• In military terminology, a "company" is a very specific unit. If you go to that article, you will see there there is typically a canonically established number of soldiers to a formal company. Calling this grouping of 85 Jumptroopers a "company" may be very misleading if the source does not refer to the group as one. I would suggest perhaps choosing a different word there: "A company of Imperials..."
  • Right you are. Good catch.
• The Imperials' stratospheric freighter should be listed in the infobox. You might also consider creating an article for it. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:47, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
  • Added and redlinked. I'll try to fill in that redlink tomorrow. Thanks for the review.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 04:19, December 19, 2012 (UTC)
    • Gotcha covered. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:27, December 19, 2012 (UTC)

  • Shouldn't the article follow the standard battle article format? I know you wouldn't be able to write much, but it should probably still be there. Commander Code-8 ^{To say hi, press 42} 09:18, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
    • Normally, an article should. However, in this case, I think it's better to just leave it as is. There would be next to nothing to add in the other sections. They are easily incorporated into the Battle section.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 22:37, December 10, 2012 (UTC)
• The article says over 3000 Rebels fought and over 3000 Rebels surrendered. This is strange, (almost) no one died? This could be an inconsistency directly from the source, but I'd like to know if maybe you mixed something up. Stake black ^msg 19:09, December 21, 2012 (UTC)
  • The source doesn't mention any deaths, so we can't assume.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 06:05, December 22, 2012 (UTC)
