  2. Nice work, though I'm worried that, since he's confirmed to be mentioned in upcoming sources, the article may need an update. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 18:00, August 29, 2016 (UTC)

Previews from the upcoming book Star Wars: Poe Dameron: Flight Log have clarified that Asty is from Abednedo; this will need to be added to the article. - AV-6R7Crew Pit 16:19, August 27, 2016 (UTC)

  • Asty's final words shouldn't be under the 'New Republic service' section. Assuming you still want to include that quote in the article, have it moved to the appropriate section, and, if possible, try to get a quote from Bloodline that's relevant to Asty. Cevan IMPpress (talk) 16:28, August 27, 2016 (UTC)
  • Is there any chance of getting another image somewhere in the article? Perhaps a behind the scenes image, or a full-body shot of Asty in his flightsuit (such as the one featured in the Abednedo article. Cevan IMPpress (talk) 00:25, August 30, 2016 (UTC)

  1. Some basic formatting issues:
    • I would strongly recommend going no further than two or three cascading bullets deep in the infobox's Affiliations field. Wikia skin's very narrow margins make the article's current presentation look terrible. I'd suggest toggling back and forth between skin views to see what I mean. Just stick to his most critical affiliations. Things like "Resistance military" are entirely unimportant here.
    • The Biography has more than enough space to be subsectioned, which will allow you to use more quotes and images if available. More to the point, this will set you up to use some image in the Bio, which is more important than sticking an image in the P/T if you have to choose between them.
      • Well, the bio did have a couple short sections. I was asked above to remove them and just have one bio section. You still think I should re-add them? Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 15:28, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
        • I didn't realize another reviewer made this objection. I can talk to him if need be, but yes, I absolutely think you should reintroduce subsectioning. Five paragraphs is a relatively long Bio as far as GAs ago. Anytime a GA goes past three, I typically recommend it. I suspect this is also a case where Wikia skin plays a factor, since formatting between skins can be so radically different. If you toggle to that skin, you'll immediately see the need to divide this section. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:37, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
    • Once the preceding objection is handled, the article will most likely be more aesthetically prepared for a minor expansion to the intro. Two sentences is pretty short for a Bio so long. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:04, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
      • Sounds good, thanks. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 15:28, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
        • You should do more to expand the intro. The focus isn't so much how many sentences there are as how many lines of text there are, which is a variable factor depending on the infobox, images, etc. In this case, two or three more lines of text in the intro would do good to complement the Bio aesthetically. The "eye test" applies here. Again, this is all with regards to using Wikia skin. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:37, October 5, 2016 (UTC)
  • This article currently clocks in at 1,220 words by my count, which means it's too long for GAN. You're welcome to nominate it for FAN instead. The AC will remove this nomination per procedure shortly. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:52, August 24, 2017 (UTC)

  • I'm not going to add this is an objection since you aren't guaranteed a response, but you may want to try and contact Pablo Hidalgo or someone else who works at Lucasfilm and may know the answer on Twitter as to why Asty's callsign is Red Six, but he's said to be part of Blue Squadron. Cevan IMPpress (talk) 16:02, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
    • I already did, and was ignored. :( Maybe @WookOfficial could try? Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 16:09, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
      • If that works, I have a list of unanswered questions for @WookOfficial. :P - AV-6R7Crew Pit 16:21, September 1, 2016 (UTC)
        • I don't like to bother creators with continuity questions on the Wookieepedia Twitter, so I'd rather not tweet the question. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 16:57, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
  • Okay, just to be sure before I make the edits: Poe's Flight Log puts Ello in Red Squad. Since this is the most recent source, ok to overwrite the other sources which put him in Blue Squad? Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 21:26, December 3, 2016 (UTC)
  • Made a slight edit to the article, please take a look. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders AnilSerifoglu (talk) 04:05, May 31, 2017 (UTC)
  1. OK, update complete. Minor changes to Bio and P&T Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 15:40, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
    1. The link for seeker goes to a Disambiguation page, not sure whether you want to make the page for seekers or just remove the link? --Lewisr (talk) 15:45, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
