Erebus

• Looking over Strongholds of Resistance, the Hanna Wild Game Reserve is actually called the Hanna Wild Game Preserve. Please amend this, thank you. Erebus Chronus (talk) 03:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Wait, never mind, I have found it in the book. Striking. Erebus Chronus (talk) 04:01, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Zed

• "Majestic" feels a bit non–neutral viewpoint to me.
• "However, because the birds were seen as valuable hunting trophies, they were nearly hunted to hundreds of years before the Galactic Civil War." I presume this is meant to read "nearly hunted to extinction" or something to that effect? Zed42 (talk) 09:48, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Addressed both. VergenceScatter (talk) 15:24, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
• I think the intro could do with noting why they were well-protected.
  • Done.
• Is the "elusive" in the intro in reference to their low number, or something behaviour-related? Either way, it should be referenced in the body somehow. Zed42 (talk) 22:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Strongholds just states that they are elusive. It doesn't give a reason. VergenceScatter (talk) 22:30, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
    • I see. In that case, I think it should be mentioned in the Behavior section, as it's more indicative of that rather than their biology. Zed42 (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
• You should change up your opening sentences a little so that the intro and first two sections don't all begin with the same "Blackbacks were" structure. Zed42 (talk) 04:40, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
  • Is that better? VergenceScatter (talk) 17:04, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Macaroni

• "The Blackback was an elusive forest-dwelling birds of prey" — Shouldn't this be bird (singular)?
• I could be wrong, but I don't think it's necessary to mention the publisher in the Bts. JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 03:13, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
  • First one is fixed. Second one follows the precedent on other roleplaying status articles like unidentified coral. VergenceScatter (talk) 05:03, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
