  1. Would be nice if the image of Bossk didn't displace the personality and traits section, but alas. Cevan IMPpress (talk) 22:14, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

  • I think it's worth mentioning that Bossk was born on Trandosha. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:17, December 14, 2016 (UTC)
  • You'll need to include a separate reference for the 5 BBY date since Ezra's Gamble doesn't use that date anywhere. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:17, December 14, 2016 (UTC)
    • Done and done. - Cwedin(talk) 17:07, December 14, 2016 (UTC)

  • In the behind the scenes section you say Craddosk first appeared in Ezra's Gamble but he was only mentioned. Would it not be best to change it to saying he was first mentioned and then later in the paragraph where you say he was pictured in Galactic Defense changing that to he first appeared and was identified as Craddosk? --Lewisr (talk) 02:21, June 3, 2017 (UTC)
    • Good catch, looks like that was mistakenly changed in a copy-edit. I've reworded it a bit, so it should be good now. - Cwedin(talk) 18:45, June 3, 2017 (UTC)

  • "Cradossk was a Trandoshan male and the father of the bounty hunter Bossk. A seasoned warrior and respected bounty hunter,..." As you don't introduce Cradossk as a bounty hunter in the first sentence, the reader gets thrown off in the second sentence, thinking that you're referring to Bossk in the first clause of the second sentence. I recommend dropping Bossk's context here altogether.
  • I don't think adding Ezra's species as context really provides any value to the reader. Context for the sake of context is pointless. (edit: referring to the intro here. The way it's used in the body is fine) 1358 (Talk) 00:01, June 7, 2017 (UTC)
    • Fixed. Thanks for looking over the article! - Cwedin(talk) 02:44, June 8, 2017 (UTC)
  • "Like his father, Bossk became a bounty hunter, joining the Bounty Hunters' Guild" Is Cradossk's membership in the Guild also confirmed? The way it reads, it seems Cradossk is also a member. If that's the case, it's probably worth mentioning earlier in the article as well as in the infobox. 1358 (Talk) 11:38, June 21, 2017 (UTC)
    • Cradossk's involvement with the Guild is unknown, so I've removed the mention to avoid confusion. - Cwedin(talk) 03:13, June 23, 2017 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • Do either of these two sources actually say explicitly that Cradossk is Bossk's father? Or are you just assuming the intended connection based on Legends?
    • No, I just inferred the connection. I could try contacting Ryder Windham if you think it's necessary.
      • Well, right now the survival of this GAN is hanging entirely on your ability to get explicit confirmation that Cradossk is Bossk's father in Canon, because that's not something that you can currently support with the source material available. You can ask Ryder Windham what his authorial intention was, but I think anything he might say needs to be confirmed by Leland or Pablo, because he's not Story Group. Ultimately, their word is what you need to reference to support this claim. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:00, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
        • I've added a Twitter reference from Leland. - Cwedin(talk) 03:37, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
          • Choose your words a little more carefully next time you pose a question that will be referenced for eternity on Wookieepedia. Introducing your query as a "dumb question" doesn't exactly engender respect for this wiki's sourcing rules or the reviewer trying to make sure they're being followed. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:17, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
            • Duly noted, no harm intended. - Cwedin(talk) 04:22, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm leaving this objection now rather than fixing it so you can hopefully remember this for future nominations. It's extremely repetitive and unnecessary, particularly in an article this short, to state species and sex in both the Bio and P/T. Just pick one or the other where you think it fits best and go with that. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:43, August 14, 2017 (UTC)
    • Done, thanks for the tip! - Cwedin(talk) 23:04, August 15, 2017 (UTC)
