BAX-7 landspeeder

I'd suggest mentioning the rough date the Bounty Hunter Wars ended in the body, not just in the reference, to give the reader a better idea of the time period. grunny@wookieepedia:~$ 14:08, May 3, 2015 (UTC)
- Alright, added. Manoof (talk) 05:17, May 4, 2015 (UTC)

~~The minimum crew of 1 in the infobox is redundant if the crew size is only 1 initially.~~
- Regardless of your response below, I've removed this. Manoof (talk) 11:15, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
Wait, are you basing the 3 passengers and 1 pilot off the 4 seats in the image? If so, I don't think we can say that there was just 1 pilot, as it could have easily (though it is unlikely) taken two to pilot it. It's better to just say that four people could fit in the speeder, with 2 seats in the front and 2 in the back. 501st dogma^(talk) 01:37, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
- Crew/passenger capacity is indeed based on the image. The front of the speeder looks very similar to that of a regular modern car, with driving/piloting controls on one side and a simple continuation of the dash across to the front passenger, which is clear to see when looking at the full image. I am however willing, if uncomfortably, to concede this second point if you feel strongly about it. Manoof (talk) 11:15, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
  - Eh, I guess it does look like that. 501st dogma^(talk) 18:47, May 16, 2015 (UTC)

~~Preliminary objection: You have the same issue with the 0 ABY date as you did with your other article. If you have an issue with one of your articles, fix it in all of them.~~--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 01:16, May 19, 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, I'll try to jump on those things in future. I also tried to expand the intro (per your other objection) but can't come up with anything, since the non-BTS stuff is so sparce. Manoof (talk) 04:41, May 19, 2015 (UTC)
I do not think it can be definitely stated that the speeder had a crew of one. There's the possibility that it could have some sort of equipment/weaponry that a co-pilot/gunner would operate. Just mention that one seat had piloting controls in front of it and say that it required a crew of at least one. The controls should be mentioned in the body as well.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 19:35, June 6, 2015 (UTC)
- Done Manoof (talk) 09:16, June 8, 2015 (UTC)

~~I'm going to leave the same objection for the Dengar reference note as I did for 88-R Nightscreamer. Please see that nomination.~~ Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:26, June 11, 2015 (UTC)
- Please check that article's reference, and I'll use a similar reference for this article. Manoof (talk) 11:37, June 17, 2015 (UTC)
  - Yes, you should make the same change for this article as you did for 88-R. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 15:07, June 23, 2015 (UTC)
    - Done Manoof (talk) 02:46, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
      - You copy-and-paste failed. Please pay closer attention to detail. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:05, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
~~In the Characteristics, does the book actually say that MandalMotors is based on Mandalore?~~
- No, I've added a reference to Sacrifice, which mentioned their headquarters in Keldabe. I also clarified the company was headquartered on Mandalore, which added a few words taking care of the next objection. Manoof (talk) 23:22, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
~~After my review, I have a word count of 248. You're welcome to try and get it to 250, but I'm not keen on adding unnecessary wordiness, some of which I removed in my review.~~ Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:05, June 25, 2015 (UTC)
