  • Is there a reason "reptile" is capitalized in the intro?
    • Woops no, just me being lazy and using auto-linking. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:21, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • Alphabetize your categories.
  • More to come eventually. 1358 (Talk) 13:15, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
Savaged…
  • A bit confused: did podracing originate on Cyrillia and then move on from there? The lead implies as much, but if so, might be worth making this clearer.
    • No Cyrillia simply became one planet on the podracing circuit for a period of time and then fell out of use as a podracing area and was no longer included in the circuit. I've changed the wording in the intro to hopefully make this clearer. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:36, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
  • "which aimed to remove the cult from power" -- Can we get some indication whose goal that was? Certainly not the Alsakans...
    • Ah perhaps I've misunderstood the conflict then, looking at the Seventh Alsakan conflict's article and the atlas that was the impression I got. However I don't know as much as I should about the conflicts, what where the Alsakans trying to do?Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:36, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
      • No, I think I'm the one who misunderstood it! Maybe clarify, then, what you mean by the Cyrillians rising up against the conflict. Are they protesting the war, like what happened with war protesters in the U.S. Viet Nam war? ~SavageBOB sig 12:07, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
        • Sadly that isn't ever clarified there's just an event titled resistance on Cyrillia on the map with no more info on what exactly happened. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:49, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
          • Ah, OK. Then maybe reword: it's possible they weren't resisting the war but were instead resisting just one faction or some occupation. Maybe something like, "During the Seventh Alsakan Conflict, a resistance sprang up on Cyrillia" and leave it at that? ~SavageBOB sig 18:08, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
            • Sounds good to me! Changed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:18, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
  • Should Pit droid be capitalized? I'd say no, but there was a lot of goofiness in Episode I, thought I'd ask.
  • No images of the Cyrillians, I'm sure, but it's probably worth including an image of a pit droid somewhere in the article. ~SavageBOB sig 18:55, October 14, 2013 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
  • Please use the full {{SW}} template for the Atlas Online Companion, as I believe I've mentioned before.
  • Please try to proofread a bit more in the future; there were a number of typos throughout the article. CC7567 (talk) 19:56, October 20, 2013 (UTC)
    • Thanks for going through it! Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:51, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

  • "Cyrillians were native to Cyrillia, an industrialized planet in the Cyrillia system of the Cyrillian Protectorate, which was located in the Slice, an area in the Expansion Region." This reads very awkwardly, since you just go from "this place, which was in this place, which was in this place." Try and find a better-flowing way to communicate this.
    • Broken it up a bit dose that work? Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:38, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
  • "and by around 12,000 BBY, it was within space controlled by the Galactic Republic. During the Alsakan Conflicts, it became a stronghold of the fanatical religious cult known as the Pius Dea, who at the time controlled the Republic. In around 12,700 BBY," You're going backward in time here. Shouldn't it be safe to say that by the time the uprising occurred, Cyrillia was already in Republic space? If so it's an easy fix.
    • Think it's fixed now. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:38, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
  • Could there be an article for the transports the Cyrillians used on their world?
    • Added link will write soon. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:38, November 22, 2013 (UTC)
  • In the intro you mentioned that the Cyrillians got some profit as well out of their deal with Serv-O-Droid, but I'm not seeing that in the body. IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 06:14, November 9, 2013 (UTC)
Floyd es no jefe
  • Seeing how you're so willing to supply all the pages, can you please give one for the CSWE source (with the hidden code ofc)?
    • In the sources? I though you were only meant to use the page number part of the cite template in actual references? Ayrehead02 (talk) 00:55, December 6, 2013 (UTC)
  • You're missing a couple links there, fix it please. Winterz (talk) 23:56, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
    • Sorry to ask but you point out what links you mean? I can see any reading through it. Ayrehead02 (talk) 00:55, December 6, 2013 (UTC)
      • I went ahead and fixed it. Eh, I thought I had seen more before.. was probably mistaken. Winterz (talk) 02:51, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

  • Just a memo, you're dedicating this nom to the Administrators or to the WookieeProject Aliens? You'll probably want to correct that. :P Winterz (talk) 23:51, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
    • As great as the admins are this is for the project not them XD Ayrehead02 (talk) 00:55, December 6, 2013 (UTC)
