Exiled Jedi

• Shouldn't the part about it being a cruiser-carrier be covered in a "Role" section?
  • Um, what do you mean by a Role section? A separate one like the Description? If that's what your suggesting, I think it'd be rather small: "Thurse served as a cruiser carrier..." I can add it if you want though.
• Should Thurse be unitalicized in the history quote?
  • My bad, fixed.
• Is the double citation really necessary in the history section for the 25 ABY date?
  • Well, 2 is required to state that the ship was in existence at that time, while 3 is needed for the exact date.
• Please break up the first sentence of the second paragraph in the history section.
  • Better?
• I wish there was some way to get rid of that space at the start of the intro quote, but I do see why it is there.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 16:10, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
  • Yep, its ugly, but it's better than the whole quote getting bolded. :P Thanks for the review. 501st dogma^(talk) 16:25, August 9, 2014 (UTC)
• Is there any information on how the troops got on board the liner?
  • Nope. A dozen troopers burn through a door while Han and the others are on the liner, and since the Thurse is the only New Republic ship in the area, I'm assuming they came from there. As to how they got there, the book doesn't say.
• I find the last paragraph of the history section rather confusing. Could you make it clearer what is happening?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 20:19, August 12, 2014 (UTC)
  • That better? It's hard to make Solo's antics understandable without a boatload of unnecessary context... 501st dogma^(talk) 23:45, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
    • I figured it was something like that...--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 22:56, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

Toprawa

• Is it perhaps possible to include subsectioning in the History section? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 06:56, October 8, 2014 (UTC)
  • I can, but the sub sectioning would happen just after the first paragraph, which isn't quite in the center of the text. Will that work? 501st dogma^(talk) 11:58, October 8, 2014 (UTC)
• Certainly the infobox field can specify "Equipped" in the Engines field, which should also be mentioned in the Description.
• I hate to do it, but Peace Brigade needs some kind of brief context upon its first mention in the History. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:39, October 9, 2014 (UTC)
  • Both done, and thanks for the review. 501st dogma^(talk) 12:50, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Green Tentacle

• "…after he retrieved two important individuals…" We can't always do it, but where possible try to make hyperlinks make sense out of context. I'll leave the wording up to you, but something along the lines of "…after he retrieved two important individuals—the Jedi Knight Vergere and Yuuzhan Vong defector Elan—…" would be better. Green Tentacle ^(Talk) 12:24, November 15, 2014 (UTC)
  • That should do it - thanks for the review. 501st dogma^(talk) 15:30, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Floyd

• The Description and Covering Han Solo sections don't have quotes, is there anything that could go in there? IFYLOFD ^{(Enter the Floydome)} 23:39, November 28, 2014 (UTC)
  • Managed to find one for the Han part, but there's none really applicable for the description. Thanks for looking it over. 501st dogma^(talk) 16:16, November 29, 2014 (UTC)

Jorrel

• I'm not sure about using the Flurry as the Quasar Fire-class example image, since the ship depicted in the image is explicitly the Flurry. If there wasn't an alternative, I don't think it'd be as big an issue, but File:QuasarFireCarrier-SWR.png exists. I feel like it's akin to using the Millennium Falcon for the example image on a YT-1300 freighter article without a picture, such as Clean Sweep, instead of one of the stock YT-1300 images. Thoughts? ^Jorrel_Fraajic 07:12, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
  • The Flurry it seems had some modifications, but those were purely to make it a cruiser-carrier, like the Thurse. Because of this, we can probably still use the image; I personally chose it because it looks better than the other image. 501st dogma^(talk) 15:19, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
