Object

• Gowix Computers, known as the Gowix Corporation in the Old Republic era, - the use of "Old Republic era" is a little OOU. Please rephrase using IU terminology.
  • Done.
• The History section starts abruptly, with no lead in that explains what Gowix is, or what they do. And I think you can safely used the name Gowix Corporation with the "originally known as" qualifier. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 11:13, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. Cade Calrayn 18:43, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
• Due to the article split, the previous objections are voided. But, never fear, for I have new ones!
• Quotes: considering that the AJ7 NewsNet article is an IU publication, I think you could draw quotations from the text for the article header and subsections.
  • Done.
• No mention of the TOR-era Gowix and the fact that no official source has yet linked the two? - Sir Cavalier of One^{(Squadron channel)} 09:29, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. Cade Calrayn 17:01, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

Other

• Is there evidence that Gowix Computers and Gowix Corporation are the same entity? Or could one be an independent successor or a subsidiary of the other? --91.67.140.3 09:59, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
  • As it's headquartered on Corellia, located in Coronet, and has the same name, it's fairly certain they are the same company. It's likely that it was changed to "Gowix Computers" when it was acquired by TaggeCo. Cade Calrayn 17:17, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
    • So it's just conjecture? Kuat Systems Engineering is named "Kuat" and located on the planet Kuat, but it's not the same as Kuat Drive Yards. Baktoid Combat Automata is not the same as Baktoid Fleet Ordnance or Baktoid Armor Workshop. Republic Sienar Systems is not the same as Sienar Fleet Systems, Sienar Design Systems, Sienar Ships or Sienar Technologies, etc. If there isn't a canon source that confirms that they are the same company, it may be not a good idea to describe it as such in an encylopedia article. --91.67.140.3 00:17, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
      • Objection(s) overridden by AgriCorps 19:06, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

I revoke this company's license

• While it is sufficient as it is in the Intro, you should refer to CEO in (the rest of) the body, at least once, as Chief Executive Officer.
  • Done.
• The Bts is pretty confusing. If the company was first identified in TOR why is the article named with the identification the Journals gave it a decade before?! This objection should probably be on standby until you're able to fix the situation presented above by Cav. Winterz (talk) 12:50, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
  • That's not Cav, it's an anonymous user, but I've split them regardless. Cade Calrayn 16:23, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
• As you mention the organization alive in 1 ABY, you should probably add in the Rebellion era and so to the infobox. I try to do it and ease your work but I'm not sure about the due refs, so it's best if you do that instead of me. Winterz (talk) 16:55, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. Cade Calrayn 16:59, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

CC-8

• The Republic needs to be properly introduced and linked to in the body.
  • Done.
• Probably worth mentioning who the Republic was at war with. Commander Code-8 ^{G'day, mate} 06:15, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
  • Done. Cade Calrayn 00:38, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Comments

Approved as a Good article by AgriCorps 19:06, February 24, 2013 (UTC)

• I don't really have an interest in the article anymore now that they've been split, but I guess I'll see it through the GAN process anyway. Cade Calrayn 16:23, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
