  • The Encyclopedia equivalents of the Databank entries listed in the sources section should be included in the aforementioned section. Also, I would suggest using the image of the Bloodfin from the Sith speeder SWE entry somewhere in the article. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 03:57, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
    • Serious question, why is that? I'm assuming SWE is considered canon still given the last date it published/closed (July 1, 2014–post new canon date), yet it gives no new information than the current Databank entries. In fact it gives either the same or less. Obviously I will add them to sources, I just need to know what's the point, since the Databank supersedes SWE anyway. Secondly, the article is not long enough to use a third image, and the canon film images supplement it just fine. I think the SWE image can go in the FC-20 article instead.

      • Just to interject, the Encyclopedia preceded the Databank, and both contain canon material. Whether a specific Encyclopedia entry provides unique information does not change the fact that all relevant Encyclopedia entries need to be listed in the Sources. The Sources list should contain all valid source material, regardless of whether each one contains unique or new info. CC7567 (talk) 04:07, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
        • Cool, I knew it predated it, but I did want to know why we needed it. Thanks. Brandon beat me to adding it anyway, so it's there.Squishy Vic | message 04:10, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
          • Yeah, it probably works better on the FC-20 article. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:15, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
            • Yep, added it at FC-20 speeder bike. Squishy Vic | message 04:16, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
              • I added all the missing sources. Every one of those entries mentions the Speeder in one way or the other. Also, this means that its Databank entry isn't the first instance of it being called the Sith Speeder. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:21, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
                • Probe droid actually doesn't, however I've also added the Databank entry as they do contain relevant information to its role/purpose. Squishy Vic | message 04:25, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
                  • I removed the probe droid Databank entry because it wasn't relevant to the Bloodfin itself. The SWE entry, however, mentioned it the relationships section. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:46, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
  • 1st ID will need to be changed to the SWE article. - AV-6R7Crew Pit
    • Done.Squishy Vic | message 04:25, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
      • Also, it was first ID'd as the Bloodfin in Star Wars in 100 Scenes - AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:29, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
        • Thanks, I'll add it. I don't have that book unfortunately. Squishy Vic | message 04:30, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
          • Sorry I keep editing the page, but i'm just fixing some stuff not worth bothering you with. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:33, June 24, 2015 (UTC)
            • It's fine, I've fixed BTS/Sources to correct the in 100 scenes reference.Squishy Vic | message 04:34, June 24, 2015 (UTC)

  • You can probably remove the audio for the probe droid. Manoof (talk) 07:08, August 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • Can you shorten the captions a bit? You don't need as much context (which is all given in the article) Manoof (talk) 07:08, August 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • You attribute TPM to Maul using the bike in stealth missions, but that was only one particular mission. Manoof (talk) 07:08, August 5, 2015 (UTC)
  • Can you change "the sith plot" to "a sith plot", as the sith have tried several times throughout millenia to subjugate the universe. Possibly a sofixit, but I felt it would be better to voice it here rather than just doing the change, in case you disagree. Manoof (talk) 07:08, August 5, 2015 (UTC)

  • The final line of the characteristics section could probably use some clarification; I presume the "wait-mode" is really only intended for use if Maul dismounted quickly while travelling at speed. At the momenth, the sentence refers to any form of dismount, including a regular one.
  • Use of "the Star Courier Sith Infiltrator Scimitar" seems a little redundant here; would only one descriptor be better?
  • Last paragraph of history; switching the first two lines would serve better since the events would then flow in chronological order. - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 18:10, August 5, 2015 (UTC)
