Object

Braha

"and most of the squadron also lost their lives in the engagement, including Dreis, Nett, Naeco, and Branon's fellow squadron members Surrel and Binli" are the first listed people also fellow squadron members? Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 07:21, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
- Clarified they were wingmen. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

Lew

~~I don't think the Red Flight pilot should be mentioned in the navbox, since they aren't from the same squadron it's possible both John and that pilot used it at the same time~~ Lewisr (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
- Changed to Micha thanks to Timelines. Also added a date for Elar, please have a look. UberSoldat93 (talk) 15:58, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
  - Discussed on discord Lewisr (talk) 20:13, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
~~Could you include that John was part of the second flight?~~
- Done, do you think this should be reflected in the infobox too?
  - Personally I think Red Squadron being listed is fine
~~Similar to Theron Nett#Equipment, flak vest should be included~~ Lewisr (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Updated, thanks. UberSoldat93 (talk) 14:32, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Fred strikes back

~~Been excited to review this one for a while! First up, the intro quote ref should just be the short story, not a date ref.~~ Master Fredcerique(talk) (he/him) 23:05, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed, thanks for catching that. UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Anil

(Reviewing note) Nice work on this! Just wanted to give a heads-up about the appearance templates tweak in my copy-edit, which was based on the formatting here.
- Thanks. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
~~The 2018 Galactic Files card erroneously calls Branon "Red Ten," which should be documented in BTS.~~
- Done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Not an actual objection since it's not a requirement, but I think briefly mentioning who the next "Red Four" was in Legacy would be an appropriate addition so that information wouldn't be exclusive to the succession box.
- Added. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
  - I might be overthinking this, but it may be worth clarifying that we are still talking about the "Red Four" of the rebel Red Squadron since the same callsign is apparently also used by the rebels' Red Flight and the Resistance's Red Squadron. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
    - Done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
      - Oh, sorry for not being more clear on what I meant. BTS looks fine to me, I mean to clarify that Elar served as the Red Four of the Red Squadron in the body. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
        Also done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:40, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
~~In that same box, the date note doesn't really explain how the year 0 "ABY" is derived.~~
- I'm looking into this. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Reworked the note, please have a look. UberSoldat93 (talk) 15:26, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
  - The date note works well, though doesn't "by" 0 ABY mean "in or before" that year? Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
    - Clarified further. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:38, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
~~According to TCDb, there are three other physical trading cards currently not listed in Sources.~~
- See below comment. I've added the Rogue One card since it has text. The others don't have images attached so I can't verify them. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
  - Since it was addressed in the objection below, just wanted to give a friendly heads-up that this one still stands. I really don't mind not adding the two remaining cards to the list if it's the standard practice, but I just don't think we have ever omitted any sort of physical product before even if it doesn't provide anything new. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 21:47, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
    - Added and redlinks filled in, thanks for discovering these by the way. Also, let me know if the cards are properly formatted. UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:27, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
~~I think there are also a few missing digital cards from Card Trader, at least one of which contains lore on its back. (Please let me know if you require screenshots!)~~ Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 00:56, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Regarding cards, those might be pre-existing physical cards, which I've chosen to avoid due to redundancy. I've also avoided cards that only feature an image of the character with no flavor text, as was the standard practice until now. If something's changed since then, I'm unaware. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
  - Yeah, that's right, but IIRC that was standard practice for Card Trader cards, not physical releases. On an unrelated note, after checking out the app again, I think all CT cards that contain text are based on physical releases that are already listed in the article, so nothing more to add from the app! Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
~~About that "third draft" of the original Star Wars, is it possible to pipelink that to this or any other script drafts?~~ Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 01:07, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- Done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:21, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
~~Could you please confirm if Branon is visible in these two?~~ Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 19:22, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
- That'd be impossible to tell. In interviews, Klaff only talks about filming the death scene, and strongly implies that's the only scene he filmed. UberSoldat93 (talk) 07:38, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
