    • From the squalid cubicle of Graestan:
    • Could perhaps the time period be established near the beginning of the intro?
      • Gave the timeline where we actually have a timeline. Damn brand-new eras! Havac 05:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
        • Actually, stating his ancestry does the trick; hadn't noticed that.
    • Explain why Ossus may have been in need of terraforming.
      • Ehhh . . . there's not much detail on it. I expanded it as much as I could. Havac 05:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
        • Explain what happened to Ossus that would cause it to have barren areas.
          • That's just it. There's no explanation given. Is it related to the supernova? If so, why is it still barren when the rest of the planet already recovered? Is it related to the Yuuzhan Vong War? If so, we haven't heard about it. Is it just some random desert? We don't know enough to say any more than the fact that there were barren areas and Kol used them as a test ground for the important part -- terraforming worlds devastated by the YVW.

            • Ah; thought the whole planet was still relatively barren at that point. My mistake.Graestan(This party's over) 23:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
    • "Up until" is a bit awkward.
      • See about that. Havac 05:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

    • From the sloop of Four Dot's desk armada
      • "Skywalker spearheaded the Ossus Project, designed to rehabilitate the Yuuzhan Vong's public image by having them rehabilitate war-torn worlds," - The sentence needs a bit of rehabilitation. :P
        • Ooh, that was silly. Havac 17:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Is it confirmed that he's descended from Ben? If so, it would be better to not lineage from him, rather than Luke. I seriously don't know, well, because...you know.
        • It's not. Havac 17:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Using the Skywalker surname in a "Cade-intensive" part of the bio is a tad confusing. This is an instance in which first names become preferable for a short while.
        • I don't know; they're consistently referred to as Skywalker and Cade, which keeps it from being too confusing. If you're using the surname, you're talking about the subject. If I start mixing Kols in there, then it becomes questionable when Skywalker refers to who and I either have to go all first names like we're in the bloody pub together or else it's confusing. The way it is, it's pretty simple, and most of the Skywalker stuff is put in context with stuff like "Skywalker told his son" or such.
        • I'm still a bit iffy on it, but I see your point. If there was a large section where, say, he was partnered with Cade and did a whole heap of stuff, I'd probably have to make a stand, but as is, I suppose it's acceptable.
      • The "Massacre at Ossus" section feels a tad like a play-by-play, but I'm not totally convinced...I dunno, maybe you could shave a bit off here, a bit off there. Not too much.
        • I trimmed a little bit, probably the most extraneous detail. See about that. Havac 17:43, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
          • It could probably stand to lose more, but not an objectionable amount. Thefourdotelipsis 22:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
      • That's all. Thefourdotelipsis 06:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. [[:File:SadKol.jpg]] and [[:File:Kolbody.jpg]] are distorted and need to be re-scanned. --Imperialles 17:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Would it be possible to find an infobox image without bits of speech bubbles, or to crop that one so they're out? - Lord Hydronium 07:41, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
