    • What do you mean by "could naturally segregate a biochemical spray"?
      • Oopz. Changed.
    • If they always have a white stripe on their face then why doesn't the one in the infobox have one? That at least this one didn't have one should be mentioned somewhere.
      • Added to BtS; he might use a dye or he might belong to a specific group or anything, but OS does not tell.
        • Forgot to save it perhaps? I don't see anything new. Nayayen—TALK 09:37, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
    • "Although the ZeHethbras did recognize no less than eighty individual groups in times of the Empire, other species could only see up to six different ZeHethbra groups." I don't get the second part of this sentence, were they rare or difficult to distinguish? Please clarify.
      • 2nd option. Added.
    • Good work otherwise, Skippy. Nayayen—TALK 22:30, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Prepare to be savaged...
    • "he was approached by Grand Admiral Thrawn, who wanted to ensure that Clyngunn would keep his apolitical stance." Whose stance, Thrawn's or Clyngunn's? If the latter, what was this stance? ~ SavageBob 03:50, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
      • Changed.
    • Is there any indication of interactions between ZeHethbra and Gran, who also colonized the Malastare system?
      • None.
    • Is there any discrepancy between sources as to the plural of ZeHethbra? I seem to remember the WEG books using the same word for both singular and plural, though I could be misremembering. Either way, be careful, because the article currently uses both forms.
      • In fact, no source says "ZeHethbras". That form has been removed from the article.
    • That's it! Good work. ~ SavageBob 03:50, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
    • I noticed a bit more during my copy edit:
      • Can we get a link and an article for the ZeHethbara–Dug war?
      • What do you mean by "a vernacular language"? Is there an official language as well?
      • The "Biology and appearance" section says that they have vestigial tails, fangs, etc. Can you add something about this to "History," since this means that these parts were once more developed in their evolutionary past?
      • I'm not sure the contrast between ZeHethbra becoming Jedi and ZeHethbra taking military jobs is OK; the Jedi were quite military in the Clone Wars, for example. Can this be rephrased?
        • Reworded, trying to not establish a direct relation or contrast between two possible jobs. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:17, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
      • Can you add something to History about the ZeHethbra's neutrality during the Galactic Civil War? That is all. I zhall be happy to zupport zoon, a azzure you. ~ SavageBob 16:53, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
  3. Do we know that is an image of Raije? --Eyrezer 04:26, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
    • I know he is, and I am telling you, so now we both know it. The image is uncaptioned but it appeared next to the text describing Raije; and there's another picture of "mystery skunk-like furry" holding Raije's characteristic Wookiee bowcaster and hunting a character that, following the text, is Raije's prey. Skippy Farlstendoiro 17:06, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
      • Sorry to butt in, but Is this image reprinted from No Disintegrations? The image info page says it's from Alien Encounters, which only depicts "generic" members of the species as far as I know, but then the Raije page says he only appears in No Disintegrations. ~ SavageBob 15:16, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
        • Hey, in fact he isn't. I was wrong, Bob was right, Raije was burlier. Changed. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 06:10, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
    • Can you add something about their whiskers, number of fingers, and ears? Possibly their clothes and earrings, too. Other than that, very clean. --Eyrezer 12:42, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Tommy:
    • The quote attribution for the History section needs to better reflect its relevance to the ZeHethbra. For someone unfamiliar with this individual, the quote makes absolutely no sense.
    • "the conflict with the ZeHethbra has one contributing factor precipitating this sanction." Did you mean was? If not, please clarify, because I'm having difficulty making sense of this statement.
    • See if you can obtain a better scan of this.
      • Cannot for the next months probably. If you really dislike the image, tell me and I'll remove it. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 14:14, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
        • No worries. I'm not one to hold up a quality article for the images alone. Just make sure you exercise all options to get it fixed in the meanwhile. I'm sure it can/will be by the time it makes it on the main page.—Tommy 9281 20:47, May 12, 2010 (UTC)
    • That's all. I got rid of the links in the quotes (1) because it's frowned upon, and (2) because the things they linked to had no real relevance to the article. Feel free to reverse that decision if you deem it to be necessary.—Tommy 9281 21:43, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
      • Let's leave it like that; I did otherwise simply to avoid underlinking. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 14:14, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

  • It might be a good idea to swap a couple of images around so that the taller, thin images go with the longer sections and the short, squat images go with the shorter ones. Currently, the image of Raije is breaking into the next section below it. I'll review this soon! :) ~ SavageBob 03:11, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
    • Yes, but still with image saying something about the text, I hope. Swapped a little. Better? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:26, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
