  • The page for Dawn of Rebellion states that Raddus is mentioned, but it is not mentioned on this page.
    • It was originally listed here, I checked it as extensively as I could but couldn't find a mention. I'll remove it from there.
  • A couple other FAs (Tala Durith and Haja Estree) list their cards from 2022 Topps 206 Star Wars, but this page does list its cards from the same set.
    • Based on a quick look those cards have unique images for those characters, though I could be wrong as to that being the reason. In any event, there's nothing unique here to include.
      • I'm not 100% sure of the precedent, but per a Discord discussion here, I think we list all physical Topps cards. ThrawnChiss7 Mitth symbol Assembly Cupola 18:19, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
        • As much as I entirely believe that it is unnecessary to include this card, added. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 17:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
          • I would support a change away from this, but Consistency is king. ThrawnChiss7 Mitth symbol Assembly Cupola 18:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
            • On the other hand, Nuance; as I explained here, I think that "Consistency" is the weakest argument for saying that all cards should be included. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 09:10, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • It appears as though the Raddus card part of the Topps Star Wars Living set was released in 2023, per tcdb, but you have it listed in sources as being released in 2019. ThrawnChiss7 Mitth symbol Assembly Cupola 00:30, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
    • I believe I had that originally but C4-DE changed it. I'll put it back. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 19:43, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

  • It seems like Mon Cala is duplicated in the born field; also, I think it'd be better if a ref note was made to have only one reference sourcing that field, since it's longstanding precedent.
    • Fixed. I've never felt this was a critical precedent but I don't feel strongly about it.
      • I think the duplication is still present, unless one of the Mon Cala bits is to mention a city (but in which case it'd need to be linked); the field currently has one Mon Cala on the top line and one below.—spookywillowwtalk 18:24, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
        • Oy, thought I had deleted that.
  • On most RO noms, the Junior Novel is also treated as a simult. appearance due to all of those coming out on the same day as the film; should likely be the same here.
    • Added.
  • This does seem to have popped into four hidden maintenance categories (probably as a result of the bot run); should be fixed and/or reverted.—spookywillowwtalk 02:00, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Hmm I can't find the weird parenthetical thing, and I'm gonna check with Cade to see if there's an efficient way to add all the Topps links before I do it manually. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 06:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Did them manually - I also did several searches for every parentheses in the article and I still can't find what the category is referring to. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 12:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

  • Maybe just me, but I don't like seeing ranks, titles, etc. before the character's actual name bolded in the lead. It looks disorganized. Is there any way to mention Raddus's rank of admiral elsewhere in the lead? SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 01:50, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
    • Personally I very much do like it - it's a bit of variety from what many articles do, plus aesthetically I think it looks nice.
  • Is LEGO Star Wars: Find the pairs considered a source? I thought all video games, regardless of canonical value, counted as appearances. SorcererSupreme21 (talk) 01:50, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
    • It's not a question of canonicity, it's that it's a matching cards game, which is not a narrative work - Appearances is for things that take place within the timeline. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 21:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

  • I think his birth year needs to be changed to an approximate date since it's based on a calculation and not directly stated
    • I suppose, changed.
  • Should reefship be linked to something? It seems like it should have a page
    • Stubbed.
  • The Scarif system is infoxbox exclusive (Technically it is in the BTS too but I don't think that counts)CometSmudge (talk) 03:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
