No spelling errors, no glaring grammar problems, no linking or redlink problems, referencing exceeds standards, and as silly as FOTJ is, this has kept up with it. Let's move this off Redux and fast-track its RFAN when its time comes. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 14:47, April 16, 2012 (UTC)- Per Culator. ... Four months later.

Sex
The updates look great. One small suggestion: I noticed that [[Sexes/Legends|Sexes]] isn't linked anywhere in the article. If we know that the species has both male and female sexes, I feel like something about that should be mentioned in Bio & Appearance. A tie-in note could be that the two sexes look very similar to members of other species; I think there are some cases of Han or Leia or Allana getting Sligh, Grees, and Emala mixed up.Menkooroo (talk) 01:46, August 22, 2012 (UTC)- Done! Thanks for the review. :) ~Savage

Since the Galactic Civil War began seventeen years after the Empire was founded, should not the part of the history section dealing with the Imperial garbage collection deals with Squibs and Ugors be rejiggered so that it's stated that "Early in the New Order, the Squibs found themselves elbowed out by their rivals as much of the galaxy came to rely upon Ugor waste disposal services" comes before "Ebareebaveebeedee largely kept the Squibs out of the Galactic Civil War…"?In the beginning, you italicize when saying Squibs were called the names like "Furball" or "Fuzzling," but later you use quotes for saying Mace was given a title as "Big Time Hero of Beyond-Squib Eliteness." Is the italicizing because it's referring to the species—a sub-bold, if you will—or should they be like Mace's title? Basically, is there a reason they're not quoted?Should there be an article for the Ugor religion? It seems like there's several bits of pertinent info, glancing at that species's article.NaruHina Talk 01:44, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Good points. I've reordered some stuff in "History" per your suggestion, so take a look. As for italicization vs. quoting, it's really a stylistic preference. In general, when discussing words as words, I follow most style guides that advocate italics in such cases. An example would be something like, "The word history has a long history." WIth the Mace Windu title, I could italicize, I suppose, but the sheer length of the title makes me think quotes may be preferred. It seems this is not a title given out to more than one individual; rather it was an ad hoc title given to one person in one instance, and thus not really a phrase being used as a phrase, as in the case of fuzzling and furball. Finally, since the Ugors are a theocracy, giving an article on their religion would strongly overlap with the article we already have on the Holy Ugor Taxation Collection Agency, so I'd say it's probably not necessary. Thanks for taking a look, and let me know what you think! ~Savage 02:37, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Comments
- Hey, folks. Here's the diff from the featured version to now: diff. For the most part, the changes have all been general updating for new appearances and sources. The more substantial stuff is in the following modes:
- Reloading and switching to the Species infobox, per all alien articles;
- Better linking;
- Use of citation templates where appropriate;
- Adding links to and stubbing pertinent articles (such as random Squibs mentioned in various sources);
- A bit of reshuffling of info such that social/cultural stuff is discussed in "Society and culture" rather than "Biology and appearance";
- Copy editing to remove demonstrative pronouns and adjectives, which we seem not to like anymore;
- Implementation of "gamemechanics" templates where appropriate;
- Indications of alternative scenarios from roleplaying material in the BTS;
- As such, hopefully it's evident that this has all been maintenance and updating, not deterioration of the article. It was the Ascension info update that made me think that a redux might be necessary, since that book added a substantial amount of knowledge about the species. ~Savage 16:45, September 13, 2011 (UTC)
- Note that the article now needs an update from Fate of the Jedi: Apocalypse. I'll try to get that done within the month. ~Savage 11:44, March 19, 2012 (UTC)
- Now updated for Apocalypse! Here's the diff from the featured version to now: diff. ~Savage 13:44, April 5, 2012 (UTC)
