Oh no, you didn't
  • That intro's entrance, re-work it. You gotta be more smooth than that.
  • Also, still in the intro, you start referring to it as "war droid" yet nothing before really pointed to that. Just stay on with the "killer droid" unless you're going to clarify previously that 8-13 is a battle/war droid.
    • I tried to introduce that a bit more clearly. The text explicitly refers to it as a war droid. Page 88 if you have it. If you don't, it's a pretty good book. :) --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 15:34, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
    • I wasn't questioning if it really was a battle droid, only that you had to clarify it so before ;)
  • More to come. Winterz (talk) 03:45, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, now that intro has become too big. Most of those context parts should be trimmed down or cut and used only in the body. Winterz (talk) 15:42, April 19, 2015 (UTC)
  • Due to the rather bold statement that both sources were released simultaneously, you should state and explain that throughoutly in the Bts section ;) Winterz (talk) 16:24, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
    • Okay. I'm working on finding the exact publishing date of the audio drama to verify this, however. High Birdge's audio only lists the audio drama Collector's Trilogy, and not the individual releases. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 03:07, April 23, 2015 (UTC)
      • After emailing High Bridge, I got a list of published works from them, both in and out of print. Unfortunately, the list I was provided only contained a date for the Collector's Trilogy. I't s possible that I was provided a list of products released on CD, as opposed to anything released on a tape (As that's how the individual dramas were released). --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 20:14, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

  • Can you rephrase "8-13 was unable to properly battle the distinctly in-Human WeeGee" to make it clearer that he was unable to battle WeeGee as he was designed to battle humans, which weegee was not. Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • Could you specify Sulon was Sullust's moon in the bio. Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • The ref for the degree needs to be explained a bit. The droid guide doesn't explain that 8-13 is 4th degree (if it does it's ok), so you'll have to explain that source 1 specifies 8-13 is a battle droid, which source 2 classifies as 4th degree. Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • 4th degree seems to be infobo exclusive. Anything in the infobox needs to be in the article, so work that in somewhere (4th-degree battle droid or similar could work). Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • You say melee weapons. Do we know if he used a melee weapon (such as a sword) or just his hands? Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • 1st sentence of the bio - fighting FOR humans or just fighting humans? Or do you mean fighting BY humans? Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • You can merge the sentences "Outdated by this point, the droid had been programmed to fight Humans. During a melee attack, 8-13 would strike for a Human's vital organs.", something like "Outdated by this point, the droid had been programmed to fight humans and, when attacking in close quarters, would strike for the vital organs of the human adversary." Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • "It was unable to strike any of WeeGee's vital zones, however, as 8-13 attempted to grab at the nonexistent vitals of a Human due to its programming." needs to be rephrased. Perhaps something like "8-13's strukes were ineffective, as he was targeting the vital organs of a human, which weegee lacked". Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • If one category is a subcategory of another, you only include the subcategory. You can remove the droid category, as the battle droid category falls within this. Manoof (talk) 11:04, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
