Object

Moffship

• Context needed on the FarStar in the intro.
  • Added.
• "At some point, he was cast out and shunned by his own family for an unspecified deed, although his intense addiction may have been the cause." - If this speculation does not come directly from the source, it needs to be removed.
  • Speculation is from the source: "Vegath Tist is an outcast Arcona, shunned by his own family for some unknown deed, but possibly due to his intense addiction to salt."
• You mentioned under "Sources" that The DarkStryder Campaign is his first appearance, yet you don't have an "Appearances" section. As I'm still not familiar with the campaign, I'm not sure if any of the books included under "Sources" are technically appearances.
  • You're right; technically all sources as mentions. Probably left over from the early days. Removed {{1st}} and {{Mo}} templates.
• Nice job. I enjoy reading your DarkStryder noms. Grand Moff Tranner ^(Comlink) 20:41, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
  • Thanks. I enjoy writing them :P - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 11:37, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Toprawa

• Preliminaries: Please utilize the DarkStryder campaign citation template in the Sources and references lists.
  • Resolved on IRC.
• Please correct reference 2 per site style.
  • Done.
• Please revise reference 4 to avoid the disambig, and please cite according to specific issue. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:17, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
  • Done. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 23:29, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
• Does the source refer to this as an "unspecified deed," or is it just unspecified because the source literally doesn't specify? I'm interpreting this as a potential "fate unknown" situation: "he was cast out and shunned by his own family for an unspecified deed"
  • See Tranner's second objection above - full quote for the source regarding the incident is presented.
• Part 2 of the previous objection, is this then speculation on your part, or official source speculation? "although his intense addiction may have been the cause."
  • As above.
• Article needs a 1st appearance tag. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:50, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
  • The character has not appeared in an actual IU narrative, so wouldn't the 1st appearance tag not be needed? 1st mention, which is used for sources, would be more appropriate, no? See Tranner's above objection regarding the tags. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 23:58, March 22, 2011 (UTC)
    • Bah. Yes, you're absolutely correct. I keep looking at that section as though they're Appearances. Nevermind. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:03, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Veruca

• Can you give an idea of the timeframe somewhere in "Early life?" Maybe change "At some point" to "At some point before 8 ABY?" S'all I got! Menkooroo 07:10, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
  • Changed as per suggestion. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 19:23, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

• Not enough for an objection, but see about working his skin color into the P&T, as it is currently infobox-exclusive.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, May 3, 2011, 01:10 UTC
