Object

  • Small quibble - in the BTS you state: Janarus's article documented his unanimous election to the position of Supreme Chancellor, which he held during the game. However, isn't Leontyne Saresh elected as Supreme Chancellor during the course of the game, replacing Janarus? If so, this should be noted as well as the article currently gives the impression that Janarus was in command for the entirety of the game. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 10:27, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
Quibbles and bits
  • Is the codex entry the election's only mention in the game? If so, use {{Codex}}.
  • Was the Cerean also a candidate? Wording like "the Senate unanimously voted to relieve the Cerean of his duties" an "voted unanimously to replace the acting Chancellor" seem to imply it. Does the original source similarly imply it?
    • No, that was poor phrasing on my part. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:50, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
  • "Senator Dorian Janarus was a representative of Coruscant in the Galactic Senate for many years before the emergence of the Sith Empire in 3,681 BBY and the beginning of the Great Galactic War, but these events made him a prominent figure." The "these" here is confusing --- and not because of the usual objections to "this" ;) --- but because we're in a new section now, and the only events mentioned so far are the emergence of the Sith and the beginning of the war. Is it the Sacking of Coruscant that makes him a prominent figure? If so, can you clarify? Menkooroo (talk) 04:27, January 15, 2013 (UTC)
    • Fixed. ;) He was prominent in general. Like the leader of a real industrialized country that goes to war becomes. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:48, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

  • I followed the layout of the original election status article, Galactic Republic Chancery election, 32 BBY, as I think the writer handled it well for a non-standard subject. It's sort-of like the Battle article set-up, in that it has a Prelude, the Background of the election; the battle, the selection of the Candidates (everyone knows that's the real battle in a political campaign); then the aftermath, the result of the vote and how it affected things.
