Object

Floyd's quick driveby
  • Intro needs to be split up to more than one sentence.
  • Bio shouldn't just pick up from where the intro left off. Bio and intro should be completely separate, with the intro just being a summary of what the body says.
  • Linking issues. Articles should be linked once in the body and once in the intro, nothing more, nothing less.
  • Take out the parentheticals. They inherently read as more casual asides, which is not an encyclopedic tone.
  • In the body you should use mdash's instead of ndash's. Also, take out those spaces surrounding them.
  • Take care of these and I'll give it another look. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:12, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the copy-edit, Trak. Stake black msg 10:49, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
What Trak Could Track
  • I went through this article with a copy-edit and divided up the intro, added the appropriate links, and made some changes to the bio, specifically introducing the Bith. That should address a few things that Floyd pointed out.
  • Was the story intentionally left open-ended? If so, that should be explained in the Bts as well. Otherwise, there should be some mention of the outcome of Fett's mission.
  • That's all I could see in this review. Trak Nar Ramble on 08:49, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
    • Yes, it's open-ended. The whole story is just Boba Fett rambling about how he'll take down this guy. I made the appropriate changes. Stake black msg 10:49, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
CC-8
  • Since the real name of this character isn't known the article should say that Bounty 239 was his designation. If your not sure how to do this look at some other status articles that are only known by nicknames. Commander Code-8 G'day, mate 21:31, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
    • How's it now? Stake black msg 21:37, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
      • Good, but it still needs to be done in the body. Commander Code-8 G'day, mate 21:21, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
        • Done. Stake black msg 01:29, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • If the article presents the subject as "Bounty #239," why is the article not at that title? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:01, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
    • Due to wiki technicalities. Try it for yourself. Stake black msg 01:07, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
      • Yes, that is annoying. We're looking into trying to possibly find a way around it. Will let you know if we do. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:38, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
        • Sure thing, thanks. Stake black msg 03:42, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
  • Please reload the infobox. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 09:03, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
    • Done. Stake black msg 16:33, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
  • The character's black eyes and lack of hair should be detailed in the P/T.
  • Good job overall. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:50, February 25, 2013 (UTC)
    • Done. Thanks. I appreciate the review and copy-edit. Stake black msg 16:57, February 25, 2013 (UTC)
Cav
  • You switch between "Bounty #239" and Bounty 239 throughout the article. I've corrected them to include the "#", but please recheck the article in case I missed any.
    • You got it.
  • You use quotation marks around the designation in some places, but not in others. How is it stated in the original source, with or without the quotation marks? In either case, you should be consistent in the usage. - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 10:53, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
    • "Bounty #239" is an alias. I've only added the quotation marks when introducing the term to the reader for the first time (intro and body). The source doesn't add the marks. Stake black msg 13:43, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
