  • Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a little confused by what you mean by "concussion missile system." Are you referring to just the concussion missile, or are you referring to the missile and the launcher.
    • The articles in question always refer to the whole kit and kaboodle as a missile, which seemed counterintuitive to me (the launcher, no matter how disposable, isn't a part of the missile), so I started referring to it as a "system" without even thinking about it. But that's not supported by canon, so I've swallowed my intuition and removed all mentions of it as a "system." jSarek 20:57, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
  • You should give some context on the Pentastar Alignment in the History section, i.e. it's a region of space ran by a rogue Imperial warlord.
    • Okay. I'll do the same for the Red Moons, too. jSarek 20:57, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
  • Otherwise, looks good. Thanks for your contribution to the barn-burner jSarek. It really means a lot. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 04:37, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
Hooray! A rare jSarek nom.
  • Really good work! I'm just wondering if you can mention the range of 500 meters in the body, as it's currently exclusive to the infobox.
    • I can, and now have. jSarek 20:57, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
  • Do the sources simply indicate that the Red Moons are familiar with the weapon, or do they indicate that the Red Moons definitely use them? ie, is it fair to include them in the affiliation field of the infobox? Menkooroo 12:45, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
    • I could find no reference to the Red Moons actually using the Finbat, despite Sully Tigereye's intimate familiarity with it. Infobox mention removed. jSarek 20:57, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
Prepare to be savaged…
  • Since Gundark's Fantastic Technology: Personal Gear is an in-universe publication (as its in-uni name, Gundark's Gear Datalog), you should probably note that the Finbat missile was sold through that datalog. ~SavageBOB sig 02:01, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
    • You're right, I should. And so, I have. (And realized some important info about the date of introduction of these things in the process.) jSarek 03:48, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
I object!
  • Ironic that it is now I that is grading you, but it's only a minor fix. We have a redlink in the BTS section "Sourcefile" that needs a quick fill-in, and then I'll give my support for this article. :) -- Riffsyphon1024 06:33, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
    • Sorry to butt in, but one redlink is allowed per rule 8. Menkooroo 06:48, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
