50 words is nasty. Winterz (talk) 22:27, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
Hey, I understand your reluctance. We've been discussing this on IRC, and it's a weird topic. Good work though. Cade

Please reload your infobox.- Done.
Context on Galactic Civil War in the description.- Added.
Man, we really need an asteroid base category.- I have created one. On a cursory glance, I have found only one other base to add in it. If you're willing to fill that category up, go ahead.
- Actually, I meant a category for just asteroid stations/bases, which I've made.

Was the station itself named in the Atlas Companion? I think the companion only refers to systems, not the actual planets/stations/etc. Cade Calrayn 18:12, August 23, 2014 (UTC)- The Atlas refers to a "Desolation Station system." The name of the station is in the name of the system. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 10:11, August 24, 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, but that's a mention of the system and not the actual base. It's a fine line, but it's why planets don't (and shouldn't) list the Atlas and the Companion if only their system is listed. Cade Calrayn 16:11, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
- Except that there may be several planets sharing the same name, which is why we can't assume that "Yavin system" is an indirect mention of each of its twenty-whatever moons, I agree. However, Desolation Station is a unique thing. We know it's a one of a kind thing. We therefore know that if a system is named "Desolation Station system" it refers to this very exact station. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 17:57, September 2, 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is that the Companion lists systems, period. We don't list the Companion in the sources list of any planet just because the system has the same name. If we allow this, then we have to allow this elsewhere, which is not something we should do. It's a slippery slope that we shouldn't start down. Basically, if we've got an article for the system, the Companion shouldn't be listed in the planet/station/etc.'s Sources. Cade Calrayn 18:44, September 9, 2014 (UTC)
- By that logic, if a book mentions Anakin Skywalker as "Obi-Wan Kenobi's Padawan," we should not count it as a mention of Obi-Wan, since it refers to his Padawan. Except that we always counted it as such. But whatever, I'm done trying to prove my point, as I see that's it's pointless and I don't really care anymore at this point. The source has been removed.

Are the Rebels assisting X2 Grey Squadron?- Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 19:55, August 26, 2014 (UTC)- Objection(s) overridden by AgriCorps 00:15, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
- No, Grey Squadron has not been formed yet at that point. They're just a bunch of random Rebels. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 20:52, August 26, 2014 (UTC)

Toprawa
I'm objecting to Reference 4, which claims that NEC dates the formation of the Rebel Alliance to 2 BBY. NEC only dates the formation of the Alliance, which is formally the Corellian Treaty, to "less than two years before the Battle of Yavin." According to this text, that could easily be 1 BBY. It's simply not specific enough to source the 2 BBY date to. You'll need to find another source.- Addressed.
This might be a little frivolous, but I think the infobox's "Class" field should specify "Space station."- Done.
Is the punctuation in the Description quote exactly how the game presents it in text captions? Because there are errors there that should be changed otherwise.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:55, September 10, 2014 (UTC)- Yes, I copied all the quotes verbatim from the game.
