  • The intro dates his encounter with the spacer "at some point" --- can you be more specific? What's in the bio is good.
  • I think the bio goes into way too much detail about the spacer's quest. Helping Ar'lensa retrieve the spice, getting the suit from Palu, rescuing Palu's sister, and going to the Great Pit of Carkoon --- none of these details are really relevant for the purposes of Goru's article. Simply establishing that the spacer was able to obtain the ingredients would be enough, especially since the BTS gives all of those details again.
  • In P&T, I don't know if it's necessary to once again namedrop all of the organizations that want him killed --- the bio already spells this out; no need to do it again, really.
  • I'm wondering... would {{Twoconflicting}} be appropriate at the top of the page, given the major discrepancy between the game and the website? Menkooroo (talk) 02:03, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
    • How is that?--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 02:55, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
    • As a note, the SonyCite template doesn't seem to accept Wookieepedia links, so I couldn't include my newly created article for the website's article. The article is still about one thousand and fifty words, so its still set to be an FA. Thanks for the review, Galaxies and The Old Republic nominations aren't popular ones to look over it seems.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 02:55, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
      • Don't be discouraged! Reviewing seems to be slow all around right now. Also, if we now have the article on 10 Hot Spots Travel Guide, then I think you're supposed to just link to that article in "Sources" and "Notes and references" rather than use the SonyCite. That's what I did with Checklist: 10 Star Wars Superweapons in Mofference; if we have an article on it, then I think we're supposed to link to it when we can.

  • Any pictures for the body, EJ? How about a Zicx-bug bomb? And maybe a picture of Rori? Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 22:55, September 29, 2012 (UTC)
    • I added an image of the bomb, I think another image would make it too crowded.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 23:26, September 29, 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks go to StarsiderSWG, who looked over the article and made additions to it.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 23:06, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
  • I just wanted to interject something here. It's possible the Human depiction is actually what he is supposed to look like. Imperialles uploaded that image in 2007, and I have a 2011 image that looks exactly like that. So I think the Devs at some point during the game gave him a fixed Human appearance. But if we should leave it ambiguous, that's fine. StarsiderSWG (talk) 01:20, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
    • Hmmm, I'll wait and see what other reviewers think before changing anything. Thanks for finding this out.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 03:43, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
      • I think it should be left ambiguous, without any official word. I find it interesting that both this character and the Blackmailer can be depicted as female when the game's text indicates they are male. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 04:07, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
        • Actually, as that website with the Bith picture is a source, and does provide new info (the stuff that other person said that apparently isn't already in the game), is it possible that depiction of him is canon-binding? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 04:25, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
          • I can't remember if the conversation was in the game or not, I just sourced it this way because I couldn't confirm if that information was from the game. I believe that SOE just used game screenshots to illustrate their articles, so I'm not sure if it can be used as the official depiction.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 04:51, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
            • All right, I finally found the Allakhazam's record of the quest and they said that Rainstealer starts the quest series.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 05:08, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
          • From what I remember, the dialogue from the website feature was never actually in the game. Goru definitely did start the quest though. StarsiderSWG (talk) 22:32, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
