Preliminaries:

  • History could benefit from subsectioning.
    • Would you have any recommendations on how best to subsection it? I'm not entirely sure, considering practically all of it is about the Battle of Sullust. Perhaps section the final paragraph separately since that is after the battle rather than during it?
  • 1250 vs. 1,250 inconsistency.
    • Changed to just 1,250
  • It seems a bit odd that you say only six starfighters. Why would she need more than one? JediMasterMacaroniAdmiral Ackbar RH(Talk) 00:34, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
    • That's just what the source states. That detail is originally from Legends (in some stories Ventress would lose one of her fanblades and then still have another one later on). DwartiiDelver (talk) 00:42, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

  • First sentence should be broken in two.
    • Broken
  • Color can just be pipelinked the first time a color is mentioned, using the word itself is unnecessary in that sentence.
    • Done
  • The image in Characteristics should be bigger, I can't tell what's in it without magnifying it.
    • Better?
  • Sith needs to be linked in the body.
    • Linked
  • Since you mention in characteristics that force users could do flips and shit you should mention later that Ventress was a force user. Commander Code-8 Hello There! 00:11, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

  • Should Ventress' fighter get its own article?
    • I'm inclined to say no. The fanblade fighter Ventress flies at Sullust remains the only one we've seen in canon, and there does not appear to be anything distinct about that one in particular (for instance, that specific fanblade is not given its own name, and there is no mention of it being modified in any way).
  • Ref 16 should use {{TCWCite}}. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 09:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Added.
  • Per Layout Guide, a "Role" section is in order. I can see that its designation as a "starfighter" is suitable for that section.
    • Added a Role section.
  • "Ventress betrayed" can benefit an image. The images can also be enlarged. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 09:06, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

  • Does the source used in the infobox use the abbreviation "feet, ... in"? I'd have expected to see "ft" there instead of "feet" if "in" is used.
    • My mistake, "ft" is indeed used in the source.
  • Could you work in a mention of the solar sail into the infobox?
    • I'd certainly like to, although I'm not positive which field it could fit under. Maybe "avionics"? Or just "other systems"?
  • Please avoid the dangling participle here - "After damaging Kenobi's craft with her fanblade fighter's lower laser cannon, the two Jedi split up, leaving Skywalker to contend with the droid starfighters while Ventress gave chase to Kenobi."
    • I believe that's taken care of it now.
  • Could you add just a bit of context for who Ahsoka Tano was?
    • Added.
  • How would you feel about splitting the BTS into two smaller subsections? I feel like it currently lends itself quite well to splitting evenly along the middle - you could name the first subsection "Portrayal" and the second one "Naming and contradictions" or something to that effect. Imperators II(Talk) 18:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
    • Good thought! Subsectioned the bts and, at least for now, used the names you suggested. DwartiiDelver (talk) 00:21, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
