  • The gender links should be removed as we no longer link pronouns to gender. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • In the second paragaph of the History section, "large-scale battle" should be linked to the First Battle of Geonosis and Clone Wars also should be linked. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • As stated in the Individual Starship and Vehicle section of the layout guide, there should be a Description section that describes the features, weapons and dimensions of the Lapiz Cutter. I advise following the formatting on Ventress' ship. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • The name Lapiz Cutter should be cited to the Falcon 54 upon its first mention in the body, whether that be the Description section or the history. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Images asides from infobox images should say their dimensions, for example 250px. I advise checking the layout guide image section StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • In the BTS "Bombad Jedi" should be cited to the episode. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Are there any related quotes from the movies and/or Clone Wars? If so, they should be added at the top, below the infobox and one quote for each section as well, as shown in the Layout Guide.StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • The movie appearances can be cited to the movies themselves, while the dates should remain cited to the currently cited sources. I'd recommend following the formatting seen on Nyrat Agira. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Since there are a few images of the starship, an image category should also be added to the page. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • There is a lot of content that is currently infobox exclusive that should be added to the aforementioned Description section, as well as the History sections. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Also, the dimensions and weapons of the Sheathipede-class transport shuttle should be added to the infobox. These should match what is on the page for the Sheathipede and can be added as a "based off corresponding data" template if they are not citable to any source directly related to the Lapiz Cutter. I recommend following the format on Taggart's page for these. StarWarsFan327Talk 00:32, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I think I already did this.Gligo13 (talk) 17:23, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
    • Thank you for taking the time to review the article! I have implemented the first 4 and the 6th suggestion you've made. In regards to the 7th, there are no quotes about the Lapiz Cutter in the movies or The Clone Wars series, other than when Gunray tells two droids "We have to get out of here." or something similar in the Bombad Jedi episode. Let me know if you think I should add the quote. I will take care of the other edits you suggested over the next few days. Gligo13 (talk) 16:15, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
      • Any related quotes can be added. So that quote from TCW can be added to the page if it is said in the episode. You could also add something like the conversation between Gunray and OOM-9 after he and Haako exited the ship on Naboo. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:37, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I added the quotes we mentioned.Gligo13 (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
    • The changes you mentioned have been made. When you're referring to an image category do you mean ? I already created that page. I'm not sure what you mean by content that is infobox exclusive and should be added to the description and history sections. However, I did add information to the infobox. I'll be waiting for an answer regarding the quote. Other than that, I think everything you mentioned has been covered. Gligo13 (talk) 21:36, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
      • By "Infobox exclusive," I mean any information that is only mentioned in the infobox. Anything mentioned in the infobox should also be mentioned somewhere in the body of the page.
        • I think everything mentioned in the infobox is now also mentioned elsewhere in the page.Gligo13 (talk)
      • All images of the image category for the ship should be placed in a {{Mediacat}}. This should be placed in either the appearances or sources section of the page. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
        • I added it.Gligo13 (talk) 17:29, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Since you cite both 32 BBY and 22 BBY to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, you should alter the citations to differentiate them. I'd recommend switching to the Star Wars: Timelines dating templates found on the pages for The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, as we usually try to use the most recent reference sources for citing information. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I added Star Wars: Timelines to the reference list and changed the references from the Galactic Atlas to Timelines.Gligo13 (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
  • I'm seeing a mix of citing to Deflector shield generator and Deflector shield, but only one linked in the body of the page. While the shield generator protects the deflector shield, they are different things. If the Sheathipede has both, then they should both linked. Also be careful of redirecting links, such as shields, which redirects to deflector shields. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I removed one of the links. There is one link to the deflector shields page now.Gligo13 (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
      • There still is the word "shields" as a redirecting link in the history section. If that is supposed to be a Deflector shield generator based off what you have in the infobox, then it should be changed to that. StarWarsFan327Talk 20:31, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
        • I changed the link.Gligo13 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
  • The current infobox image is a bit fuzzy. Are you able to get a higher resolution image or an alternate clearer image? If not, you may want to make an image request at Wookieepedia:Image requests or the Discord server for a higher quality scan, from a user with image editing software. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I can't provide an image of a different resolution.Gligo13 (talk) 20:18, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
      • Are you able to get a side angle, such as seen in the infobox for the Silver Angel? That way the ship is still facing the front, but it may be a better shot of the shuttle. StarWarsFan327Talk 23:31, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
        • I can't get an image like that. As far as I know, the scene when the Lapiz Cutter arrives on Rodia is the only time we see it from the front.Gligo13 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
  • The section on The Phantom Menace should be expanded. OOM-9 talked to Gunray and Haako after the ship landed on Naboo. You might also want to double check to see if there may also be other images of the Lapiz Cutter that are currently don't have the Lapiz Cutter image category. If this is the case, you should add the image category to the images and if any of these are a clear image, they may also work for a better infobox image. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:30, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I added the information about the scene you mentioned. I think all images of the Lapiz Cutter have the "Images of the Lapiz Cutter" category and that the image that is currently used for the infobox is the only one we have of the front of the shuttle.Gligo13 (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
  • I think the years 32 BBY and 19 BBY should be moved from the Description section to the history section. The description is for the design of the ship. Specific dates are better suited for the history section. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:18, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I did this.Gligo13 (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
      • The citation for 19 BBY should be changed from the general Build Falcon 54 citation, to the one from the infobox citing it's destruction to Mustafar that year. Also note that the 'ABY-BBY' dating system is used for the second citation of the same year. For instance, if the page cited 19 BBY twice, the first would be 19 BBY, while the second would be 19 BBY.StarWarsFan327Talk 21:00, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
        • I made the change. I think each year is mentioned only once in the history section, but 22 BBY is also mentioned in the description of an image and 19 BBY in the infobox.Gligo13 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
  • There also may be some other sources that reference materials that show or mention the Lapiz Cutter, such as Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy – A Graphic Novel. Also, any other sources that show a picture of the ship or briefly mention the shuttle should also be added, even if they do not add any additional content. Many of these may be picture only, but still need to be mentioned in the list of sources. StarWarsFan327Talk 17:57, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I don't remember other sources that show or mention the Lapiz Cutter other than the ones already mentioned in the article. Other than this, I think I've made all the changes you mentioned. However, in regards to the suggestion to change the infobox image, I can't provide an image of a different resolution.Gligo13 (talk) 20:18, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
      • No worries. At the very least, I'd advise that you double check the Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy – A Graphic Novel, to see if that has anything else missing from the page. The graphic novel should also be added to the list of appearances of the shuttle. StarWarsFan327Talk 21:00, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
        • Thanks. I added Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy – A Graphic Novel to the appearances list. Is Star Wars: The Prequel Trilogy – A Graphic Novel an exact adaptation of the movies? If so, I think the appearances list from the article about it is incomplete.Gligo13 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
          • I do not know much about the graphic novel myself. As the nominator, it is your responsibility to double check all related sources. I also just added a few other sources I found that mention the shuttle. I advise double checking these and any related source material to them to see if any other content needs to be updated. StarWarsFan327Talk 13:51, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
  • The Mission to Rodia is currently only linked in the infobox and intro, but not the body. In my copy-edit, I added a link to the planet Geonosis. Keep in mind that Rodia, Geonosis, any mission, and any other page on any other character, events, locations, etc., should be linked somewhere in the body, regardless of if they are mentioned in the infobox or the intro. (It can and often will be all three, but they need to be mentioned in the body of the page as well.) Also, if a page is linked in the prose, it does not need to be linked in the image or quote descriptions. If it is not linked in the prose, such as character only mentioned in an image or quote description, then the page can be linked from the image or quote. StarWarsFan327Talk 21:00, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
    • I added a ink to the mission to Rodia.Gligo13 (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
  • In a few of the corresponding notes, Sheathipede is written without italics. They should all be written as pipedlinks, so Sheathipede can get those italics. The italics should match the format seen for the link to the ship written in the Build Falcon 54 citation and you should move the "s" inside the link as plural goes inside the brackets when writing a pipedlink.
