The infobox lists the Great Jedi Purge as concurrent, but in the body, the purge is mentioned in the prelude as having already happened. That feels like a discrepancy that can be smoothed out.- I sort of disagree. The Purge is an event that takes place over well, years technically, but the initial was certainly at least a window of time. And the arrests also all did not happen on one day. The HNN quote directly calls out that arresting senators is a strike against the "Jedi rebellion" as if its still a thing thats happening and not past tense; hence it being cited to Rebel Files. At the same, it's just as accurate that Palpatine makes the reference he does in his speech (referring to some of the initial Purge, but not necessarily all of it). Putting it in prev though would imply the Purge had ended, though, and it hadn't; and similarly, giving undue context to the particulars of the Purge's stages and sub-events through its end to explain that feels out of scope.—spookywillowwtalk 20:26, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Should the Delegation of 2,000 be listed in the infobox under "Affiliations involved'?- In the Prelude, would Outer Rim Sieges make sense to link where you mention the "final stages" of the war?
- In The arrests, I have a suggestion about re-working the sentence about who was arrested - "Those arrested were prominent signatories of the petition, including several senators from prominent Core Worlds and many alien senators from the Outer Rim Territories." I feel as though it is smoother this way and is clearer about conveying that every arrest was a petition signer, as opposed to mentioning that fact alongside the Core and Outer Rim details, which only apply to some of the senators.
- For the "small closet or decommissioned toilet stall" bit, I think it would be good to describe it in the way that, it was just that Mon felt it was something along those lines, as opposed to presenting it as it was definitely one of those two options.
In Aftermath, Marroi's "getaway" is a redlink - Lud Marroi's home- Sorted above.—spookywillowwtalk 20:26, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
Same section, it's important to state that it was the Delegation's first meeting after the fall of the Republic and after the beginning of the Imperial Era specifically, not the first meeting overall. Also think it'd be good to mention that the "leadership" refers to a group of 13 senators total (Mon says she entered the living room to see 12 others waiting for her).- More on the above, mentioning the leadership included those from the Anti-militarist faction and the Institutionalists could be a good detail as well
- Also in this section, I would advocate for noting that their "next steps" included the Imperial Rebirth Act
In Continued Imperial activity, I feel the context of Mon going to join the Alliance would be good to include- Added briefly on each; but I do think there's such a thing as Aftermath bloat when it starts to stray into things not immediate or direct results of the event itself. The ratio here is already pretty lopsided and would generally oppose adding more unless its offset by cutting something else.—spookywillowwtalk 20:26, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- A fair point, it could definitely spiral pretty quickly with excessive detail that can just be handled on other pages. With that in mind, the only things I'd really advocate for keeping in terms of the above listed suggested additions would be the Rebirth Act and Mon leading the Alliance. Feel free to trim some of the other things out if you'd prefer it that way. Wok142 (talk) 06:45, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- Think I'm fine with it as it is;; did slip in most of what was asked for above, moreso noted about bloat to say it probably shouldn't have more than, if that makes sense.—spookywillowwtalk 02:46, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

In Legacy, not sure if there is a precise date or maybe a range for Leia reading Bail's writings, but at the very least, New Republic Era can be dated in some way.Wok142 (talk) 06:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)- Its not dateable, but I disagree with dating the entire NR era as a range. There's enough precedent for when something is only set in an era to not do so when it's such a wide range and not immediately relevant to the topic.—spookywillowwtalk 20:26, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
19 BBY date can be incorporated into the intro- In Crackdown, second to last sentence, "prominent" is used twice in the same sentence. One instance could be replaced with something like "notable"
Same section, do Drake and Cadaman need to be mentioned twice? I would advocate for either removing the second mention or, if you would rather keep it in, moving the context of their represented planet etc to be in the first mention of them and leave just their last names in the second mention that is part of the list.Wok142 (talk) 22:12, 4 June 2025 (UTC)- Sorted above.—spookywillowwtalk 19:07, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
