Limping
  • Shouldn't the two Challenge adventures be in the "Appearances" section? Roleplaying adventures usually are; one even has the "First appearance" tag next to it. Menkooroo (talk) 18:50, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
    • Probably. I think I forgot to change it from the original version. Changed as suggested. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 19:22, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
  • I'm back! When the bio mentions that he was part of the initial team that established the outpost, the stuff about him mapping the entire planet seems like it would be important to note too.
    • Added.
  • "Shortly after the destruction of the Death Star" kind of comes out of nowhere without context on either the death star or its destruction. The Battle of Yavin has already been mentioned; can you equate the two (and add context on the station), else change the reference to simply another Yavin one? Menkooroo (talk) 01:18, September 25, 2012 (UTC)
    • Added reference to the Battle of Yavin in the latter statement and context on Death Star; the source references the destruction of the Death Star implicitly, so I chose to include the actual reference. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 09:56, September 25, 2012 (UTC)

  • A ton of the stuff in his article is apparently ambiguously canon, yet it's treated as fully canon when in the intro, and another ambiguously canon part is in the personality and traits. Shouldn't the intro get rid of that part? As for the personality and traits, maybe just separate what's known canon and what's ambiguous too? I don't think ambiguous canon should be treated as fully canon in the intro the same way the game mechanics and 100% completion things are. The only reason this is not an objection is because I might be wrong about this. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 21:21, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
    • Seeing as the intro is an overview of the article as a whole, the info belongs there or it would be a really short intro. Think of it this way; the intro on its own, without context, will really only be seen on the main page. And the main page snippet doesn't replicate the ambig/non-canon/whatever canon tags at all. Only when reading the article proper is it apparent, which is clearly marked. On the PT stuff, I agree, and have separated it accordingly. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 22:25, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
      • Other FAs that I've seen don't include ambiguously canon info in the intro, however those ones have a lot more info than your nomination. I've never seen this sort of situation before, but I can understand your inclusion of it. And if you were to get rid of all ambiguously canon info from the info, would that shorten the word count too much? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 22:51, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
        • Other FAs do not have the same ratio of canon-to-ambig canon as far as I am aware. And if the ambig canon were taken out of the intro, I doubt it would dip below the word count. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 22:58, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
          • Understood. First time I've ever seen an article with the bulk of its info coming from stuff that is not confirmed canon. One more thing: Do you think confirmed canon stuff, like his species and gender, commanding Reginard Base, etc. in the bio section can be separated from the ambiguously canon? As is, it reads that those parts too may or may not be canon, as opposed to being proven canon. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 00:57, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
