Object

501
  • Context for Alderaan in the intro
  • I'm not sure if it matters, but I usualy put the gender and race in the history, instead of the P&T. You can chose to leave there however if you like.
    • Both ways are alright with me anyway, so I just followed your suggestion. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:41, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
  • Could you make it more clear that she died after 22 BBY?
    • In fact, I reworded the whole thing, since we do not know when she died ; it's just that the last time we saw her was in 22 BBY. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:41, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
      • The infobox still has her dying. 501st dogma(talk) 19:48, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
        • Well, I may remove it but... I guess she did die some day, didn't she? --LelalMekha (talk) 19:51, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
          • I guess so... Leave it if you want. 501st dogma(talk) 19:59, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
  • You could probally put a birth date of prior to 32 BBY in the infobox.
  • Looks good otherwise. Thanks for contributing! 501st dogma(talk) 13:34, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thank you for reviewing. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:41, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
Floyd
  • "During Finis Valorum's mandates as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic," Pardon me if I'm incorrect, but I'm pretty sure "mandate" is used incorrectly here. Something like "rule" would be better, but I'll leave it to you.
    • Since you are the native speaker, I'l just leave it to you and follow your advice. --LelalMekha (talk) 09:15, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
  • Context on Chianar in the intro.
  • I think a little touch of context on exactly what reaching the age of responsibility meant would be useful.
  • Is the mention of the Clone Wars really relevant? She doesn't seemed to be involved in any way. If you want to mention it, it should be shorter; maybe something earlier like "In 22 BBY, three months before the outbreak of the Clone Wars between the Republic and CIS, Merian had returned to her homeworld..." Thoughts?
    • Your rewording seems pertinent, so I actually endorsed it. --LelalMekha (talk) 09:15, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
  • Nice work. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 05:21, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
Hanzo
  • This might count as a sofixit, but please fix the infobox. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 21:20, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
Buns
  • Since The Refugee Relief movement is bulleted under "affiliation" in the infobox, Galactic Senate should be too, for consistency.
  • Her CCG card mentions that her agendas are peace and trade. Personality and traits dwells on the peace, but I think trade should be mentioned, too.
  • Refs [1] and [3] are the same. They should be merged into one ref.
  • Since "homeworld" doesn't necessarily mean the planet on which someone was born --- it could mean the planet where they were raised, for example --- I think it's better just to say that she was from Alderaan rather than asserting that she was born there.
  • "a necklace that gave her working gear a gentle feminine touch." It's a nice sentence, but it's very subjective. I think the article would be better off without it.
    • Cut off the sentence—I only kept it till "necklace." --LelalMekha (talk) 14:45, January 8, 2013 (UTC)
  • Liana's mentioned in Agrippa's databank entry, too. It should be added to the Sources section. Menkooroo (talk) 14:31, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

  • Not sure about the death date from the infobox being necessary, just because it seems standard practice to leave that field blank when characters' deaths are never canonically written. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 14:17, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
    • It's alright then. If there is a strong consensus about it, I'll simply remove it. --LelalMekha (talk) 14:22, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
