    • In the opening sentence of the biography, you cite Kirst's participation in the Rebel Alliance in 4 ABY to the NEC. I understand the intent, but I think this citation implies that Kirst is mentioned in the NEC because the sentence carries all the way through, unlike later citations which only mention the Rogues, or Red Squadron, etc. Is it possible that this could be reworded so that it's clear that the NEC citation is only confirming that the Rebel Alliance was at Endor in 4 ABY and says nothing about Kirst?

      • Good suggestion. I've now turned it into a sentence that should clear up any confusion. Take a look.
    • Also, would it be appropriate to mention who created Kirst by writing "A Day in the Life"? Or who illustrated her appearance? Just a suggestion.
      • Absolutely. I've added it in; check it out. Thanks for taking a look at the article! Menkooroo (talk) 13:49, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

  • It seems to me that you should mention the Executor's destruction during the part of the body talking about the battle.
    • Yeah, you're right. Added.
  • Could you add a conflicting template to the top of the article?--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 06:06, December 31, 2013 (UTC)
    • That sounds like a good idea. Do you mean about the Executor's destruction, though, or the three days later thing? Or both? Menkooroo (talk) 13:25, January 1, 2014 (UTC)
      • I think you should probably do it for both.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 17:12, January 1, 2014 (UTC)
        • Added one for "A Day in the Life" vs. Heir to the Empire, as it's a pretty noteworthy unresolved canon conflict. After thinking about it, though, I don't believe that one is necessary for The Truce at Bakura, as assuming that the dating of the story is simply a few days off is a pretty simple fix --- this article's BTS even already semi-resolves it by declaring its treatment of the "three days later" date as erroneous. In other words, it's an easy fix that doesn't really seem serious enough to merit twoconflicting, whereas the Heir to the Empire one is pretty serious on account of calling the very existence of "A Day in the Life" into question. Sound fair? Menkooroo (talk) 01:35, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
          • That's fine with me.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 01:37, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

  • Did not expect this one to be FA-length. But the CSWE's confirmation that she a) fought in the Battle of Endor and b) even exists at all added a lot to the word count. I've tried to keep the description of the battle bare-bones, including only what's relevant to the pilots of Red Squadron. Let me know if you think anything should go/be added.
