Hey, I actually watched that episode. 9_9 1358 ^(Talk) 11:50, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah! Deregulate the crooks!--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 20:44, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

There's definitely some space for one or two more images. Also, the sections are in a bizarre order; you should probably have "controversy" before the stuff about the bombing and actually passing the bill.--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 21:17, March 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Is this an objection or a comment? Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 21:38, March 15, 2011 (UTC)
  - Okay, I'll assume it's an objection. Given that, the image comment really isn't valid—I've added in only the necessary number of images. Given that there aren't many pictures that could illustrate what the article is presenting better than the ones already included, I think it's best to leave it as is. Also, the format for legislation and law articles has been established by several other articles of elevated status. The point is to show the straight history of the bill itself, then to discuss the individuals and motivations that drove the history. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 01:11, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Here's a link to the FAnom edit. I forgot to specify as such in the summary again. D'oh. Regardless, there's the link for the Inq. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 20:59, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Two things that I'm not really objecting to; rather questioning:

Opposition field in the infobox: Every opposer except for Farr have "(Senator; <a sector>)", but Farr has "(Senator; <a planet>)". Is his sector unknown?
- The problem I encountered there is that, after some extensive searching, I failed to identify a source that actually says Farr is a sectoral senator, or that explicitly says he represents all of the Savareen sector. I'll I've ever been able to find is that he's a "Rodian senator" or "Senator of Rodia." If you or anyone else can find this information, I'd be very grateful. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 18:54, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
  - Kinda thought that. 1358 ^(Talk) 18:59, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
Also, could you possibly add the airdates of the episode? 1358 ^(Talk) 11:50, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Done. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 18:54, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
  - I've gone ahead and sourced the airdates as a Sofixit. 1358 ^(Talk) 18:59, March 13, 2011 (UTC)
The redlink in the "Senator Amidala seeks a separate peace" section should be made into an article, and if it doesn't have enough sources to deserve one, it should not be included as a link IMO.--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 22:38, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
- This is not a valid objection. Up to three redlinks are allowed in the article body. 1358 ^(Talk) 22:40, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
  - All right, moved as a comment. While redlinks are allowed, creating the article would still be better.--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 02:36, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
    - Yes, it would, but nobody ever indicated that it would be left as a redlink forever. If I don't get around to it, somebody will. Perhaps maybe even you... Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 20:21, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
      - Done. You can elaborate if you want to.--ID-21 Dolphin ^(Talk) 01:03, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
