Object

Prepare to be savaged…
  • "Kallaarac instructed the visitor to seek out the members of his tribe to see if they needed any help." Can you clarify what this means in the lead? Are these tribe members in the same caverns, or is the spacer running about Kashyyyk trying to find them, for instance?
  • I copy edited the article to avoid the singular they; I don't have a problem with it personally, but I've seen others object to it before. Hope things are still OK. :) ~SavageBOB sig 01:16, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

  • I think the part about his cybernetic arm should also be spelled in the biography. It's a rather important fact from his life. QuiGonJinn Senate seal(Talk) 17:58, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

  • A suggestion for the bio: Since the timeframe isn't established until the second paragraph, the "had" in "The Myyydril tribe and Kallaarac had long suffered..." reads a bit off. I recommend dropping it and adding something like "Prior to 1.5 ABY" beforehand so that the bio proceeds chronologically from a starting point rather than beginning at 1.5 ABY and then backtracking.
    • I believe I've done as you asked. OLIOSTER (talk) 05:55, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
  • Does the player character definitely speak basic? What I mean is, can it also be said in the p&t that Kallaarac understands Basic? Menkooroo 09:34, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
    • Its never definitely said what language the player is speaking and it was at one time possible to learn to speak other languages. The player can even be a Wookiee, meaning he is definitely speaking Shyriiwook.....so yeah.

  • Thanks to Kilson for a pre-nom review. OLIOSTER (talk) 06:28, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
  • One question: In the majority of articles that I've read, "1.5 ABY" is usually linked to 2 ABY. Is there any reason you linked to 1 ABY instead? Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 21:13, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
    • No particular reason. SWG is said to take place between Episode 4 and 5 and I believe somewhere along the line an assumption was made that this must mean 1.5 ABY. The linking could go either way, in my opinion. I haven't seen any SWG-related articles link it to 2 ABY either. Examples? OLIOSTER (talk) 08:15, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
      • If the 1.5 ABY date is an assumption, it needs to be removed, and not just from this article. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 19:13, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
        • Would it be best to say simply "sometime in 1 ABY" or even "sometime after the Battle of Yavin" then? Because the game definitely takes place after the destruction of the Death Star but before the events of Episode 5. OLIOSTER (talk) 20:27, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
          • "Sometime after the Battle of Yavin" or something similar. Stating a year would be speculation. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 00:05, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
            • Done. I would like to make clear that the "1.5 ABY" speculation was not my own. I saw it on other SWG-related articles and just went with it. OLIOSTER (talk) 09:46, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
              • Of course; I figured that was the case. Just one more thing I need some clarification on: do we know for certain that the urnsor'is attacks preceded the Battle of Yavin? If not, that sentence can stand on its own without the opening clause. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 11:06, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
