  • Is it possible to add the filming dates and location for the scene they're featured in? UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 09:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Appearance should be discussed first before identification in the BTS. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 11:38, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
    • The section flows better in the current arrangement, and since both the identification and appearance are placed in the same sentence the article won't benefit from reshuffling the order, IMO. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:27, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
      • That goes against ample precedent on film articles, and articles in general. The section should be laid out in chronological order. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 14:51, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
        • I disagree, but made the change if only for the sake of consistency. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 15:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
  • Double refs in the infobox are unnecessary. UberSoldat93 ClanMudhornSignet-Redemption (talk) 11:45, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Sorted the date note. For the affiliations field, The New Essential Guide to Droids only says the MSE-4 was used at Mustafar's lava mines, so it's necessary to cite Complete Locations for the Techno Union being the owner of the mines. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:27, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
Wait, Culator's reviewing an article?
  • I just want to compliment you on your use of the word "scuttered." I actually had to look that one up. But I feel like you should probably vary your wording a bit between the intro and the body.
  • If you watch the MSE-4 sequence in RotS carefully, you'll notice that they actually jump over a gap in the flooring. There's no ramp there, they actually physically jump like real rodents. (It's much easier to notice this when you go frame-by-frame like I did when I was grabbing the replacement screenshot.) This ability ought to be noted in the "characteristics" section, as I don't recall seeing wheeled droids display the ability to jump very often. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 23:13, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
Fred strikes back
  • I honestly think the last part of the intro, starting at "before he began," can just be removed.
  • The first sentence of the "History" section gives too much context for Mustafar. Can we restructure this sentence?
  • Also, the second sentence of "History" should be before the first sentence, as it comes earlier chronologically. MasterFredCommerce Guild(talk) 20:02, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
  • I think we can mention the noises they could make in the characteristics section, and an audio file of those noises could be really cool. MasterFredCommerce Guild(talk) 07:17, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
Immi Thrax
  • The latter part of this sentence isn't neutral: "Also known as mouse droids, MSEs' usage was only limited by their owners' imagination." (Is this a case of how the source describes them?) Perhaps rephrasing to being versatile, multi-purpose, or other term that doesn't oversell how useful they are? That's my only objection! Immi Thrax (talk) 15:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
