  • This is a bit nitpicky, but the BTS section should include info from The Truce at Bakura, as it begins "the day after the Emperor's death." Cwedin(talk) 15:21, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
  • Actually no, Truce is Legends, this is Canon. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 15:24, October 23, 2015 (UTC)
    • Indeed. While there are times when including info from Legends is relevant in canon page BTS sections, this seems more like trivia than actual relevant information. It would be more fitting for the Shattered Empire page. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 15:27, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

  • There should probably be a link to the Death Star's shield generator in the prelude; currently there's only a link a generic shield generator. Also, "Journey to" in the behind the scenes should not be italicized (it should read: "Journey to Star Wars: The Force Awakens"). The spoiler tag at the top of the page can be removed as well; over a month has passed since the comic's release. Cevan (talk) 21:18, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
    • Fixed. In the future, these types of objections are ones you can just fix yourself. Simple enough to do! - Brandon Rhea(talk) 03:06, October 30, 2015 (UTC)

  • There's some funny infobox issues going on here - the commander field spans both columns, as does the casualty field. It appears the blank fields are being overwritten. Also, the bulletpoints are not aligning properly in the Alliance strength column. - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 00:03, January 9, 2016 (UTC)
    • You'll have to talk to Cade about that. It was part of the updates he and CzechOut worked on for portability conversion. It's not something I can rectify as part of a nomination process. The most I could do is add clarifying context like "(Rebels)" after Han Solo, for instance. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 00:15, January 9, 2016 (UTC)
      • If that's the case, then the infobox issue needs to be brought to his attention for rectification - the nomination realistically cannot pass with a wonky infobox. - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 22:12, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
        • It has been - multiple times. The ball is in his court and the administration's court. I would like it resolved sooner rather than later too, especially if it's going to hold up my nominations for reasons completely outside of my control. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 22:23, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
          • I have a temporary solution for this issue that should remedy your objection. See here. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 19:20, February 1, 2016 (UTC)
            • Cade fixed the infobox issues so this objection can be resolved. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 17:06, February 6, 2016 (UTC)

  • Ewoks are mentioned as combatants in the infobox, but there's nothing about them participating in the actual assault in the body.
  • The Strength section of the rebels seems unnecessarily complicated. As its commanding officer, Solo is still part of the Pathfinders, and Chewbacca is implied to be a member of it as well, not separate (as the infobox presents it). You could probably have Pathfinders as the top-level bullet and then sub-level bullets for named participants.
    • Fair. Since Han was never explicitly labeled as a Pathfinder, I didn't want to add it but yeah. Makes sense in retrospect. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 22:36, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • In the intro, a battalion of Imperials is mentioned. In the body, a quote refers to a company. However, there is no mention of either these in the prose. Please clarify.
  • As a general note, linking was somewhat lacking. Please be more careful in the future. 1358 (Talk) 14:54, January 24, 2016 (UTC)
  • "The group emerged victorious and brought with them Imperial intelligence stating that the Empire still had plans after the Battle of Endor. Contrary to what the Rebellion had hoped, and although the Empire was in chaos following their shattering defeat on Endor, the intelligence meant that the Galactic Civil War was not yet over." I feel like the intro focuses quite a lot on the aftermath. I think you should dedicate a sentence to the fighting itself and then discuss the acquired intel in a final sentence instead of spreading it out over two sentences.
  • Considering virtually nobody referred to Sidious with his Darth name during the time of the GCW, I think it would be appropriate to use another name for him, such as simply the Emperor.
    • Done, but with the caveat that while people may not have referred to Sidious with his Darth name, Darth Sidious is his name. Emperor Palpatine, Sheev Palpatine, Palpatine—those may be his birth names/public names, but they're simply public fronts while Darth Sidious is his true name in canon. So whether people refer to him that way in-universe or not, it's still appropriate for use in GCW era articles. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 17:05, February 6, 2016 (UTC)
      • Fair enough; my objection might've been a bit unclear. Seeing as "the Emperor" was mentioned later in the prelude, simply "Darth Sidious" seemed to lack a bit of context on the guy. I would've been fine with "and kill Emperor Darth Sidious". 1358 (Talk) 10:41, February 10, 2016 (UTC)
  • Is there an article for the type of vessel used as transport? If yes, can it be linked? If no, does it warrant an article?
    • Pretty sure this was a new type of transport and it's only been used in this one issue. I don't know whether that warrants an article or not. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 17:05, February 6, 2016 (UTC)
  • "They remained in the base for some time" Why? I think you could mention the intel gathering here instead of waiting with that until the next paragraph.
  • Can a quote be added in The aftermath? Maybe Solo's line about the war not being over yet. 1358 (Talk) 00:37, January 30, 2016 (UTC)
  • Finally, some notes on the categorization: Battle articles should be sorted by the unique identifier (Imperial outpost), not by the battle/assault/whatever.
  • Surely there's at least another applicable category for this. There exists a number of categories for the astrographical location of the clash; see if you can find a good one for this article.
    • Such as? There's nothing for Endor or its sector, and battles of the Outer Rim seems like an unnecessary category for this article. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 15:21, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
  • And that's it. 1358 (Talk) 11:41, February 12, 2016 (UTC)
SE
  • Can you give some clarification regarding when the assault took place? Infobox says 4 years after Yavin, so even a small mention of that would do. Supreme Emperor (talk) 04:59, February 9, 2016 (UTC)
