~~You have three consecutive one-paragraph sections, I'd suggest merging at least two of them (probably the latter two make the most sense).~~
- Merged sections. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 15:25, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
~~Any chance you can avoid the passive voice here? "Poof was regarded as a noble thinker among the Jedi High Council"~~ JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 01:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 15:37, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
~~Apologies for the delay, just two little things (and you can tag me on Discord when they're done if you'd like): can we get some context and release dates on the Mace Windu comic issues?~~
- Added. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
  - Issue #1 as well. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 06:52, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure if saying {{C|Anachronistic appearance}} sufficiently tells the reader that Poof's appearance in that comic was an error - what do you think about using {{Nc}}, like has been done for retconned subjects? JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 17:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
- Swapped to that. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 05:43, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Star Wars Jedi Master Magazine 1 provides the following mention of Poof: "Master Yarael Poof is a Quermian and is able to summon illusions. He is recognizable by his long neck and four arms." I don't think you mention his long neck in the article, and the phrasing of "recognizable" can be added. ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 21:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)

~~Article should mention that Poof is featured in Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. ThrawnChiss7 ^{Assembly Cupola} 17:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)~~
- Added. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 16:18, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

~~Can we get a source that does refer to Yarael as a male cited please, discovered while trying to verify on Quermia that none of USW/USWNE/the databank refer to him as a male~~ Lewisr (talk) 15:47, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Looking through every source I know of, I did not find anything specifying Poof as male, so I've removed it for now. I'll keep an eye out for any specification of gender elsewhere, though. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 00:21, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

~~A Jedi Tale needs to be listed in the appearances. NBDani (they/them)^{Yeager's Repairs} 01:00, 16 September 2023 (UTC)~~

He can be number 1 on the FAN, and number 3 on Character of the year! Supreme Emperor ^Holocomm 00:23, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
Per a recent announcement in the past hour or so, Yarael will be appearing within the upcoming The Living Force out next April Lewisr (talk) 18:06, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

with Phase III of The High Republic about to start this week (and an upcoming novel early next year), the page is about to hit instability territory. With this we have decided to bring down the nomination for now, and once a sizeable period of time passes without a Poof appearance, then the page is welcome to be brought back. Have informed Thannus of this decision, so thanks to Thannus and the hard work done on the page Lewisr (talk) 20:26, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
