Zuko's advice
  • Hi Brandon ! Here i'll give you my standart review. Could you use the code of Show Dupplicated links ? Because i think that, for every articles and mainly on the FA, there should be no Dupps. links. So, it would be good if you could look at this.--Emperor Jarjarkine MP-Mandalorian Senate Hall 23:32, October 3, 2014 (UTC)
Hanzo
  • As a prelim, note the Layout Guide establishes all infobox info must be in the article body itself, meaning his height, hair, eye and skin color. It seems standard practice to put these in personality and traits sections.
  • Will do a full review later. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 03:25, November 2, 2014 (UTC)
  • Please edit his behind the scenes to reflect how the Tarkin novel brought back that Legends first name of his. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 23:49, December 2, 2014 (UTC)
Culator
  • Indeed, even a lack of ability merits a skills and abilities section if that lack is made evident by the references and is relevant to the bio. In Valorum's case, I think these conditions are true. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 00:03, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
Richter
  • According to the Layout Guide, Encyclopedia and New Databank entries are to be listed in alphabetical order according to entry name. So "Supreme Chancellor Valorum" should be listed under "S" (even though personally I feel there are advantages to have the main subject article listed first like it is now).--Richterbelmont10 R2 sig(come in R2!) 17:10, May 21, 2015 (UTC)
    • Done. In the future, though, I would recommend treating this as a "sofixit" edit. This is simple enough to fix on your own without need for an objection. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:18, May 21, 2015 (UTC)
Cadeth
  • Terrence Stamp's character was first named in the Insider article Stamp of Approval; this should be included in the BTS, I'd think. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 18:29, June 3, 2015 (UTC)
    • We're going to need some language that hedges on that a bit. Of the sources we can list, that's the one that first mentions "Supreme Chancellor Valorum." However, there's really no way of knowing, 16 years later, what the first mention of his name was. Was there a cast list at some point? Was there a newspaper article? What about another magazine article, outside of Insider? The language has to be carefully constructed if we were to reference that Insider article (which, personally, I don't think we need to). Any suggestions? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:41, June 3, 2015 (UTC)
      • Hrmmm. I'll have to check my files for the specific Insider when I get home, and I'll get back to you tonight. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 18:43, June 3, 2015 (UTC)
        • I have it. I'll check. Standby. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:50, June 3, 2015 (UTC)
          • Best as I can tell, there's nothing specifically suggesting this is the first mention of the name. If you have any thoughts after looking at the Insider article, that'd be great. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 18:53, June 3, 2015 (UTC)

Approved as a Featured article by Inquisitorius 15:04, June 4, 2015 (UTC)

Note: There was some disagreement over whether this article should have a "Skills and abilities" section, since no skills are outright stated. I could talk about how Valorum was unable to manage the bureaucracy and reign in corruption, and that Palpatine politically outmaneuvered Valorum—resulting in Palpatine's eventual tyrannical reign. If those who review this page think it should be added, I will be happy to add it. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 04:38, September 15, 2014 (UTC)
