--Eyrezer 23:05, August 14, 2010 (UTC)- Another interesting article, Cav! I have to say that while I agree with Jugg's objection, I have faith that you'll fix it, so I'll cast my vote now. Cylka-talk- 04:42, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

No, no, I could not
"The Plaque was around one to two inches thick" Can you convert this to cm, as we use metric. I'd also suggest making a note and referencing it that the source presents it in inches and you changed it.Chack Jadson (Talk) 15:24, August 1, 2010 (UTC)- Inches is used in the original source, though. Converting it will make the sentence "The Plaque was around 5.08 to 7.62 centimeters thick" which I think is a little unwieldy considering the source states inches over cm in this case. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 07:47, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but the MoS says to use metric. I'd suggest just saying "about 5 to 7.5 cm." Or you could use the exact measurements. I'd think you, as an Englishmen, would support that. :P Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:40, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- I actually think that would be the definition of Original Research, since that's based solely on Earth standards. I don't think a true IU Star Wars metric conversion chart even exists. That bit you're citing from the MOS is from the very beginning of the creation of Wookieepedia, if I'm not mistaken. It probably needs revision, if not outright removal. At any rate, it's best to stay with what the original source says. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:43, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- That's reasonable. After some more thought, I've decided to strike. Chack Jadson (Talk) 22:03, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Just one: I'm a bit confused about the order of events: in the intro you say that civil war erupted and then Kastays hid the Plaque, but in the History section you say that Kastays hid the Plaque, but it went on to cause the civil war anyway.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:27, August 14, 2010 (UTC)- Rejigged the intro to follow the timeline of the body. Thanks for the review. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 08:46, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
