Object

Erebus

• Currently, the first Biography paragraph is a giant run-on sentence without pauses. Please fix. Erebus Chronus ^(Talk) 15:12, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Fixed. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 03:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Macaroni

• Date needs a new ref.
• One last audiobook is missing.
• Context for Obroa-skai and Rudrig?
• Do you think we need a page for the Human History department or Department of History?
• I think that explaining Gallandro's grudge would be helpful, if such details are available. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 20:58, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
  • All should be addressed. Created a page for the Department of History, but don't think the other one merits it personally. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 01:38, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
• Any reason you're not mentioning the dialogue between Skynx and Solo as described in the quote of "An unexpected journey"?
  • Didn't seem relevant to me. All he's doing is describing the Queen of Ranroon, which is covered when I introduce the ship. Not every line of dialogue needs to be detailed in the body, necessarily.
• Also not seeing anything in the body about his goodbye exchange with Solo. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 00:47, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Added. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 01:08, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
• If Cat Staggs is indeed the designer of the image as File:Professor Skynx.jpg suggests, it should be documented somewhere.
  • Done.
• The bit about being a musician would be better suited for a "Skills and abilities" section.
  • Added.
• There's room for an image in the P+T. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 22:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
  • What do you suggest? I usually like to use photos of the character for those, but we only have the one. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 05:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Maybe one of Ruuria? In order to connect it to the P+T text, we can do something like, "Skynx was a Ruurian from the planet Ruuria (pictured)". Thoughts? JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 05:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
      • Added. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 03:42, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
• Sorry for the delay, last couple things: "Corellian" is infobox-exclusive.
  • It's not in the infobox?
    • Oops, meant the intro. In any case, added the link myself.
• Context for Ammuud. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 01:39, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Added. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 04:33, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

UberSoldat

• You use both "simple-minded" and "mindless" to describe chroma-wing. These two terms mean different things.
• Can you spell out the "Celebratus Archive" instead of using a pipelink?
• I would rather you use an image of Han Solo that looks less "cluttered" with other things in it.
• "Skynx's years of study made him one of the most well-known "Ximologists" in the galaxy[2] and resulted in a unique collection of artifacts..." Resulted in what? What's happening with the artifacts?
  • Still unclear. UberSoldat93 (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Not sure how it's unclear? "...his collection of a unique assortment of artifacts," He collected them. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 14:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
      • Reworded slightly, I hope it's still accurate to the source material. UberSoldat93 (talk) 14:54, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
        • Yup, looks good. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 01:05, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
• "Human History" can get an article of its own, seeing as we have articles on departments of organizations. "Emeritus Chair" can also get one.
• "Skynx and his compatriots were subsequently rendered unconscious by a mysterious force and awoke in a prison cell, with the two droids gone." What is this "mysterious force"? It needs to be clarified, you're writing in an encyclopedic manner.
• Per policy, the CSWE template should not be used in Sources. UberSoldat93 (talk) 08:56, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Should all be addressed. —Unsigned comment by IFYLOFD (talk • contribs)
• I would like you to reword certain bits of the article that have rather florid language, such as "While Solo was disappointed at the lack of gold and gems, it was an archaeologist's dream find...." Stuff like this doesn't fit the encyclopedic tone that we're going for. UberSoldat93 (talk) 17:26, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Listen, I understand what you're going for here, but I have to push back here. I don't think there's anything wrong with wording like that. I'm describing what it was and how it was described in the source material. We have different writing styles, but that doesn't make mine wrong, and I'm not going to rewrite the entire article because you have a different view of what an "encyclopedic" writing style is. I hate to pull this card, but I think I've been around, writing status articles, long enough to know what is and what isn't proper tone. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 14:44, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
    • I never said your writing style is flat out "wrong," just that, from my point of view, the wording doesn't satisfy a neutral point of view. If you still feel strongly about your point though, I'll drop the objection. UberSoldat93 (talk) 14:54, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
      • I have to be honest, I really do feel very strongly about it. Again, I'm not editorializing here—I'm presenting these events the way they're described in the source material. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 04:28, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
• Does The New Essential Chronology not support everything that The Essential Chronology does?
  • I'm not sure what you're asking. There's no real differences. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 02:50, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Then please cite the former book in place of the latter. Current precedent is to cite the latest edition of a book since it is presumably the most accessible version. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:25, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
      • Actually, check that—the references to the Dellalt Project and his offspring aren't present in New Essential Chronology. Therefore, we should keep it the same. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 03:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
• They are also in-universe documents to my knowledge, so the mentions of Skynx in them should be documented here. UberSoldat93 (talk) 05:20, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Mentioned. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 03:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Would like to see more elaboration, like this. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:25, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
      • Doing some research on this, stand by. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
        • You're good, Voren is in fact not the author so I've removed that bit. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:26, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Manoof

• The quote for subsequent career mentions z'gag, can you work that in the article somewhere? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:21, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
  • Done.
• Is it worth having an equipment section (albeit a short one) describing his collection/artefacts/datatapes etc and maybe the coat he had pictured? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 11:21, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
  • To be honest, I don't really think there's enough there. If you feel strongly about it though, I can put something small together. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 01:03, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Something small will suffice :) Please and thank you Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 09:56, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
      • Still not a fan of it, but it's there. IFYLOFD ^(Talk) 02:49, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
