Object

Ghesswork

• "Ghes. I told you that you don't have to call me that." Just to confirm, is that how the comic spells the name in that instance? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 10:54, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
  • Yes issue 29 continually refers to them as 'Ghes' Lewisr (talk) 14:25, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
    • In that case can we get a [sic]? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 22:48, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
      • Added Lewisr (talk) 22:49, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Anil

• Would Category:Pilots be applicable?
  • Added Lewisr (talk) 16:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
• I'd say Ghess' death date can be dated to long before by 3 BBY since they died during the era of the Sith, which ended in 1032 BBY per Timelines.
• About the date note for Aphra's time at the University of Bar'leth, unless I'm missing something, Timelines only states Aphra obtained her doctorate in 3 BBY, without mentioning Bar'leth at all. If that's the case, could you please clarify that in the note? Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

OOM

• Just one thing: "left hand" for an individual's role isn't really a real-world term, unlike "right hand." Would something like "assistant" be an appropriate replacement? OOM 224 (he/him) 21:09, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
  • It's actually what the comic used 'When we founded the Ascendant, you asked me to be your left hand' Lewisr (talk) 21:42, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
    • It's just that I'm not sure that using it in the article would be clear for readers, even though that's the comic's terminology. I guess it's easy enough to understand anyway given the context though. OOM 224 (he/him) 21:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Comments

Approved as a Featured article by Inquisitorius 01:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

• Not an objection since it's my personal opinion, but I believe the article should favor "Ghes" instead since that spelling appears multiple times in a more recent source, whereas "Ghess" is used in only one instance in a previous issue. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 16:31, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
  • Just to note that I've tweeted Alyssa Wong about the spelling to see if they may be able to confirm which spelling is the correct/preferred Lewisr (talk) 18:15, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
