  • I pick up on an apparent discrepancy between the infobox, which lists him among the "battle droid" class, but the very first sentence of the intro identifies him as an assassin droid, which I believe is also canonically considered a formal droid class.
    • The source intermittently refers to him by both terms. I have now identified him as a battle droid in the intro, for consistency. --Jinzler (talk) 14:06, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Does the original source actually present the Characteristics quote in that literal manner? I ask because a comma would normally punctuate that sentence.
    • Yes, the source does indeed present the quote exactly as it is in the article. This would appear to be one of the Living Force campaign's many instances of poor spelling and grammar. --Jinzler (talk) 14:06, October 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Some equipment items I see not listed in the infobox: deflector shield generator, remote processor broadcast array, vocabulator, comlink. I might also recommend sub-bulleting the specific types of droid drones he controls. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:18, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

  • Great work. Just a couple of things: I think I understand why the final paragraph of the Bio is sourced to CSWE (because it's the source that establishes his canon fate), but wouldn't it be more accurate if only the final sentence or two were sourced to the CSWE? I'm guessing that a lot of specific details from the first part of that paragraph are from Contract AA23 and can't be found in the CSWE.
    • Thanks for picking that up, I forgot to reference that section properly. Fixed. --Jinzler (talk) 20:13, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
  • This is pretty minor, but the linking in ref [1] is a little inconsistent. Things like Clone Wars and 21 BBY are linked despite also being linked in the article proper, but others like time and year aren't. When it comes to explanatory ref notes, I like to think that there are two options --- either link everything you can, or only link things that aren't also linked in the article proper. Does that make sense? There's no policy on it, but that kind of all-or-nothing option does offer some consistency. Sorry for the rant; let me know what you think.

    • I see your logic and I have now linked everything in the reference, per your suggestion. --Jinzler (talk) 20:13, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
      • It was nitpicky. Also, I was wrong; "year" was already linked. :D Menkooroo (talk) 01:18, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
