  1. Two minor things. "…in the first known use of mines by the Separatists in the Clone Wars." — Presumably this means first known by the Republic, but as is it reads like it might be OR on the part of the article writer. I'd suggest rewording it to clarify first known by whom to remove that doubt. Also, I think the BtS could be beefed up a tad, stating his creator and illustrator etc. Lastly, personally I would recommend removing the "powers and abilities" as it doesn't contain any real new information and could be merged easily enough with the P&T, but that's up to you. Otherwise, superb article and an easy read. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
    • Fixed the wording about the usage of mines. Merged P&A with P&T. BtS added to. Graestan(Talk) 00:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  2. From the Chron-O-John of Green Tentacle:
    • I agree with Acky on BTS beefing and merging P&A into P&T.
      • Merged P&A with P&T. BtS added to. Graestan(Talk) 00:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
    • "Later, Nend attempted to make conversation with the female Falleen, Zule Xiss, only to be met with Tod's frustration over their situation; the Gand male Vaabesh helped Nend to understand Xiss's history and reasons for defensiveness." Lost me a little there. Should that Tod be a Xiss? Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:49, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Fixed. It was a typo; hard to keep all these damn people straight. Graestan(Talk) 00:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
  3. Toprawa's Soviet Hammer:
    • This could benefit from some more explanation. Specifically, I'm unclear as to why Kass Tod is frustrated and what exactly Xiss's history is to cause her defensiveness: "Later, Nend attempted to make conversation with the female Falleen Zule Xiss, only to be met with Kass Tod's frustration over their situation; the Gand male Vaabesh helped Nend to understand Xiss's history and reasons for defensiveness."
      • It was Xiss, not Tod (a typo, as pointed out by GT). Explained Xiss's issues. Graestan(Talk) 00:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
    • This descriptor of Cobalt Station should accompany the station's first mention in the article, if indeed it is one of two remaining Republic strongholds at that point in the article/battle. Either way, the station's description should be given initially: "one of two Republic strongholds left on Jabiim" Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:54, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Wasn't necessarily one of two places left until later; added what exactly it was to the first mention. Graestan(Talk) 00:10, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

  • So you've got a special project going too, eh? Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
