Ayrehead
  • Three of the backup links are missing permanent archival links, and two of those don't seem to work at all. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Fixed with a lot of help from Hanzo Hasashi.--Dat1899 (talk) 19:23, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
  • The affiliation field in the infobox should only ever have two levels: the highest and the lowest, so the Stormtrooper Corps line needs to be removed. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Done.--Dat1899 (talk) 10:20, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Do we not know where the scene was filmed? Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Fixed.--Dat1899 (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
      • Your reference link isn't working. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
        • Works just fine to me, try checking again.--Dat1899 (talk) 14:12, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
  • I think the BTS can be sub-sectioned and another quote added if there is one. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Could you on elaborate on the sub-section suggestion? Thanks.--Dat1899 (talk) 08:14, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
      • The BTS is four paragraphs long so I think it can be split into two two-paragraph sub-sections. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
        • This has been addressed. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:36, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
          • Upon the changes I made related to the splitting, I'm thinking the second sub-section could be just 1 single paragraph, thus making the behind the scenes only 3 paragraphs, and removing sub-sectioning? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 02:06, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
            • I think it looks good as is, in fact the second sub-section could do with an image, possibly from one of the other comic adaptations. Ayrehead02 (talk) 07:46, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
              • Added an image of the trooper shot by Leia to talk about him and DV-692 both not appearing in Classic Star Wars. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
                • The caption shouldn't overlap the appearances section and currently makes it sound like Organa is the one pictured. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:31, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
                  • Hopefully fixed. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 12:51, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
  • You date the novelization to December 1976, but our page has it released on November 12. Please include the full correct date. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Done.--Dat1899 (talk) 10:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
  • You should mention the author and artist of the Marvel comic. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Done.--Dat1899 (talk) 10:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Contemporary Motivators: Star Wars needs a release date. Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:46, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
    • Done.--Dat1899 (talk) 10:27, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
      • Is the full date not available and can the month actually be sourced to the issue itself? I'd mention that it's a comic as well for context. Ayrehead02 (talk) 07:46, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
        • I can't seem to find anything about the date. Among other things, the comic itself lists 1977, nothing further. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:19, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
          • For clarity, the real comic, not the Wookieepedia article. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:23, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
  • Does the audio description of ANH describe the trooper as male? If not then we shouldn't assume gender as we've started to move away from judging it based on appearance or voice. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:08, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
    • No idea about that, but changed to something I directly verified mentions gender. Unrelatedly, Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Prima's Official Strategy Guide confirms all clone stormtroopers were male during the Galactic Civil War, so for any cases of ones who aren't confirmed as Jango clones, that works.

UberSoldat
  • Please fix the Blogspot citation by following the documentation. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 08:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
    • I followed all the instructions there, so I don't really know what you are getting at. Do you want me to remove the "https://" from the archive? Is there something wrong with the archive date?--Dat1899 (talk) 10:02, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
      • I fixed it for you now. The instructions clearly explain how archive links should be done, and how you only need the subdomain of the blog URL. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 10:15, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Erebus
  • Is he a clone of Jango Fett? If so, then you could apply the same measurements of the other clones to DV-692, since he would be a Jango clone. Erebus Chronus (Talk) 21:52, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
    • Considering that Daine Jir and Nahdonnis Praji are officers in the 501st who aren't Fett clones, and because DV-692's confirmed to be an officer, unclear if he's a clone of Fett or another template in-universe. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 22:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

  • Please know that nominating an article that you've done little to no work on is extremely unethical and deeply frowned upon. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 08:59, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
    • I had no ill intentions, but you are right. I simply wanted to restore the article to good status sicne there's really not much wrong with it, most of the issues were fixed by myself and other users. Nonetheless, yes, it's a very bad thing to do.--Dat1899 (talk) 13:02, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
      • This article can still attain status. Even if a nominator does such a practice, if they see to it that any objections or other issues can be fixed in the process, can definitely still reach status. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 13:24, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
  • With no official request to archive, making a public comment that I would like this nomination to stay. To the best of my capabilities with assisting with anything that could be brought up, I would like to see this succeed. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 15:06, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
