Object

4dot

The comic relief, if it's in the episode, should be interpreted literally. Some mention of this in the article or at least acknowledgement is required, I think. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 05:05, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
- I added a reference under "Description". Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 01:06, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Trip

One of the ref's redirects to Star Wars: Edge of the Empire: Shadows of a Black Sun, but the appearance links to Star Wars: Edge of the Empire: Under a Black Sun. I wasn't sure which one was right, so I didn't wanna fix the ref redirect without being sure. Trip391 (talk) 16:01, October 25, 2013 (UTC)
- Shadows of a Black Sun was the original name for the product. Under a Black Sun is the correct one. Cade Calrayn 16:03, October 25, 2013 (UTC)

Clone fly-by

Chronicling The Clone Wars #10 mentions them as "Guardian police droids," so since this blog is coming directly from Leland Chee, it appears that their full name would be as such. (Please remember to use the full {{Blog}} tag when citing the blog post.) CC7567 ^(talk) 02:25, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Info added, page moved, and I also made a mention in the BTS. Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 19:25, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

Attack of the Clone

I don't think the "Discontinued after 19 BBY" should be set in the "death" field of the infobox. I realize that it refers to an overall cessation in the CSF's usage of this droid model, but that doesn't necessarily correlate with the "death" of all units, which in my opinion should be reserved more for specific individuals, not an article like this that is for all models.
- Removed.
~~Rather minor, but I believe Blaster pistol (Coruscant police droid model) needs to be moved so that the parenthetical disambiguation matches the "Guardian police droid" name.~~
- Completed.
~~Can the intro be expanded slightly? One potential detail to add would be that they were phased out by 19 BBY.~~
- Done. But please see if I need to expand further.
  - "the police droids were began to be phased out though they saw continued general use": something's not right here. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - Done.
~~Some article needs to be linked (and potentially created) for the "kidnapping of Che Amanwe and Chi Eekway" in the intro, as well as the "abduction" in the body.~~
- Done.
  - As the link is in the intro, please take the time to create an article for it, since the intro cannot have any redlinks. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - Never mind, I've gone ahead and taken care of it for you in this case. However, please do this yourself in the future. CC7567 ^(talk) 11:33, January 1, 2014 (UTC)
Please take note of the new policy regarding rank capitalization. Specifically, "Duchess" and "Senator" need to be decapitalized when used by themselves. Please check the article for other potential titles that need to be corrected.
- Done.
  - Just a note: Dark Lord is among the exceptions to the rule since it is capitalized that way on its own.
~~What's the significance of the "blood underneath the icon"—i.e. whose was it? And how did Chairman Papanoida respond to finding it?~~
- Expanded.
  - It sounds like an article also needs to be created for the rescue of Che Amanwe on Tatooine. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - Done.
~~The Republic military enhancement bill is a conjectural title, so it cannot be directly referred to as such.~~
- Done.
  - "over the a Republic military spending bill": please proofread this… you've already been asked in the past to take more time and be more careful when addressing objections, so please make sure to do so next time. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - Done.
~~"Two police droids interfered in the attack": where exactly did this happen?~~
- Done.
Are there any more relevant details that can be added to the History paragraph on the events of "Senate Murders"? Specifically the fact that Purs (at the time of the incident at the docks) wasn't yet known to be Farr's murderer, but this paragraph might benefit from other details too. Please recheck the episode and see if you think anything else can be added.
- Done.
  - Take a good, long look over the changes that you just made. There are a few more careless errors that, while minor, should have already been weeded out via proofreading. I don't want to come off as too harsh, but you need to take more time when making changes. Otherwise, each round of objections is going to be followed by another round asking you to proofread those changes (as is the case now). Please, please take more time to proofread next time. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - My apologies, I was in a rush and forgot to proofread. The errors should be taken care of now.
      - Another relevant detail would be that the two police droids outside the Chancellor's office (the one who arrested Purs) were deactivated up until Divo remotely activated them. Also, it might be relevant to incorporate that detail (the fact that they can be remotely activated by hardware like a datapad) into the Description section.

        Added. Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 19:46, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
Has it ever been directly confirmed that the police droid described in Shadow Hunter is the same one as the Guardian police droid seen in TCW? If there isn't any official confirmation, there's no way to know that they're the same—the only thing that they have in common, from what I can see, is that they were both used by the CSF, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they were the same model. Unless it's confirmed, I would recommend splitting the information on the Shadow Hunter police droid into another article. I know it might seem like overkill, but in general TCW doesn't have a reputation for drawing from the EU (such as a novel like Shadow Hunter), so I doubt they were intended to be the same—which means that the Guardian police droid article shouldn't incorporate info on them. Please rectify.
- Yes there is a confirmation, Filoni states in the "Senate Murders" commentary that the police droids were used on Coruscant for quiet some time prior to the episode. Granted he doesn't mention Shadow Hunter directly, but I would say that's enough confirmation of their usage during the time period of Shadow Hunter. And while the novel doesn't describe them, it calls them "police droids". What do you think? Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 14:28, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
  - I'm still not that convinced that the TV series crew intended them to be a reference to the Shadow Hunter model—the two droids fill the same role as police droids, but I have yet to come across something that's stated they were intended to be the same model. I do understand the urge as a fan to connect different material across Star Wars canon, but those connections have to come through official sources instead of us having to extrapolate. Again, part of the reason I'm taking a hardliner stance with this is because The Clone Wars isn't known for recognizing the details of the EU, so I don't think it's proper for us to assume that's the case here. (Does that make sense?) Unless there's a source that directly states that the Shadow Hunter model is the same as this one, I'd recommend splitting the article. CC7567 ^(talk) 21:54, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
    - Makes sense. Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 20:37, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
~~Why is "Revival" listed in the Appearances? I assume this is a simple error (possibly referring instead to the spaceport police droid) but I wanted to check.~~ CC7567 ^(talk) 22:27, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm not sure why that was there, removed.
Also, the police droids are mentioned in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: New Battlefronts: The Visual Guide, which isn't listed in the Sources. Please make sure the Sources list is complete with all material, The Clone Wars or otherwise. CC7567 ^(talk) 09:09, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Done. Coruscantfan ^(Talk) 14:28, December 29, 2013 (UTC)
