  1. Maybe add a couple of images to break up the text a bit? Great stuff! Nivlacanator(talk) 00:21, November 4, 2015 (UTC)
  2. Inqvote Took out some of the play-by-play; we don't need to know every time someone leaves a room. Otherwise looks good. Green Tentacle (Talk) 11:28, April 25, 2016 (UTC)

Object

Toprawa
  • See about subsectioning the Biography and adding another quote if possible. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:41, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • "Unharvestable" is not a word, according to dictionary.com. If the source doesn't use this term, it shoudld be reworded. "Deltic also warned of the possibility that Cynda's destruction would cause the breakdown of large amounts of the thorilide located there, making it unharvestable..."
  • I don't understand why the P/T and the BTS use of the quote use different punctuation. Which is correct? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:04, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
    • Technically both were, Miller got the punctuation wrong on his blog. I've changed it so they both use the punctuation found in the book though. Ayrehead02 (talk) 21:03, October 3, 2016 (UTC)
Jorrel
  • Is there a relevant article for which group of rebels thwarted the explosion? I know it's not the Rebel Alliance (yet), but I'm not familiar enough with the source to know if it's an organized group. If it is, it should get a link.JorrelWiki-shrinkableFraajic 03:01, June 6, 2016 (UTC)
    • There doesn't seem to be one that I can find and since it's only four people together completely informally for one mission it seems kind of unnecessary to me. Ayrehead02 (talk) 07:44, June 7, 2016 (UTC)
ProfessorTofty
  • The fact that she's human should be worked into the intro somehow. ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:08, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
  • The second paragraph under "Pending destruction" feels rather lengthy to me. Maybe split it up into two? ProfessorTofty (talk) 03:08, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
Floyd
  • Can we get a timeframe in the intro?
  • A common complaint I have about a lot of P&Ts: they just describe events and how the person in question react to them. This needs a little more meat. What do her actions and feelings reveal about her character? IFYLOFD (Talk) 02:11, September 14, 2016 (UTC)
    • I usually use the format you describe because I prefer to let readers draw their own conclusion from the relevant info rather than being given definitive statements about their personality based on my own extrapolation from what is often only a few scenes. That being said, I don't feel strongly enough about it to oppose your objection and so have added a couple of more descriptive sections. Is it enough?
