Floyd
Context for Booster Terrik in the intro.- Added.
Context for Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron too.- Added.
And Ysanne Isard.- Added.
"Tapper commanded the convoy that travelled to The Graveyard in the Alderaan system" In this sentence, would it be "The Graveyard" or "the Graveyard"? The latter seems more fitting to me. Same thing when you mention it in the body.- Not sure, but the source I was working from decapitalised the "The", so I'm following suit.
"the pair were rumbled by Gamgalon and his Krish underlings who planned to kill the pair of them." Rumbled? Dafuq does this mean?- Rumbled. Found out. Discovered. You colonials need to learn proper English. Changed, though.
Also context on Mara Jade in the intro.- Added.
I think you should note what a come-up flector is.- I would if I had any idea what it was. It's one of the those terms that Zahn uses but doesn't flesh out. I think it means something like a "front man" or "salesperson" but I'm not entirely sure and don't really want to speculate.
- Alright then. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 20:45, August 9, 2012 (UTC)

Attack of the Clone
"Tapper remained on-station": what exactly do you mean by on-station? At his current location, you mean? Please clarify.- On station: in air intercept usage, a code meaning, “I have reached my assigned station.”/ in close air support and air interdiction, a term used to indicate that airborne aircraft are in position to attack targets or to perform the mission designated by the control agency. That's what I mean by the usage. I got it from war films :P
Context on Melina Carniss.- Added.
Context on Jabba the Hutt.- Added.
"in the wake of the attack at Alderaan": can this be worded differently, since Alderaan was technically destroyed prior to then? If you're referring to the star system, please do so directly.- Clarified to mean the graveyard.
Context on the Uwana Buyer.- Added.
"She introduced herself as Celina Marniss, and her knowledge about the cause of their hyperdrive failure, and her general attitude and demeanor impressed Tapper and Karrde." Something's not right with all of the uses of "and"; please check.- Try that.
"Tapper grabbed the rifle out of the hands of one of the Krish": is this a blaster rifle?- Yes, clarified.
Was he a crime lord? He's listed this way in the categories, but the article doesn't ever refer to him as one. Please clarify.CC7567 (talk) 19:01, September 4, 2012 (UTC)- Well, he headed his own smuggling organization. Not sure if that qualifies as a crime lord or not. Removed to be safe. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 08:08, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Tapper
"The Essential Guide to Characters... states that Tapper's organization joined Karrde's shortly after the Battle of Endor." Is that really a contradiction? Two years later seems to fit within the "shortly after" range. Is this maybe supposed to say "before" rather than "after" ? The contrast presented by the italicizing of after in the later NEGTC sentence makes me wonder.- No, its after. I tend to think of "shortly" as a brief amount of time, a few months at best and definitely not two years. Shortly; in a short time; soon. The source states Tapper was with Karrde for four years, rather than the previously established two, which I have added for clarity. The italicisation is an error left over from a previous revision and has been removed.
Context (and a link) needed for the Thrawn crisis in the BTS, as it's not mentioned in the article's IU parts.- Clarified.
"Tapper is mentioned twice in The Official Star Wars Fact File. Firstly, in Mara Jade Skywalker's entry..." A little nitpicky, but this seems to imply that Mara only has one entry in all of the Fact Files (ditto Karrde a couple sentences later). Maybe reference the specific issue?- Technically, they only get one entry each, but broken down into multiple installments. Issue numbers added.
Is there an appropriate category pertaining to him heading up his own smuggling organization? Category:Business owners and executives, maybe?Menkooroo (talk) 12:08, September 9, 2012 (UTC)- I wouldn't add him to that category since that would be reserved for legitimate businesspeople. He was in the crime lord category until recently, but there was doubt as to whether or not running a smuggling organization qualified him for such a category. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 12:54, September 12, 2012 (UTC)
