of the article, which as far as I know is a no-no. As all of the Timeline videos exist IU as well, it might be worth it to create articles on their IU equivalents, similar to articles such as The New Essential Chronology (in-universe) and The Written Word: A Brief Introduction to the Writing Systems of Galactic Basic. All I've got; great job. Menkooroo 14:15, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
  • Fair enough. How would you recommend I go about this? Should I just create one central article about the series itself or do I have to create one for every single log? IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 01:07, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm no expert, but I think that one central article might be the best choice --- an IU equivalent of Galactic Timeline. Trayus might have some wiser words on the subject. Menkooroo 08:00, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
      • Created and linked. IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 02:55, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Prepare to be savaged…

• It's possible I overlooked it, but it appears that there is currently infobox-only info (length, engine units, hyperdrive rating, navigation system).
  • Addressed.
• There could be a bit of description in "Description" about the way the ship looked, such as the plating color, the general shape.
  • Addressed.
    • It's better, but you still don't say anything about what it looked like. You could go into great detail on this, but I'd be satisfied with some description of the ship's over-all shape. It seems to be a curved cone, with a flattened top and a collection of jagged spires at the fore. And there's a projection toward the aft with smaller spires coming from it. Something like that (or more detailed) would be fine. ~Savage 13:49, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
      • Done.
• Bit of POV with the "Unfortunately" in the "War and abandonment" section.
  • Addressed.
• Bit of repetition in the BTS with "The Corsair first appeared" used twice in rapid succession. Maybe change one of them? 'Tis all. Great work! ~Savage 16:02, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
  • Addressed. Thanks for the review. IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 01:53, July 31, 2011 (UTC)
