  • I notice that you have dated Political Platforms to 31 BBY, per the Living Force Campaign Guide's date for the setting of the LF campaign. Admittedly, sources from the Living Force campaign are often irritatingly difficult to find concrete dates for, as is the case here, but as Political Platforms was published in 2004 (during the Clone Wars era of the campaign) and is intended as a tie in to Lockdown on Soboll, which takes place during the Clone Wars, it is more likely to be set in circa 21 BBY. If you want to see how to reference that, then take a look at how I have sourced the date when writing LFC status articles. Also, great work, I love these guys! --Jinzler (talk) 11:53, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
    • Oh, OK, I had no idea. Thanks for the note (and the kind words)! I've modified the date and the reference, so please have another look. Fortunately, it didn't necessitate rejuggling the order in which I present the various Sakiyans in that section. ~SavageBOB sig 13:37, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Eyrezer
  • "Clans were organized into serpentine family–political units." What does serpentine mean in this context? --Eyrezer (talk) 02:51, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • I was just looking for a more interesting synonym for the OS's "complex." I've changed it to convoluted instead. ~SavageBOB sig 14:51, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
  • Some minor stuff. First, I think the "Biology and appearance" quote caption needs to have the speakers ordered to correspond to their dialogue—Naxy is the first listed speaker in the caption, but the first speaker is actually Cade, which makes it a bit confusing. Perhaps something like "Cade Skywalker learns from Naxy Screeger about the latter's natural keen senses."
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Moralo Eval was ever stated to be a crime lord; just a major criminal.
  • Just about anything to do with TCW chronology is guesswork these days, but currently all of the TCW episodes in which Sakiyans appear are dated to c. 21 BBY, per the current timeline. I believe this affects their listing in the Appearances section to a minor degree.
  • Some of the article is a bit inconsistent with how the unnamed Sakiyans are linked; for example, both "a Sakiyan" and a Sakiyan" are being used. Please try to make them consistent.
  • "Freeman immediately offered a three-credit bounty": just wanted to make sure, is three credits correct? Seems awfully small for a bounty.
    • Wanted to double-check this before I vote. Is three credits correct? CC7567 (talk) 07:46, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
      • Yes, it is. I tried to clarify in one of my recent edits to the article that the 3-credit bounty was only offered so Boba Fett would have an excuse to kill the crime lord. Without delving too deep into the comic's plot, does it make better sense now? ~SavageBOB sig 14:46, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • Something I've been noticing lately: please make sure that the {{HasbroCite}} template is being used correctly. The "text" field needs to be used for something with disambiguation information like "Star Wars Saga (toy line)," so that only "Star Wars Saga" is displayed.
  • I believe there are some more TCW sources that mention the species in relation to Sixtat, namely SWInsider "Rogues Gallery: Who's Who: The Bounty Hunters!" — Star Wars Insider 132, Star Wars: The Clone Wars Comic UK 6.32, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars Magazine 12. Comic UK 6.38, which is already listed, doesn't mention the species by name, per se; only Sixtat is mentioned. Also, there are a lot more StarWars.com articles that also picture Sixtat ({{Po}}), namely "The Box" guide and all those Encyclopedia entries; they should all be in Bulduga's article. CC7567 (talk) 21:43, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks for taking a look! As for the quote, the first speaker actually is Screeger, so that should be OK. I've fixed your next few concerns (I think). I'll get to the last one soon when I get access to my library again. ~SavageBOB sig 15:18, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
      • All right! I've had a moment to check most of these sources, and I've updated the article accordingly. I don't have access to Clone Wars UK 6.32 or Clone Wars US 12. Do you have 6.32? Is there any pertinent info, or is it just a "pictured only" source? And is Clone Wars US 12's article simply a reprint of the poster from Clone Wars UK 6.38? Finally, not all of those encyclopedia articles from Bulduga's article include the full list of bounty hunters in the "related" section as of right now. I wonder if they were there at one point, but then scaled back? Namely, Cad Bane, Dooku, Embo, and Rako Hardeen don't seem to include the full list of hunters as related anymore. ~SavageBOB sig 14:26, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
        • Clone Wars Comic UK 6.32 reprints the same info from Rogues Gallery in Insider 132; no new info. Clone Wars Magazine 12 is a reprint of the exact same article from the Comic UK 6.32. That's fine regarding the Encyclopedia entries; I didn't realize some of them had been removed. One more thing regarding one of the above objections: the body text of the article orders The Clone Wars episodes fine within the rest of the chronology, but they still need to be moved to their proper place in the Appearances section, namely before MedStar, as all of them take place in c. 21 BBY more or less. CC7567 (talk) 06:53, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
          • Gah, I thought I'd already fixed the episode ordering. Should be OK now. That should do it for the random articles you mention, too. But one last thing: before I kill the redlink for "The Usual Suspects," can you confirm for me that that is the correct title for the article as it appears in both Star Wars: The Clone Wars Comic UK 6.32 and Star Wars: The Clone Wars Magazine 12? ~SavageBOB sig 14:01, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
            • It's called "The Unusual Suspects" in both publications. CC7567 (talk) 21:35, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
              • Awesome, thanks for checking. I've stubbed the article, so that kills the redlinks. That should be everything. Since the article seems to be a direct reprint, though, I wonder if the Clone Wars Magazine version should be included in the list, since we normally don't include reprints in source lists. Either way, thanks again for the review. ~SavageBOB sig 00:08, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

  • For future reference, the plural form of "ganglion" is "ganglia." Trak Nar Ramble on 08:55, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
    • D'oh! I knew that. Thanks for the catch. :) ~SavageBOB sig 15:34, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
