Object

  1. IFYLOFD:
    • Missing Prelude section.
      • Addressed
    • " After a brief battle, however, the Separatist forces retreated. Jedi Grand Master Yoda, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and Skywalker's Padawan, Ahsoka Tano then entered negotiations with the first secretary Desark Fey'lya" First secretary of what?
      • Addressed
    • "Skywalker and Kenobi, as well as Skywalker's Padawan Ahsoka Tano—who flew one of the Y-Wings, with Captain CC-7567 serving as her gunner—engaged droid Vulture Droid starfighters." Droid is repetitive. I would suggest you replace it with Confederate or Separatist—but do as you see fit.
      • Addressed.
    • "Seeing that his forces no longer overpowered the Republic" I don't think that "overpowered" is the appropriate word here.
      • Addressed.
    • Other than that, looks clean. Nice job. IFYLOFD (You will pay the price for your lack of vision!) 23:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
  2. Craven:
    • I can't find the name "Battle of Kothlis" in the comic. Where does it come from? --Craven 13:15, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
      • Well, it was fought over Kothlis, so it is "Battle of Kothlis" even if the name wasn't stated exactly. All battle articles follow the same approach with the names... QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 13:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
        • Jutting in here, but if it isn't mentioned in canon, it is conjecture, and needs the template. Craven is right. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 23:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
          • Fine, I've added the template, though I still think of it as a bit of overkill. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 06:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
            • Thanks. The thing is: We don't know which name future sources will come up with. It could indeed be "Battle of Kothlis", but it could also be Battle over Kothlis, Battle for Kothlis, Skirmish above Kothlis or 38th Battle of Kothlis. So until we get a canon name from an official source, we should avoid trying to pass our own conjectural titles off as canon. We already have too much speculation on Wookieepedia as is. --Craven 02:38, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Comments

  • Again, not appropriate to refer to a battle by its conjectural name in the text of an IU article. Graestan(Talk) 18:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
