Clone fly-by
I don't think the last section of the Biography is particularly relevant to Slick as an individual, since it's a passing mention in dialogue by another character—purely as an acknowledgement of his actions and nothing more, so it doesn't directly affect him. It would be something akin to chronicling every time Anakin Skywalker gets mentioned by another character, and inserting all of those mentions into Skywalker's article as an acknowledgement of X talking about him on Y occasion, which would be rather extraneous. I think it'd be best to remove the paragraph.CC7567 (talk) 01:39, June 19, 2015 (UTC)- I'd like to keep it in some form, since it does show that Slick's actions—and the idea that a clone could betray the Republic—were known to other people and that it was relevant to other events. I definitely thought that the section got a bit long but I felt the need to contextualize it. Any ideas for trimming it, if you agree that it's still relevant as a legacy? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 01:45, June 19, 2015 (UTC)
- To be honest, I can't think of any rewording that would make it relevant enough to warrant staying in the article. That's not a criticism of your writing; it's just based on what we've seen in canon sources so far. I agree that the idea of a clone traitor was relevant to other in-universe events and must have had an impact on them, but at the same time, we (as viewers) haven't seen any kind of explicit impact from Slick's treason. All we have is Tano and Offee discussing Slick's actions on a single occasion, and that's not notable on its own. If a canon source were to depict a more palpable consequence of Slick's treason, like the creation of a program to verify each clone's loyalties, then that would be worth mentioning—but seeing as we haven't seen something like that yet, I don't think Tano and Offee's conversation merits inclusion in Slick's article.

- Fair enough. Removed. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 02:09, June 19, 2015 (UTC)

Jang
"Slick was the name of a clone trooper who served as a Clone Sergeant in the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars." Now from the Department of Redundancy Department of Redundancy JangFett (Talk) 13:52, July 4, 2015 (UTC)- I've removed the clone trooper part and went right to Clone Sergeant. Hopefully that's what you were referring to. Hard to tell when your objection is nothing but sarcasm. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 15:18, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
Cubert
The link to Slick's image gallery says it's to canon only images, but it contains one images that is not canon. Nivlacanator(talk) 23:26, July 4, 2015 (UTC)- There's nothing I can do about that until such time as the community decides to split image categories into Canon and Legends. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 23:35, July 4, 2015 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
There are a number of articles that need to be linked, some of which were created after the article's nomination. These include Christophsis Republic base, Barracks, Utility belt, and Officer. Please go through the article and check for these, as well as other subjects that might deserve articles but haven't received them yet.CC7567 (talk) 21:22, August 1, 2015 (UTC)- Added the ones you mentioned, plus a few more. Feel free to point out or add any others I may have missed. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 16:10, August 2, 2015 (UTC)
- Commanding officer also deserves to be linked; Jester refers to it as "CO" in the episode, and a number of Databank entries also mention it. CC7567 (talk) 05:12, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Added the link. Do you know what some of those Databank entries are? I'll need them to create the page, since I can't source the full term to the episode. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 23:33, August 3, 2015 (UTC)
- A Google search shows Clone Pilot Warthog in the Databank (backup link not verified! (clone-pilot-warthog)) and General Tarpals in the Databank (backup link), as well as Warthog in the Encyclopedia (original site is defunct) and General Tarpals in the Databank (backup link). CC7567 (talk) 08:37, August 4, 2015 (UTC)
- Forgot this objection was still active. I've created the commanding officer page. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 00:50, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Toprawa
Going on Oasis formatting, I think the article would benefit from inserting another subsection for the final two paragraphs of the Biography. This could be titled to reflect his apprehension and could have another quote added if available.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:59, January 27, 2016 (UTC)- Take a look now. How's that? - Brandon Rhea(talk) 02:21, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

- Have you checked Asajj and Rex's Databank entries? How about others? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:52, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
- Yes. Asajj's biography gallery isn't loading (there appears to be an issue with it on SW.com since I've tried on multiple devices). If there is a reference to Slick in there, then I'll add it once the gallery is working again. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 01:56, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
- If this FAN passes, will this be the first time the Legends and Canon counterparts of a subject are both quality articles? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 03:50, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
- I think so, which is pretty cool. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 03:51, June 18, 2015 (UTC)
