~~Per our discussion on Discord, we avoid pulling BBY dates based on the CRC calendar, and so it needs to be reflected with the birth date.~~ UberSoldat93 (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
- I think since it's only given as a circa 28 BBY and uses established events like the Battle of Scarif to calculate that leaving the birth date as BBY is fine. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

~~Vimdin's height is infobox exclusive.~~ Braha'tok enthusiast ^{Hello there} 22:33, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
- Fixed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

~~The intro mentions Skywalker without establishing any context or even a link.~~
- Ah damn, a relic of an earlier draft. Fixed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:26, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
  - You fixed it in the body, which was fine and now has a dup link. The intro is the one with an issue.
    - Oops, fixed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
~~"despite the fact he indirectly supported them" — it's unclear if this is referring to the crimes or the Empire.~~ JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 18:14, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reworded. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:26, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
~~Some of the quotes you're using are rather large; do you think any of them could be split up so that other sections can get quotes?~~
- Split. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
~~It's a little odd that the bit about hating his species is smack in the middle of describing the physical characteristics.~~
- I think it makes sense since that's where his species is mentioned. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
~~You also directly mention that he was an Advosze in the Bio and P+T, isn't only one of them necessary?~~ JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 18:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
- Removed Bio mention. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

If we know 7977 CRC equals 0 BBY, then that year needs to be linked upon first mention in the body. Given you use 0 BBY later, it would be beneficial to convert 7977 CRC to a BBY date and use BBY consistently in the article instead of throwing in the odd CRC date.
- See Shay's objection above, apparently we avoid converting. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
  - I'd like some better explanation than "per our Discord discussion" why we can't say 7977 CRC = 0 BBY if Scum and Villainy places Scarif in 7977 CRC and Galactic Atlas places Scarif in 0 BBY. 1358 ^(Talk) 15:46, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
    - Changed per Discord discussion which I'll summarize: Full CRC date used in this instance in order to include most precise date that won't be available anywhere else on the wiki. Mention of 0 BBY later in the article changed to "same year" as to not explicitly mention the CRC and BBY dates separately and imply they might be separate years.

~~In the Legacy section, you refer to Vimdin as the Advozse but you have not previously established his species in the body.~~ 1358 ^(Talk) 14:11, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- Blame Shay's copy-edit :P Now fixed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:08, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Just a question, the Boba revelation to Vader about Luke being his son is also in Star Wars (2015) 6, wouldn't that be better to use than kinda awkwardly saying the events of Star Wars 5 are indirectly referenced in Vader 6? Not sure what you'd prefer, so didn't want to list as an objection Lewisr (talk) 15:54, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
- How's it look now? Ayrehead02 (talk) 10:46, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
  - That works! Lewisr (talk) 13:26, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
