Oppose

  1. From the squadron briefing of Cavalier One:
    • Infobox needs to be referenced.
      • Done. -- Colinmcev 02:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Are the assault transports specifically refered to as ATR-6s? If not, then I would link to the generic assault shuttle article instead. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 09:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
      • I couldn't find the exact reference to ATR-6s, so I changed it as you suggested. -- Colinmcev 02:10, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  2. From the desk of Atarumaster88
    • The first paragraph of New Republic bombardment needs split somehow-right now, it combines the prelude and the beginning of the battle, which are two separate topics.
      • I split the paragraph and put the earlier half in the prior section. Better?
    • "be dropping quicker than usual, " This should be reworded. Perhaps "quicker than expected"?
      • Done. -- Colinmcev 04:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
    • More context on Celchu's arrival and how he learned of Borleias's location. I believe that is in fact pertinent to the article.
      • I checked back, but all it said is that he was monitoring traffic in the Forbidden rather than participate in the combat. I changed the reference to reflect that. Feel free to reword if you like. -- Colinmcev 04:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
    • " Although the Y-wings lacked the speed for such a dogfight, their massive firepower dealt a powerful blow to the TIE squadrons" POV.
      • Reworked. Is it better? -- Colinmcev 04:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
    • I wish there was more BtS, but if you've checked Stackpole's cite and SW.com, I suppose that's about it. Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 18:34, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
      • If you know of any more, I'd love to include it. -- Colinmcev 04:04, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Comments

  • NOTE: Just so you all know, I am going off to get married and honeymooned and whatnot, so I will be out of commission on the Wook until Oct. 8 at the earliest. If there are any objections that need my attention, I'll take care of them upon my return, so please don't boot the article until after that time. Thanks all! -- Colinmcev 04:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Back. -- Colinmcev 23:30, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
