  • My copy-edit. One thing to watch out for is repetitive and redundant information. Another thing to keep in mind is that the full name of the article subject should be used in the BTS section.
    • Thanks so much! Just one thing, I deliberately didn't link to Hunting rifle as that seems to be a specific weapon rather than a type of weapon (like Blaster rifle). Thoughts? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
      • Are you referring to Hunting blaster/Legends? If sources indicate it's a specific weapon then yeah, by all means remove the link. OOM 224 19:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Missing page number for CSWECite.
    • Added Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
      • I'm sorry for interjecting, but per template usage: "In the rare case that the template is used in the Sources, no page numbers should be used." LucaRoR Sigil of House Serenno (Talk) 12:40, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
        • Aaaand reverted! Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 12:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
  • Since this is more or less a Return of the Jedi subject, I think it'd be helpful to mention the film in the BTS. OOM 224 21:31, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
    • I had a close look (even enlisted JMAS to see if he could get a clear shot when Lufba is in a dark corner) but the weapon never appears in the movie. I can only surmise that the weapon was used for promo shots (eg for the card) but can't see anything as to why the weapon wasn't in the movie, which frustrates my own curiosity lol. With all that, I'm not sure what you are after since it wasn't in the movie at all? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
      • Hmm, so it's not in Jedi, but the last two sentences indicate that the rifle was a prop for the Star Wars films, specifically Jedi. Maybe you could mention the film in the penultimate sentence, specifying that Lufba appeared in it. OOM 224 19:04, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

  • Please provide a physical description of the weapon under Description, like these. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 06:22, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
    • How's that? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 12:21, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
  • "wherever he went" is currently intro-exclusive.
    • Removed Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Per current precedent, no need to specify the exact location on the planet in the infobox.
    • Removed Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Please specify page number for CSWE in Ref 2.
    • Added Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Image in the body? I'm seeing 2 other images in the image category.
    • I felt like the other two are so similar so as to be redundant, which is why I went with a photo of Veekhoven. I figured one more image would be too squishy (would go for jabba's palace or something if you think there's room) Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
      • Anything that fits can be used. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 06:51, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
        • Added and fits much better than I expected :) Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 10:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Context for Return of the Jedi.
    • It is already noted that it's a star wars film? Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
      • But not its year or trilogy. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 06:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
        • Ah thanks for clarifying, added Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 10:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • I don't think "Czerka Arms 84-U" is meant to be taken as an alternate name, it's just the manufacturer and part of the weapon's name. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 04:02, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
    • I have that in the sources list only for that reason, and to make it clear for those looking for the reference to the weapon in those sources as I missed it in my initial check because it doesn't use the full name. Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 06:44, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Last thing: I would like the image cropped to focus on the weapon itself, as we do with other such subjects. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 04:18, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
    • Done, updated the other image to show Lufba instead of Jabba's Palace Manoof (he/him/his) (talk) 04:55, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
Hanzo
  • As CSWE states that Lufba was kidnapped several years before the Battle of Endor, that means the rifle fell into the pit specifically several years before 4 ABY, at least. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
