  • There's room for a relevant image in the siege section Lewisr (talk) 21:47, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Looking at other status pages that mention the encyclopedia's, not seeing a need to mention where the magazines were first published Lewisr (talk) 21:47, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
  • I think the Mission to Onderon listing needs a note to indicate how it's next as it being after the siege is not citable to "Aftermath" itself Lewisr (talk) 23:37, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
  • The TCW S7 poster fits in the BTS at size 190px, so I think that'd be worth including noting it marked the first mention of the siege Lewisr (talk) 05:02, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

  • So I know this is/has been a whole can of worms but do you feel like it would be good to have Onderonian Civil War listed in the Previous infobox field? Wok142 (talk) 18:53, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Meeting you halfway by putting the event that ends closer to the siege :P Editoronthewiki (talk) 21:52, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
      • It's a deal :) Wok142 (talk) 18:55, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Noticing the first introduction of Rash's pronouns "executed for his failure..." doesn't seem to be present, at least from a read-through/CTRL+F of the transcript. This did pass awhile back before we started doing this properly, but the rest of the article's first introductions of characters' pronouns should be checked if they can be sourced to the places they're pointing to, in addition to (unless I'd missed it somehow) citing Rash's.—spookywillowwtalk 22:08, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
  • Curious if you might make a sweep through for ref condensing; offhand, noticing that ref 7 (Galactic Atlas) for the CW starting can be folded into the already-existing Timelines ref; stuff like that (unsure if there are more, but I'd gander there's at least 1-2 others). Generally wasn't something looked at quite closely until a few years ago, but nevertheless is something done nowadays (and a general note about condensing where reasonable is in policy, so, does have some backing).—spookywillowwtalk 04:56, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Galactic Atlas removed, but everything else cited is for a specific reason, such as that source being what outright says something. Editoronthewiki (talk) 18:31, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
      • I mean, for most of the ones related to the Onderon-or-Onderon-character content; agreed. But to briefly counter, this also applies to successive refs that don't really seem needed. The first sentence of the prelude starts "When the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems began in 22 BBY," but uses 2 refs for that; surely the entire thing is in Timelines (that the two factions started in that year)? The ROTS refs also point to pretty generic content that is almost assuredly found in one of the quite chunky ref books used as references elsewhere.—spookywillowwtalk 22:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
        • The When the Clone Wars started is actually cited to encyclopedia because that source notes how Dendup's decision and Rash's coup occurred at the start of the war, with only the fact that the war started in 22 bby being cited to timelines Editoronthewiki (talk) 16:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
        • Revenge of the Sith citations removed Editoronthewiki (talk) 16:19, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Thrawn
  • Does the episode support that the battle was "Towards the end of the Clone Wars"? That seems like an odd bit of information for the episode itself to provide. ThrawnChiss7 Mitth symbol Assembly Cupola 19:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
    • Probably could have just cited to Timelines but gave it a note Editoronthewiki (talk) 20:05, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
Comet
  • The intro says Saw led the rebels during the battle, but the body just says he fought in it. Also, if he was leading them, then I think he could be added to the commanders field in the infobox CometSmudge (talk) 19:06, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
    • Edited intro to say Saw was a leader from the civil war. I'm sure Saw was their leader but nothing has outright said that Editoronthewiki (talk) 19:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
