  • There's a double "realized" in the intro; can you vary up the wording?
  • Galactic Basic Standard is exclusive to the infobox.
  • I'm seeing a lot of double linking. Can you go through the article and remove it? I know it's a sofixit, but it's a specific kind of proofreading that I think is important to practice. Menkooroo (talk) 13:57, October 24, 2013 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the review. Everything should be addressed! ~SavageBOB sig 14:13, November 11, 2013 (UTC)
  • A few more: Two consecutive sentences in the intro begin with "however." I demand variation!
  • I'll give you the same linking tip I gave others: If it's mentioned twice that Artoo is an astromech, you can pipelink R2-series astromech droid the first time and link astromech droid the second. Same goes for Threeps usually but you only mention protocol droid once here.
  • "during which times some left their families behind,[15] and others brought them along" --- the use of "others" doesn't seem right, since you're talking about the same guy in both cases. Maybe reword it so that it's talking about other times rather than other people.
  • There's got to be a quote for "History." Something about the peace mission, maybe.
  • And for the BTS, from Abel's line about them probably being called Majooran. Menkooroo (talk) 02:02, November 18, 2013 (UTC)
    • Ah, gotcha on all these. Take a look. I didn't add Abel's comment as a quote for BTS, though, because, well, the comment seems to have disappeared. I noticed that a lot of the official SW blog entries seem to have had comments wiped clean, which is pretty troubling unless it's a random fluke that will be fixed. I tried Archive.org, but the "Viva Space Vegas" article isn't archived there. If this is something permanent, we may need to have a SH or CT to see what to do about articles we may have drawing from comments that are no longer available… ~SavageBOB sig 13:29, November 19, 2013 (UTC)
      • Apparently the comments have been wiped clean and replaced with some kind of facebook plugin. Also, I won't object over it, but could the History quote be more directly relevant to the Majoorans and/or the peace mission? The current one almost seems more about the Dyclops. Menkooroo (talk) 01:42, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
        • Unfortunately, the best peace mission quote is the one used at the top of the article. The rest of them are just things like, "There's the convoy!" and "I'm leaving for the convoy, now, son!" I did my best! I'll check to see if the old comments are available somehow through Facebook, though I doubt it… ~SavageBOB sig 12:32, November 20, 2013 (UTC)
